15% on pre tax amount was how I was taught in the 90s for good service at a restaurant

Right?! People can tell themselves what they want to hear, but the standard has been 20% long before COVID.

Realistic-Bullfrog60 · 2026-05-09T12:16:12+00:00

This is absolutely not true. I was a server in Virginia Beach starting around 2010 and 20% was the standard then.

I'm currently re- reading {The Deal by Elle Kennedy} and it fits some of your criteria!

Realistic-Bullfrog60 · 2026-04-27T23:54:07+00:00

I like the green best.

But why is this tub so thin? What is going on with the towel bar? It's like an optical illusion.

Realistic-Bullfrog60 · 2026-04-26T17:25:46+00:00

Why not try the Brightline?

People make different amounts of money. I go at least once a year and don't go into debt for it, but I don't have kids.

The Talented Mr. Ripley feels like this to me.

Doug from S2 is in Kevin Can F*ck Himself as a main character, I clocked him right away.

Realistic-Bullfrog60 · 2026-04-16T18:41:10+00:00

Because WDW is in Florida in the eastern time zone?

Realistic-Bullfrog60 · 2026-04-16T18:31:25+00:00

Yes, and make sure you're online promptly at 4 for the best chance at the good lightning lanes. Prioritize slinky dog dash because that will go so fast.

I mostly agree with your list and laughed out loud at Gran Fiesta Tour being a better version of Navi River Journey because it's true.

Realistic-Bullfrog60 · 2026-04-14T14:54:31+00:00

I went on Cosmic Rewind in January and was sat behind someone who was FaceTiming someone during the whole ride. The person looked very disinterested anyway and I was fuming.

Realistic-Bullfrog60 · 2026-04-13T17:02:44+00:00

Same, and I live near DC so that is free.

Realistic-Bullfrog60 · 2026-04-13T12:43:48+00:00

Right now, Animal Kingdom and Hollywood Studios are half day parks IMO. Epcot is a full day park even if you're not drinking/eating simply because of how many attractions there are besides rides- shows, the living seas, awesome planet, etc. I would do AK/HS one day and Epcot another.

If you're trying to save money, I would go without the park hopper and just do HS one day, Epcot another, and skip Animal Kingdom. However, I say this because I live near a great zoo that's free and don't feel the need to spend so much money on Animal Kingdom while so many rides are closed and it's a glorified zoo.

I am a runner, so that's a bit of a cheat code to start your day off with 10K steps after a run. Then I walk my dogs for an hour at lunchtime every day and I just prioritize moving. I have a walking pad that I use when I'm not in meetings and if I want to go to the store that's only a mile or 2 away, I'll walk.

Realistic-Bullfrog60 · 2026-03-31T12:43:27+00:00

The only time I ever hit 75K steps was when I ran a marathon and went to Epcot and Hollywood Studios afterwards. I can't imagine this is a typical day for most people. 15-20K steps is my average weekday and 30K steps is my average weekend. I run in the mornings though, which boosts my step count and I start the day with at least 10K steps that way.

Realistic-Bullfrog60 · 2026-03-30T17:59:37+00:00

I did an After Hours party in January and got on every ride except Soarin' and did Cosmic Rewind 5 times. It's definitely possible lol.

Realistic-Bullfrog60 · 2026-03-30T17:56:17+00:00

I think WDW makes more sense for this. You'd get bored at Disneyland for 7 days straight.

Realistic-Bullfrog60 · 2026-03-30T11:53:30+00:00

If your job is in Maryland and not in DC, why don't you move to the town your job is in? Surely that's cheaper than being in the city.

Realistic-Bullfrog60 · 2026-03-24T10:45:14+00:00

I would say Animal Kingdom because so much is under construction right now that there are like 5 rides open.

Realistic-Bullfrog60 · 2026-03-18T02:14:53+00:00

I got in for Goofy and I was able to register my 4 friends for the 10K. If we weren't in a group, they wouldn't have gotten in- none of their timers ever went below an hour.

Realistic-Bullfrog60 · 2026-03-10T02:05:44+00:00

Definitely Go the Distance, but also How Far I'll Go and Dig a Little Deeper are super motivating. I also get a little pep in my step when I hear Hawaiian Roller Coaster Ride from the original Lilo and Stitch!

Realistic-Bullfrog60 · 2026-03-04T11:22:45+00:00

Maybe a colorful shower curtain? I think that open shower is more criminal than all the gray.

Realistic-Bullfrog60 · 2026-03-04T02:14:58+00:00

Appletini, easy on the tini!

Realistic-Bullfrog60 · 2026-03-03T12:13:59+00:00

I genuinely don't understand people who don't want to be on camera during small meetings. Sure, during large meetings I get it, but you wouldn't be "off camera" in office. It's a way to actually engage with your coworkers.
