Creator's Key Takeaways

If you are heading up to the Gatlingburg Pigeon Forge area, going on the Fourth of July weekend, not the best idea.

We had a really, really good time in Tennessee.

It was really interesting what we got to see, but we got there. By the time we got there, it was so crowded.

Carnival is doing its own thing. Everybody's going to have to judge for themselves what's important.

Creator's Tips & Advice

✓Avoid Gatlinburg/Pigeon Forge on Fourth of July weekend due to crowds.
✓For group travel, an Airbnb can be cost-effective and allow everyone to stay together.
✓Board your cruise later (e.g., 1-1:30 PM) to potentially avoid crowds and have a smoother experience.

Crowds at popular attractions — Go early in the morning during off-season to avoid crowds.
Choosing between Airbnb and hotel for travel — For group/family travel, Airbnb can be cost-effective; for solo/couple travel, a hotel may be preferable.
