What Type of Vacation for your Family State Park or Theme Park

Every year families around the country try to find the right place for your family vacations

If you are into rides and room service a Theme Park Vacation is the way to go. If you are into fishing boating and campfires a stay at a State Park Cottage or Cabin is the thing to do.

Here are some of the Costs examples I could find



May 22, 2017 · Disney World starts at $99 for a 1-day value ticket to the Magic Kingdom. These tickets are available on select days while regular tickets are $107 a person. On average, you can expect to spend about $91 on a one-day theme park ticket for an adult this summer. Ay yi yi.

 For a family of 4 staying 5 days the cost of the Park would be $91 per person per day or $1820

The cost of food for the day is $45 per person per day or $900

The cost of a hotel off site would be $644.70 for one room or $1289.40 for two rooms

Hotels: average daily rate US 2019 | Statistic



The average daily rate (ADR) of hotels in the United States was 128.94 U.S. dollars as of February 2019. This figure was over 2 dollars higher than the ADR in the U.S. at the same time last year.



New High-End Cottages at Allegany State Park ...



Reservations will be handled through the state park rental offices or online at www.newyorkparks.reserveamerica.com. They can be booked up to nine months in advance and cost $695 a week, or $173.75 for a night.



Costs for 7 days at a State Park Cottage and these are high end with all comforts of home

$695 for a week

Cost of Food would be $350- for week,

Cost of other items $200 (Charcoal, renting canoe, etc.)

Total Costs

Theme Park 5 day vacation -$3364,70 with one room Cost Per Day $672.94

Is this a coincidence?

 Here we go again The Republicans won control of the House this past week. So what is the first press conference they do , they announce two investigations into Hunter Biden Joe Biden and the Biden Family. Now I don’t t disagree that these things need investigation but they didn’t need to announce until they actually had taken over. What did an announcement now do but just make them feel good about themselves. So then Trump announces he is running in 2024. Immediately Biden’s DOJ calls for a special counsel which if they had anything they would have done this long ago. So what was this just another PR ploy to keep the media attacking Trump. No legitimate reason for this and they didn’t even try to deny this.  So what are we as citizens to do ? Stop watching all the talking heads and demand answers to specific questions . Stop letting the mainstream media block out hours of programs for hearings that have no real impact other than politics. And let’s hold the party that is power to make

McDowell Memo: Apathy 11-14-22

 Today we still do not have a resolution to the control of the House of Representatives. Why we all ask America has never had a worse 2 years by any administration. Could it be no one cares or could it be the media makes us think that it is not fixable. We know longer think of America as a blessed by God endeavor but rather a failed social experiment. Everyday or kids are taught that the history we were taught is a lie , when in fact it is like all history the version the winner put forth. But they don’t teach that the version of the losers are not always accurate For instance , when we here about slavery which was terrible we never hear that almost every slave was originally captured into slavery by other African tribes or that Anerrics outlawed slave ships coming a decade before most of the rest of the world but did not outlaw keeping slaves much to our mistake.  So how do we get back to an America we can be proud of?  First we need to agree that history should be taught with both th

The McDowell Memo: Emergency Services dropping out of our ability to sustain

Emergency Services dropping out of our ability to sustain  As many of you know for the last 10 years I have railed against government imposing training standards and equipment standards on small and rural Fire Depts and Emergency / Ambulance Services. We now know see the impact of those increasingly restrictive regulations on local communities in Upstate New York. Many small areas have stopped providing EMS and the slack has had to be taken up by adjoining communities. In some cases the communities have gone to charging which if the medical insurance industry would lower the co pays to a reasonable amount might be somewhat sustainable. But, they haven't and I assume won't unless the state forces them to. On average the co pay is about $350 for basic and $500+ for Advanced care needs. If you are the poor senior citizen living on Social Security in a rural area this could mean the difference between paying the bill and eating for the month.  Fire companys are not excluded fr
