Save the date: Dollywood, Saturday, May 19, 2012

Cool. I know sometimes it's CoasterBuzz Club members and X guests. Just trying to make sure I have it all squared away.

The ordering information is available on the Dollywood event page:

Their online stuff isn't ready, unfortunately, so you'll have to phone it in. Please order post-haste so they have a good catering count.

You say "post-haste", but do they have a deadline? We're trying to weigh some stuff out and it would be helpful to know exactly how much time we have before we have to make the commitment. Thanks!

I think everyone here should already be committed... Oh, you meant the event. Sorry. ;)

A week before would be ideal, so, May 12.

Hey folks... if you're planning to attend the Dollywood event, it would be fantastic if you could order your tickets by Wednesday, May 9. That will give them a good count for the meal.

Thanks!

Oh, crap! I totally forgot we had to call to order.

We'll call tomorrow.

Anyone else have trouble reaching someone? Been calling all day but keep getting pushed to voicemail.

They must all be busy riding Wild Eagle. :-)

Yeah I had to call a couple times before I reached someone this morning around 10:30am. She took my name and phone number down and siad the person who was in charge of selling the tickets was out today but would be back tomorrow.

Ok, thanks. Then I'll just try again tomorrow, I guess.

An update for those taking I-75 to Dollywood in the coming weeks:

The previous lane shifts were only causing minor delays over the past month but these recent developments might change that.

I'll only have to worry about going north (will be visiting NC first, and traveling down 77), so I would like to think it wouldn't be a big deal on Sunday.

Yay! Got my confirmation email.

I think I'll just stick with my plan to go around the f'd up part of 75.

I don't have my confirmation e-mail, and I ordered two days ago.

Got it in almost exactly an hour from getting off the phone.

So do we have a count (unoffical or otherwise)?

I have the whole family so we count as four.

I don't. I suspect it will be a fairly small group, which should make for some sweet ride time.

Just registered myself and a friend. We are both really excited to visit the park for the first time, and camp out for a few nights at Cade's cove.

I left a voicemail and received a call the following day.
