Switching it up from covering Disney, we give an overview of our recent trip to Tennessee and the Smoky Mountain area.

On our trip, we stayed at Dolly Parton's HeartSong Lodge, visited the local attractions in Pigeon Forge and Gatlinburg, went to Dollywood, and drove up to the Biltmore Estate in Asheville, NC.

As always, here are our unfiltered thoughts on the trip!

Our initial reactions from Horizons: Disney Experiences Showcase at D23 2024. From the Monsters Inc. land at Hollywood Studios, to everything announced at Magic Kingdom, Disneyland, and Disney California Adventure, the panel had a ton of news to unpack.

Plus, a short rant about Epic Universe and our thoughts on a fifth gate at Disney World (at least for right now).

What are your thoughts on all of the announcements made yesterday? Let us know on Instagram!
