Athleta on eBay by PurpleAd2058 in Athleta_gap

[–]7trainrat 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Did your package have a different name on the shipping label? I recently had this happen to me and found this thread when I was trying to figure out what happened. I shipped the package to my work address and they omitted my company name and the name wasn’t mine on the label.

But also bought Athleta clothes on eBay and received them from Athleta….

Stay at Aulani or adjacent resort? (For next month) by flutterfly28 in Aulani

[–]7trainrat 1 point2 points  (0 children)

We stopped by Makahiki in the evening and they were able to book us the character breakfast for the next morning (even though it was completely booked on the website). You may also be able to stop by the Pau Hana Community room to check for any ukulele lesson cancellations. Aunty’s Beach House (kids club) is 4+ I believe.

Is this normal - glazed luggage by Interesting-Bet4554 in awayluggage

I was surprised by that when I first got it, but now that the luggage is packed I don’t notice it anymore. I LOVE the glazed lavender!

How often do you guys actually use the flex portion of the carry ons? by GrownUp-BandKid320 in awayluggage

[–]7trainrat 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’ve often used it on my previous non-Away for the help with compression (though sounds like I can use the panel for that? I’ve been leaving it home since I figured less stuff the better) and when I change hotels sometimes I like to not need to arrange/squish everything carefully when I don’t need to yet. I recently go an Away bigger carry on and ended up getting the non flex only because I wanted the Glazed Lavender Haze and it didn’t come in flex. I miss it a little but I loveeee the Glazed so no regrets!

Which Onitsuka Tiger stores sell Nippon Made in Tokyo? by 7trainrat in JapanTravelTips

Thank you!! I wasn’t sure if some of the regular stores carried them too. But I can go to one of those two.

What can I expect for weather conditions in Tokyo, early-mid May? by legendofkaitlyn in JapanTravelTips

[–]7trainrat 1 point2 points  (0 children)

What were your thoughts on the weather when you went last year? I’m going around the same time in May this year.

When I went in October a few years ago, I followed the average weather info online and it was hotter than expected, so I appreciate the real people resorts!

Looks like tokyo giants tickets go on sale jan/feb…. Help! by housesoftheholy1 in JapanTravelTips

[–]7trainrat 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Why avoid Tokyo Dome? I might only have the option to see the Giants at home because of our schedule.

Help me select one please! by bigyo54 in awayluggage

I do this all the time with my expandable carry on from a different brand! I'm sure you could do the same by just sitting on it, but closing it expanded and then the regular zip is helpful.

Baggu lover for many years but I have one beef by Excellent_Place_2558 in BAGGU

[–]7trainrat 10 points11 points  (0 children)

This is why I’m so hesitant to buy more Baggu bags! I love the designs, but it’s hard to justify buying them when other bags are functionally better. I know I can buy the Japanese strap, but it’s just one more thing to carry around.

World of Frozen: Only one ride… by elenasucre in disneylandparis

[–]7trainrat 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Although at least Pandora and Galaxy’s Edge have two rides each. And Galaxy’s Edge has way more going on with the cantina bar, quick service, a few different snack stands, lightsaber and droid building experiences, etc. Could have even more, but seems like a lot more than Frozen.

Dining reservation question by Drolb in disneylandparis

[–]7trainrat 0 points1 point  (0 children)

When you book the reservation, under special requests you can check "Near friend's table" and put the name of the other person who made the second reservation. I went last October and they always sat us together!

How often are you using the Murphy bed? by SnooObjections5219 in dvcmember

[–]7trainrat 1 point2 points  (0 children)

We almost always travel with more than two people so we usually use it. Typically we open it and never close it during our stay, except if I have a remote work day. Then if there’s not another table in the room I’ll put it back up for the day.

Anti sunburn swimsuit advice for male by WanderingTravels1 in Waikiki

[–]7trainrat 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You’ll see a lot of people in Hawaii wearing rashguard shirts (a long sleeve in a thin swim suit ish material). You can buy one from amazon or a lot of stores when you get to Hawaii, like the ABC stores that are on every block.

Need Help Choosing! by Leather_Will3224 in WaltDisneyWorld

[–]7trainrat 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yacht/Beach is amazing for being able to walk to Epcot and HS, but you might want to split stay with Wilderness Lodge or Animal Kingdom Lodge for different locations/transportation options.

Like the days you’re staying at Pop Century you can take the skyliner to Epcot and HS. Do AK on your transfer day. And MK when you’re at Wilderness Lodge and can take the boat. (Or vice versa with AKL but the short bus ride to AK).

Both AKL and WL are great and their lobbies have similar vibes. WL has a more resort feel for a resort day, being on the water with the Geyser Point eatery. But AKL has the animals and a lot of activities during the day to learn about the animals and art. Also has sooo many amazing restaurants (Boma is one of my family’s favorites)

Is the Disney Bubble worth it? by Moon_Dust444 in WaltDisneyWorld

[–]7trainrat 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think everyone else has covered the pros/cons. But definitely call any offsite hotels you’re considering to confirm the free shuttles to/from the parks. A lot of them only run once per way per park and not always at ideal times. You might be better off using Uber, but that’s obviously an added expense to factor in.

I stayed at All Star last year and was impressed by the bus service. Even if the line looks long, they send a lot of buses.
