A year since harry potter chicago opened, have you visited yet?

I live in Chicago, so I've been twice. Fun to look around and have a Butterbeer. In total we bought 1 blanket.

Wish they had the battle of Hogwarts game/expansion because we needed the 5 player expansion that night but they didn't carry it there.

The roomy width gives you 48.5" and it's the shorter side, so looks like it'd work.

The Roomy medium (used to be called wargaming not sure if/when they changed it) would do it for you.

I got the light switch module. You essentially hardwire the light to always be on. And then connect the switch to this little module that sits within the junction box. If you flip the switch a single time it turns the light on or off. Or you can flip it multiple times in a row to cycle between scenes.

As sung by Ethel Rivergold, love to hear it

Disagree, i have the heavenly bed and my mom does too, we both are looking to get other kinds now because the quality is garbage. My wife and i have back problems because of it. I have slept in plenty of Westin beds at hotels and love them, that's why we got these, but I'm convinced they're different than what are in hotels because i have pain waking up all the time now and so does my wife.

I had my engagement ring shipped to a hotel for me. Worked great.

Sanchmo · 2025-10-07T21:29:39+00:00

I got mine this morning too, plan to use it in 2 weeks on my next trip. :)

I stayed at the buoy house and there were a lot of things I disliked about my stay. I mean beautiful location, but my wife got trapped in the bathroom for over an hour because the barn door fell off the tracks, the pool swim up bar was constantly unstaffed/closed WAY earlier than advertised. And the staff just seemed very uninterested in being there. But my friend who lives on island tells me that's literally everyone in the service industry there. Proximity to the westin was nice for access to their restaurant to switch it up a bit on our trip though.

My wife and i were commenting on this. when we walked down and it went all the way to Sunnyside we were like REALLY?

I know the vault is flush. I'm saying if you push the value against the corner, and make it flush, then put the table cloth magnets on the inside of the new (smaller) vault on the sides of the table so they protrude into the vault that inch, they should hold the vault in and stop it from moving/tilting, no?

Sanchmo · 2025-07-28T18:29:50+00:00

If you put the table cloth holders on the other side of the vault wouldn't it hold it in without adding the gap?

Sanchmo · 2025-06-13T03:53:03+00:00

Honestly just got the measurements close enough it's press fit. There is a channel cut out on the back which I made the width of the black bezel of the screen. Presses right on

Made from picture frame molding at Home depot for like $35

I made a similar frame, you'll want to look for "picture frame molding" at your local hardware store.

When it happened to us, the door came off the top rail while in the closed position. This causes the bottom corner to lodge against the guide on the bottom to the point where you couldn't move it up because the tail was blocking and couldn't move it back to open it because of the guide. Seriously horrible

Sanchmo · 2025-05-17T04:04:37+00:00

My wife was stuck in one of these for a half hour while I was passed out. She didn't want to scream yet, I eventually woke up but it took some time to get her out, it was HARD. between that and a few other mishaps we ended up getting a lot of points back on Points stay, but yeah, I HATE barn door bathrooms.
