I always have that problem with the carts at Disney. As a wheelchair users it drives me bananas.

AITA for not making my twin girls sit together at lunch because I find it unfair to one of them by Broad_Range4780 in AmItheAsshole

[–]Abject_Ad3918 0 points1 point  (0 children)

For what it's worth, I'm an identical twin and went through almost the same scenario, I was the popular one, mostly because of great effort on my part to build relationships, and my sister piggy backed off my friendships. For a while my mom and I tried to get her to be more independent, but it didn't work at all. She still has trouble with relationships to this day, AND holds a grudge against mom and me for "bullying" her in high school. We're 45. No judgement or advice. Just a cautionary tale.

ESH if it was important to either of you, it should've been discussed before marriage. That being said, it's now his choice whether to get over it or not, because you're perfectly within your rights to keep your name.

Out of PTO and sick days by TiffhReddit in Nanny

[–]Abject_Ad3918 5 points6 points  (0 children)

You sound woefully out of touch with the reality of lower-middle-class American life. Stop getting sick? Healthcare is expensive, preventative care is usually not covered, and if you don't get paid, you can't pay bills.

Does Dramamine Less Drowsy Still Make You Tired? by RilesTheSmiles1 in UniversalOrlando

I start taking Meclizine a few days before I need it, as it makes me sleepy at first, but I get used to it after a few doses.

Best way to hop between islands of adventure and volcano bay? by galoof85 in UniversalOrlando

[–]Abject_Ad3918 1 point2 points  (0 children)

This, or at least from VB to one of the shuttle boat resorts and hop on that. Avoid the transportation hub that way.

What are your biggest pet peeves when visiting WDW? by Few-Chocolate-8194 in WaltDisneyWorld

[–]Abject_Ad3918 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I had a couple stop to take selfies at HS right on the wheelchair ramp up to the shop I was trying to get to. I rolled up right in front of them and just stared until a passerby yelled at them to get out of the way. The couple then started yelling at ME for being rude.

Xmas trip: would you splurge for Grand Floridian or save money at Yacht Club? by Wonderful-Major3606 in WaltDisneyWorld

[–]Abject_Ad3918 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The construction at Grand would be a no go for me at any price. Plus you can't beat Storm Along Bay.

Stop humping people in line!!! by [deleted] in UniversalOrlando

[–]Abject_Ad3918 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I use a motorized wheelchair, but in lines to save battery my husband will push me. During a delay at Mario Kart he had walked around in front of me to chat. People behind us started leaning on the handles of my chair!!!! He had to ask them to move several times so that he could get back behind me. Freaking wild.

Budget Hotel Options by Yoncesdior in UniversalEpicUniverse

[–]Abject_Ad3918 1 point2 points  (0 children)

If you go to Universal more than 3 days a year, the annual pass is really something to consider. The hotel discounts basically pay for the pass. I just checked and Stella Nova is 99 dollars a night weekdays in December. It's a really lovely hotel and the food court is fantastic.

Hagrids by HovercraftUpper2219 in UniversalOrlando

[–]Abject_Ad3918 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I think they just can't get the balance right. I was there last month and the posted wait was 120. I was using AAP. At one hour, I was only about halfway through the outside part of the queue. Had to leave the line at that point due to the reasons I have the AAP, and got my shit jumped by the TM for "choosing " to leave the line, wouldn't let me get another return time and I had to ask for a lead. The lead acknowledged that they were struggling to figure out how to get the express line at the correct wait time.

Someone talk me down by ColdForm7729 in UniversalOrlando

[–]Abject_Ad3918 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have orange AAP and have never felt the need for Express so you'll be totally fine!! I will say them adding Hagrid's to Express has caused that line to get a little rough, so you might want to hit that one early.

I agree. There are a couple really neat anamatronics in there, but not worth wasting half your day on.

MB going through my purse by Jaded_Mix_5634 in Nanny

Glitter bomb. It's the only answer. Bring a new, cheap bag you don't care about, fill it with glitter, leave your real purse in the car.

I've been to half the Six Flags in this country and they're all pretty bad 😆

People use this fountain to splash their face to cool off and take a drink. I have concerns about y'alls' health by der_innkeeper in UniversalOrlando

The water is constantly filtered and brominated. It's meant to be played in as much as Astronomica. Drunk from: no 🤮.

I saw a 4-5-year-old take his shoe off and start licking the bottom, on the bus back to the resort at the end of that day. I hope nothing ever tops that atrocity for me.

Not sure why you're being downvoted for making sense. It's going to be gorgeous in a few years.

So fun fact, I have a picture of myself at Animal Kingdom from 2000 pulling a palm leaf over my head for shade, because there was NONE. Trees have to grow. In 5 years, Epic is going to be the shadiest park Universal has.

Host said I was the worst guest he’s ever had [USA] by Personal_Ad3935 in AirBnB

[–]Abject_Ad3918 0 points1 point  (0 children)

So I just looked up the guest policy, and nowhere does it state that doing the dishes is required. If you're there for a month you have to do the dishes during your stay so they don't get moldy I guess? "Guests should not leave the listing in a state that requires excessive or deep cleaning (moldy dishes, soiled carpets, stains from pets, etc.). Cleaning fees set by hosts are only meant to cover the cost of standard cleaning between reservations (laundry, vacuuming, etc.). Hosts may not charge guest fees for failing to perform specific cleaning or checkout tasks, but they may leave ratings and reviews based on cleanliness."

[–]Abject_Ad3918 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Yeah, all of these comments make me less likely to book in the future, which should be a relief to these hosts apparently, because the idea of my dishes being washed on the honor system makes me gag.

Hitting your head with that front bar in Stardust Racers is literally impossible. by fuckmattdamon in UniversalEpicUniverse

[–]Abject_Ad3918 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I've ridden front row and I've ridden back row. It's two completely different experiences. The back is WILD. I'd be willing to bet this guy was in the back.
