Right now, including PAT's family (who just registered), there are FIVE families who are signed up to go. That means there are at least 5 more rooms held. Someone.......boook 'em!!

Hi . . . I'm Kim. I know I don't post much, but I have posted some and I read this board a lot. I have two children - Logan is 4 and is blessed with a little extra. Carson will be two in September. I've talked to my husband about this get together and he seems to think we might be able to swing it. We're only about 7 hours away, so that helps. I was wondering about the ages of our kids, however . . . are they a little young to enjoy this (does anyone have experience with this age in Gatlinburg/Dollywood)? It looks like they would be some of the youngest ones going.
Thanks - Kim, Logan and Carson

Kim, We live so close, and we've taken our kids to Dollywood and to other attractions in that area SO many times!! Dollywood is a really laid back sort of amusement park, and the water park is a pretty typical water park and has a nice kids area.
Annette has 4 kids and her youngest 2 are very close to your kids ages. Ashley, her daughter with Ds, is 4 and she has a younger daughter who is either 2 or about to turn 2.
COME and join us!!
Susan

Kim, Kids will always have a great time when they're around other kids! It sounds like the pool is great at the hotel and they should love that! I know as a mom we're always thinking about our kids and putting them first - which is absolutely fine - but consider you and your husband also. This could be a fantastic way for both of you to meet new folks, enjoy yourselves and to have a great time, too! For my kids, just staying in a hotel is a really big deal ( as long as I don't make them share a bed!). We have been to Gatlinburg/Pigeon Forge twice and we just love it, so much to do. You guys will have a blast! Hope to see you in July!!

Well, it looks like we'll be going to Gatlinburg, too! I haven't made our reservation yet, but I hope to do it tomorrow. I think it'll be a GREAT time, and my husband and I are already looking forward to it. I can't wait to meet all of you IRL (in real life). Thanks for your kind and helpful comments. Kim, Logan and Carson

Well, we can find a Sam's club and get a BIG ole cake too! Is there a Sam's club or a Super Walmart near by Susan? I always need to know where one of those is... I can check I suppose too!
I also asked about the kitchenettes and thought I wanted one until he told me that the rooms have fridges and micros.. which is what I can't live without on vacation with Russell.. so that will do... and no kitchenette is needed.
Oh... and IF someone does need a kitchenette but NOT a suite... it's only $10 extra a night.
