SO MUCH IS INCLUDED!! ~ The Great Smoky Mountain National Park is the most-visited national park in the USA, and one of our very favorite places to be! We have chosen the things we love most in this picturesque ‘neck of the woods’, and are excited for the opportunity to show it all to you! ~~ Arriving in Pigeon Forge, TN, we’ll check into our home for the next 3 nights, Dolly Parton’s beautiful “DreamMore” Resort, where Dolly’s personal touches are sprinkled thru-out! Enjoy dinner on your own in her Song & Hearth Restaurant * We’re joined by a local professional guide for a 3-hour tour thru the Great Smoky Mountains to witness this beautiful mountain range that reaches towering heights of nearly 7,000 ft, but is most famous for its magical, smoky haze. World-renowned for the beauty of its ancient mountains and the sounds of picturesque rivers & waterfalls, witness them in harmony together creating a stunning panorama like none other! * A second highlight will be your day in Asheville, NC at the unbelievable 8,000-acre Biltmore Estate, the 1895 French Renaissance castle built by the Vanderbilt’s. Enter the 250room mansion with 65 fireplaces and 43 bathrooms, and cast your eyes across 75 acres of beautiful gardens to see what’s in bloom... plus enjoy a lovely lunch in their Stable Café! * One evening will find us at the Pirate’s Voyage Dinner Show where Blackbeard leads his crew in a battle on land, on deck, in water and high above full-sized pirate ships in a 15-ft deep indoor hideaway lagoon! We’ve been here ourselves, and it WOW’s everyone who sees it! * A special inclusion is “Titanic!”: Experience what it was like to walk the hallways, parlors, cabins and Grand Staircase of the Titanic while surrounded by more than 400 artifacts directly from the ship and its passengers. Touch a real iceberg, walk the Grand Staircase and down the ship’s hallways, feel 28-degree water, and learn what it was like on the RMS Titanic by experiencing it firsthand. Later, be guests for a private Captain’s Dinner in the Secret 3rd-floor Dining Room - excellent! * Board the ‘Chondola’ up to the mountaintop park called Anakeesta and ride a chairlift/gondola to beautiful Firefly Village overlooking Gatlinburg (or take the truck shuttle – your choice) *
