Locations
The first location opened in Pigeon Forge, Tennessee in 1988, just outside the entrance to Parton's theme park, Dollywood. A second location opened in Myrtle Beach, South Carolina in 1992 and, although still part of the chain, was re-themed as Pirates Voyage Dinner and Show in 2011.
A Branson, Missouri location opened in 1995.
Former locations
Orlando
Opened in June 2003, the Orlando location closed January 2008 following what a company spokesman called "our best Christmas season". The property was purchased by Orlando Premium Outlets and the 1,086-capacity theater was torn down in 2012 to make way for an outlet mall.
Myrtle Beach
In September 2010, Parton announced the Myrtle Beach theater would close after 18 years for refurbishment changing from the Civil War theme to a pirate-themed Pirates Voyage Dinner and Show. This included installation of a 15 foot (4.6 m) deep, 750,000 US gallons (2,800,000 L; 620,000 imp gal) pool, theatrical lighting and rigging for acrobats. During November and December, the show includes Christmas elements.
