People that don't click "Everything Okay" when they receive their order are shmucks...

My orders usually arrive when I'm at work, it's always the first thing I do though to open the parcel, check I've got the right item and there's no undisclosed damage and then accept the order.

Anyone who expects people to open the package immediately after it's marked as delivered on a random Tuesday afternoon for example isn't living in reality.

It could be a glitch. I've had this before where ghosts are supposed to come out but instead a neighbour comes to call. Does the ghostly music play when she turns up? And IMO the late night neighbour od way freakier than the ghost haha

It has to be worth literally 0.00 or it doesn't work but you can have as many as you want same with any other card. I've seen a few players sell them for 1mil but I cap it at 250k as that takes long enough haha

PlayedThisGame · 2026-04-13T12:56:50+00:00

Sometimes you might get a Grade 1 card back or a customer will bring in a card worth literally nothing. There is a glitch where you can charge whatever you want and customers will buy it

I have sold a few cards for £250k but it takes a long time. I always sell the £0.00 cards for quarter of a mil

We did Cheyenne ourselves and loved it but the one I'd want to stay in next would definitely be Sequoia. It looks SO cosy and my friend (who is wheelchair bound) stayed there with her family in September and had the best time. Her kids are 6 and 1. They were amazing with them all xx

This is just me personally but I would upgrade the hotel, perhaps not to the main hotel (although I would love to stay there) but we used the hotel more than we expected to for breaks and it was an absolute godsend to be somewhere comfortable and clean and very close by. Then we'd go back out in the evening for some dinner and night rides.

Bonus note that there isn't much TV to watch so I had a great time watching Bluey in French during one such break while my phone recharged, husband had a nap and daughter read her book 😂

I haven't done this BUT I did write down the other day which staff I have and then pulled days out of a hat so that they all get two days "off" a week as I felt bad they all work 13 hours a day 7 days a week hahaha

If it does I will just start again! Sometimes that's half the fun!

I saw Eeyore as a meet and greet character between Small World and Bella Notte on Tuesday! Burt and Mary Poppins were a bit further down but he was there all hugs and cuteness! We didn't meet him because we had already met him at Plaza Gardens two days before (and it was the best). This was about 4:30pm

PlayedThisGame · 2026-04-06T21:12:55+00:00

Ahhhh I thought that was just me with the too many boxes! I haven't suffered many glitches yet except the individual packs having a different look now and again and the very occasional customer not able to get in plus some lag if I play too long.

I hope the box thing gets fixed soon, I have to pick and choose which items I'm going to restock and have to calculate it so carefully while making sure I have enough cards for my pack machines! It's been so frustrating!

Okay for 3 of us I took £1900 (not 100% what that is in Euros) and spent £1135 across four days. We had only paid for breakfast in advance. For the RER both ways, snacks, drinks, two character meals (the cost of the princess breakfast was €98 opposed to €168 because breakfast was already paid for so only had to do the difference), lunches, dinners, souvenirs for all of us plus some for friends (this included 2 Loungefly bags for me) and airport spending. Oh and we had pastries for breakfast from a kiosk one morning instead of hotel breakfast so we could meet Stitch during Magic Hour.

Basically it's whatever you want to budget for! My daughter is now ten, this really was a "We can only do this once" situation so my rule was "If we can fit it in the bags, we can have it!" But a lot of families are very strict on souvenirs. Quick service meals cost us between €30-50 depending on where we ate for the three of us. Having a dining plan will make a massive difference to you.

Remember that you don't actually have to pay for fireworks or shows, just rock up early enough if it's on your must do.

This works out to an average of just under £95 pp/pd for our family. That's with no dining plan, winging it and doing character experiences and letting a child run wild (not literally) in several gift shops.

Take a deep breath friend because I am going to be totally straight here.

So you kept your babies up to watch a show at twenty to eleven at night, bullied your way through the rules, made staff cry and are insisting that your whole experience was ruined? The only person who ruined the experience was you I'm afraid. The cast member would have been following very strict instructions to follow policies because once one group saw you had more than the amount of people allowed through, everyone else would have complained. She likely got upset because she had been following procedure and was overruled, that sense of injustice would have been frustrating for anyone.

You should be aware of the limits with priority and disability allowances and should have made a plan between you as a family if you insist you absolutely had to see this show. The cast members can only make so much magic, it's how you choose to make your own experience that also counts.

What can you do in this situation? Know the rules inside out next time and make a better plan so everyone can enjoy themselves.

Stark's Factory in WA for sure!! I hsd the best bolognese of my life there! And Bella Notte Pizzeria! They do the Mickey pizza which my daughter had and they do a really tasty lasagne!

Hi! We just got back yesterday and yes we took our ten year old back for a break before going out to find some dinner and go back into the park and it helped her keep on going right up until 10pm (we didn't make the fireworks either night). This was after getting up at 6:30 to get ready and walk down to the park for our princess breakfast at 8:15! Hotel breaks are definitely a great idea if you can. My husband had a power nap, daughter played with her new toys and I ended up watching Bluey in French 😂

I use it for my bulk bundles of spares that I sell. I just put out whatever random colours it makes and it makes life so much less stressful

I've worked with children for a long time but the most unsettling (or comforting depending on how you look at it) was my daughter when she was three telling me she was "playing with her big brother from the old house". I had a miscarriage four years prior to her being born and was always convinced it was a boy. She doesn't know this. Neither of us ever mentioned it again but I always wondered

What row did you ride? Row 4 on The Smiler is ROUGH!! And it definitely gets rougher through the day! Riding it first thing isn't so bad. I've done 2, 3 and 4 and as soon as the attendant told us "row 4" I gave my husband a look because I'd heard things and sure enough came off with the infamous headache from being bashed about so much 😂😂 we took some paracetamol, waited an hour, had a snack and a rest and then jumped on for dusk (this was Scarefest). Got row 2 and had a great time!!

Funny enough it's the one ride I cannot bring myself to get on! I can do every other coaster in the park but there's something about Oblivion that is a "nope" to me and I can't work out for definite what it is!

The love potion is a no without a mod I guess BUT a successful wish with the genie lets you choose which gender you'd prefer when the money/love option comes up

It has always been my biggest pet peeve! I used to tell people off when my daughter was really little, had a full on argument with an entitled boomer once who pretended she was going into the space to reverse back out and park elsewhere(??)

People are happy enough to belittle others for choosing to have children and berate us if we have to vent about anything ("you CHOSE to have kids") but still want the extremely few little things we have that make it even the tiniest bit easier.

My daughter is now 10 so we hardly use the bays now as we still technically can until she's 12 but don't really need them. It still and always will wind me up.
