    Which Route to take

    If you take the bus that runs directly from HS to CR, then allowing an hour is prob plenty of time. If perchance you happen to see that you just missed the CR bus, but a bus to MK is waiting, that's also a workable option. The walk from the MK bus stop to CR is often shorter than waiting for...

    Do you take new items left outside someone else's room?

    We carry water into the parks, but if it is a summer trip, about 1/3 is gone in 90mi, and the 2nd third is consumed within 3 hours. It would be rather pointless to lug it around all day in 100-degree heat, no?;) (Lunch is often when I get more to drink, then summer usually = taking a break by...

    Universal Epic Universe (South Expansion Complex) - Now Open!

    If anyone plans to buy a wand in Epic, do look out for which type of wand you are buying - gen 1 or gen 2. The new shop sells both, and the gen2 wands are featured as gen 2, but I'd say it is not clearly marked that the gen 1 wands they sell are gen 1. The selection of gen 2 wand styles is...

    Universal Epic Universe (South Expansion Complex) - Now Open!

    Had a chance to visit the new park, and I really enjoyed it! I'd say the park has room to improve, especially where storms are concerned, but overall I really enjoyed it. I should add, I planned two days, but on what was supposed to be day one, I was not able to go. I was able to get my...

    Do you take new items left outside someone else's room?

    agree there, that's why I was careful to specify that I offer the items directly to another adult. My reply was not quite the question you asked, but I thought I should share since so many posters said they wouldn't think of offering food or drinks to strangers.

    Cycling / biker shorts for men

    I dunno, I've seen plenty of women and children wearing bike shorts in the Orlando theme parks, but they tend to be the slightly loose-fitting ones. I've also seen plenty of women/girls wearing other workout clothing, including onesies (the kind that are a top+shorts all in one) and tennis...

    Parks Audio Collectors

    What a great thread! I only have a few tracks, but I enjoy the ones I have. Anyone collect tracks from Universal?

    Do you take new items left outside someone else's room?

    The minority here, yes, but this is a small sample size. Post-covid, the enthusiasm of strangers has slightly surprised me, but I also find it reassuring. Over the course of many trips to WDW, I have had a number of strangers offer small kindnesses. Random kindnesses used to be called paying...

    Do you take new items left outside someone else's room?

    Then see my post. though I don't usually give things away at the hotel room. One time, a long time ago, the value resorts didn't have coffee makers, so I bought a $10 Mr. Coffee to use at Pop. It had a glass carafe, so I decided to offer it to the hotel staff instead of trying to bring it...

    Do you take new items left outside someone else's room?

    Huh. I have never seen stuff left outside a room, but many times I have offered my extras to strangers when checking out. About 60% of the time, the first person I ask is happy to have the food/drinks, usually drinks. If the first person doesn't want it, then someone nearby overhears me...

    GOING, GOING, GONE! :-(

    Ah, that's it! After making a park reservation I'm offered more variety.

    GOING, GOING, GONE! :-(

    The year I recall crowds being the most miserable was 2006, especially AK. It was a bit of an anomaly though, because the next year wasn't as bad. I was in the 2019 crowd that opened Galaxy's Edge (plus the AP preview 2? days before the official opening.)Galaxy's Edge and all of HS, was...

    Universal's food is still pretty bad

    The mango popsicle at the Minions Freeze stand, or if you don't like mango try the lemon/mint! (The ones that are themed look cute, but don't taste as good as the plain ones.)

    Universal's food is still pretty bad

    We also somewhat recently had a very good meal at Confisco. I ate there about 5 years ago, and the food then was not very good. On my more recent trip, it was a rainy night, and the place was very quiet. I wasn't sure about staying, but the food and service were excellent! I had the penne...

    Universal's food is still pretty bad

    First time we ate at Minions, when it was new, we thought food was excellent. On our 2nd trip, it wasn't quite as good, but still decent. One thing we didn't like the 2nd time was the purple Minion drink. Looks cute, but the purple fake whipped cream on the top is gross. the juice under it...

    Lightning Lane Park Changes (& the problems toddlers bring?)

    If FoP is on your to-do list, then it probably makes sense to buy the FoP LL in AK and skip the LLMP for AK. (Depending on the price that day.)

    Long term effects of WDC decision making, failure to innovate, and price gouging has caught up with WDW

    It is. IMO, it comes down to a few factors. 1. As Disney raised prices, others copied. There has also been industry-wide adoption of monetizing wait times. People want to be able to buy a park ticket and go on attractions for the included price with moderate waits. FYI, I just recently went...

    Lightning Lane Park Changes (& the problems toddlers bring?)

    It might also be a good call to only buy the ILL's, or some ILL's. I've done the parks - recently - with a combo of buying and not buying the LLMP. For MK it is pretty helpful to have it. But we covered a lot of Epcot easily without it, and had minimal waits. We lucked out at rope drop and...

    Lightning Lane Park Changes (& the problems toddlers bring?)

    You can easily skip buying the multi-pass some days. It is most useful in MK and HS. For AK and Epcot, you really don't need it, especially if you plan to skip Remy, Frozen, or Test Track in Epcot. For AK, there are only 4 rides worthy of a pass: Dino, Na'vi, Safari, and Everest. Guardians...

    Lightning Lane Park Changes (& the problems toddlers bring?)

    I'm not sure I can quite convey what you are asking, but I'll try. 1. In part, it depends how busy the parks will be on the days you plan to visit. 2. Yes, you sorta do have to decide in advance if you want to book LL- either the multipass or the single attraction ones, because they sell...
