Helmsey......Todd

I would shoot to stay in Pigeon Forge unless you are just wanting to try to be closer to the mountains. You will have way more options in the PF area, and be much closer to all the stuff there is to do. I would say 2 days at Dollywood to be able to move around at a leisurely pace and see everything. Other things to check out in the area would be Cades Cove in the park, Clingmans Dome in the park, and any of the nature trails\hikes in the park. It's sad that I live 30 minutes from there and couldn't really tell you about any of the food choices up there. I always hear people talk about

Great pics! Looks like the little man loved seeing the characters.

I'm in as well and looks like you had a good start to the trip. I'm betting you stopped at the Lost Sea in Sweetwater on the way down (as someone else mentioned).

This would be a good place for a witty 'small world' joke.

Someone needs to come up with a shirt like this. Giant Snarky head on the front and on the back #TeamFortFiends.

I can only speak for Pilot\Flying J but their bulk diesel lanes were setup to provide an added benefit (turning on the pump) for their commercial accounts. If you didn't have a commercial account with them the driver has to go inside and stand in line to make their transaction for fuel.

We strictly use P\FJ and we have the Good Sam card that will turn the pumps on at the pump, no need to go inside. At the other big truck stops near me you have to go inside like Rennie said and prepay, then settle up the transaction when you are done pumping.

Thats awesome!

This is our favorite parade by a large margin. I'd bet the girls still ask to watch it 1 - 2 times per week.

Somehow I missed the start of this TR but I'm caught up now. Tinkle tower.....now that is funny!! I wonder how many other FP pictures there are from 7DMT where only 1 person is in the shot? I can't imagine there are very many of those.

And what would they call the people who have to clean that ride... wipers?

Mickey shaped kibble!!

We took our Ford to the dealer because of the harsh ride and the fix was the leave with a Chevy The Chevy ride\interior just fits me better and feels more plush.

I saw this on the instagrams today:

In 2014 we were in the 1800 loop with a comparable size setup and were able to get in with only minor setbacks. There was a trash can across from our site that came into play when backing but we were able to get around it. I did have to push someone's golf cart all the way into their site but other than that no issues. Snug as a bug:

We were in the 900 loop last year and there was a group there that decided to turn it in to a "haunted loop" They had some decorations out that were more "universal like" and people to jump out and scare you. It was neat to see (the first time) but I'm glad they were on the other side of the loop from us. It appeared they had a half dozen or so out in costume scaring people.

Unless you are Disney. This way people can get it for the day (that might not be there without the discount) and the only thing they can do is shop and eat. Di$ney win$!!

I don't think you could go wrong with Anchor Down or something like River Plantation in Sevierville. Edit: River Plantation is full that weekend and Anchor Down has 12 back-in sites available.

So how do you hijack a deleted duplicate thread? Does the 10 post count still apply?

As long as it's ooey gooey I bet you have a deal....

$20 here, $30 there.... Before long you'll be required to give them your bank account info so they can take what they want, and just leave what they think you should have.

I use wash wax all on ours and it does a good job of making the bugs easy to clean off. For pesky stuck on bugs I take a watered down dryer sheet and rub them off the front cap with that. The dryer sheet leaves a bit of a film on the cap but it's easily cleaned off with a rag or paper towel.

Late to the party but I'm in. That blue Kenny cart is the same one we had last October. It was fast!

That part is here:

I wondered while watching the live stream how it would be watching offsite. Hopefully there will be some Fiends that will be able to report on this sooner than later :)
