Gettysburg

We always stop at Gettysburg PA on the way home from Disney. One year we stayed at the Gettysburg Hotel downtown, but I found that to be expensive, challenged with parking, not welcoming, and in need of refurbishment. All the rest of the time we stay at the Days Inn on York Street. I haven't had luck with most Days Inn, but this hotel is wonderful.

With frequent stops it will take 18 hours to drive from Kissimmee to Gettysburg. We will arrive at Gettysburg late Friday afternoon in time to enjoy dinner and a ghost walk. We will tour and hike the battlefield on Saturday.

Gettysburg has a wonderful visitor center with many things to do. On Sunday we will visit Hershey PA to see the Chocolate World attractions. Chocolate World (not the amusement park) is like a little mini Disney all themed on Hershey Chocolate. Once stuffed with chocolate, we will drive the remaining 6 hours home.

I have the Gettysburg hotel reserved! Now I just need to pick one of the ghost tours (we have our favorites) or perhaps a dinner show.
