Owners of a family retreat are often just as concerned about guests' treatment of their getaway, as you are concerned about renting the best choice for your family's unique vacation requirements.

Must. Not. Miss. Of course, there are many activities on your list while here in town. Of course, you plan to attend Smoky Mountain Christmas Festival at Dollywood, and enjoy the merry holiday environment created throughout the themepark. But please, make sure and attend this year's stage production of Dollywood's "A Christmas Carol". The show is the only version of this classic tale anywhere that uses holographic technology for "special effects cast members" throughout the production. It is a Broadway-style musical with extravagant Victorian sets and costumes, and an 8-song original score written by Dolly herself. Playing at the Celebrity Theater inside the park, this 45-minute delight occurs 4 times daily at 2:30, 4:15, 6:15, and 8:00 pm.

The 2013 parade has 100-plus entries, with a dozen marching bands, inflatable characters interacting with spectators, decorated floats, animals, 6 flying helium balloons, and much more entertainment throughout the hour-long march.

An award-winning, nationally recognized event, this year's theme is "Santa's Beach Party", with annual new display additions and a longer driving route through the hundreds of thousands of lights.
Snow fans should slap the board rack on the car, and head to the Back in Blue Rail Jam at Ober Gatlinburg, next Friday, November 22.
