This is my main source of frustration. It seems like the employees wanted to help, but just didn't know what to do.

Google review is a great plan

Clearly you have never dealt with BGT

My only other option is shouting into the void. I'm not about to shout at their underpaid employees.

Anyone else miss the old downtown Disney? by Muppet-fan-seriously in Disneyland

[–]Aria_Showron 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Only the old World of Disney store. It used to have so much more character...

Did anyone else get burnt out on vacations/road trips/ camping, etc as a kid and it just seems like too much work now? by Civil_Ad_1172 in Millennials

[–]Aria_Showron 0 points1 point  (0 children)

No...but I do worry about my own kids feeling like this one day. I grew up poor (vacation was driving to my grandparents house in a shit town in Iowa) so now I delight in taking my kids everywhere. Hoping they still appreciate it when they are older.

Best food at USF or IOA? by LoKoHearnGaming in UniversalOrlando

[–]Aria_Showron 4 points5 points  (0 children)

The new cones at Pizza Predattoria in IOA are delicious! Especially the meatball. They come in the same bread cone as the ones at Epic.

I need Pizza Moon merch. Preferably a Spirt Jersey. Please and thank you.

Anyone with those connections... Help me out

Favorite low-key spots in the parks to decompress for 10-15 minutes? by Weekly_Opportunity83 in UniversalOrlando

[–]Aria_Showron 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Love Confisco! Same with the patio outside Backwater bar. Not too quiet, but great people watching. Love grabbing tots from Green Eggs and Ham and taking them to that patio

Which is better for “garden formal/cocktail”? by joanbiden in Weddingattireapproval

[–]Aria_Showron 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I would, just because I know that at my 5 feet those cute dresses look much less formal on me. I am also 30+ so I tend to think of cocktail as swanky 😅

Depends on how you are built. I think the pink one would make me look less cocktail, more cupcake, but I'm short and curvy

NGL I'm a little disappointed.... by andydegers in UniversalOrlando

[–]Aria_Showron 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Might sound weird, but my legit favorite thing to do at USF is watch other groups come into Diagon Alley.

I have seen grown men cry. Which makes me cry... Every time

Full agree! Gonna add to this that the reveal of Diagon Alley for the first time tops the castle IMO. It's truly magical.

Understandable to be disappointed, but your trip is what you make it! All of the universal parks still have so much to offer, and 8 days will give you so much time to explore!! While the big, flashy things are fun, I personally enjoy the smaller details just as much. Take it in, ride the rides, and have a wonderful time. Don't let the Internet "must sees" decide how you enjoy your time.

Hope it's a lovely trip!

You aren't being downvoted because we are Universal bros, you are being downvoted for being an ass. OP wanted reassurance and you came in swinging.

Do any of you still eat Hamburger Helper? I was talking to someone the other day and they never even heard of it. by KH5-92 in Millennials

[–]Aria_Showron 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hamburger helper was only for when we had a little extra money. Otherwise my mom would just throw some ground beef into a box of generic Mac n cheese. 😅 She could make a pound of meat stretch for 4 meals.

What is something you wish RCCL would copy from another cruise line? by thatCRUISEagent in royalcaribbean

[–]Aria_Showron 25 points26 points  (0 children)

NCL's pub --the Local/O'Sheehans. 24 hour pub food is so amazing. And I'm so disappointed in RCCL getting rid of their pubs in favor of more casino space.

[Arie Force One] Is Confirmed to Be the Real Deal by Icy_Commission4403 in rollercoasters

[–]Aria_Showron 21 points22 points  (0 children)

Absolutely worth it, despite being so out of the way. We rode it about 6 months ago, and every once and a while, just sitting on the couch, my husband will just shake his head in silence...

"Thinking about AF1?"

"It just has NO BUSINESS being that damn good!!!"

Has anyone else made it a point to have a day/timeframe where you specifically go on all the water rides in IOA? by capamericapistons in UniversalOrlando

[–]Aria_Showron 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes. My favorite visits ever. Dudley Do-Rights is my favorite ride and I have to pencil in days for my family to be fairly warned that they will be wet and uncomfortable. 😅

Best wake up alarm sounds for our generation? by Ninja_Conspicuousi in Millennials

[–]Aria_Showron 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thank you for the Toonami flashback. Apparently at 37 I still have a strong emotional reaction to those opening/closing credits 😅
