We live in East Tn.Our 2 favorite places to stay are Red Roof Pigeon Forge,in the Kids Suite (2 rooms,1 for kids w/sofa,kitchenette,tv,bunks and one with a jacuzzi and king bed for parents)and the Inn at Christmas Place(more luxury than most PF hotels and a delicious breakfast and fun pool slide).We love to eat Bennets BBQ and No Way Joses(meals from$5.99)..we love "The Miracle"show..anxious to see new dinner shows"The Hatfields and McCoys" and "The Lumberjack Dinner Show"...If you like animals "Rainforest Adventure is great,albeit a bit stinky.
AAA discounts abound in PF for most attractions when you show your card,also coupon books are available at most hotel lobbies and many restaurants.
