Maybe, but I think Gatlinburg is more of a 'long weekend' type of vacation than a full replacement for Disney in most situations. I'm a Nashville fag so maybe my thinking is getting a little distorted because that's how I've always viewed it. It's a fun place and even though it's a little kitsch I've always had a great time there and the national park is legit A+ tier. I've been to like 30 national parks and the Smoky's are in the top 5 for me.
Point of my essay is people fly from all over America/the world to go to Disney while I don't think most people do that for Dollywood and it's just a large and absolutely excellent regional park.
