3 Questions to Ask Yourself when Planning a Pigeon Forge Vacation

Are you ready to go on a Pigeon Forge vacation? The chance to get away to relax and have some fun always seems like a great idea! But before going anywhere the Willow Brook Lodge has questions you can ask yourself to be better prepared for your trip!

1. How many people would be coming along?

Do you want this trip to be for just you and your special someone, or are the kids out of school and it’s family vacation time? So first things first deciding the type of vacation you’re wanting and who that entitles to coming along with you. If you plan on having more people come along with you it’s also a good idea to see if your hotel offers any specials for groups.

2. What should you pack?

The first thing to ask yourself when packing for a Pigeon Forge vacation is, “what will the weather be like?” The weather can vary throughout the year, and that can determine how you pack for it. If it’s summer you will want a swimsuit so you can enjoy the outside pool at your hotel! If it’s winter you’ll need a warm, weather resistant jacket. Another thing to consider is how much are you allowed to pack? If you are traveling by plane there can be weight and height limits to luggage. If you are sharing a car full of people that can also limit the space your stuff can take up.
