FYI:For those going to Lancaster,I was just by the shul, Degel Israel, and they have a room next to where they daven and that is basically a mini supermarket. They’ve got two fridges and a chest freezer stocked with all kinds of cholov Yisroel milk and dairy products, Yogurt leben, cottage cheese butter Pride of the Farm 1/2 gallon milks, chocolate milk iced coffee etc. and half gallons of just about every flavor of POTF ice cream for a really decent prices, actually pretty close, and in some cases below what I pay in seasons in Lakewood- $7 for ice cream, $1.25 for a pint of iced coffee or choc milk etc., and they have shelves of cookies, snacks, Gefen instant soups etc. and even some franks and buns. If I had known I would have travelled with a much smaller cooler :)

I went and had a great time. The park was closed the whole week though so pretty much everyone staying in the hotel were in sour moods (I stayed in the Courtyard Marriot on Chocolate Ave). Hershey Chocolate World and Hershey Museum were operational, also went to Lancaster and did Amish tour and Krieder farm. Weather was far from ideal but it didn't get in the way of my plans (I did not plan on going to the park).
