🌻🌸🪷 2024 Spring Break Information You Will Want To Know! Crowd Calendar, helpful articles and more! 🪷🌸🌻

Hi Everyone,

Spring Break 2024 is upon us and everyone reading this article is getting ready for Spring Break in Pigeon Forge and Dollywood!

Read my article for some really helpful Dollywood Trip Planning tips and advice.  At the bottom I've shared some links to other blog posts I have written that could really help you out with your planning.

🔵Spring Break Chart

Last year I came across this handy chart for the many school systems that frequent Dollywood during their respective Spring Breaks, so I wanted to make sure and share again this year.  

This chart could really help you plan your trip whether or not you want to be at Dollywood during spring breaks 🤷‍♂️ or wish to avoid that timeframe all together!

🔵Crowd Calendar

Another helpful Dollywood Trip Planning tool is the Dollywood Crowd Calendar!  It's run by a third party that analyzes ride wait times that Dollywood publishes for their app.

🔷Check out Dollywood's Crowd Calendar here.

A cool feature of the Crowd Calendar is that it works many different amusement parks than just Dollywood, so check it out while you're doing your trip planning.

🍕😋🍓Dollywood's 'I Will Always Love You'-Festival Tasting Pass - Info you'll want to know! 🍓😋🍕

Hi Everyone,

As Dollywood gears up for the 2024 Season starting March 8th for Season Passholders and March 9th for the General Public, they are releasing important information that you'll want to know before you head to the park.

Here is the information about the always-popular Tasting Pass as well as all of the menu items they will be offering for the duration of the I Will Always Love You Festival, which ends on Sunday April 14th, 2024.  

With every pass you get FIVE - any FIVE Items on this entire menu for the duration of the IWALY Festival...you don't necessarily have to use all Five in one visit.  Get creative with it!

If you and your partner are on a 'date-night' so to speak, then splitting a pass may be the way to go.  You could each get two entree items, then split a dessert, as one possibility.  Or, if you're adventurous and hungry, then use up all five however you see fit, I am not judging you :)

One last thing, if you're on the fence about the pass, and may want to try one or two of these unique, limited-time menu items, then you can buy any of these items 'a la carte'.  You don't have to have the Tasting Pass to enjoy the festival food.

Let's dig into it, below.... Click on either picture to enlarge them.

🌟 Information about Dollywood's 2024 Season Passes, QR Codes, Entitlements and more burning questions - Answered! 🌟

Hi Everyone,

Are you ready for Dollywood to open its gates for the 2024 Season?  

If you have been keeping up with all the off-season changes going on at Dollywood, then you are already aware that Dollywood has upgraded their Season Pass operating system to accommodate QR codes, which will speed up the process of moving through the front gate.  I have to imagine it will help at food & merch locations as well - they often struggle with scanning the barcode on my season pass for the discount to apply.

Dollywood has written a blog post that answers many of the details about the Season Pass, Including:

• How to Redeem Entitlements
• How to Add a Photo to a Digital Season Pass
• How to Update a Season Pass with a Barcode to a Season Pass with a QR Code

You can find that blog post at this link - click here. OR, you can check out my screen grabs below.  Click to enlarge.
