Send us photos, memories, travel tips, anything that you would like to tell us about your experience in the Smokies. Every week we will highlight reader's comments in this article. Thanks for all the feedback. We love to hear from you!

  

This week's question, "Christmas is less than 4 weeks away! Have you started your Christmas shopping or are you a last minute shopper?" 

 

Last week's question, "When visiting Pigeon Forge during Winterfest what is your #1 favorite thing to do while in town?"    

 

Jacob writes, "Whenever I am in town for Winterfest...Dollywood is one of my favorite places. I also love the lights and driving around at night with nowhere else to go so it is awesome! Also, just staying at my cousin's condo with hot chocolate by the fire watching a Christmas movie while it is snowing!! :)"

 

Joy says, "We have already been to Winterfest.  We love all the lights.  One of our favorite things to do is see one of the Christmas shows.  We bring our now 5 year old granddaughter, Christmas through the eyes of a child.  We have been bringing her since she was 11 months old, a tradition we look forward to each year.  She loves the Smoky Mountain area and looks forward to it each year, we bring her in the spring, also.  One of her favorite things to do is go to the Veteran's Day program in Gatlinburg, she calls it the "eagle" show.  She loves the eagle."

Carolyn writes, "My Hubby and I returned home a few days ago after spending two weeks in Pigeon Forge and Gatlinburg. One of our favorite things to do is get a hot cup of coffee or cider and ride around talking and enjoying the Christmas Lights.  They are more beautiful each year.  Another favorite thing is to spend several days and evenings at Dollywood enjoying all of the great Christmas Shows and the beautiful lights and decorations.  We are never disappointed in the beauty of the Smokies or the Christmas decorations."

Belle Island is Back! 
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Belle Island, a project that has been long delayed is scheduled to open in the Spring of 2013!  After many delayed and cancelled opening dates the Belle Island property is now in new hands.  Darby Campbell and Bob McManus, partners in LeConte Village LLC., purchased the property from Regions Bank for $10 million dollars last week.  The developers got the property for a deal since the original investors had already put $80 million dollars into the property. Campbell and McManus plan to open "The Island at Pigeon Forge" in Spring 2013.  They will start gathering entertainment and retail businesses to occupy the property.  One proposed highlight of the new development would be a 200-foot skywheel with heated, cooled cars.
