To Dollywood like a local in 2023, you’ll need a season pass! There are multiple amazing festivals throughout the year you won’t want to miss and a season pass allows you to see them all, as many times as you want, for a much lower price than if you were to purchase a daily ticket on each visit.
Be sure to comment on this post and to enter on Facebook and Instagram for our Two Silver Season Passes giveaway! {Live on March 7th}
The most affordable pass option for families is the Silver Season pass. A Silver Pass gives you access to all of the Dollywood festivals, including everyone’s favorite Smoky Mountain Christmas, a $5 discount on daily tickets, and two Bring-a-Friend free tickets to use during the 2023 season. There was a bit of confusion during the launch of the 2023 season passes, but we’re here to clear it up! The adult Silver pass and Bring-a-Friend tickets do have a few blackout dates during peak seasons, but the Child pass does not have any blackout dates. This makes the Silver pass by far the most economical option for local families who want to visit Dollywood. And don’t forget, if you have a child in Pre-K they automatically qualify for a FREE 2023 season pass so be sure to register for one!
One of the most exciting things coming to Dollywood in 2023 is the new HeartSong Lodge & Resort. If you’re a local looking for a staycation, then this resort is going to be the perfect place to take your family! It will open in Fall 2023 and boast rooms with balconies and space for up to six people, an onsite restaurant, pool, hot tub, plenty of family activities with Camp DW and more.
If you have a large group of people wanting to go to Dollywood, then staying onsite at a resort makes the most logistical and economical sense for a few reasons:
- Resort guests have Priority Park Access
- Each member of your family gets a complimentary TimeSaver Pass
- Complimentary Trolley transportation
- Free package delivery to the resort from the Park shops
- Saturday Early Park Entry for Exclusive Ride Time
When you add up the costs of all of these perks per person for an entire family, it’s almost a no-brainer to stay at the resort so that you can get them for free with your stay. If you’re looking for a staycation before HeartSong Lodge & Resort opens in the fall, DreamMore is always an option and you get all of the same perks!
Dollywood creates a one-of-a-kind getaway for your family whether you’re visiting for one day or one week. Will you be checking out the new resort for a staycation in 2023? Have you already gotten your season pass so you can Dollywood like a local?

We just moved to the area last year and my son was not old enough to do really anything when we went. Would be super excited to be able to take him this year and him be able to ride everything. It’s such a fun place to go here in East TN.
