Do you know how long this promo is going for?

My bro, sis in law, my Dh, and I are going to be out in PA June 28-July 6 and would like to visit Hershey Park again...

Thanks. We're heading down to PA in a couple of weeks, and this will save us a bundle for the 8 of us!

We are going in June and can get tickets through MIL's union for 50/2 day I think this is the best deal for us. So if I reading correctly I can get in 2 1/2 hours early the night before I plan to go all day. Will I need 2 days plus the night hours to see the park or is that too much?

Also does anyone know if the meal plans on the hershey web site are a good deal? I was considering this one:
New for 2010! Duo Meal Deals
Regular: $28.95 (ages 9+) Enjoy two combo meals, two snacks and a refillable souvenir cup.
Junior: $12.95 (ages 3 - 8) Enjoy two combo meals with a small soda and one snack (souvenir cup not included).

Finally how much is parking.
Thanks!

All depends on what you want to ride, how often, and the crowds on your given days. I am an Season Pass holder. There are days when there is no line for the coasters, other days it is a 2 hour wait. Remember, no FastPass here! So, if you are coming on June 1 when the schools are still in session you'll be fine for a day plus 2 hours. If you are coming in late June or July when the tourists are out, it is a whole different ball game. The new water area can swallow a good 1/2 day at least, if you like water slides and such. Interested in Zoo America? It is attached and inclded with your ticket. That is another 2 hours or so. Not a lot of shows to take time, unless you are there on a day when the traveling show is of your interest. For instance, the Ace of Cakes guy is there Sat. Jourdin Sparks was there last week. (included with admission). Hitting Hershey Choc World as well (free, mostly sales area with one educational ride)? So, it really all depends. The park is spread out a good bit so just walking swallows time. I go about 1 time per week, but I am with a 2 year old so I am not waiting for Great Bear or Wild Cat.

Oh, I'd skip the meal deals. Food is not Diz quality. Just eat on the cheap, enough to get by. It won't be worth the money no matter what. Chocolate is always a meal option, right?

I don't pay to park as a AP holder, so I can't tell you exact amount. I am thinking it is $10??

Thank you! Can't wait to go again! And it's any Giant store right? I got mine at the Manchester Giant last time, I believe that's what it's called...

Okay I am shaky on the details...since I knew I would not be using the coupons--however I was in Philadelphia last week. I purchased soda at both McDonald's and Wendy's while walking the city and both had coupons on the counter for discounts to Hershey and Sesame Place (separate coupons).

Anyone in Philadelphia that could fill in the details for the potential travelers?

BTW--The Philadelphia Museum of Art is awesome!

Not sure what those are for, but probably the standard coupon discount ...

At Subway locations in South-Central PA, coupons are for $14 off gate price in May, $12 off in June, $10 off in July, $8 off in Aug. Also has $2 off Dutch Wonderland (anytime) and $1 off the 3d Really Big Show. No free parking with this, so Giant is teh better bet right now.

Yes, there is a Giant in Manchester, PA for the previous poster. It has moved across the street from its previous location from last year, but still there. Certainly not the closest Giant to Hershey and not close to any major hotels or attractions, so not sure why you used that one of all of them .. but it works!! Any Giant PA is good, www.giantpa.com and hit the store locator. There are 26 Giant PA locations within 20 miles of Hershey,PA. So, you can easily get to one no matter with direction you are driving in.

I'm going to be visiting family in Emigsville, and I knew there was a Giant about 5-8 minutes from her house, which is the Manchester one. thanks for all the great info!
