Only restaurant I found that was good was the Old Mill Cafe. We had the best time just exploring the National Park hiking on some trails and playing in the creeks, wish we would have spend more time there. Dollywood is a nice park for a day trip.

Leave.
That place will be my eternal hell. There is nothing but ungodly traffic, magic shows and pancake houses everywhere.
That place makes Baton Rouge feel like a vacation.

You have to be specific for what you're going for.
Smoky Mountain Knife Works is insane. I spent about 2 hrs in there the week after Christmas and could've spent more.
Old Mill in Pigeon Forge is good eating. We ate at Paula Deens too which I thought was fantastic.
Apple Barn Winery was a lot of fun. Wine was good, they make fresh apple fritters with vanilla ice cream which was great.
The national park is beautiful, just pay attention to the weather.
I have no desire to do any of the touristy trap places in Pigeon Forge. If I go back with just the wife, we're getting a cabin somewhere and just enjoying the scenery.

I was in Gatlingburg in mid July. There's this old saloon on a street of mud where you can play poker. Saw an epic fight between this dude and his dad.

We go to Gatlinburg every summer. We found this REALLY COOL camp site that has cool scenery. It's in Elkmont, TN, about 30 minutes from gatlinburg. You drive through the Smokies and it's an awesome place. It's an old mining camp where the cottages still stand today. I'd pack a lunch or bring something to grill (they have charcoal grills all throughout the drive there)Check it out in the link

If you like Aquariums, the Ripleys one there is good

Best thing to do is just see all the sights; I usually just drive up the mountain and stop at some of the trail heads. The town is very touristy.
Check out ober gatlinburg too. You can ski and ice skate up there.
