I've been in that dead time between excitement from booking and the boring wait but it's finally almost time for me to make some ADRs!

I stayed at AoA in a Little Mermaid room last October and I'm staying at Pop in a preferred room this August. I'm glad I stayed at AoA, the outside theming is so much more Disney to me, but even as an avid runner, at the end of the day the walk back to the room felt long. Plus, my preferred room...

Only 79 more days!

I like my Apple Watch, but I primarily use it because I'm a runner to track my runs. The thing is... Macs, iPads, iPhones can all be used passively, sitting on the couch, at the DMV, on the toilet.... AR/VR is active and requires engagement. If it's anything like VR for me, it's a shiny new toy...

I just dunno why I'd spend $3500 for AR, which I just don't understand the appeal of, when I could alternate my reality with legal thc (if that were my thing) for much, much less.

I played it. It was fun for a couple days. Then I forgot about it.

I dunno... They've been pushing VR for nearly a decade now and even with $300 headsets, growth has still been pretty glacial. And Google Glass failed. Maybe Apple has the magic to make people finally consider it, but $3500?!?!?!? You can sit on your couch and use your Mac or iPad, but AR/VR...

Try Google Maps VR, you can walk through all the Disney Parks. No ride content, just walkways and such, but during the pandemic it was nice to "walk" through the parks. Google Maps VR was probably my most used VR app after Half-Life: Alyx and Lone Echo I and II, and it's free!

I voted monorail just because it still seems like magic to me. I remember riding it through the Contemporary when I was a kid in 1986, I think, and thinking it was the neatest thing ever but as much as I've wanted to stay at a monorail resort, I've just never been able to get myself to pull the...

I usually don't do shows, but I went with my mom last year and tried to factor in some sitting time since she's 70 and we went to a lot of shows I hadn't seen before. FotLK is really fun! And so are the Nemo and Frozen shows. It's a side of the park experience I never really paid attention to...

Well, I guess I'm weird, because I'm an adult without children that likes going to WDW alone and I like meeting characters.

While I fully recognize that the character meet & greets are designed for children, I, as an adult, usually solo, traveler, enjoy them as well. (See: my profile picture.) Maybe especially as a solo traveler, having pictures from meet & greets are inexpensive souvenirs since I always get the...

One, I've never stayed in a hotel with a microwave. Refrigerator, yeah, I can't think of a room without one, but never had a room with a microwave so I wouldn't miss it if it's not there. And also, if nobody has noticed these things, how is it driving down attendance? (And they must have made...

I got a little keychain that holds a reusable, collapsible silicone straw. I just attach it to my backpack and it's there for me all day. Lifesaver because yes, paper straws suck, but plastic straws are just so incredibly wasteful and of course in AK, dangerous.

Down to double digits, 99 days!

I was a huge Star Wars fan as a kid, saw the original trilogy in the theaters. And I think making an immersive experience like this was pretty gutsy, it really could have been something, but even at the height of my Star Wars love, damn, I'd have a hard time trying to justify that price for 2...

100 days! I couldn't decide between a Disney 100 logo and something from around the house, so I did both!

Swiss Family Treehouse?

Kids and adults love dinosaurs. Dinosaurs are awesome! And you can't see them in Epcot anymore, so why not just refurb these darn dinosaurs and either plus it up or leave it as is?

I'm sorry, I shouldn't have taken a cheap shot at you, I apologize. It can be hard to read intent online and even if it was meant the way I took it, I should have been more charitable. And honestly, I've never PERSONALLY run into any issues with drunk guests. I live too far away to go regularly...
