I am at the Great Smokies Lodge right now..
Here is what I can tell you..
When you check in, you are offered a lunch "catered by Shoneys" and a 75 dollar Amex gift card.
They collect a $20.00 refundable deposit which is returned at the end of the presentation.
They told me that it was a presentation on "The Island at Pigeon Forge" but they never mentioned the Island once during the presentation.
The food was mediocre at best and I would question it being made by Shoneys.
We were served "chicken fried steak", instant mashed potatoes, green beans, bread stick and a cookie.
The meal was 15 minutes then the presentation was probably 45 mins with 15 minutes spent at the weasels desk.
I politely turned her down and was back at the pool in a little over an hour with my money back and a $75.00 gift card.
On another note, this must replace them coming to your door with a gift as no one came to my door.
