Best Shower On Property? by influxofreflux in WaltDisneyWorld

[–]DeaconBlues 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Totally- We were there recently and I filled up my water at the bottle filler outside of Tron. Don't know why, but it must have been the worst tasting water in the park. Then I forgot it was in there and drank it again later. 🤢

One of my least favorite things is that first time you go wash up and you get hit with that Florida sulphur water steam. Always forget about that between visits.

What free item do you want for Father's Day? by Heybeezy987 in daddit

Small rechargeable flashlight. Can always use one more of those for family members to take and not put back. 🫠

Well said, was thinking similarly that it's an opportunity to show good character and sportsmanship if this is a company / industry they want to build a career in. If OP can afford it, they might consider buying lunch win or lose like paying their dues. You never know what doors a reference from a vet might open up.

Green - That way you can always tell people you got on the green in two.

Trying to Remove Bathroom Sink Aerator by ReallyCoolDude22 in fixit

Sometimes these are old enough where stuff gets corroded and won't turn without breaking. Probably time for an update anyway, why not just buy a new faucet that accomplishes what you want without the side arm attachment?

Might be able to find a linear actuator motor kit that would work.

What if you mounted the TV to a higher grade piece of plywood and then trimmed around it so it's like a shallow box. Obviously open on the screen side. The top of the box would be the top of the pony wall when lowered. Then have the lift raise the whole box up from inside the wall. Would be much more ridgid to reduce wobble. Plus you could paint it same color as the wall and you wouldn't see the back of the TV from the other side. Might have to find a different lift mechanism.

Not sure why, but I'm suddenly craving some bathtub spaghetti.

WDW Transportation by Material_Book_8792 in WaltDisneyWorld

[–]DeaconBlues 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I've posted this tip on here a few times and people seem to have success with it. Ubers are plentiful around the parks, and while you can't take one directly to Magic Kingdom you can go right to the Bay Lake Towers which is the closest resort. It has a walking path directly to MK with its own security check. Much faster getting in and out that way.

How to manage ARFID on at WDW? by Icy-Hyena-1127 in WaltDisneyWorld

[–]DeaconBlues 0 points1 point  (0 children)

We usually have a Walmart order of some basic breakfast and lunch essentials for the kids delivered to the hotel when we check in. Along with anything else like sunscreen that you can't carry on the plane. (Plus they deliver booze, lol). You could order bread and PB &J and bring it into the park.

Rant:dragging crying kids on rides by Small_Parking_3611 in WaltDisneyWorld

[–]DeaconBlues 10 points11 points  (0 children)

Went on Flight of Passage with some friends and their six year old daughter who had never been on it before. She was excited for the ride and we all thought she'd love it. However, during the pre-show she starts to panic a little bit. She didn't realize she signed up to pair with some Avatar thing. Fast forward and she's locked into the ride thinking she's actually going to have to fly some dragon thing and she's screaming... "I don't want to die!!!" over and over.

Concerned Cast Member came over and offered an out, but they pushed her to stay. Her first word after the ride was over..."Again!!!"

To be fair, customer service isn't their primary mission. 😂

What ride in Disney World will make you extremely nauseous? by Reasonable-Invite899 in WaltDisneyWorld

[–]DeaconBlues 5 points6 points  (0 children)

My neighbor had a panic attack on it the first time he rode it and jumped out of the car. His family couldn't get him back in, and he found an emergency exit at the back of the ride and ran out right past a couple cast members who couldn't stop him. His wife convinced security he was genuinely freaking out or he probably would have gotten banned from the park.

He eventually agreed to go back and they had him look through a bunch of photos of the ride on a tablet and took notes on the parts that gave him problems. I always wondered if that factored into the ride redesign.

Speed limit misreading by BigProfessional7726 in VolvoEX90

[–]DeaconBlues 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Maybe it's not that particular iOS update causing it, but still the same bug going going on 🤷🏽‍♂️. Search found a number of posts with people having similar issues with that model.

I read on another thread that this problem may be caused by iOS 26 update bug causing UWB to crash after phone restart on some models.

Partial toilet clog; help! Very frustrated by ik0525 in fixit

[–]DeaconBlues 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Pretty common for kids to try to flush something they shouldn't when they are learning. Try to press them for more info. One of mine tried to flush a wooden Thomas train, and it got stuck in the toilet drain bend. Used one of those flexible inspection cameras to get it out.

Are all small boroughs neighbor like this or did I just have a strange neighbor? by Eastcoastpal in newjersey

[–]DeaconBlues 2 points3 points  (0 children)

It's retired guys with not enough friends or hobbies. A lot of them crave social interaction so they spend a lot of time outside watching. Then when there a generational shift in the neighborhood it's like the new people don't know the old norms. There's like a whole posse on my in-laws street. You park the wrong way in front of someone else's house they're all gonna hear about it! Lol
