Dollywood's opening day full of sunshine, shows and Dolly herself

Friday marked the beginning of the 2018 season called 'Season of Showstoppers.'

Dolly Parton launched Dollywood’s “Season of Showstoppers” on Friday with a preview of some of the upcoming shows and a festive parade of colors.

Parton said the park wanted to put an emphasis on performances this year, hence the "Season of Showstoppers" name, and are adding a new music in April called “Spring Mix,” which features award-winning artists across multiple music genres.

Parton also mentioned that a sequel to "Nine to Five" is in the works after she turned down ideas for another movie for years.

Parton said to expect a big announcement on the expansion later this summer.
