Food Booths:

Throughout the park, numerous food booths are set up to cater to every palate. These booths are located in various sections, making it convenient for visitors to indulge in their favorite dishes. Here are just a few of the must-visit food booths:

  1. Loaded Potato Tornado: Get ready to spiral into a world of flavor with the Loaded Potato Tornado. Enjoy an innovative take on the classic spud as freshly cut potatoes are skewered, seasoned, and deep-fried to create a crispy, golden treat. It has a beautiful an dfun presentation, but was admittedly a little difficult to eat.

  1. Hibachi Skillet Pork Belly: Fill your belly with the Hibachi Skillet Pork Belly (also available with chicken.) This was a good sized portion for the price, willed with fried rice, carrots, and peas. We would definitely get this one again, and maybe try the chicken option.

  1. S’mores Funnel Cake: For those with a sweet tooth, the S’mores Funnel Cake is a dream come true. Indulge in a classic funnel cake topped with gooey marshmallows, melted chocolate, and crumbled graham crackers. This delicious twist on a beloved campfire treat is the perfect combination of crispy, fluffy, and chocolatey goodness.

  1. Three Little Pigs Sandwich: Calling all barbecue enthusiasts! Head over and try the Three Little Pigs Sandwich, which contains roasted pork loin, pulled pork shoulder, and smoked sausage. You also get a side of slaw. With each bite, you’ll understand why this booth is a perennial favorite among visitors (and Bobby’s favorite of the day!)

  1. Open-Faced Grilled Cheese: Cheese lovers unite! The Open-Faced Grilled Cheese was my personal favorite. This treat came on toasted bread and contained four cheeses, including cream cheese. I honestly wasn’t expecting to love it as much as I did, so if you are all about cheese like me, don’t miss this stop! It’s back near the train station.

Tasting Passes:

To make the most of the culinary adventure at Dollywood’s Summer Celebration, visitors can purchase tasting passes. These passes allow you to sample a selection of dishes from various food booths at a discounted price. (Certain annual passholders get an additional discount!) With a tasting pass in hand, you can explore a wide range of flavors, ensuring you don’t miss out on any of the park’s mouthwatering offerings.

 Dollywood’s Summer Celebration 2023 is a not-to-be-missed event for food enthusiasts and theme park lovers alike. With a diverse range of food booths along with fun shows and a drone show, it’s the perfect time to visit. Hurry, August 6th will be here before you know it, and the celebration will be over. Book your trip now!

I’ve had an interesting first few days of being I’ve had an interesting first few days of being in my 40’s. A bit of a nerve wracking medical week I guess you could say.

Since turning forty, I’ve been all about simple changes that help me feel strong, healthy, and confident — inside and out. 

Adding Organixx Collagen to my coffee each morning has been one of the easiest ways to support my skin, hair, and joints while juggling busy mom life. It blends right in and makes me feel like I’m doing something good for myself every single day. 

Because for me, it’s not just about looking good — it’s about feeling my best, staying active, and showing up for the people and moments that matter most. 
Radiance starts from within, and @organixxco helps make it part of my everyday routine.

I turned 40 today. 🎉 Hitting a milestone like t I turned 40 today. 🎉 Hitting a milestone like this has me reflecting—not just on what I’ve accomplished, but on who I’m becoming.

I’ve always been driven to achieve, to push, to prove. But lately, I’ve been learning to celebrate presence over performance, connection over perfection.

Today wasn’t about checking a box or hitting a goal—it was about pausing, feeling grateful, and eating a ridiculous amount of cake with people I love. And honestly? That feels like growth.

Here’s to 40: more aligned, more grounded, and still a little extra. 😉

Turning 40 tomorrow. 🎂 Big milestones always Turning 40 tomorrow. 🎂 

Big milestones always make me pause and ask:
What am I proud of?
What needs to shift?
Am I becoming the woman I want to be?

💡 As an Enneagram 3, I’ve always been wired to achieve — and for a long time, that meant shaping myself into whatever version I thought people would like best.

There are tables where it’s clear I’m not welcome — and that used to wreck me.
But at 40? I don’t do cliques. I don’t do shrinking or contorting to be accepted. 👀

I’ll always be kind. I’ll always be respectful. But I’m done dragging a chair to tables that were never built for me.

I’m moving over. Making space.
Creating my own table.
