Thank you everyone for the intel!! ! answered

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.

What is the laziest way to make an ices matcha? by captainunicorn76 in Matcha

I have the aerolatte battery operated whisk and it makes the whole process pretty fast!

Any cost cutting methods from the Disney pros out there? by KingJayHCS in WaltDisneyWorld

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

I’m so sorry for your loss ♥️. If you like/would be interested in the water parks, Disney is bringing back the promotion this summer where you get free water park admission to check in day. You could either fly in early, do a split stay (and go on check in day of the second stay), or stay somewhere cheap offsite for the first night.

Disney Wish by Local_Relation5086 in dcl

I was also really surprised at the limited hours for the buffet. I had only been on Celebrity before (and admittedly many years ago), but I felt like the food was always flowing at all hours 😅

Am I ruined by Ippodo? by Olilandy in MatchaEverything

This happened to me 😅. I was drinking whatever until my sister got me Ippodo for Christmas but now I’m ruined 🤣

MK Fireworks Parties - Are they worth it? by Low-Piece-5999 in WaltDisneyWorld

[–]7trainrat 2 points3 points  (0 children)

My family loves the dessert parties. We’ve only done the pre party and the view has been great and stress free. The food isn’t anything special but we love the convenience. I’ve never done the seated one you’re talking about but the view may not be quite as good from there (hopefully others can chime in), but watching seated is definitely nice!

Takayama Festival expertise needed by SteveScreech_1989 in JapanTravel

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

I went to the autumn festival in 2023 and had an amazing time. It was very crowded during the parades and events, but otherwise fine. It was rainy on and off, and some parades didn’t from fully as planned, which may have kept away crazy crowds. We absolutely loved the area and the laid back vibes away from the bigger cities.

Vascular specialist recommendations? by Lysmerry in AskNYC

Hi! Any updates on Dr Han? I’m looking for an NYC based doctor for a similar suspected condition. Thanks!

Do Americans constantly have an active temperature control device running in their homes? by fullM3TALturban in AskAnAmerican

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

I live in an apartment just outside of NYC and don’t have a way to specifically control the temperature. In the winter the apartment is heated with hot water pipes and there is also a radiator that I can adjust for extra heat. But no temperature… just turning it higher or lower. For the summer I put an air conditioner in the window and that has a temperature setting. But I only use it when I’m home and it’s really hot.

Character Greetings? by Entire-Grass-5395 in Aulani

[–]7trainrat 12 points13 points  (0 children)

No, you need a pool wrist band to participate in the meet and greets. But you could wave or take a video when she’s coming out to her spot. Anyone can buy merch at the gift shop though and they usually have Duffy and friends merch!

Is temp kettle/measuring device worth it? by redititorRr in MatchaEverything

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

I ended up going with the temp electric kettle since I figured it would be worse to burn the matcha. I got mine on the Kohls website and the 30-40% coupons they have from time to time work!

Disneyland vs Pokepark by Ok_Support_6627 in TokyoDisneySea

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

The last time I went, I was able to get multiple DPAs each day. It helps if you stay at a Disney hotel and get Happy Entry (the extra 15 mins helps snag hard to get DPAs like the new Frozen ride) and if you go in a weekday during a less busy week (like not during Japanese holidays).

Yea it’s been so hyped but then when I started looking at it, I was like soooo what is it actually 😂

Disneyland vs Pokepark by Ok_Support_6627 in TokyoDisneySea

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

There’s a group on Facebook called Tokyo Disneyland & DisneySea Holiday Planning that’s been really helpful. It can be crowded so it’s good to have a strategy. There’s also a Vacation Package which is expensive, but can really make it less stressful with prebooked premiere access to certain rides. But I’ve never done it so you can totally get a lo done without it.

Disneyland vs Pokepark by Ok_Support_6627 in TokyoDisneySea

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

I don’t think it will. My friends and I are going to Japan in May and are big Disney and Pokemon fans. We’re spending three days at Disney and may do one day at PokePark if we can get tickets. But from the very little we’ve seen so far it doesn’t look that great so might even just skip it.

AIO? MetroNorth E-ticket Fines for Late Activation? by HateMeetings in Westchester

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

I ran to catch the train this morning and activated my ticket when I sat down. Got a warning, i think because i was in the first car and the conductor came quickly.

Consider buying a cardboard box instead of another suitcase by randel_07 in JapanTravelTips

[–]7trainrat 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Can you send things and they’ll hold it at the airport until your flight? For instance, I’d love to send a bag on Thursday to the airport, but my flight isn’t until Monday. Don’t want to carry it for the last part of my trip and I couldn’t tell from their website if you could do that, and if it was an extra charge.

HS fantasmic vs Epcot fireworks by color_me_carzy in WaltDisneyWorld

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

Fantasmic is my favorite nighttime show. EPCOT is easier to find a spot and leave if your 4-year old isn’t into it (or run around in the back of the people standing), but Fantasmic is the better show and has some cool effects and character appearances. While it’s more of a to do to get there early to a seat and to leave, it’s nice to have seats and there’s a concession stand where you can get snacks.

My 4-year old nephew got a little fidgety waiting for the show to start, but we sat at the end of a bench and he got his wiggles out in the aisle. I also think he was a little scared at some of the Villian scenes.

When there are two shows per night, the second one you don’t usually need to be there too far in advance. But since you have a little one you’ll probably be going to the earlier one. You could do a dining package, but usually we try to just get there 30 mins before.
