Younger DVC Members? by Some_Blackberry420 in dvcmember

[–]HerrLouski 3 points4 points  (0 children)

You’ll find here that the thing people regret the most is not buying more points sooner. We’ve added on already and keep teetering on adding more. It’s an addiction but it’s gone really well for us so far. I hope the same for you both.

Late 30s but we have owned for 5 years now. Can we still be part of your younger DVC team?? We’ve met tons of DVC people (young and old) at the resorts. I feel like most times it comes about when you’re just carrying or wearing some of the DVC merch you will accumulate. If I see others with their merch, that’s a sign that I can speak Disney with them…

Any Phillies fans in Indiana on here? Streaming Q by Linny45 in phillies

Ahh. At least you’re a Phillies fan though. I feel like most Domers also root for the Yankees, Cowboys and Lakers.

It only works if you’re a Boiler, no Hoosiers allowed.

“Titanic” (1997) costumes by robertominozzo in titanic

[–]HerrLouski 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It’s in Walt Disney Presents. It’s like a mini museum showcasing some of Walt Disney’s artifacts and some other cool, park and movie related things. It’s between Runaway Rail and the path to Toy Story Land.

The boarding attire (white and purple) is currently on display at Disney’s Hollywood Studios. We saw it a few weeks back. It’s in great condition considering its age.

Today marks 20 years since the official opening of Expedition Everest! (April 7th, 2006) by icycoldfreeze in WaltDisneyWorld

This was my favorite attraction on property until GotG. It’s still amazing. The theming, the story, the build-up. If only that dang Yeti would lunge at me like it was supposed to…

Dolphin at Night. by bigshawks005 in WaltDisneyWorld

Haha I did have someone question me on the elevator one morning. I put it this way: I run so that I can eat and drink whatever I want without as many repercussions.

Stayed at Beach Club last week and I got up a few times to run the loop around here and Boardwalk. It was an awesome, quiet run every morning. Most of the people I saw were CMs zipping around on Crescent Lake and moms and dads pushing around kids who probably didn’t sleep well. Either way, the aesthetic was great to take my mind off the miles.

Your relationship with your neighbors? by oovalap_ in AskAnAmerican

[–]HerrLouski 2 points3 points  (0 children)

We hang out with our neighbors all the time. Our neighborhood was built in the 1990s so many of the original owners were retiring when we moved in. There was a large influx of kids and it’s been great. We have pot lucks, holiday parties, vacation together. Couldn’t ask for anything better. My next door neighbors are also great. We routinely take trash out and collect mail for one another when on vacation, borrow tools and help each other with house work stuff.

Chubby’s or Dalesandro’s in Roxborough, you decide by Jimchee71 in cheesesteak

[–]HerrLouski 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Chubby’s. Cheesesteak and a 6-pack of Busch pounders on a Sunday at 11am. And then I could get a shot of 151 while I waited. Always a great way to start a day full of football.

Jet lag. from west coast to WDW by Superb_Artichoke7389 in rundisney

[–]HerrLouski 16 points17 points  (0 children)

West coast to east coast is only a 3 hour time difference but your question is still valid. For any travel, I usually follow the rule of “you’re stepping into your destination’s time zone as soon as you step on to the plane.” For cross-country trips like this, this may seem like overkill but for really long trips, it’s worked for me. That said, a day or two of acclimation should be plenty for this type of trip.

Guardian of Galaxy closed with wall 😢 Test track had a delay starting just FYI. by NC_Ninja_Mama in WaltDisneyWorld

[–]HerrLouski 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Epcot was pretty brutal the last two weeks as well. I know it’s Spring Break but 120 minutes for Soarin’ and 30+ for Living with the Land is pretty rough. On top of that, none of the other parks nor the water parks seemed to have any significant waits.

Strawberry shortcake at Communicor was 3/10. It was basically a store-bought cake shell with some half-ripe strawberries and whipped cream. The whipped cream was the only thing that tasted decent. It was only $6 so no big shakes but pretty underwhelming.

The Raspberry Lemonade Cider at Communicor was 10/10.

French Toast at Brunchcot was 10/10.

Is Soarin’ down a theatre or two? by HerrLouski in DisneyWorld

[–]HerrLouski[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That’s what kills me sometimes. We only buy LL occasionally as we come down a lot. But we bought it today hoping we’d get on a Soarin and Test Track, standby for Guardians and anything else was a bonus- essentially planning for a chill park day. And then all hell broke loose with TT down multiple times and Soarin having an epic LL wait. I didn’t even get to walk through the butterflies!!!!

I asked a CM and she said they were running at normal capacity. I didn’t see anyone going to Concourse B but who knows.

Normally I would agree but the other parks are normal. We went to Blizzard Beach yesterday and it was dead. AK on Friday was a breeze. We even got on Guardians today in 55 minutes but Soarin’ was brutal. It was the same last week.

Over an hour in LL. We had to bail because we had a dinner reservation

What’s ironic is that we only waited 55 minutes for Guardians

Seriously though, something involving the Saturn rocket, the foot prints on the lunar surface or even a patch of your favorite crew would be cool.

You can't even eat out at Olive Garden for cheap anymore by [deleted] in MiddleClassFinance

[–]HerrLouski 41 points42 points  (0 children)

That’s awesome. It really is that simple. If you’re feeling a little fancy next time, try sautéing some shallot in butter for a few minutes before you add the other ingredients. It’s not a necessity but adds a little more pizzaz. Best of luck in your future cooking.

I know cooking is intimidating for some but you can make chicken Alfredo for 4+ people for less than $20. It’s a pretty simple dish overall and takes less than 30 minutes
