This needs a love button !!!! Congratulations Dolly
My family and I just saw Dolly yesterday for the first time at Dollywood.....she is AMAZING!!! We live nearby and our hearts were broken over the Gatlinburg fires, but Dolly donated so much money, time, and energy into helping those families rebuild their lives. She’s truly a fine human being! God bless you Dolly!

Dolly being Dolly, accented her compression gloves to match her outfit. Love it!
Dolly is just so pretty inside and out! She’s like a warm sun with warm spirits! She gives off the most pleasant energy you just want to listen and watch her all day long.! Thanks Dolly!😇

Dolly is truly one of the finest. She lives the motto of giving back to her community. And Dollywood truly is one of the best amusement parks. Great shows, exciting rides, affordable, and clean!
Dolly is so nice and some things you just can't fake and her heart is one of them ... I love Ms. Parton...
We loved the park. What really impressed me was how clean it was. Six Flags was so nasty, I expected it there but it was spotless. And no blaring metal or rap noise. We had s great time.

And remember you money will be well spent..Dolly employees many people, but she also always GIVES BACK. ❤ Dolly is a fantastic roll model and Christian Southern Lady.

Dollywood is one of the best parks in the country. Their coaster collection is relatively small but solid (especially Lightning Rod.) The shows are phenomenal and the food is very good for a theme park. Plus, you gotta love Miss Lillian.

Roller Coaster Fan agreed. We went this summer and lightning rod wasnt open for the whole week we were in TN. I find Cedar Point, Kings Dominion and Carowinds to be much better. Im more oriented towards the rides and these parks do that for me. And even if one of the big coasters are closed theres dozens more to amuse you. Plus the lines arent long, ive walked right on and rode coasters three times in a row at these parks while dollywood was a two hour wait for shit. Only so many times you can ride a rollercoaster and only so much you can wait for a dissapointment

I'm still pretty young and Dolly Parton is my favorite person ever. I just got back from being at dollywood a few weeks ago and it was amazing. All the employees are very nice. And we just happened to be there the day Dolly Parton was visiting! Best experienced of my life. I highly recommend DollyWood. Great place for the family. Our cabin was surprisingly close to the house she grew up in also. It was fenced off, but it was awesome to be so close to it. The place gave off a good vibe 💖💌👍👏👨👨👦👦
Oh I just adore Dolly and we’re visiting Dollywood from the UK next week, sooooo excited x
I’m so happy to hear that they are making a sequel to 9 to 5. I can remember when I was little watching it with my grandmother, I’ve been a dolly fanatic all my life, and that will never change. I am just so excited to hear about this I love Dolly and all of her movies!!!! Yay!
Thanks for sharing. Dolly is such an accomplished person, not just a great singer but also great businessman and philanthropist.
Imagine having your own park!!!! shes the best
She is just the sweetest! I can’t wait to go to Dollywood soon... she seems like a really neat lady!
I love how she is like I don’t ride because I have so much to lose my hair and other parts.

A great interview love Dolly Parton always so upbeat and positive
I had the opportunity to see Dolly and Kenny in concert several years ago. She is so good with her audience, just as kind and down to earth as they come. She talked to the audience like she knew us all her entire life, and it was a wonderful show. She's a great entertainer on stage.
I go to the parade that she is in every year and I remember when I was 3 Dolly Parton waved at me!!!!!!!! I was awesome
I am so grateful Dolly mentioned the Smokey Mountain fire folks are doing well in their recovery. That news brought me a lot of relief. God bless her and all the Help she provides them with year after year.
Such a lovely lady. Hope she continues her life in good health and happiness.
Always wanted to make this lady she is such a wonderful lady for the most warm heart and you can fill that when she talks and sings I know I'll never get to meet her in person but I can always wish her family is very fortunate to have her and their love what a sweet person I'll always love you Dolly.
I love Dolly. She always seems so sweet and appreciative. And did you notice how she pumped up the whole region, not just Dollywood. Great lady.
OMG,..a "9 to 5" sequel?!? How incredible!!! Can't wait!
I just love Dolly shes so down to earth. She seems like she would treat you like a good friend or family if you met her.
She is SO INTELLIGENT and admirable.
I’m so glad that I just live around an hour and thirty minutes from Dollywood! My FAVORITE place on earth!
shes so funny and sweet. An amazing person right here!
I cant wait to go there!
Dolly you are stunning as always ! Your so beautiful inside and out , your awesome !!
Been to Dollywood twice now and booked to visit again next June!! Love the Smoky Mountains, especially Gatlinburg. Long way to come from Australia but worth the long trip
Dolly was is by far the sweetest and most sincere person in the industry! A very spiritual and God loving soul, she inspires so many and is loved by so many! She knows no hate and her love extends beyond color, or sexuality-and she will be the first to admitting so! I always use a lot of her Old Southern Idioms when I post something or talk to Pts or others because she just had a way of staying with you. GOD BLESS YOU DOLLY, you are a TRUE COUNTRY MUSIC AND MOVIE LEGEND and I hope there can be a Joyful Noise Sequel with you and Queen Latifa or some other wonderful musical/movie such as that because the 2 of you were great together - make sure to include Keke Palmer and Jeremy Jordan too!
I need to go down to the Smoky Mountains and Dollywood. I feel like I'm missing out on something.

Dolly Parton is an amazing woman. She went from extreme poverty to the top of the world. I also think that she is a very smart businesswoman.
Glad to hear that all is coming back to normal after all the fires-would love to have the opportunity not only to meet Miss Dolly, but make some good music with her as well
Such a gracious lady. Beautiful too.
I absolutely love this woman..I live 6 hours from there can’t wait to visit

South God Queen Is it possible to be conservative without being racist or hateful? Of course it is. However, conservatism as it now dominates in the United States is heavily undergirded by hate and bigotry, and conservative politicians survive by constantly playing to these elements. If you can’t agree with that, I’d respectfully suggest you’re letting hopefulness blind your view of the reality all around you.

South Gah Queen sad that anyone could even bring up racism or hateful political views on a video involving dolly. Dolly is a great lady who has given so much to so many. She is a great role model for everyone. I wish more black athletes and entertainers would follow her lead. She was dirt poor. She hasn’t forgot that. The county she grew up in was extremely poor. I remember what it was like. She has changed every thing there through her good works. A little less planting of hate. More planting of positivity like dolly will bring massive change to our world. God bless you dolly.

Cleveland Campbell Right, so you could contemplate and confront the discrimination that black athletes have been protesting lately, or you could take the incredibly lazy route of blaming the black athletes for voicing this reality. And this choice of pseudo-positivity (actually just further discrimination) is something Dolly would never, ever, ever do, as she has far too much moral imagination for that. And that is what makes her so universally beloved. Something for you to contemplate.
I am 10 years old! My trip is before my birthday by 5 days!!! LOVE YOU DOLLY!
I can't lie...years ago when I heard she was opening Dollywood, I thought she was making a huge mistake. So happy to have been wrong!

Noah Mullen ~ There’s a video on KZread where Dolly is in an Irish Pub. Here’s a link to the video Just tap on the blue letters and it will take you directly to the video kzread.info/dash/bejne/ZKWMqNGHotTPY7w.html It’s a very random video and they actually get her to sing “Coat Of Many Colors.” A band member at the Pub accompanies her on the guitar and does a great job. This is my favorite Dolly video because it’s so raw and natural.
I’m heading that way in three days! We will be staying in a place called Copperhill tn, we usually stay close to Gatlinburg area, but we chose this time to rent a cabin in a smaller town and give them some tourist dollars, to me I think all this little towns offer rich history an have a lot to offer as well! So Copperhill we’ll be seeing you in three day! So excited!
Great vid.
I love Dolly and Dollywood. My dogs stay at doggywood while I enjoy my day at the park.
My Dream is to record an album with Dolly Parton. She is my Hero. I have a Dolly room in my house of stuff I have collected for 35 years. I'd love to meet her & take my picture with her. Lol

Judging by these comments I think you might be right.
I got to meet ms. Parton as a kid because my dad was there with a press event and she was the kindest lady I knew. She almost stole my pen cap thinking it was one of her nails.
Today is May 9th and I am going to Dollywood on May11th for an Honors Trip for school. It is 2019 going to the new Wildwood Grove!!!!!!
Notice how she says opening day is like the first day of school, something everyone can relate too: That’s Dolly always knowing the right thing to say we can all relate too.
Dolly patron is absolutely wonderful she is beautiful inside and out love you Dolly ❤ I go to Dollywood all the time ...I am proud to be a smoky mountain girl too Dolly ❤
I personally can't stand country music but I do think dolly parton seems like a really nice lady so I feel like people shouldn't judge a person on what they do
Been there this May, had a great time with my friends, loved the rollercoasters and enjoyed the superb food and even enjoyed a show with music from Dolly Parton. She is a great host - also here in this live show promoting her theme park. Love to come back someday.
OMG that boy in the background on the left is hilarious!
