We loved the show, the food, the service, the place, the music, and the whole show.

You get served fried chicken, pulled pork, coleslaw, corn, mashed potatoes and dinner buns, and for dessert you have the option of banana pudding or chocolate pudding, everything was DELICIOUS!!!! 

The dancers and singers are AMAZING, very talented and very entertaining, and we had a first row seat so it was great, it really fulfilled all my expectations and more, if we could, would love to come back!​​

We had the pleasure of enjoying the Hatfield and McCoy Dinner Show, having a wonderful finger-licking dinner and was able to video part of the show featuring a huge cast of dancers and actors. 

It was worth every penny and then some for all the great food and entertainment!  Let us know if your enjoyed the video on our download!

This was a great show featuring the wonderful memories of Elvis and a few other legends - very good copy of Elvis you can witness his beautiful outfit and his voice on our video.  When you close your eyes, you would think it was Elvis himself - he's BACK!!!

We also took in the hilarious performance at the Comedy Barn and caught the one performer using three men from the audience!  The music with the fiddle, guitar and banjo was very entertaining - even invited the kids up on stage!  And I've never seen anything like this one fellow brought his dog on stage and pretended to make the dog talk - it was so funny!!!

One afternoon we took in a wonderful gospel performance by the Blackwoods.  They were great and that was their last year in Pigeon Forge before going on to Branson, Missouri.

On Dolly’s incredible journey from Locust Ridge, Tenn., to stages around the world, family has been her common thread. My People celebrates the family who inspired Dolly to achieve her dreams and travel to Nashville to pursue her destiny. Dolly’s family nurtured and encouraged her. 

In Dolly’s words, “With the love of your family, all things were possible.” 

My People features her brother Randy along with several other family members who share songs of the family’s strong faith, their deep love for the Smoky Mountains and their steadfast belief in Dolly.  She sat aside the Dollywood Theater for those family members so they would have a chance to entertain along with Dolly in her video.

We enjoyed listening and meeting her relatives and yes they were great singers and Dolly was on video right behind them on a huge screen - almost there in person!  Yes we did get some video of this wonderful show - on the download.

Lightning Rod, the world’s fastest wooden roller coaster; Wild Eagle, the country’s first wing coaster; and FireChaser Express, the nation’s first dual-launch family coaster.
