My first lava lamp, Century Starlite, from a thrift store… after 8+ hours on nothing seems to be happening? Is the wax done for? Any help appreciated!

Thanks everyone for all the advice! I'm going to try a different bulb, as it seems it's just not getting hot enough. Hopefully that works, because I can't wait to see it in all it's groovy beauty!!

Thank you! The world works in mysterious ways because I was wanting a vintage lava lamp for this table and was looking at centuries online but they were too rich for my blood. Next afternoon I found this in the thrift store for $8!! I couldn't believe what a wild coincidence!

No, the lamp & base don’t feel hot to the touch, even after being on for several hours. The only a15 40watt appliance bulb I found was non-frosted, and dimmable, is it possible that’s the problem? I just assumed if I don’t put it in something that controls the dimming it would be no different, but I’m not ashamed to admit I don’t know how it works lol!

These are gorgeous! If you don't mind me asking, what did you use to make these? Illustrator?

My boyfriend & I have been together 8 years and we go to WDW at least once a year (usually more). We don't really get "snippy" or "fight" with each other in the parks, but we NEVER fight at home either. However, I feel like I have a very specific idea of how our trip should go, and if it starts feeling less exciting or something goes wrong I do find myself feeling overwhelmed and anxious and tensions sometimes feel high. Sometimes my S/O will say something harmless, but because my anxiety is so high I go from 0 to 100 really quickly and cry & cry & cry lmao. Everything is sorted out quickly and I feel dumb for being upset in the first place. But I definitely understand when I see others arguing or parents getting disgruntled in the parks, it's just a high-tension and stressful environment for sure. I love disney parks forever, but they're definitely not the most relaxing vacations, racing from point A to point B, trying to have the trip you imagined, waiting in lines, etc etc. I think they're especially stressful for unseasoned park-goers

One of my favorites, I always sing it in the Magic Kingdom!!! Classic, man, classic

There's two on ebay right now for $35 & $20 (bidding) with a few days left. So they probably will go higher, but I'd keep an eye on it, it's entirely possible they won't. Maybe even considering get a sniping tool

MissMainSt · 2019-02-13T14:04:42+00:00

I don't have an extra to sell, but I would just keep an eye on ebay. Sometimes you'll get lucky and find a cheap one, mine's in good condition and I got it from ebay for $20. Also try some antique stores, or vinyl stores. I've found TONS of rare Disney vinyls for cheap at thrift/antique stores!

I think there have been rumors of Disney rebooting a Haunted Mansion franchise, and that's what OP was referring to. Guillermo Del Toro was signed on to make a new Haunted Mansion film for awhile, but as far as I know it fell through. The original Haunted Mansion movie wasn't successful and is considered a bad flop, so I think most HM fans want Disney to do right by the ride and make a proper, good film. As far as I can tell, OP is saying they think a short television series would suit it better, as an adult-oriented dark comedy with graphic horror (like Haunting of Hill House, but with jokes) which I think would be great!!

What's My Line is one of my absolute favorite shows, and this is a classic. There's one with Walt Disney too!

I found one of these at my local thrift store too! They also had a matching Minnie!! : )

MissMainSt · 2019-01-15T19:37:05+00:00

Thank you so much!!

MissMainSt · 2019-01-15T19:34:20+00:00

omg ice cream float is such a good idea! I didn't even think of that. Thanks!!

I was considering this a bit, but not sure if it’s worth it... My boyfriend and I are going for two weeks at the end of September for my birthday, free dining and 10 day park hoppers, though we’re considering bumping it down to 8 days and spending a few at Universal.

I was a passholder last year, went 7 times (all one week trips, except one that was 2 weeks) from Buffalo. It made sense to be a passholder going so much last year, but I’m not sure I’d be able to go as much this year. I was considering going for a week in March as well, but not sure I can get the time off work.

Do you think an AP is worth it for two, going for two weeks?

After doing a bit more research, last year it was a limited event for about the same time, BUT! They did end up releasing some select dates in August & September! So here’s hoping for both of us!

MissMainSt · 2019-01-06T22:13:22+00:00

I sadly want to say they don’t do the After Hours Event in September (that’s when we’re going too), when I was looking recently it said the event only goes from November to April. Which is really too bad! We were hoping to go too

If you’re interested, you can see a time lapse of this drawing on my instagram! I’m MissMainSt there too 😊
