ho ho ho Merry Christmas YouTube viewers from the Smoky Mountains my voice has
not come back completely but here we are in Pigeon Forge Tennessee and I am
looking forward to some awesome Christmas stuff okay so the bike well
it's still a little frozen it is bitterly cold here in Pigeon Forge but
no snow no precipitation on the way so let me bundle up and then we're gonna
figure out the trolley system across the street here I'm staying at the KOA here
in Pigeon Forge and I'm gonna find a way to make this all happen so come along
with me we'll have Christmas together guys
alright I'm comfortable now right next door to the KOAT is Liberty Park over
here we're gonna cut through the park there we go sweet Mama's cafe and
Patriot Park also at night they've got this Park all lit up with the bridge and
the waves they got Statue of Liberty and a big Liberty Bell replica that's all
lit up for Christmas that's really pretty from just looking at from the
park and this is the public transportation system of Pigeon Forge
Tennessee the funtime trolleys we're gonna take a trolley around this morning
very neat designs on the side of the bus with all the bears trying to get to
Pigeon Forge yeah Dollywood doesn't open till 2:00 p.m.
here this week of Christmas so I'm going to get on a different route first and go
find some breakfast pretty reasonable prices here too it's a dollar per trip
or you can get a three dollar all-day bracelet that's good for unlimited rides
anywhere in Pigeon Forge and the reason why I did the three dollar unlimited one
is because I'm gonna go get some breakfast before Dollywood so I'm taking
two different trolleys two different times so for trips the unlimited
bracelet is a good
I ordered my pancakes a little different there it is the Reese's peanut butter
pancakes always put peanut butter on my pancakes anyway so I'm probably gonna
like this hmm you on the other hand you might not
like it oh my stomach's full my head hurts a little bit but in a good way
hey that was a world class peanut butter pancake right there I didn't even have
to ask for more peanut butter that sucker was loaded now I'm gonna be wired
all day awesome trolley system works really well here in
Pigeon Forge I got off a few blocks before I got back to the Transit Center
are you kidding me this gorgeous here it's the old mill
restaurant but the waterwheel going over there and the waterfall here
gosh really beautiful wait I think we can actually go down here that's cool
let's go look at the water it's very Rudi down here
pretty close to it Merry Christmas everyone
what a view I'm having a good Christmas how about you they're doing live Iron
Works in here
how cool is that everything around yeah I love Pigeon Forge just like that here
we are at Dollywood this is Dolly Parton's theme park a lot of adults I
mean actually I haven't seen any kids yet something a little different and
Disney right all right let's get in there alright here we are we're in the
park Dollywood everybody on a beautiful sunny
day here in Tennessee no snow well chilly chilly hi if I think 41 and
a low of 22 today once it gets dark tickets are incredibly reasonable here a
three-day ticket is less than one day at Disney World so man tasty treats there's
a Dollywood butterfly rice krispies
hey nice job dolly nice park and if you're a fan of no lines you also may
like the small crowd series Chevy Belair there and chasing rainbows the Dolly
Parton's story and there's dolly up there she's actually here at the park
every season to uh light the tree get everything started up oh they're playing
twas the night before Christmas and theater here we got red to drive-in over
there oh and the reindeer lots of Christmas everywhere look at that
ginormous Christmas tree and Dollywood I'm gonna vlog because I'm by myself and
it makes me feel better to talk to you guys that's what I'm sharing Christmas
with somebody else is that cool all right come along the Christmas event is
a little different than a normal day at Dollywood you know because the park
opens later it's more men for night when when the Christmas lights are up so it's
only about 2:30 now but there are some rides open there are your kids and
grandkids they are definitely welcome here but like I said it's it's kind of
more of a adult theme even though there's rides and stuff oh you can feed
them I don't have a quarter guys sorry I just love the theming very Western II
looking everywhere I don't know what I'm gonna eat tonight but pizza soup it's
pizza like you've never experienced it before thanks to this party pizza soup
served piping hot pizza and a bowl welcome back to bat one here's we wait
for the Train there's some train info oh we got cows
on the track
dogs and taters dolly you're the best but I want to save most of the town
square for tonight when there's Christmas lights so maybe we should
check out some rides first Oh train depot here they actually have a steam
train the Dollywood Express that takes off from right here and goes around the
park area there's a water tower for the steam
train ride was fun but I kind of have a headache from the coal smoke and
everything that it took me right back but we went right back to the Old West
there and you know they let me bring the camera and film some stuff on there
which is the least I can say for other rides like even the carousel here no
cameras no cell phones all the coasters I already talked to him they won't even
let me have the GoPro chest mount like you can in every other theme park in the
world no cameras of any kind on any of the
rides I'll be honest I wasn't expecting that kind of threw me off I'm like how
am I going to share any of the rides I'm not I'm not gonna share any rides with
you because that's Dollywood's rule a little unique a little different but
everything in park is different in the countries gonna have to show you some
other stuff he gets some magnet ideas here in the train depot that's kind of
cool there are rides for all ages here operating in the winter on Christmas
just so you know and they're not even that busy
this one though I definitely would not ride this is not my style this just
upsets my stomach like Tower of Terror at Disney
why Wow that tree is gonna light up and do something special tonight we'll be
back when it gets dark I do have a little portable battery charger with me
to charge my cell phone and stuff but because a cool rod company heard of this
one you can buy these name parks including Disney but you don't actually
have to buy these ones you can buy them online get your first one then you can
swap it in these parts for the one you get cheaper online another way to charge
your cell phone in case you're running low but I think it's time to find some
food wait for the Sun to set and then we'll start seeing some Christmas lights
pretty different theme park in the Smoky Mountains I like it
think it's time to have dinner how about aunt granny's restaurant all you can eat
all right plate one
like home cooking plate - turkey and chicken times tater haters here alright
the plates are starting to look the same baked chicken potatoes love that Turkey
hey dollies childhood home oh that's pretty cool to preserve doll this is her
bedroom yeah I feel like this video is gonna be a little weird because I
couldn't even bring my cell phone onto the car ride over there to go over there
cannot film anything in Dollywood's very weird I already picked out my
magnet like a wrench lightning rod Dollywood I don't have anything like
that so that's a very Corky very unique little magnet there it's really happy
with that the Sun has set just a matter of time where we start seeing lots of
Christmas lights here right time for a snack two of my favorite Christmas
treats gingerbread cookie and a nice hot chocolate oh it's good that is delicious
let's go find a show and go up to glacier ridge even though it's not quite
dark let's go find a show I love this park got a little nativity scene here at
Dollywood you mean Christmas isn't just about Christmas lights presents and
Santa I like what they've done with the park well different there are even some
bald eagles here at Dollywood up here I'm gonna try to zoom in we'll take a
look see them up there right there that's as close as I can get to them
all right we've got the northern Raven in here
the red-shouldered Hawk alright now you're gonna fly Harris Hawk yeah I'm
talking about you desert eagle owl African hide groan Harris Hawk black
vulture and a red-tailed hawk hello oh hey dude I didn't know Heidi
Merry Christmas turkey vulture Oh oh sorry

southern Christmas going on got out of the bird show and ran into some other
youtubers that I know maybe you know him but Yankee in the South will and Dawn
you guys have a channel in about these parts and that's what we do nothing but
the Smoky Mountains and what have ya we do some travel a little bit outside it's
nice to run into you guys I've been following him on you too they've seen me
with Jacob if you do follow you for at least four or five years so this is a
real true world ed so yeah we will hang out here a little bit and see what we
can find as it gets dark
all right got a little cold so I did layer up I've got thermal on here and my
hoodie and I got light these up later but during the Jada and Jimmy show up
there they told us something about well the restaurant aunt granny Asst that's
what dolly was called growing up because she didn't have any kids of her own and
so they told us that she would adopt all of her sister's kids and she was like an
aunt and a granny getting the most sugared up and everything so that's the
story I guess behind the restaurant they didn't know earlier really good food in
there we're starting to see Christmas lights come on get dark
well the park is about to close I still got a walk and then get on the trolley
and then go back and see Jax so Jax niala talk to you one more time all
