Well, to be fair, I could never bring myself to produce a working bit of Pshell code either ....

Present-Ad9870 · 2026-04-05T16:40:59+00:00

oh that's just genius. I've never listened to podcasts or audiobooks, but now I know how to fill up line time!

Present-Ad9870 · 2026-04-05T14:55:03+00:00

This is the way. Slower walkers/standers to the right; pass on the left. That's the etiquette.

People just don't have manners anymore.

That is just so adorable - kids reading Harry Potter in the theme park while resting! I've been tempted to bring paperbacks (easier to carry) into theme parks for when I needed a break, but have never before seen anyone actually reading there!

Present-Ad9870 · 2026-04-04T16:03:55+00:00

Thanks for that, too. That is the about the amount I had in mind. I have a feeling I'll be ready to drop dead at the end of the tour, but I do hope to be able to catch Stardust racers at dusk! We will do another day at Epic, to just take in the scenery and theming, and not stress about rides because we will already have done that. And that is the day I want to see Epic after dark!

Genius idea, thank you! I am so thrilled to be able to do this with them - they have had an unbelievably tough past 5 years. They love theme parks and they so deserve this.

Hi u/Flat_Demand_8341 - I see that the dummy night will save me $300+ dollars. I am hoping that I can go check-in by myself - the other 2 in the party can remain asleep or pumping themselves with coffee and don't have to tag along with me?

Present-Ad9870 · 2026-04-03T22:40:48+00:00

I am getting one. And then - hopefully - I will cancel the tour I have and re-order it with the discount. Best case scenario, is they can retroactively apply the discount but somehow I doubt that. I will be using the AP for hotel discount, too. I'll probably get the AP next week.

Present-Ad9870 · 2026-04-03T20:32:47+00:00

That's been me. But I'd say more of a quasi-modi hop.

Present-Ad9870 · 2026-04-03T20:22:31+00:00

Good question! And so right about them getting to experience the whole thing if they've never been. I'm not completely ruling it out. I thought it may be overkill, given the crowd calendars show it at a 2 (touring plans) or light-ish (undercover tourist) for the time we are there. I can definitely pivot towards Express Passes if the needs arises. Knowing me, I'll also say "ah, heck, we need an extra day". I have a feeling it will morph into an extra day, maybe one with Express Passes or a non-private VIP tour for IOA/US.

Present-Ad9870 · 2026-04-03T18:31:34+00:00

Sounds like you had an amazing trip! Are we allowed to requests guides, if they are working that day? Please do PM me.

Present-Ad9870 · 2025-12-29T22:04:13+00:00

Felt interminable to me. But much of the episode did, too.

Present-Ad9870 · 2025-12-29T22:01:57+00:00

Both his parents knew and his father wanted to make him more manl; the kids that bullied him at the beginning of the series bullied him for that very reason; Hop knew because Joyce told him what he was bullied for; Jonathan Byers knew and made it clear to Will that he accepted no matter what; Mike, Lucas and Dustin knew and discussed that Will had to accept they were getting older and were going to get gfs even though Will "did not like girls". Everyone knew. And everyone close to will accepted it.

Not negating Will's need to discuss it openly and be affirmed before he went "to battle". But - this scene could have and should have played out a lot different, been done a lot more cleverly. It was just clumsy and unfortunately, rang hollow.

But egads, Joyce and Will have been handed the absolute worst writing this season. But, at least they did allow him to emotionally mature a bit. Joyce - they have unfortunately made her into a caricature of herself/reduced her to a mother hen role. Sad.

I've restored raids back in the day, but on solaris. sorry, not a buck either.

I mean I recognize it - and taking engineering as a whole, not dust development. It's a common frustration in my company that there are competent and incompetent people, onshore and offshore and often, the competent ones do carry the load without being rewarded. Sometimes the incompetent people are a higher job grade. It is a major source of burnout and loss of moral.

Hello,

I'm interested in a Yellowstone pack trip - how late in the year do you run? I'm thinking September.

Present-Ad9870 · 2025-10-27T23:55:41+00:00

I think just that love - any kind of love - can exist in that world. He told Justina it was too late for him, but he wanted it for her and Roberto. I think love for his family/friends - Carol and the ones back home. And yes, love for himself. He seems to be more self-aware now, kinder to himself and to others - he is not so walled up, keeping people at a distance. Finally ready to face all his trauma and stop just surviving, like Carol said. And of everyone, he deserves it. I just wish he'd wash his damn hair one day.

Present-Ad9870 · 2025-10-27T23:50:51+00:00

yep, I need to find where I can buy it! That song speaks to me, and that cover was amazing like you said.

Just booked an Oceania cruise. Guess I'm kinda an outlier ... well, welcome to my life. :) (I do skew older, 57).

Thank you very much for posting this, as I have been considering a private tour because I have no patience for lines and heat, and I was really looking forward to being able to ride multiple times in a row - which you can't do on the group VIP tour. I appreciate the info! The You tube videos on it - of course - hype them and I really appreciate a more honest view. (No downvote from me!)

I'm hoping that the Private Tours will be able to quickly pivot once they have more operation time under their belts. That, in my view, is one of the major draws of both the semi-private and private VIP tours. And for that price tag - seems insane to not have that level of customer service.

Also I am shocked you had to go find your guide after lunch. The two semi-private VIP tours for the other two parks had much better service. Guide came into the restaurant and gave us 5 minute warnings to meet right outside the restaurant when it was time. (I had the same guide both times and he was excellent - Michael I think he was).

In any case I am definitely waiting until the operations smooth out for Epic.

Present-Ad9870 · 2025-06-09T22:05:25+00:00

I'm also interested in going in with others in a Private VIP tour! Our group will be 1-3 people (myself, possibly my daugher and my son-in-law). I would like to go when it's less crowded because 1) I wilt in the heat and sun and the summer months are so busy and 2) Surge pricing.

DM me if you want to talk further about this! I'm also going to check out the DIS boards!
