I know this is a Dinsey Meets Thread but I wasn't sure where else I should post. Feel free to move to a more appropriate place if need be.


Where: Hershey Park, Hershey PA (http://www.hersheypark.com/index.php)
When: July 6th, 2009

I'm No Prince, Tigger Pigglet and I found we all live some what close to Hershey park and since we won't all be at WDW at the same time we thought this would be the next best thing.

We wanted to put this out to anyone else who might like to come. :)

This is the Monday right after the 4th so I think crowds will be down somewhat. Should be a good time.

I know Giant Food Stores has discount coupons. There is one right near the park, 1250 COCOA AVENUE , HERSHEY , PA 17033. I have to call to see how much the discount is, but from what I remember it's like $11 off per adult and like $1 per child. If anyone knows of a better discount, please share:)

Also, this thread is not showing up on "new threads" on the home page. It does show up under "Today's Posts" though.

Darn I could have done this too but my family and I will be at Lake George. To far to drive from there.

I don't think a drive from Lake George is too far at all;)

Ok so Pioneer Frontier seems like the place. How about by the Subway? I think that would be a good place as it's hard to miss a Subway @ Hershey, LOL.

I think here at 1pm

Just wanted to post that it was great to meet some fellow EoEers. I think someone posted after a WDW meet that it's great to put faces with names.

Yesterday was fun. I even rode storm runner again with my son, LOL. I think I screamed more that time - I knew what was coming I guess, LOL. Finally at the end of the day DD rode the Super-duper-looper!!! WOO HOO.

We left about 8-ish and arrived home about 10:45 - we stopped briefly to get gas and some food. It was a very quiet ride home, LOL. I think everyone crashed for at least part of the ride home, well except for me- I was driving, LOL.

Prince suggested maybe doing another meet at Hershey in the fall. When they do their halloween or maybe Christmas stuff.

Yup it was a great meet . Everyone was so nice and it is great to put faces with who we Chat with on almost a nightly basis. So far in all my Meets I have not ran across any Ogers or Trolls.

We left not long after M2M and stopped at Crackerbarrle ( LoL) . I did see TP again but sitting on the bench as we went into Fahrenheit for 1 last ride ,Whats up with that should have been in line.

Yea I think a Fall/ Winter EoE meet would be great . We go anyhow and really enjoy it at that time.

I had a great time meeting everyone too. We stayed overnight, so we left the park at about 9:30/9:45. We ran into Grumpylover later on and she got to meet my kids. My older one was relieved she was nice, she was a little worried about me meeting people on the internet, lol.

As far as why I was sitting on the bench and not in line for Fahrenheit, they said it was a 40 minute wait and I honestly didn't want to wait. My kids went on and I was walking around and got myself some ice cream, much more fun than standing in line for 40 minutes. Although, I admit I regretted it when they came off and said how much fun it was. I guess I'll have to do that one next time.

By the way, Grumpylover, I noticed someone was missing from the pics you posted. Hmmmm, I wonder who that was.

Oh I look so lovely, hair pulled back, sweaty and loads of those stupid game stuff animals that the kids HAD to have and are now just sitting on my living room couch! See DH wasn't posing and he looks better than me!

I meant to say in my post that Grumpylover was the official EOE meet photographer!

I didn't get on Fahrenheit either. We asked 2 different times what the wait was and it was around 30 minutes both times......while DS and I would have waited, we needed to let dd do some riding instead of waiting for all of us.

Right as we were leaving my boys rode the scrambler right at the front of the park. Some girl yelled about the girl she was with being single to my older DS, LOL.:icon_wow:


BTW, that is a great shot of the park!!! Very nice!
