food IS a theme park
Come with us to Dollywood to try some EXCLUSIVE desserts!
Dollywood Dippin’ Dots!
Tennessee’s Dollywood may be known for its thrilling rides, world-class theme park experience, and ties to the uber-talented and massively beloved Dolly Parton, but it’s also home to some pretty incredible eats. In fact, you can find exclusive Dippin’ Dots flavors here! We tried a couple during a recent visit, and we’re sharing our thoughts!
A brand new Dolly Parton-themed hotel is opening soon in Nashville. This hotel looks to have some incredible theming, cool experiences, and of course, that classic Dolly Parton flair.

We recently visited Dollywood and tried some unique treats!
Bear Ice Cream Cone
We recently visited the Dolly Parton co-owned theme park resort in Tennessee and experienced everything — from the world-class rides to the incredibly underrated eats. Speaking of eats, we tried an animal-themed dessert, and we want to tell ya all about it!
For more than 15 years, we’ve covered food in the Disney theme parks. But during the past few years, other parks have been climbing the ladder to try and match Disney’s standard.
CINNAMON BREAD!
Of course, Disney isn’t just your standard amusement park fare — those who’ve dug deeper in the parks can see the critically acclaimed restaurants and fan-favorite snacks beyond just the Mickey pretzels and turkey legs. But as Disney raises the bar, we’ve seen other theme park giants, like Universal, step up their game as well. And now, the next big theme park food destination might be a spot that wasn’t even on your radar before.
Dollywood theme park is slowly capturing our hearts! The beloved theme park in the Smoky Mountains is home to some amazing coasters and all things Dolly Parton.
Let’s talk Dollywood!
If you don’t know, the park has also started doing different festivals throughout the year! Right now, you can check out the Flower and Food Festival from April 18 until June 7th. We tried a bunch of these festival eats, and we’re bringing you our FULL reviews!
Recently, we went to Dollywood theme park in the Smoky Mountains!
The Apple Pie
This colorful, butterfly-filled park is home to some of the country’s best roller coasters, snacks, and live entertainment! There are several famous snacks in the park, and if you don’t check out the 25-pound apple pie, you’re missing out on something BIG.
If you’re a theme park fan, I would bet money you’ve heard of Dollywood!
CINNAMON BREAD!
This Tennessee theme park is one of my favorite theme parks in the world, thanks to its great thrill rides, beautiful atmosphere, and amazing food. If you’re going to the theme park, I have one snack recommendation that blows the rest of them away. I’m here to scream from the rooftops about how much we love Cinnamon Bread!
While the Holiday Season may be here, theme park fans are humming “it’s the most wonderful time of the year” for a different reason: IAAPA!

But if you’ve been a fan of seasonal events at Disney World like Mickey’s Not So Scary Halloween Party and have been BEGGING for more, Dollywood’s adding a brand new experience next fall that you won’t want to miss!
While we usually keep our eyes focused hard on Disney parks around the world and all the latest news coming out of each one, we also keep an eye on the OTHER theme parks around Orlando, because they often all influence each other!
