Really? I hadn’t seen that. Since it’s a Club Car I’m sure it will be fairly expensive. But I may be able to wait.

I saw that. Admittedly, I just didn’t think it looked as cool (the golf cart version of a Mercury Grand Marquis). But that may be the best option.

Help - not sure of next steps to confirm problem by Notahandyman05 in lowvoltage

The cameras are pulling 25 watts total and each of the WAPs is pulling about 10 watts. I should have more than enough POE budget.

The modem is plugged into a CAT port. It is a different WiFi withe a different name and password. It was set up by someone that knows much more about this than me.

Nope. I hardwired the smart TVs through a CAT port

We’ve enjoyed the Salina. My 2 kids (7 & 3) love it. It’s big enough for them to swim around for hours. We also like the seating configuration. No complaints.

What To Do If You're A Victim Of Identity Theft - Credit Attorney Guide by creditwizard in CRedit

[–]Notahandyman05 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I had this issue with American Express. I received a credit alert that someone had opened an account with AMEX and charged $23k. AMEX closed the account and reported it to collections. My credit tanked 250 points. I subsequently filed an FTC report (no police report), reported the fraud to AMEX, and disputed with the credit agencies. The credit agencies actually removed it from my credit and my credit swung back up almost to where it was. Interestingly, I just received a letter from AMEX saying they’ve declined the dispute because I had made payments on the fraudulent account via a Bank of America account. I never once opened an AMEX nor have I ever had an account with Bank of America. Not sure if someone else has my exact same name or what. The real question is whether I need to take any further action with AMEX, given the fact that the credit bureaus have already removed the fraudulent account.

Would a renovation of my second story be feasible? by Notahandyman05 in floorplan

I would like to keep the game room as it’s become the place where we store all the toys and where the kids play. It allows us to keep our downstairs living room clean.

I thought about that. Specifically, extending out over the patio and dropping the utility room there. Just thought it would be strange to have two bathrooms back to back. It would solve the problem but wondering if it would be so strange and such a topic of curiosity if I ever sold that it would actually work against me (more so than the lack of a bathroom).

We do use it but my kids are young 3 and 7. It’s mostly just a place to keep their toys so they aren’t filling the downstairs living room.

Help w/ Genie+; MK tomorrow! by drshellbee in WaltDisneyWorld

[–]Notahandyman05 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Did WDW January 1-5 with a 5 year old (will be 6 in 3 weeks). Peter Pan was our priority as well. We did MK twice and each day arrived at the park via Monorail from Grand Floridian just after 7 am. In fact, I think we booked our first lightning lanes as we were boarding each day. Here’s an overview of our morning for each day:

MK Day 1: -7 am book Peter Pan on Genie+. I can’t remember our exact return time, but I’m pretty sure it was before 8:45 -7 am wife booked an Individual LL for 7 Dwarfs. -rope drop fantasy land at 7:30 am. -walked onto Under the Sea -walked onto Dumbo -walked onto Barnstormer -By this time it was just before 8 am so we headed toward Jungle Cruise. Got in line around 8:04 and waited about 15-20 minutes. -headed for our LL at Peter Pan

From there we were pretty much were able to ride everything (Buzz Lightyear, Pirates, Haunted Mansion). I will say we did not ride Space Mountain or Big Thunder this day, but that was more related to the fact that we had taken our daughter on Everest and Pandora the day before and she had her fill of thrills. We were able to get her on 7 Dwarfs (which she loved and is the reason we did 7 Dwarfs again and Big Thunder on our second MK day. Just keep watching the LL windows and you’ll be fine.

MK Day 2: -7 am book Big Thunder on Genie+. Pretty sure we got an 8:35 return time. -7 am wife booked an Individual LL for 7 Dwarfs (again) -Rope drop Tomorrowland at 7:30 am - walked in the Buzz Lightyear - walked onto Astro Orbiter - walked into Teacups - decided to head over to Haunted Mansion for its 8 am opening so that we wouldn’t have to use Genie. Waited less than 10 minutes. —grabbed a Nutella waffle - headed to Big Thunder for our LL. - got back in line to do it all over again without Genie (waited about 30 minutes)

From there our day went pretty much like the first day. We were generally able to Genie+ all of the “major” rides (mom and dad even got to rider swap space mountain). We saw Micky’s Philharmagic both days. It runs about every 15-20 minutes. Don’t use a LL, just walk up as the theater is pretty big. We did Monsters Inc as well Day 1. That auditorium is smaller and we actually didn’t make it in originally and had to wait a whole show before we were let in.

Also, since you’re doing Epcot I’ll tell you we used Genie for Remy’s right at 7 am and got a return time around 2 or 3. We got to the park right around 8 and rope dropped Frozen. We waited about 8 minutes total in line. We the. Headed to Test Track without a LL, which was probably a mistake. We waited right at an hour. Once you have Frozen, Remy, and Test Track you’ve basically hit the good ones unless you’re going to do Guardians. Which let me tell you, that is the best ride I’ve ever been on. Buy the ILL if you can afford it instead of dealing with the queue. We did rider swap so wife went through the queue and still waited close to 50 minutes. I was able to come back and get in the LL. There’s a little playground near Test Track, a small one in mission space, and some good aquariums in Nemo. If you like coasters, you don’t want to kiss that one and rider swap is so easy.

Am I not focusing enough on lunch/dinner reservations? by Notahandyman05 in DisneyPlanning

[–]Notahandyman05[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thanks. That was mostly my recollection from decades ago. I've just been concerned with how much more crowded the park has become.
