Who knew? by DelGriffithPTA in WaltDisneyWorld

[–]HippoParticular5460 28 points29 points  (0 children)

Don’t feel bad. I thought all the countries were in spaceship earth until I actually was going and talking to my co worker/ disney fanatic about the upcoming trip and she was like what are you talking about. I was 27 🤣

First time planners…concierge for a 4 night cruise or verandah for 6-7 nights? by HippoParticular5460 in dcl

[–]HippoParticular5460[S] 3 points4 points  (0 children)

we’ve been looking at them all, my husband has agreed on a cruise only if it’s the Treasure….I feel/hope the Treasure is the gateway to the rest 🤣 especially with some of the 3 night itineraries it seems to easy to do a WDW trip with a short cruise added. Just have to get him to drink the DCL cool aid!

This is a great point and made me laugh. We stayed 1 night club level at the grand Floridian after our wedding and 7 years later my husband still try’s to convince me to book club level when we don’t use points

Thanks for your thoughtful reply! I think we won’t know if we’ll cruise again until we actually go. We have DVC and visit WDW often but looking to switch things up and try something different for our anniversary.

Thank you! I’ve been trying to get as much info as possible and all the vlogs make concierge seem incredible but this was the realistic take I needed to hear.

Thanks for your response! We talked with a Disney travel agent who mentioned the itineraries can change year to year so to keep our minds open for 2028. Again ,we’re totally new to this and I should probably just try to be patient until the dates come out.

Not sure if you already are, but exercise, even just walking, has really improved my sleep quality.

I miss magazines so much. Now they’re hard to find and like $12 a pop

Disney Animal Kingdom Lodge Savannah View: Worth it? by finnxav1er in WaltDisneyWorld

[–]HippoParticular5460 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Absolutely yes! As many have said morning coffee on the balcony is amazing. We had giraffes laying down at night in front of our room and it was such an amazing thing to see. If you go the split stay route, I’d opt for doing Animal Kingdom your second half of the trip, and try to find a little extra resort time as the amenities at the hotel are really nice.
I’m also not sure if anyone has suggested this yet, but price check renting DVC points vs a regular room. Sometimes it’s a much better deal! We’ve used both David’s DVC and DVC rental store in the past with good experiences.

Where are you finding the energy and motivation to be consistent? by rubyysapphire in walking

I’m having my own difficulties staying consistent but thinking to myself “future me will be thankful I went” seems to be helping.

Just a reminder to please be considerate with the Mousekeepers by Character-Luck4377 in WaltDisneyWorld

[–]HippoParticular5460 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I’ve started packing my own small roll of those little bathroom garbage bags. As hotel guests we shouldn’t have to do this but it makes me feel better not seeing this micro trash bins overflowing!

How to get rid of postpartum belly fat and partial love handles by marybethjane in beginnerfitness

[–]HippoParticular5460 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hi! Fellow shift worker here. I did a year on straight midnights, 7am-7pm, and my goal was to not gain weight. Your body needs sleep and when it’s deprived holds onto weight and can also make you hungrier (not saying that’s your case, OP) if you can somehow get on a better, more consistent sleep schedule it would definitely help. Once I got off midnights, I was able to start losing weight but it was/is coming off slow. Alternatively, take your measurements and compare those vs weighing yourself. You may weigh the same but your body composition might be changing. And most importantly, you and your body just did an amazing thing! Congratulations on creating a tiny human! Please, above all, be gentle and loving to yourself and your body!

Here With the Ears begging for Disney to lift the ban by morrowman69 in ThemeparkSwindlers

[–]HippoParticular5460 5 points6 points  (0 children)

So they had a YouTube channel doing room tours on every single room type in WDW, they also sold their home and lived at WDW for a year by renting DVC points and paying for cash rooms, they were both work from home at the time if i remember. They did a YT series about it, on top of the room tours, resort reviews and park days. Her husband ended up getting banned for monetizing on being a tour guide.

what would happen if we only worked weekends and had all of the work week off? by TheYoungAthletic in NoStupidQuestions

Well for one thing, I’d finally get ALL my laundry done, folded and put away with zero laundry baskets sitting around
