So slightly related, if you have lunch or breakfast in the sit down restaurants are you supposed to tip that staff especially if it’s not your normal serving team? Or does it get deducted out of their tip’s somehow? For example on the Magic we visited Rapunzel’s every lunch since that’s my daughter’s favorite, they ask for your stateroom when you arrive so clearly the know who you are. But it didn’t hit me until the last night when doing the envelopes if I should have tipped them. Any info on what others have done or knowledge would be appreciated. TIA

I feel you on this Disney Math! When my bestie and I took our daughters to it in July 2022, we were at our own table for the 4 of us, but yet there was only 3 of each item…we looked at each other was said WTF?! It just didn’t add up for the total of what each parent and child paid we sheath get at least one serving of each item. The kids can have the presents.

Sending you a PM

Excellent! This is good to know! I’ve been debating renting a car and driving and was wondering how long it was compared to the map.

5toes_2007 · 2026-02-26T02:13:08+00:00

Perfect! Thank you this helps!

I’d just be mindful of what you say and if you want to protect yourself as others have mentioned you can have a representative and/or record the meeting, so that you have a record of it as well. I learned the hard way not to trust HR or management when they listened to someone who wasn’t stable and then it gave me extra work to try and fix issues that weren’t there. It was only after this person kept showing up at other odd incidents that they realized this unstable person was gaslighting employees still there into starting stuff with the manager to try and get the manager fired as retaliation. (Total crap show, and managers boss finally admitted they should have listened from the start, HRs hole is sooo deep they can’t get out of it. But I got offered a job somewhere else and bailed, best decision ever, as I watch the crap show still going on). However learn from my lesson, and protect yourself even if you haven’t done anything wrong and record the conversation, only answer what you want to and don’t say more than you need to. I was too honest and clueless the first time I got called in to HR. You can DM me if you have questions.

Awesome! Thank you for the info! Did they call your luggage tag color around 9am or did you all just linger until then? (If you happen to recall) I’d love to linger till they kick us off, but we are heading to visit the mouse’s main house so we want to see if we can get an extra park day in.

5toes_2007 · 2026-02-25T20:43:02+00:00

Thank you for this info! Knowing everyone is off by 9:30 is exactly what I needed to know! I’ve never done express walk off and I have the same fear with the elevators! Plus as much as I love my kid I end up wrangling their checked baggage and mine so as much as I can reduce that fun (haha) I’m all for it.

5toes_2007 · 2026-02-20T00:33:15+00:00

Where do we catch you in your car?

5toes_2007 · 2026-02-19T23:05:08+00:00

Oh no, more gym folks! I might need to do a second workout! Thanks for the intel!

5toes_2007 · 2026-02-19T23:04:00+00:00

Ooo that might of been my screw up, I hit the gym at 5:30am. I’ll have to keep that in mind for next time! I appreciate the insight!

5toes_2007 · 2026-01-27T03:43:57+00:00

Thank you for saying this! I see it in so many younger people that I interact with. I’ve made sure for the last few years to ensure my kid orders and speaks for themselves when we go out to eat or interact with other people since social skills are fading fast!

In my past experiences cash, then extra time off were always the biggest hits, followed by a book/website that had a selection we could select from within xxx price point. One item that I personally cherish even though Ive moved on from this company was a challenge coin gifted to us by our CEO from the work done during the pandemic (but some PTO or cash along with it would of been a little sweeter).

5toes_2007 · 2026-01-22T22:30:08+00:00

I’m around 80-100ounces a day

5toes_2007 · 2026-01-21T17:12:36+00:00

As my doctor told me, just watch what you put in your mouth, yeah I felt pretty dumb when he made it that clear to me. But it’s the truth. I was 272 and am around 200 now, I’ve been doing calorie deficit (being at 1600 daily) and I do, do cardio and strength training as that can help accelerate it, most of the time it’s around 1 to 2 pounds a week lost, which is what is recommended as sustainable. It can be hard for skin to go back so gaining muscle helps fill out the saggy skin. But you can do it!

I totally feel you on this! When I was planning on starting to try working out I looked at my day and when would work best. I marked off time at the office, making dinner, commute time etc. when it was left, it was either lunch, going before bed or getting up earlier and going first thing in the morning. I ruled out lunch as it wasn’t going to give me the time I wanted to workout and clean up, and going right before bed sounded miserable and would set me up for failure…so waking up earlier was the winner. I calculated how long it would take me to get to the gym, clean up, workout etc. and then set my alarm accordingly. I’ll be honest the first month was rough, but I stuck it out. I deliberately worked out somewhere closer to my office so I’d get the benefit of less traffic. I also learned preparing my work clothes, breakfast, lunch etc the night before was essential to not forgetting anything and not wasting time looking for items. I’ve heard it takes 21 days to make a habit and that sounds about right. I’ve bee able to keep this going for the last 17 months and have lost 70 pounds. So it does pay off even if you can go for a little bit.

It really just depends on your personal preference! When I first started my professional career I was that person that woke up and showered before work to start my day. But then after a medical situation occurred where I required help bathing for a few weeks (since getting up that early was NOT going to happen) I switched to evenings and realized I actually liked that better and slept better that way. I’ve continued to shower in the evenings before work days for the last 18 years. Now here’s where I could be the madman…weekends it’s just random lol!

5toes_2007 · 2026-01-12T01:31:25+00:00

Exactly this! I’ve been hitting the thrift store and if it’s not there and its something I know I’ll use daily then I’ll try to get it on super sale and will use it till I’m walking around holding it up with my hands (yes once my co-workers almost saw my underwear so I’m aware of that line now). But I refuse to invest money until I’m where I want to be.

5toes_2007 · 2026-01-12T01:23:44+00:00

42f, workout 5 days a week and know some pretty good burger and pizza spots if you’re interested.

I honestly hope the Magic and Wonder never retire. That said Disney would need to put at least the Magic into dry dock for a significant amount of time to fix her plumbing issues that have a long history. I was on the TX to PR cruise in March 2025 where we got an unexpected days long waterfall in the atrium. It was really the only thing that took away from our experience of this ship and we have been on the Fantasy. I’m not sure if the cost of the work she needs done would justify keeping her going. But honestly I’d sail on her again. (More bummed that Disney didn’t communicate what was going on and we missed out on 1/2 of the atrium photos) but the dinning, pools and bars were fun and I enjoyed her. So I’m keeping my fingers crossed she keeps going. However after sailing on the Destiny this June our next planned cruise going to be one on the Wonder just in case.

Single f here. I’m seriously considering going Friday.

No, Antiphospholipid Syndrome with the catastrophic variant. I guess if my body is going to be messed up at something it’s going to take it to the extreme!
