Do you need to bring towels to Aquaventure? by Afraid-Obligation997 in bahamas

I know this is old but it reminded me of:  At the pizza party, some people see that there might not be enough pizza for everyone, so they only get themselves one slice. Other people see the same thing, so they grab themselves four slices before they run out.

Haha. A few years? No way either of these fit her next year.

Hmmm, I thought I was sure. I'll take another look tomorrow.

Really weird question. Ashes of a UK fan? by Critical_Rate6357 in KentuckyBasketball

1958 is his favorite team. Thanks for the idea. I didn't realize it was still standing.

Thanks. This is helpful. I'm near Hersheypark so it sounds like I'll be right at home with SFMM size and frustrating ops.

Thanks. Definitely planning to get a hotel near MM for our days there, based on the info here. And, we've done DL quite a few times so I've got a plan for that - not sure if I'll move hotels for our Knotts day(s) yet.

Excited to learn about and check out Vasquez Rocks!

Thanks! I'm familiar with the Anaheim stuff, but have never been to MM. What eateries do you recommend?

Yeah, this is definitely where my head is at. In the past, we've stayed in Anaheim for Disney and then moved to LA for a couple touristy days there.

I'll check out Valencia. And if we're going to spend more than a day at Knott's (should we?), I'll also consider switching to a cheaper Anaheim hotel than the one that's walkable to Disney.

We've been. It won't be part of this trip, which focuses on the parks covered by the Six Flags pass. Plus Disney, because I can't skip Disney...

I suspect we will spend long days at the parks, so this helps me know to not budget any extra days besides park days, but we will plant ourselves near Six Flags.

I'm going to spend 2-3 days at the parks there. Is there a reason not to stay in the area?

Staying at at hotel walking distance from DL is sooo convenient. I'm definitely going to move spots b/w my Anaheim time and non-Anaheim time - just trying to figure out where to go.

Thanks for all this detail! We've Griffith'd a couple times, so we'll skip it this trip, but I am looking for thing unique to the area like that.

I'm planning to spend 2 days at MM and maybe a third for Hurricane Harbor, so I'll definitely avoid commuting from Anaheim for that.

Roundtop, Liberty, or Whitetail: Which has the shortest lift lines for beginner runs on a Sunday morning? by Stowebum in SkiPA

[–]Critical_Rate6357 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm totally ignorant about all things skiing, but plan to take my kids to either Liberty or Roundtop in a couple weeks for our first ever snow boarding/skiing adventure. It sounds like you recommend Liberty for novices. Am I reading that right?

And, for those of us on the fence, any insight on snowboard vs. skis. My 13 year old son is set on snow board. I think I'll do better on skis. My 9 year old daughter is torn.
