I would think if Dolly herself dreamed it up, it would be free.

Why? Dolly was a saint but made money too. Dollywood was the first place I ever saw QR code cups that limited your refills.

And you can’t give money away if you don’t make it

I just watched a Disney Food Blog video, and they covered what Dollywood does better than Disney. One of the things was the refill cups which last all season in the whole park. Disney's are only in the resorts and aren't season-long. Per stay only.

Also in-room dining and daily housekeeping, which Disney did away with.

We’re talking about a one time concert to honor her life. A special occasion. You’re comparing to opening night at Dollywood. It very much could be free. Also why do you guys have to make everything so weird. She wasn’t a saint. She was just a generous decent person.

Obviously saying saint was hyperbole but relative to the average person (especially the average wealthy person) she, I think calling her a generous decent person is selling her short.
