Attention Tourists: Dollywood CLOSED Today, Was Only Open 9 to 5 Yesterday Because of Brutal Cold and Ice in Pigeon Forge

TODAY TUES DEC 27: Dollywood is closed today, and hopes to reopen tomorrow.
YESTERDAY: It’s 26 degrees and snowing in Pigeon Forge, Tennessee right now.

So Dollywood will only be open from 9 to 5. I’m surprised those aren’t the regular hours!

Attractions like the Mystery Mine, Lightning Rod, and the one where three office workers string up their boss to a garage door are all closing early!

Tourists will have to bundle up in their cabins or whatever. And wherever Dolly Parton is, let’s hope she’s warm and cozy!
