Dollywood review: Wait times

We took our family and grandkids on 6-24-2026. From the time we parked our car(s) to the time the tram picked us up was a 20 minute wait. After getting into the park, family members were able to ride six rides all day due to wait times / lines. There app says one thing but in reality, wait times are much longer. We were there from open to close. With the costs, the bang for the buck was not there. Add to that, seeing individuals buying the fast pass and getting to ride while you wait in the heat. Was it worth it? NO! Will we go back? NO! The only positive for the day was the park is clean. Attendance limits need to be set which would allow minimal wait times. Food costs were high which may be the norm for amusement parks and that area. For seven, plan on spending at least $130 - $150 for lunch.
