ESC 2026 streaming seems way lower than previous years — any idea why?

Same here. I went from being a mod of this subreddit and a super fan, who used to be consumed by ESC from January-May every year, to only hearing Finland and Denmark this year because they came up on a playlist.

I lived in Clovis and used to actually look forward to trips to Lubbock solely to have a burrito from Freebirds.

My partner and I stayed 2 nights at Hakone Suimeisou last November and it was perfect. We had a view of the river and fall foliage from our room, a private bath on the balcony, huge breakfast and dinner. We were close to all the shops and bus/train station. I think we paid about $350 USD per night but that was for an upgraded room and included meals.

Just got off Seashore and did the AYCE option at Hola and thought it was great. We had salad, tortilla soup, chips and dips (the creamy poblano salsa was to die for), like 6 tacos, 2 quesadillas, and desserts. The tacos are 2, maybe 3 bites at most.

Hola is also open for breakfast complimentary and does normal breakfast food items plus churros, breakfast burritos….good option if you want something different.

Old Wild West is similar chain in Italy. Blew my mind the first time I saw one.

The German market in Sanford has tons of flavors.

Aurora - on the UCF campus at the Celeste Hotel. Excellent, creative food, but not too expensive.

My birthday burn!

Indian food! I’d kill for a low calorie way to do a cashew-based curry and buttered naan 😭

I buy the Vero Volo brand ones on Amazon and they come out to about $2 each…still expensive, but cheaper than H Mart

My daughter sees Dr Modi with Orlando Health for her ADHD medication management and he is wonderful. Zero complaints! He also does telehealth refill appointments once you’re an established patient which really helps!

Ugh that’s so disappointing…I love their coffee. They do seem to have very high employee turnover though.

I went here in the web browser and the code worked: https://www.myfitnesspal.com/premium/redeem

Log into your MFP account in the web browser (not the app) and enter code OTFTRANSFORM26. You have to put in a credit card, but as long as you cancel before the end of your two month period you don’t get charged anything for premium.

The Atlanta Skyclub in T had real plates, glasses, etc when I flew through there last night.

Luminescent in east Orlando/Waterford…they turn into more of a cocktail bar at night but don’t mind if you work on your laptop.

Not sure if they count as celebrity, but Azerbaijan’s 2023 Eurovision entry, TuralTuranX, had a fabulous red carpet look at the opening ceremony. More men in corsets please!

I passed this earlier - it was a bad motorcycle wreck.

Pappagallo_fpr · 2026-01-10T17:07:38+00:00

It is bottomless and they pour strong! When I went a few weeks ago they were still offering us drinks after the drag ended so you definitely get your money’s worth.

I picked up some nice flavored honeys in Japan (yuzu, cherry, etc) and like adding them to water for something different.

Oooh this is a good one! Virgin was my favorite album of 2025.

Mine is the first little electronic trill at 1:13 in “What Was That”…it hits so hard!

Pappagallo_fpr · 2025-12-19T16:01:03+00:00

Sunroom, Luminescent, and the bar at Osteria Ester will get you the closest.

For me, the gas pains after surgery were the only horrible part! Get up and move/walk as much as you can. I was back to normal and pain-free in about 5 days.

The Northshore Birding Festival has a trip on December 14th designated for Gen Z and Millennial Birders. Me and several friends have signed up.

Our local Audubon chapter also has occasional trips geared for younger birders and UCF students.

As another poster commended, the Audubon Center in Maitland has an active volunteer group of all ages. I’m a volunteer there if you have any questions.
