Refreshing this thread as we find ourselves in a similar situation to the original poster. We are west coast natives who now live abroad and are starting to think about plans for fall '23. We have no exposure to the Smoky Mountain region and are bringing a couple of English friends who thought some "leaf peeping" and exploration of this area would be nice. While we'd avoid many of the big tourist traps, we are interested in a couple of the dinner shows, perhaps a day at Dollywood if we can catch the beginning of the Christmas season there and would do a hike or two in the park.
So....any updated suggestions or thoughts? We'd likely come in the last weekend of October. I know that means leaves may have already dropped, but I figure we'll be mobile enough to move around the park or nearby to find any beautiful vistas that remain. Any updated reports from the Westgate?
Reading this thread made me a bit depressed and hesitant.
