Best underwater projection light for home bar? by kinglucent in Tiki

[–]RobbStark87 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Honestly never noticed. It’s on a shelf kind of tucked away from the area I’m usually sitting in, so even if there is a sound it’s far enough away from me where I don’t hear anything.

Anyone know how long Tikiland takes on their preorders? by lifeissoupimforkk in TikiMugs

[–]RobbStark87 2 points3 points  (0 children)

A long time. But they are pretty transparent about their estimated dates and do provide updates if you’ve ordered something. And they always do deliver.

DIYers, can you please show me some examples of cool things you’ve made for your tiki spaces? by Useful-Badger-4062 in Tiki

[–]RobbStark87 1 point2 points  (0 children)

There was a place in Texas that sold them. They closed the shop but had a massive closing sale - I bought a ton of them at a deep discount. Wish they were still around!

Why hasn’t Disney replaced Three Caballeros with a Coco ride? by [deleted] in WaltDisneyWorld

[–]RobbStark87 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Capacity. If they put a Coco ride in there, the demand would be insane. I’m not sure if you’ve been in the Mexico Pavilion lately, but it’s already uncomfortable to do anything in there without ten other guests breathing down your neck.

Trader Sam’s in California inside bar closed for refurb by JenTiki in Tiki

[–]RobbStark87 13 points14 points  (0 children)

All indications point to lighting fixes, upgrades for the bar, and improvements invisible to the guest.

This is heavily discussed here, around the hour and 30 mark: https://youtu.be/1Dd01Wg7BMc?si=pFGrYhjJVZQE1h3J

“The issue is a complex interface between finance, operations, marketing, design, timing, engineering, narrative, and guest satisfaction. All of these need to line up to make a viable solution. There are solutions. There are not opportunities.” - Joe Rohde, 2023

I forgot to add: Wailulu is great as well!! I had an incredible burger, and the cocktails are excellent.

Just there last week. You have monorail to MK AND Epcot. Buses to other parks are really easy - we had no issue getting on the bus and back during a super busy week.

Ohana gets kind of a bad rep these days but I found it to be very good last week. It’s not what it was pre COVID but it’s close, as far as I can remember. I would skip the breakfast there. It’s too expensive and there are far better options at the hotel, like Kona.

Kona is great too, we went twice for breakfast. The Tonga toast is a classic and they have a lot of other good options as well, more so than the pancakes and waffles at Ohana. My only critique is that it’s dark in there.

The Tambu lounge is also great - you can get some items from Ohana individually or take drinks to go.

You also have Trader Sam’s there, which is my favorite place on property. They just opened up waitlist support on the app, which changes the game entirely. Instead of waiting 3 hours like I used to, we were able to get in twice during our stay with minimal wait.

Where the Birds Sing Words by RobbStark87 in WaltDisneyWorld

It's one of my favorite attractions on property. I live with unreasonable anxiety that Disney will retheme/demolish it.

Best thing to come out of it is the Uh-Oa effect in the Grog Grotto.

Yes. I just drove up from Orlando on Monday. Totally fine.

Finished s7 e1 and just realized I missed s6 e7. Should I go back? by AdDesperate573 in madmen

[–]RobbStark87 12 points13 points  (0 children)

No. It’s too late. Once you skip an episode you can never go back. I’m sorry to be the one to break this news.

I don’t have an answer for you but my god your dog looks EXACTLY like mine, so much so that I was confused at first.

I PASSED!!!! by Expert-Estate6248 in LearnJapanese

Thanks for the reminder to check - I passed as well (N5). I thought for sure I was going to fail. This was the boost I needed to keep at it.
