Here for the advice

I recognize some names from another board ;)

My wife and I are planning our first visit to the Smokies (at least as adults) and have rented a cabin for 3 nights in mid-April

We have no set agenda other than spending some time together and enjoying ourselves.

We hope to see Cades Cove and have dinner at one of the theatres and resteraunts.

Dollywood itself could be entertaining but seems awfully cost-prohibitive for a SDC theme park (as opposed to the giants in Orlando)

However, I'd like to hear any of your recommendations on the area. Sources for discounts would be a plus too. :D

If you like Cades Cove you may also like the "Roaring Forks Motor Trail" in Gatlinburg. It is a one-way road that goes into the mountains at the end of Gatlinburg (red light #8 I think) and comes back to the beginning of Gatlinburg (near the Aquarium).

You won't be disappointed.

Some very nice photos from Roaring Forks trail

Comedy Barn is very much worth the money, I laughed so hard my ribs hurt!!:)

Yes I have to agree the Comedy Barn is very good. They have something for all age groups. And it is like most all things in Pigeon Forge, it is geared toward families. You won't have to cover the kids ears or hide there eyes, just good clean fun.

I love the "Mind Reading Pig" and don't forget to look for the "Man Eating Chicken"
