PIGEON FORGE, Tenn. (WTVF) — Dollywood announced it will no longer require reservations for guests to visit its parks.
In response to the COVID-19 pandemic, reservations were required at Dollywood and Dollywood's Splash Country.
Splash Country still requires reservations, but on Tuesday, officials announced Dollywood guests could not only attend the park as they please, but their tickets were also valid for a five-day window.
One-day tickets and multi-day tickets will be valid for five days after the originally selected date, meaning a visitor’s plans must change at the last minute—or if the weather doesn’t cooperate—they may visit at another time during the ticket window.
“With the favorable feedback from our guests and the confidence our management team has in being able to continue to provide a satisfying experience for our guests, we are going to make it simpler and easier to visit the park without prior planning by removing the current reservation requirement,” explained Craig Ross, The Dollywood Company President in a press release. “Guests are sharing their praise for the extensive efforts we are making during this pandemic. They are telling us they enjoy the shorter wait times, and that they find it easy to spend their day with us.”
