Hershey newbie advice: What do I need to know?

Wagon. Schlepp. Hershey is suffering as well as joy.

 

I had been hearing of Carlisle and Hershey for 25years now from the older generation of car guy's, just seemed like it was across the world from me, now that i am farter along in life i have the freadom and means to go. last year i went for the first time to Hershey, i was in Heaven, i am going again this year, actualy i am leaving Saturday and making a vacation trip with the family on the way, i have a 18 hours trip plus detours one way, see you's there and enjoy.

 

Well Hemi, have a good trip and drive careful. Stop by my spaces and say Hi.

 

The best thing to do is take advantage of someone like Bob (the37kid) who has a space close to Hersheypark Dr. leave your stuff at his space then at the end of the day pull up along the road and toss the stuff over the fence. You really need two people to do this effectively without disrupting traffic. On a side note, most Derry Township Police are dicks. IMO

 

get a sausage sandwich

 

Terrance what do you mean MOST? I had a ticket from them on my window several years ago because I parked along rt.39 ACROSS the bridge. That's MY township and they have no rights over here.

 

Where can I get some sleep after the show, need I head an hour or so out of Hersey to find an open hotel. Are hotels usually all booked up??

 

No, I really think that Hotel/Motel deal is a myth from many years ago, we found one 10-15 minutes from the field a few years ago that was reasonable. When the kids were little we had a room at the Hershey Lodge, it was great, crazy money, but somehow I could afford it back then. Bob

 

I agree, with as many new motels in the area you should be able to find something. There's a brand new one just off rt. 81 I didn't even know was being built until last week google are motels, there everywhere and can't all be full.

 

If you like to gamble a bit, just stop at a hotel and ask for a room early in the day. Most hotels will tell you they are fully booked on a phone call when it is a big weekend. They sometimes keep a few rooms open for drive up people, that keeps customers happy that don't know there is a big event going on. It has worked for me.

 

There are far more hotels west of Hershey than there are east especially around the 322/283/83 interchange google maps will be your friend. I would be really surprised if you couldn't find a room within 10 miles.
