Where are you going?
We took the kids and the dog to Hersey Park a little while back. It was f***ing grueling. The kids had a blast, but man it was exhausting for me and my wife. Very hilly for an amusement park and lacking in accessible bathrooms for a place that caters to families. We did this as a test run for Disney, and after this experience, we're in no hurry to do that.
F* me then lol, that's where we are going.
We actually looked at Hershey, and some other stuff down in that general area. Diggerland, Dreamworks park, I think there were a couple others too. That one is still in the back pocket for another trip though. I'm surprised about the bathroom problem. Disappointed is a more fitting description. I have very fond memories of my Hershey Park family trip when I was a kid, probably around 13 years old.
The lady and I have been to Disney a bunch of times without kids, including together a few years back. We know the lay of the land, how the app works for booking wait times and whatnot, so I think we will have a bit of an advantage in that regard. The concern is the heat and energy levels of the kids. We are planning to get to the parks EARLY, hang as long as we can and survive on fruit/snacks/everything we can hold from the hotel breakfast, then have lunch and a nap back at the hotel. Attack the park again a few hours later and hopefully go to the end.
We did Six Flags and Sesame Street last year when it was 90-95 degrees with not a cloud in the sky, and the kids handled it better than I could. I have faith.
EDIT: I think I saw some pictures of you on some coasters at Hershey. You got some stones my friend. I can't even look at those rides.
