Dinner this evening will be on your own, with time to relax and unwind from the day's travel.

DAY 2

Wake up to a deluxe continental breakfast included in the hotel followed by a narrated driving tour of the Great Smoky Mountain National Park. Enjoy the splendor and beauty of the mountains and keep your eyes peeled for bear, deer, raccoons and any of the many animals and wildlife of the Smokies. Your guide will enlighten you on both the natural and cultural history of the mountains and the people that call it home. Afterwards, you will have free time on your own in downtown Gatlinburg for lunch on your own. Next, prepare to be entertained by the show rated "Best Show in the Smokies", Country Tonite. The show provides the best in quality entertainment with singing, dancing, comedy, powerful gospel and Patriotic numbers in a high-energy performance. It's that "feel good" kind of show that will stay with you long after you leave for home. The fun doesn't stop there, your day concludes with the Pirate's Voyage Dinner Show. Ahoy Matey! A fabulous four-course feast is included as you join the most famous pirate, Blackbeard, and his quartermaster, Calico Jack, as they lead their crews in battle on land, on deck, in water and high above full-size pirate ships in an indoor hideaway lagoon. After the show, you return to the lodge for the night.

DAY 3

Following a deluxe continental breakfast at the lodge, you have a morning of leisure in downtown Gatlinburg or grab your cameras and enjoy an OPTIONAL experience on Ober Gatlinburg that soars 2.1 miles from downtown Gatlinburg and reaches a high point of 2,813 feet above sea level.
Their two 120-passenger counter-balanced cars provide an amazing and memorable, aerial experience. In the winter of 1972, an idea to provide a safer, more comfortable way to reach the ski area was needed and the Gatlinburg Aerial Tramway was born. The upper mall currently houses the skating rink, retail shops, an arcade and eateries. (This is an optional tour and an additional fee of $33 per person applies and must be booked and paid for in full at least 30 days in advance of the tour's departure). Lunch is on your own and at your own expense while in Gatlinburg. Early afternoon, you will have a behind-the-scenes tour and tasting at Ole Smoky Moonshine Distillery in Gatlinburg. Moonshine used to be something that was made in the hills and done so with old stills and illegally, or at least that was a long time ago. Ole Smoky takes that homemade goodness and mixes it with palate-pleasing flavors for people to enjoy. Learn about the process of making moonshine, take part in a sampling and have the chance to purchase different products that Ole Smoky infuses with "the fruits of their labor". Afterwards, you depart for admission to the Titanic Museum that continues to open the door to the past in its one-of-a-kind way letting visitors experience what it was like to walk the hallways, parlors, cabins and Grand Staircase while surrounded by more than 400 artifacts directly from the ship and its passengers. Visitors can also reach their hands into 28-degree water, try to stand on the sloping decks to experience what it would have been like on the RMS Titanic on the ill-fated night. Next, dinner is included at an area restaurant prior to returning to the Greystone Lodge for the remainder of the night.

DAY 4

Your day begins with a deluxe continental breakfast included at the lodge. Mid-morning you will depart for the Island in Pigeon Forge to browse the shops and have lunch on your own and at your expense. The Island offers more than 80 shops, restaurants and attractions including a 200-foot Observation Wheel to catch spectacular views of the surrounding area. Early afternoon, you have admission included for Dollywood to enjoy the Park and Dollywood Craft and Entertainment Village at your leisure. Known for its down-home charm, this world famous 150-acre theme park is as unique as its namesake and offers something for everyone and every interest. Dollywood offers a range of rides from low thrill to high-flying, a variety of shows and entertainment throughout the park, and don't forget during the fall Dollywood features Harvest Festival Crafters including unique artisans marketing their crafts and savor the flavors and tantalizing aromas of seasonal treats that tickle your tastebuds. When the sun sets over the Smokies, the park transforms into a display of autumn splendor as thousands of carved pumpkins and larger-than-life pumpkin icons light up the night. Great Pumpkin LumniNights is the highlight of the Harvest season at Dollywood illuminating the evening sky with the whimsical warming glow of over 12,000 pumpkins and is accompanied by live music that fills the air with the sounds of Southern gospel, bluegrass and country tunes to tap your toes to. At the conclusion of your time at Dollywood, your return to the lodge for the night with fond memories of your illuminating experience in the Smokies etched in your mind.
