So, I got Lisa (and her bosses) approval to do a full month vacation in June, flying into Cleveland on the 1st, and returning June 30th.
Flight was just $22, as we are using United Miles.
Rental Car is $1,100 from Budget using Costco, plus gas and Tolls.
The Hotels average about $100 per night plus taxes.
Highlights include...
The Rock and Roll Museum
5 nights at Cedar Point including Coastermania. Our SP's include food and beverage (2 meals a day).
6 nights at Kings Island, same SP deal
Ark Encounter
Mammoth Cave National Park
Idlewild - Free admission using the Castle Park Platinum Pass, good at al US Palace Entertainment parks.
Unlock a year of fun with our Annual Passes. Enjoy unlimited visits, special perks, and a year filled with excitement at Castle Park.

KennyKon (Palace Entertainment SP)
CoasterCon which includes
HersheyPark
Dutch Wonderland (Palace SP)
Dorney Park (Cedar Fair SP includes Food and Drink)
Knoebles
Then a Post-Con event at Six Flags Great Adventure (SP includes Food and Drink)
And on the way back to Cleveland, Leap the Dips (oldest Roller Coaster in the USA) at Lakemont Park, plus DelGrosso's (Altoona, PA)
So we have a budget of $200 on average for both of us, including hotels, meals, admission and souvenirs. That is $7,000 overall, but I am planning an extra $1,000 for a couple of special things, or to cover overages.
I bought a brick in 2019 in celebration of Cedar Point's 150th. Lisa has no idea that I did it. I have the mini brick hidden in my office. But I plan to let her find it at the park.
We are row 78 of Section 5 (the Big Circle. so just above the large CP 150th Square).
