Now THIS is the type of crowd i like. We made the mistake last summer of going up to anakeesta on a Saturday in June. The temperatures were in the 90s it was brutal plus we waited 2 hours just to get onto a gondola. When we made it up to the top it was wall to wall people we couldn't even enjoy the views plus there were no seats to sit down anywhere , all the food was over an hour wait. We didn't get to enjoy ourselves up there like we wanted to so we left disappointed. The next time we go I'm going to make sure it's in the fall or winter time. You guys look like you enjoyed yourself!

Sevier county resident here! Us locals only go places in the off season, in the summer we're usually too busy working but we wouldn't be going out anyway 😂

Terrific video. Thank you for sharing Anakeesta with us.

Thank you for sharing the beauty of Gatlinburg.

Anakeesta is so beautiful all lit up for Christmas. Dawn is too funny on the bridge. Thank You for sharing with us.

I loved when Dawn shook the bridge. That was fun!!

I was there just a few weeks back and it was full of pumpkins. It's amazing how quickly they can transform the entire park. It truly is a fun and amazing place to go and have fun. Beautiful Christmas decorations!!

Loved this - Thank You!

Great video Will. So sweet that your Sister got to go for her 1st time. We were planning on going for our first time when we were there last month, but it was raining all day so we figured we wouldn't see much of the pretty views. We will check it out in the Spring. Thanks for the video . ❤

So pretty!

Will and Dawn, you two are Precious. My Wife and I get tickled at Dawn's giggling when she shakes the bridge. We don't miss an episode of your travels, it brings back good memories. Love You Two Ron and Cindra Tandemriders2

Anakeesta does a beautiful job with their Christmas lights 🎄 So cute when you asked Dawn about the mistletoe. I agree with Dawn , the pink birdhouse was the coolest. Nice to see your sister Jamie . I don’t think I would like to ride the ski lift at night, but the views were beautiful 🎄love the background music you choose for your vlogs, They’re always nice and theme appropriate !👍

Hello 👋 Sunny 🌞

It was great seeing Jamie again. I was on my way home to PA on Mon., Nov. 13th and Flash Phelps on Sirius XM radio 60's channel asked if the snow people were out in Gatlinburg. By watching your recent video I could have called in and told him yes but I was driving. Gatlinburg looked beautiful all lit up as you decended on the lift. Been to Dollywood 7 times since last fall but haven't made it yet to Gatlinburg. Dawn's going to get coal in her Stocking for misbehaving.😁 Thanks for taking us along.🎅🤶

I love how bouncy the bridge is! It’s my favorite thing there 😂

We were there November 4th. Our first time going up there. It was really nice. They were still working on the bird houses and slides then. It was very crowded. We had to wait over a hour in line to get on the ridge rambler.

Gotta ❤ it #gatlinburg

The moment Will's voice starts getting panicky, I start smiling because I know Dawn's getting ready to shake the bridge!!,, 👍😆😅😂🤣

The lights were absolutely beautiful. I always get a kick out of Dawn shaking the bridge. I love it when you shake the bridge. Dawn and Will says Dawn quit shaking the bridge and then you laugh.
