So many country singers started here at Dollywood, and so that’s really a wonderful compliment to us!
Theres so much talent, not just in my family, but with all the young talent.
She said thank you in her own little way.

That sentiment is more than a quote on a board.
I do feel that way, she said.
I do appreciate the people that come through here.
She continued, explaining that she understands the investment families make to pull off a visit.
Its a lot of work, so I appreciate every bit of that.
Its pretty, so that if I have guests, I have a beautiful bedroom I can show.
But I have another adjoining room thats my junk room!
The park often hosts festivals with specialty foods and one of her favorites was the Festival of Nations.
They would bring me samples of all the food from all these different counties that was great!
But overall, theres nothing closer to Partons heart than family her favorite aspect about Dollywood.
We really are big on the family.
Just get through the doors, you’ll know what to do.
