Just got back from my daughters dance Nationals in Pigeon Forge. We rented a cabin a mile from convention center. It had an arcade, pool table and hot tub. Was killer! We had 3 families there cause they're not cheap, but SO much better than a hotel. We never even ordered food. The crowds there are just dumb af, no masks, no distancing. Avoid the tourist bullshit and enjoy the family time dude, I sure did.
