Any Hershey Park goers? And Crayola PA? Booked an impromptu trip with my two DS's for next week! Staying at a Hilton nearby

Crayola is not that great. It's not the factory but an Experience- fine for younger kids. How old. I think Turkey Hill Experience is better (and closer to Hershey) - also not the factory but fun experience. Unlimited ice cream and tea!
8:56pm on 4/6/26 by
I love both crayola is for kids 7 and younger. Hershey is for everyone

All you can eat crayons? Yes, please!

We arrive at 7:45am on our check in day. Has anyone done the water park day on check in? We've never been to either water park. This will be July. Will it be too crowded to be enjoyable? Any tips are appreciated!!
10:22am on 4/6/26 by
I've gone to the water park on my check in day several times. I think it's a great way to spend the day when the weather is hot!! I've gone to both parks, I like TL just slightly more.

My plan in June
11:11pm on 4/6/26 by
Our room is never ready before we go to the water park, so we usually change in the pool house at the resort, or gym locker rooms (if there is one). I prefer this to the changing rooms at the water parks.

I booked a bounceback for December - can I modify this online and keep the discount? I don't see a modify button unless I'm missing it.
8:59pm on 4/6/26 by
Are you looking on a desktop or mobile app? Only shows as modifiable on the desktop for me, and doesn't work consistently (clear your cache!)
9:03pm on 4/6/26 by
There's a modify button, but I've never been able to successfully modify a BB online. Always have to call. You can check for availability and such in the steps before you make a change, though.
9:08pm on 4/6/26 by
You have to call. I was able to modify with a phone call
11:15pm on 4/6/26 by
Agree to call. I get all the way to the Checkout button and I get excited, but it never takes. It just sends me back to the same checkout page over and over. Sigh.

It's time for another Shenkel list! DH and I were there 3/22-28 and here are the things we did that were "firsts" this time. 1)staying at Saratoga Springs, which was lovely. We were in the Congress Park section, so we walked to DS several times.
4:43pm on 4/6/26 by
Sounds like a great trip!
7:26pm on 4/6/26 by
Great list!
8:29pm on 4/6/26 by
Love your list. Finally someone else who had a positive Turf Club experience. My family enjoyed it too.

For our trip in May/June, we have two rooms at FQ from 5/26 to 6/1. Then we have a reservation for one room in the same room category at FQ for 6/1 to 6/4. I'm going to do a room request for the first portion, both rooms. (Continued)
3:42pm on 4/6/26 by
@utang,did you look at the new requests? I think you can put it all on one if you want. it might help them keep it connected? Do you think it will be too complicated for the assigners and easier if separate?
8:39pm on 4/6/26 by
@PT, I was thinking to put the two rooms at the first part of the stay together, but to separate the one for the second half. But I need to explore the request form and see what's doable there.
8:56pm on 4/6/26 by
I just did this at BWV & BCV. For BWV,I called & asked that they put in the request to stay in the same room & I requested a room number at the same time.Both were honored.At BCV,when I checked in, they said they already put the request in auautomatically

Sorry to cross lanes, but any ideas for how I could get a list or map of gender-neutral restrooms at Universal (UO, IoA, and Epic)? I believe there are some, and I can see a map of generic RR, but I don't see details. I appreciate it!
10:05pm on 4/6/26 by
In the app you can go to the maps, click "Guest Amenities" in the drop-down menu, then "Restroom - Family." I think all the gender-neutral or single-stall restrooms at UOR are labeled as Family Restrooms, but someone else may know more.

"What's cookin'?" I'm preparing leftover ham with some Haluski, I haven't made that in such a long time. Store bought chocolate chip cookies for dessert tonight. What will grace your dinner table tonight?
5:50pm on 4/6/26 by
Grilled chicken, mashed potatoes, beans and corn. Lemon poppyseed muffins or Easter candy for dessert.
7:07pm on 4/6/26 by
Turkey breast, mashed potatoes, peas and cranberry sauce. Homemade sourdough bread, not my home, yasso bars for dessert.
7:09pm on 4/6/26 by
Had to feo off my car for service so DH and I had a quick steak dinner at a local chain.
10:46pm on 4/6/26 by
Does anyone remember when you booked a WDW trip circa 2009 or so, that you could order customized maps of each park? Your order also included a "Family Guide" map that included all of the WDW property. I've been holding on to ours and guess what I did?
1:08pm on 4/6/26 by
I should also mention that the opposite side of the Magic Kingdom map is Epcot and the reverse of Hollywood Studios is Animal Kingdom.
1:50pm on 4/6/26 by
So cool! Thanks for sharing!
7:32pm on 4/6/26 by
Yes! I'm pretty sure I still have ours as well in my Disney drawer. :) Love your idea!
10:45pm on 4/6/26 by
5 adults going, 2 rooms, 4 nights. If I get DP for room with 3 adults, can we use 5 credits at Chef Mickeys, 5 at Crystal Palace, then 2 for me and DH someplace for a date night? Only planning those three sit downs. Would use the QS/snacks other days
7:01pm on 4/6/26 by
Sounds logical but difficult to split up the costs per person afterwards!
9:09pm on 4/6/26 by
I get what you're asking. Years ago you were able to use them for anyone, but I think they've changed that and you're only allowed to use as many credits as there are people in your room.
9:20pm on 4/6/26 by
I haven't tried it in a while, so I don't know how well this is actually enforced
9:24pm on 4/6/26 by
I have heard podcast trip reports in past year where people have had success doing this but it might be dependent on cast members. Curious if any liners have had experience!
10:20pm on 4/6/26 by
Hi Liners! When decreasing an ADR party at checkin, does it make a difference if it's a prix fixe meal? Like at space 220? Making sure friends don't get charged for 5 if only 3 show up. And I know someone here can confirm. :)
9:41pm on 4/6/26 by
No, as long as one guest shows up, you won't be charged. That's the case even for pre-paid meals, where they'll refund you if you end up with fewer guests.
9:53pm on 4/6/26 by
Thanks for confirming that @utang!
