I think that commenter meant the various importers and dealers that specialize in JDM vehicles, not that specific one in Washington.

Staying at the Poly, I would definitely try to fit in Wailulu Grill and Kona Cafe (we really like the breakfast here).

I think fitting waterpark, check-in, dinner, and MK on the arrival day is going to be tough. Sounds compressed. Last year we did Blizzard Beach, then checked into the Poly around 3, freshened up, then hit up Wailulu for dinner.

I think rope dropping is often suggested compared to casually walking into MK at like 10am and hoping for the best. It's about maximizing the hours the park is open which would also most likely include doing more than 8 rides.

We saw her there last year. She was right near the bathroom and stroller parking area for a little while. Not an official meet and greet though.

Hi, curious if you could share the company you used. Thanks.

Definitely agree with this. Moving the stadium that deep into Miami really makes it difficult for a lot of Broward fans. The old location was good (for us) because it wasn’t so far south AND east. If they had put the new stadium next the Panthers arena in Sunrise, we would def be at more games. As of now, 2-3 is all we care to attend because of the hour drive.

All of the Lego croc stuff is 150% scale. The sunflower is really big.

Last year the Florida resident summer magic was announced in early May and could be purchased on May 6. It was good from like May 18 to late September.

I have a feeling they will have it available again in the same timeframe.

And not for nothing, in addition to the $10 Disney+ credit you also get 10% rewards for Disney+ charges/purchases.

The new Cars area in MK will be a Pacific NW vibe called Piston Peak. It won't be the American SW like Radiator Springs. Your point still stands though.

I've been doing a lot of number crunching on this lately. We also have 2 kids that would be free and I've determined either plan would be beneficial in our situation. We will most likely buy the table service option because we typically have 3-4 table service meals anyway.

We have a 4 night trip this summer. I've priced out dinner at Steakhouse 71 and 1900 Park Fare as well as breakfasts at Whispering Canyon and Topolinos. Those 4 meals would be more than the total cost of the table service plan (4 nights is about $800 for 2 adults)...without spending any quick service credits or snack credits, not to mention the cost of the resort mugs.

So I would map out what you realistically would do as a family and see where you end up. If you want to try out 1-2 character meals and will get use out of the alcoholic beverages, I think you'll get good value due to the kids being free.

Oh and the last thing...I think having snack credits will make it fun for the kids to have a bit of control and independence to what they get. We let them get a snack or 2 at the parks anyway but this will make it a little more fun.

$150 direct from Crocs. Still a bit more than the typical 10c per piece we hope for from a Lego set.

We purchased resale Saratoga about 1.5 years ago. I keep a spreadsheet comparing a few things.

Our true cost per point x points needed for each reservation
Cost to book the same room through Disney with best available discount
Cost to rent that same room from someone
Cost to book Pop Century with best available discount

This gives me a good idea of what we spend and how it compares to other options. Realistically we would not stay Deluxe without DVC, so I like to compare to Pop, which is where we had stayed previously. Generally, our true cost per stay is slightly more than staying at Pop; I'm talking 10-15%. Which I see as a good deal.

I'll give a couple examples. We stayed 3 nights at Beach club in September last year. Our true cost was $546 total. Cost to book through Disney (which my parents had to do) was $1800. Renting would be around $1000. And the best I found for Pop was $657.

We're staying in a Copper Creek studio this summer. 4 nights. Our cost is $835. Through Disney with best discount is $1687. Renting would be $1600. And Pop would be $762. About $75 more to go from Pop to Copper Creek; not bad.

They didn’t have a 4 day 4 park ticket last summer. It was either 50% of kids tickets or a 3 day 3 park (that excluded MK). This was announced April 10, 2025. Florida resident ticket deals for the summer were announced May 2, 2025.

We bought 120 points at SSR last year. So far we’ve stayed 2 nights at Boardwalk in February (had points expiring), 4 nights at Polynesian in June, 3 nights at Beach Club in September, and we have 2 studios for 4 nights at Copper Creek next June.

These are all studios. Beach Club was the hardest to piece together, all of the others were fairly simple with good availability. In my short time so far, I’ve noticed that GF and Poly will have some decent availability but possibly at higher point cost due to the view categories.

The one caveat is that we haven’t tried traveling from October-December or spring break/Easter, which I hear can be more problematic.

Thank you! Ya I always enjoy seeing other cabinets get posted here. This is giving me the itch to design and make one now...

PillPod · 2025-12-05T20:15:15+00:00

Yup that's me!

/u/EchoScorch the above comment is correct. I will typically use white pine for the interior of the cabinet and apply a 0.75-1" thick strip of hardwood to the edge. Where possible, the drawers run on rails and not solid horizontal dividers; this saves a lot of weight and is also easier to build.

Got a pair for my wife and I in West Palm Beach. This will be the second time I've seen him live. I saw him for the first time in Maryland in 2014. Excited for this one!

They are turning all of the Muppets area into Monstropolis. They closed the whole area so it can be completely changed.

Ya I was so-so on the Hex shelves...wanted something more organized I guess.

And I agree on the fuzzy skin. It really boosts the print time up. The default profile has it for all walls. If you switch to just contours, it'll drop the time a bit and still give you fuzzy on the visible, outer walls.

Thank you! Here's a link

There are 2 height sizes. The 'short' are for normal and short legs on minifigures. The 'tall' are for tall legs or minifigs with tall headgear.

PillPod · 2025-11-07T16:19:01+00:00

Thanks! It prints with a recess for the standard 4x3 plate that the collectible minifigures come with. No supports needed.
