Capturing Dollywood Memories-Photo Memory Pass
Okay, let’s talk about capturing Dollywood memories, because trust me, you’ll want to remember every single bit of it. I’ve learned a few tricks over the years, and I’m excited to share them with you. Dollywood isn’t just a theme park; it’s a treasure trove of moments – the sheer joy on your child’s face as they meet Benjamin Bear, the thrill of conquering the Tennessee Tornado, the warmth of a shared laugh during a show, and the simple beauty of the Smoky Mountain scenery. I even get our Christmas card photos during our Dollywood adventures!
Take All the Pictures
First off, don’t be shy about snapping those photos! Dollywood is just brimming with picture-perfect spots. That big Dollywood sign at the entrance? Classic! And the Grist Mill? It’s like stepping into a postcard. Plus, every themed area has its own charm – Craftsman’s Valley with the artisans, Showstreet with the performers, it’s all so photogenic. And of course, the mountains themselves are a stunning backdrop. Don’t underestimate the power of candid shots. Forget posed smiles and forced interactions. Capture the genuine moments – the spontaneous hugs, the wide-eyed wonder, the shared excitement as you wait in line. These are the memories that will truly transport you back to your Dollywood adventure.
Dollywood’s Photo Memory Pass
Now, here’s a game-changer for the ride photos: Dollywood’s Memory Pass. You get all your ride photos – you know, those hilarious, windblown shots from the roller coasters? Plus, there are Memory Pass photographers stationed at the picture perfect spots as you enter the park! If you are parked in VIP parking and want to get pictures in front of the Dollywood sign, you can revisit this area any time to get your picture taken throughout the day even if you don’t enter through the main gates. And the best part? If you’re there during Christmas, it even includes your photos with Santa at the Santa Experience! That’s a huge deal, especially with little ones.
Photo Ideas
Even though we have the Memory Pass, I still love capturing those personal Dollywood moments. It’s about those real, unfiltered smiles and the pure joy of the kids laughing on the rides. I’m a sucker for action shots – especially those videos of their faces during the Wild Eagle drop. Absolutely priceless! And let’s not forget the culinary stars of the show – that iconic cinnamon bread definitely deserves its own photoshoot!
But, and this is important, I make sure to balance capturing memories with actually living them. There are moments when I put the phone down and just immerse myself in the experience with my family. The real magic happens when we get home. I love crafting digital photo albums and printing out my favorite snapshots. The kids love creating their own scrapbooks too! We love this one that is designed with butterflies! It’s like stepping back into our Dollywood adventure, reliving all the laughter and excitement. Sharing these memories with friends and family is incredibly special. Those photos and videos? They’re more than just images; they’re little time capsules filled with the pure joy and unforgettable moments we created at Dollywood.
