Back to the Hershey Park trip report....
Day 3- Monday June 11- Went to Hershey Park!
Bought 2-day flex tickets. Unfortunately, we didn't pass by a Giant food store on our way into Hershey to get the discounted tickets, so we just bought the 2 day flex tickets at the park itself for the 4 of us. Prices for the the tix aren't that bad for the 2-day. Today we did the rides only. We went back on Wed to to the Boardwalk waterpark area. Boardwalk I'll talk about later. DD and DS got measured by those columns where it is twizzlers Hershey kisses, etc. at the front of the park. They got 2 pieces of chocolates for that each. Yum!! I think DD got measured as a Hershey bar and DS got measured as a Twizzler. Bubba's mom and tlinus should already know about those candy measurements
Anyways, I did get a disability pass for the kids at Guest services, since both my kids are ADHD and DS with his mild autism. They both got their hand stamped with VIP on them- they felt special
Got the disability booklet, where we can enter the rides by the exit.
I didn't realize how hilly Hershey Park is, going up and down alll the time. Didn't do that great with my feet, but I survived. I knew HP was going to be a little hilly, but I didn't realize the whole park was hilly.
Anyways, as of rides, my DD gets so excited and crazy, she drags my DH here and there for what ride she wants to go on next. I don't even bother planning out what ride to go when or where b/c DD just drags us where she wants to go
She is always like this at amusement parks. We did do the carousel first. Then the swings. Then the kids wanted to do the Comet- the wooden rollercoaster. I did use the disability pass on that ride. Went thru the exit. Didn't realize they give a time to come back to the ride, like a half hour later. Almost works like a fast pass in that respect. DD wasn't happy and had a meltdown that we had to come back to the Comet in a half hour 
We took the kids to the swings again to waste time while waiting for our time at the Comet. Then finally got on the Comet The ride employees gave us a choice of which car on hte coaster we wanted to sit. I thought that was cool 
We picked the front car. Got everyone buckled on hte ride. I unfortunately couldn't ride the coaster. The bar wouldn't lock for me. I am pooh sized, esp my bottom half of me. My bad. The employees did their best to get the bar locked, but just didn't work. I told them thanks and I got off the ride. I had DH sit with my DD, as she is smaller in size. DS sat by himself. It worked out fine for them. I waited for them at the exit of the ride. When their ride finished, I was so afraid the other people on the ride were going to give me dirty looks since I had delayed the ride, but nobody did 
.
We rode the Skyview(cable cars) next.After that, we ate lunch at Famiglia pizza- never ate New York style pizza before- always Chicago pizza
It was pretty good. Never saw thinly sliced sausage before on pizza. DH and I liked it. The kids didn't like the taste of the thinly sliced sausage on hte pizza. Oh well.
After lunch, did the train ride. Walked towards the back of the park where the Boardwalk area is. Walked around there. Went on the ferris wheel and those slides in the Midway America area is. The slides that you sit on a potato
sack to go down the slide. Went by the tent area at Midway America. We had just missed the last dance show, which was at 2:30 pm. Went back towards the middle of the park and went on the monorail ride and the Reeses Extreme ride. Also did hte kiddie rides- balloon ride. DH and I were getting tired and DD didn't want to stay much longer,as it was hot and 85 out. We left around 5 pm to go back home to the hotel. Cleaned up a little and went out to dinner at Fuddruckers. Some balloon lady was at Fudruckers, so she made the kids balloon characters. End of day 3
