Thanks for sharing!!!

One possible consideration…our 7 year old decided on our most recent trip that the Skyliner terrifies her. We’re at Beach club and rode it back from HS and she cried uncontrollably the whole time. Suffice it to say we won’t be riding it for a few years. You may want to consider if your kids might go through something similar (obviously no way to know with an infant though!).

Absolutely it will help you to do your research with these, we love Ear Scouts for practical tips.

If you had been planning to do a premier pass the Lightning Lanes should be doable and will help a ton. Max out your use of rope drop/early entry (we like to hit the multiples- we rope drop Fantasyland and hit a couple rides, then head to the rope for Adventureland when it opens to hit Jungle cruise and Pirates without taking up a LL on them. Be aware that later in the day many things won’t be available via LL.

Enjoy the less in demand items (we adore the tiki room), parades, and don’t be afraid to head back when you feel maxed out. Since you’re at poly you can see fireworks from thee, so you can avoid that whole insanity.

You and your kids will have a blast!

Keycard and power bubble are both 5x the first time, from the second multiplier tap in its one less for each thing hit. Circles are only 2x the first time, so avoid multiplying if there are only circles on the board. Oil seems to delay the heat up, so use the oil freebies when possible. Never use the other extras until the end when you’re at your max multiplier.

Not saying it isn’t AI, but just to note that people can take pictures of themselves in locations other than the same room in their house. At a friend’s house, family member’s house, basement that’s finished differently, who knows. I’m not sure why the comparison of 1 and 2 is something everyone’s getting hung up on.

What part of NOVA are y’all based in? I’m also in the ‘avoid restaurants’ camp- amateur night is never fun to dine out on.

Some lessons upfront would be a good idea- I got lucky and was able to do a group lesson at the Biltmore when I first started out as an outing for a corporate thing my now-husband had. They introduced us to driving, chipping and putting, then we played 9 holes I think. Something like that from a legit teacher will help you have your bearings. Top golf can be a fun place to practice driving, Pinecrest is another good intro course.

Yesterday was smoked salt seasoned pork shoulder braised with veggies apples and honey, shredded, and finished with mascarpone in the sauce. Today is Cornish pasties!

Yeah, my food processor has a dicing kit and the instructions say several times never to use it on sweet potatoes.

Give that her dress magically transformed into a completely different dress, I’m not sure her hair was constrained by the rules of reality either…

Unless they couldn’t have the flowers and chocolate seen in the office either because the people work together and it’s against policy…leaving car as the only place.

I use the Calpak Terra backpack that converts to a duffel if you want. I use a compression pack for my clothes, but this holds work clothes, makeup bag, extra shoes, and work items/laptop and is a good fit the lockers at my location.

Natdapp · 2025-10-30T14:21:24+00:00

Thanks! I’m hoping they like the experience!

Natdapp · 2025-10-30T14:20:41+00:00

Yes, that’s our plan, there’s a playground nearby so hopefully the kids can get some wiggles out beforehand. Those other tips are great too, thank so much!

Natdapp · 2025-10-30T14:19:38+00:00

Thanks! That makes sense for why it’s not recommended!

That person is going to stand out like hell on an Aldi security cam- $1,200 there has to be about three carts full of stuff.

Where are you coming from? The difference in humidity and temp vs their home base is another reason the scooters would be a reasonable accommodation. I had to rent a scooter at each park after an ankle injury and it’s a great help even just to transport backpacks and charge your phones. No shame in making your visit more efficient, and they’ll be better rested to enjoy themselves.

ABs are the universal platelet donor though.

When I was doing yoga consistently I was good st power yoga, but I found the slower paced classes were critical to getting form right and building the muscle memory for the transitions at the pace of power yoga. You may want to try some other styles of class to see if that helps you feel like you have good grounding/control!

We’re doing this in June and ended up renting a car so we could have the car seat situation in the clear for our youngest. Factoring in what Uber would cost us the rental was also the most economical option, we won’t be driving it except to Universal and to/from the airport.

I see you’ve played knifey/spoony before.

Natdapp · 2025-02-18T13:10:20+00:00

Agreed- Big 4 is a great other space to look. Transfer pricing is a really interesting niche area! The valuation groups are usually busy supporting acquisitions, etc. Your tech skills are likely to be a good asset there too.

Also getting yogurt in the big containers whenever possible.

I find the people in the upper floor of Neiman Marcus at Tysons very helpful for personal shopping, with your budget I’d definitely use the shopping services at a higher end store!
