    Smoking areas GONE starting may 1st Pinned so people can still see the announcement.

    I am a light smoker. I think I'm a pretty considerate smoker. If there are designated areas, I smoke there. If there are not, I deal with it and wait. When I'm at the parks, I'll usually stop for a smoke break maybe two or three times during a day at a park. Last year, I accidentally lit up in...

    Mission Space: Green worth the trouble?

    The orange side was so bad for me that I never ventured to the green side. The spinning doesn't really feel like spinning, as you are in a closed capsule. It gives an effect of increased pressure, rather than spinning. Do you know that carnival ride that spins and the force holds you against the...

    Fuel rods, any good? Cost?

    You can buy it online for $20.00 + $5.00 shipping, or purchase it at WDW for $30.00. It is a convenient tool, as you can swap it out in the parks. Here is my problem with it: it is only 2400 mAh (I've heard that number is actually lower, but we'll go with this.) Depending on the type of phone...

    Daily food budget?

    I usually budget $100 per adult per day. That's on the high end for me because I'm not a big eater and I don't drink alcohol much. The last time I went, the person I was with exceeded this, but he eats significantly more and was drinking with every meal. We usually do 1 QS and 1 TS per day, plus...

    Poll: eBay resellers -- entrepreneurs or scoundrels?

    I had to go with 'other.' I collect comic books, particularly books with very limited variant covers by a particular artist. Sometimes, I don't get a chance to scoop them up from the store that sells them because someone has bought a large quantity of them. When they are a new product, I get a...

    Bucket List

    Go on a trip with no plans. No ADRs, no FP+, no planning which parks on which days. Just the necessities like resort and park tickets. I love the planning stage, but I hate the stress of keeping a tight schedule. I've yet to do it because I worry way too much about not getting the most out of my...

    thoughts on Homecomin'?

    I really enjoyed my meal there. The atmosphere was pleasant and the food was excellent. My DS8 still talks about it. I had the fried chicken and Mac n cheese. The chicken was great, but the Mac n cheese was the best I've ever had. The portion sizes are massive. I brought over half of my meal...

    Do you think you would be a Disney fan if your first time was recently?

    My first visit was in 2005, so definitely more than 10 years ago, but still in the proximity. I was an adult the first time I went, but I had begged my parents to take me as a kid. It was a dream for me. I went there with high expectations and was not at all disappointed. Each visit since has...

    For the drivers...best GPS app?

    Waze was great on my last trip. We were due to hit Atlanta at like 5pm and it got us through relatively painlessly. I really appreciate that it tells me where the police have been spotted. Not that I would ever speed or anything like that.

    Moderate Hotel Help?

    FQ is my absolute favorite, but Riverside is a close second. They both have the boat to DS. I like the smaller size of FQ, especially at night. I enjoy late night walks, and uh I kind of got lost at Riverside one night. I prefer the single bus stop at FQ, although it really didn't make a huge...

    Best Moderate Hotel for Bus Transportation

    I had the best luck with French Quarter.

    Great steak at WDW

    I haven't had the steak, but Ale and Compass at the Yacht Club is exceptional for one credit. It's a casual table service, so it would be fine for kids. My DS8 enjoyed it. The desserts are amazing.

    Best Park in WDW (not favorite)

    I chose AK, even though it's probably my least favorite park (by a very small margin.) Overall, it's the most immersive and consistent with its theme. I really appreciate how easy it is to navigate, it has a nice flow to it. There are good dining options for just about anyone, both TS and QS...

    Marvel at WDW

    From my perspective, it makes little to no sense for Universal to remain in this contract. They are stuck with stale material that doesn't draw in the fans. The MCU has significantly more mass appeal than anything else Marvel is doing. Infinity War has made over $2 billion. That money is not...

    Marvel at WDW

    Thank you for all of this. I am admittedly not well-versed in the specifics of the contract, so I was hoping you could clarify a couple items that put up a red flag for me. 1. Captain Marvel, Dr. Strange, Drax, and some of the Defenders could easily be considered part of the Avengers "family,"...
