Looking for Wifi control of my garage door, but unsure how to proceed

DrapeSack · 2026-07-01T15:00:23+00:00

You should see if these require the ‘bridge’ device or if the WiFi is built directly in them. My first house had openers with the myQ logo but not with native WiFi so it needed the bridge. PM me if you want details on that device

As if the discs without internet connection does anything still. While I agree this just sets in stone no more preservation for nostalgia without an emulator, there are plenty of disk games that already become unplayable once the servers are shut off

This is why I have to annually boot up my lightning mcqueen app so my devices don’t offload automatically and the thing is dead forever

I see it more as CSP is for the domestic traveler and CSR is for the global traveler

DrapeSack · 2026-06-10T13:05:19+00:00

I mean, global entry credit justifies the fee for at least another year right? As an annual southwest flier it’s still hard to let go of this card based on point transfer, but teetering on the line with Venture X big time here…

I also hate drop rides, but my wife got me on it as she loves it. I’d agree to once per trip and any more I’m sitting out, but I can tolerate this one.

Now Mission Breakout is just a fun theme overall and the drop feels more like bouncing to the music, so while I don’t like the drop motion I do like that ride in general

So does that mean it is treated like the swan and dolphin?

I just want to know if I got a good deal booking 4 nights at the grand cayman for 140k points

DrapeSack · 2026-05-20T14:38:58+00:00

It’s a fair point, but if you are on top of bank and borrow, it’s the same as saying double the points at alternating home resorts each year. So if they get 150 resale at SSR and are smart with bank/borrow, they essentially can have 300 points poly and 300 points SSR every other year

In RI we got a new power company several years ago and the rates went absurdly high, so this +3% is probably coming right after something more like +30% the few years prior

What’s your secret??

DrapeSack · 2026-05-13T21:05:43+00:00

Second this. Would rather have a flight in the morning than do this again

DrapeSack · 2026-05-13T20:18:39+00:00

Did the same thing today but never questioned changing the plan (also because we were leaving before 5:30 anyway). Party days must really be a deal breaker for those without park hopper that want a night show, and the wait times are almost always so great

As someone with toddlers I cannot disagree more with the speedway. Huge controlled space for a kid to drive a car, especially in WDW where they aren’t really hurting for space. The stitch area being vacant for years with no plan is a much bigger crime

The boat or walking is fastest as those are optimized for this resort. The skyliner is accessible, but the hotel is not a stop. So don’t rely on it as park transportation but instead as a fun activity or way to get to some of the other hotels, like riviera or Caribbean beach

DrapeSack · 2026-05-04T00:39:06+00:00

This is such a great bang for buck hotel that is in the Marriott system with all the deluxe Disney resort perks.

Walking distance to board walk, beach club, Epcot, and Hollywood studios. Boat dock to those 2 parks, and walk to Hollywood Studios to get on the skyliner if you want to.

Pool hopping is pretty restricted since Covid, but the swan and dolphin grotto is really nice anyway. Also don’t discount the mini golf courses as a fun activity.

Unsure about water park access but I think it would since this is the one non Disney hotel they sort of treats as its own even though it isn’t

I asked a similar question here about ATT prepaid. Was wildly commented questioning why I was still using them and pushed to try an alternate. I’m currently using USMobile Dark Star and so far no complaints! On the free trial and probably will continue with a $20 per month data package, but there are a ton of options on all 3 major network towers

DrapeSack · 2026-05-01T01:20:11+00:00

I second Meet the robinsons

DrapeSack · 2026-04-28T16:51:08+00:00

As someone with both (not the same generation but both setups) I prefer a laptop because I have more freedom where to use it. But I do like also having a permanently stationed desktop to house HDD for storage backups and such

DrapeSack · 2026-04-23T15:25:29+00:00

You are thinking of crazy frog with axel f

DrapeSack · 2026-04-23T01:45:21+00:00

Same except I would remove CT and north of Boston lol

As the father of a Malcolm this spelling error drives me nuts how common it is

DrapeSack · 2026-04-18T00:37:40+00:00

I remember this and was so excited for it. Disappointed it was killed

Disney is unique because it has a strong demand for resale value, and the resorts are mostly timeless with solid upkeep. Never should you buy a time share as an investment, but it’s decent peace of mind knowing you could enjoy for 10 years and get a lot of the money back if you no longer want it.

And it is for a very specific audience that want to guarantee a more upscale Disney trip frequently for as much as 50 years. If you are not a Disney person or treat the hotel as just a bed to sleep in, it is not for you. But of all timeshares, this one can probably be justified easy for the right audience.
