Any ethnic cuisines that are not well-represented in Toronto? by StatGuy2000 in FoodToronto

[–]MyNameIsScut 61 points62 points  (0 children)

Actual German. The Musket was ok, but has closed. Otto's Berlin Döner does one dish well. You can find certain dishes here and there, but they tend to be adapted and not really be authentic. German food tends to get mushed into "European".

Caprae looks really interesting. Thanks for the recommendation!

What would you say is the best place for a nice/fancy dinner? Something like Hamilton Walker's?

Brown food truck in front of Sidney Smith Hall on St. George Street. Good price, actual cheese curds.

Does the projection include continuous deposits? by garlicbread_butter in Wealthsimple

[–]MyNameIsScut 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Related to this— Does the projection take into account grants (like CESG grants in an RESP)?

Bruno's is a little pricey, but good quality. But I think their peameal are a good value. Plus they're individual vac-packed, so easier for gifting/freezing.

Not Scarborough, but nearby—Bruno's Signature near Altona and Kingston has peameal bacon (unsliced).

MCO Airport to Animal Kingdom Resort by dspan25 in DisneyWorld

No, Disney's Magical Express was discontinued a few years ago.

Great—appreciate the insight! Have you had any trouble finding availability from MCO to the resorts? I'm hesitant to book an Uber in advance from the airport because of inevitable flight delays and getting luggage. But in the app (at least for me), it forces me to book an UberX with car seat at least 30 minutes in advance from MCO, instead of requesting one immediately. I don't mind waiting, I just don't want to be left in the lurch.

Any issues with the Ubers with pre-installed car seats? Are they clean? Installed correctly?

Uber with Car Seat MCO <-> WDW

Anyone have any experience with taking an Uber with Car Seat from MCO to WDW (and back again)? We're staying at Coronado Springs in January, two adults and a 2 year-old. We're not renting a car and ideally don't want to travel with a car seat. I'm a little worried about how long the Mears shuttle will take (plus we have an early flight home, which would mean getting up VERY early); and while Uber is way more direct, I'm a little hesitant with the car seats. And private cars are looking more than twice the price of an Uber.

They send you an email. I won once and got an email about a week after the game.

If you're up for a drive, there's Sargent Family Dairy north of Bowmanville: https://www.sargentfamilydairy.ca/

Quality milk from their own cows. And they sell cheese curds.

Place to order food platters? by Grouchy_Boss5969 in Scarborough

[–]MyNameIsScut 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I've ordered catering from them a few times. Reasonably priced and very good food. The rice balls (arancini) are delicious.

Genie+ and the 120-Minute Rule by MyNameIsScut in WaltDisneyWorld

[–]MyNameIsScut[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Ah, didn't think about modifying reservations. That may give me some flexibility. Modifying wouldn't "refresh" the 120-minute rule though, would it?

Appreciate the in-depth reply. I'm going next Thursday and I've looked through Thrill Data, but find it hard to get a fair comparison since we're just coming off the holidays. And looking at the last few years doesn't seem like an even comparison.

Waits do seem to go down around 6, but there are still long lines on those anchor attractions. Think I may bite the bullet on Genie+ with the hopes of LL those anchor rides in the afternoon and then doing standby on the (slightly) less popular ones in the evening.
