We are going for Thanksgiving for the first time and I hear the traffic is worse than normal, it makes me cringe because I go to the mountains not to be in a rat race but we have a 5-year-old and want to be close to things for him to do other than just hanging out at the campground or we would just stay in Cherokee. Any tips on avoiding the traffic other than don't go into Pigeon Forge on Black Friday? We wanted to take him to the pirate Dinner Show and I see they have afternoon and 6:45 Showtimes, do you think the traffic is less later in the day?
