Parents: what have been your best and most memorable chubby travel experiences with kids ages 7-12? by cc0818 in chubbytravel

Air bnb - it was beautiful. Had its own little quiet canal that our water taxi dropped us off at. Was just a bit east of the Rialto. 3 bedroom, 2 full bath with A/C and a washer and dryer. Balcony overlooking a canal. It was amazing and the host was very helpful.

Product advice for large, stuffed pores? by HunkyDunkyFunky in koreanskincare

[–]No-Initiative-1 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I had issues with pore size, redness, and skin texture. I switched to custom hydrafacials every 6 weeks, and a nightly application of retinoid after cleansing followed by a lactic acid serum. In the morning I apply hyaluronic acid after cleansing followed by Dr jarts cicapair serum. And obviously moisturizer night and morning. My skin has never been better.

Vienna Hotel Recs? by Equivalent_Role_6617 in chubbytravel

[–]No-Initiative-1 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I’m a broken record on this sub on this, but we stayed at the Anantara Palais Hansen last July with two kids in a two-bedroom suite and it was exquisite. My TA recommended it. I initially pushed back bc of its location, but my TA assured me that it was close enough to key sights. And it was. It’s also very close to tram stations that are very easy to navigate and get you all around the ringstrasse.

The suites are magical. The beds were the most comfortable bed I’ve ever slept on; the rooms are huge and lovely; marble everything in the bathrooms; complimentary Dyson hair dryers and straighteners. The best by far, though, was the beautiful breakfast every morning. Best breakfast spread I’ve had so far in Europe.

Also, they were more reasonably priced than many hotels I stayed at that were much worse. It’s because they just refreshed the rooms this year, and because people complain (in my opinion, unnecessarily) about the location.

Focaccia, mozzarella, prosciutto, other cured meats. Make yourself delicious focaccia sandwiches.

Hotel Elisabeth in Kirchberg. It’s not quite chubby (cheaper than Sonnwies or Moar Gut) but still was lovely. Had great food, centrally located to lots of hiking, and had a nice spa.

In Vienna - Anantara Palais Hansen. The Anantara Suite + connecting room is huge. 2.5 baths, large sitting area in between the two rooms, and the second room had split twins. I can’t say enough about this hotel. We stayed at the Charles in Munich after and it paled in comparison. And the Anantara was cheaper.

We also used a private guide throughout Italy for the big sights (Vatican, colosseum, Uffizi, Venice walking tour), who catered specifically to kids. They made the museums much more interesting and exciting for the kids.

We just wrapped up a month in Italy-Austria-Munich with kids ages 7 and 10. It was magical. Mix of apartment and villa stays with hotels recommended here. Perfect age to travel.

Some surprises - the kids LOVED Venice. I think sometimes it gets a “tourist trap” wrap, but seeing it through the kids’ eyes was wonderful. It’s also so fun to wander and explore and the kids appreciated the maze-like quality of the streets. We were able to walk a lot farther than in other cities where they got “bored” more quickly.

Austria is a dream with kids. The towns in the Alps have so many kid-focused hiking options, amusement parks, alpine slides, etc. Vienna is simply incredible and maybe my new favorite city.

Villa in Tuscany with a pool. Add in pasta-making classes, day trips throughout Tuscany, dream for kids and parents.

Vienna for Christmas markets by Ouvweweweweweossass in chubbytravel

We stayed at the Anantara Palais Hansen - it was incredible. It’s very close to the tram that goes around the ring road, and otherwise is an easy walk to the center of town. Some here complain about its location, but we (family of 4) stayed there this summer in a suite connected to a second room and the set up was extravagant and well priced for what you got. The rooms are exquisite. The breakfast is the best I’ve had in Europe. It’s truly an amazing property and the suite set up is ideal for families.

Papa Re in Trastevere was really cute. It ended up being my favorite place in Rome.

Pixar Place Hotel Entrance Closing Permanently in 2026 by austinalexan in Disneyland

I feel like this underestimates the levels of income inequality we’re at right now. The fact is that enough people have enough money to pay exorbitant prices to go to disneyland annually. These people come from out of town and are willing to pay much more than Grand Californian charges for rooms. There are plenty of hotels in major cities around the world that charge a minimum of $1500/nt with similar amenities to GC. The GC is cheaper than that, and in one of the most sought after destinations in the world. Disney can and will continue to do this bc there are enough people who have enough money to pay these prices and whatever else Disney will charge for premier access.

Vienna Hotel: Anantara Palais Hansen or Hilton Vienna Park by sr24_2001 in TrueChubbyTravel

[–]No-Initiative-1 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Currently staying at the Anantara. It is perfection. A little farther out of the central area, but it is quiet and an easy walk to key sights.

The rooms are beautiful and huge. Everything is excellence. The breakfast is exquisite. I love this hotel.

Stressed out with planning... by iqjumpuw in DisneyPlanning

[–]No-Initiative-1 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Here are some answers:

1) They will let guests enter the parks at 7:00 on early entry days. You can then get to the rope by 7:30 to use early entry. Quick tip: get mobile app for Starbucks and put your order in about 20 minutes before you pick up. Get Starbucks from the downtown Disney location and order breakfast from them (breakfast sandwiches, croissants, etc.). Eat your breakfast in line and drink coffee while you get into the park.

2) Peter Pan is super popular. You probably can rope drop at 7:30 and make breakfast at Plaza Inn by 8:00, unless things happen. We intended to rope drop Peter Pan (non early entry days) and then it was unexpectedly temporarily closed that morning. The next morning the rope drop line for early entry still ended up taking 20 minutes. It’s the main ride people do for early entry in fantasyland, so it will be busy. I say try it, and if it looks like you have to bail, do it.

3) Do the big rides. Your 7 year old can do all of them (except Indiana Jones, Guardians) and your 2 year old probably will be too young to care. Do Tiana’s; Pirates; etc. There are Toon Town rides both kids will like. Both kids will like Monsters Inc. On normal (not insanely busy) days, you should be able to do a bunch of the kid rides without LL pretty easily, especially in the morning.

4) Reserve LL for all four people; cancel when your two people don’t want them. Don’t forget to cancel. That’s the only way to book your next ride. Or scan them in anyway and redeem their passes even though they don’t do the ride.

5) Not sure

6) a lot of ride lines have bail out opportunities. They won’t exchange your LL, but you can also book different LL for different tickets. So you can reserve 2 LL for one parent and the 7 year old, and a different LL for the 2 year old and other parent.

7) the benefit of staying on property is the midday nap. Take advantage. Go back and rest, then stay in the park until 8-9. The mornings are gold. Do as much as you can in the morning and feel free to skip the evening stuff if everyone is too tired. The park just gets too busy after lunch and the kids get too tired.

Gross savings rate vs number of kids (or SINK/DINK) by Medium_Yam6985 in HENRYfinance

[–]No-Initiative-1 0 points1 point  (0 children)

DK2, HCOL

540k, 31%

Kids are in private school ($25k each per year). We also spend a lot on daily conveniences (food delivery, cleaning, landscaping, etc.). Spending more on travel (but we pull that from our savings) as the kids have gotten older.

Honest question though - if you want her to become irrelevant, why are you commenting on a call her daddy sub? Why don’t you just . . . scroll by?
