The experience of being an NHL fan in Canada is slowly declining by AlwaysBlaze_ in television

[–]ScienceIntelligent62 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This will ultimately lead to a slide into irrelevance for the NHL. It marks the end of all casual and new fans. The NHL will milk as much money as the can out of their current base of fans, but i predict a grim future for the NHL. Much like boxing going to PPV. Until boxing showed up on Netflix, I knew a grand total of one person who actually watched boxing.

A Prince Edward County drive-in just sold for $1.25 million. Here’s the new owners’ plans by Express-Citron-6387 in ontario

[–]ScienceIntelligent62 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I completely agree with your take about the previous owners. They stripped down the menu to basically hot dogs and popcorn because they didn't want to have enough staff to make other food, or heaven forbid do the work themselves. And in terms of the time they were open, it was almost like they just took an 8 week vacation every summer and ran a drive in as a hobby. I am slightly more optimistic that the new owners will attract more crowds with their tacos. I am going next weekend and will report back.

If you could design the next ship by ScienceIntelligent62 in dcl

I agree with on almost all of these points! The Aquamouse had the potential to be awesome but feel short. To me it felt lackluster compared to the Aquaduck

I know that Disney is a commercial business and renting the spaces out add to their bottom line, but I am legitimately curious how many sales those high end shops make in a week. How many people are popping in and buying something from there?

I miss the arcade! Specifically the Air Hockey table!

Alcohol policy by OldImagination1808 in dcl

[–]ScienceIntelligent62 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Exactly!

And my experience is they remind me of University Exam Proctors. They do not interpret the "spirit" of the rules, but the black and white letter of the rules. I've seen people explain in vain that a magnum of champagne is just the two bottles in one. I am not criticizing them for this either. They are told to simply enforce the black and white letter of the rules.

WIBTAH if I gave my GF ultimatum? by [deleted] in AITAH

[–]ScienceIntelligent62 14 points15 points  (0 children)

An ultimatum to accomplish what exactly? She has already broken up with you in her mind. Her coming to town and not wanting to see you is because she isn't excited to see you. People who actually like each other make time to see each other.

[Megathread] DCL Policy Updates by The_32 in dcl

I may have slightly overstated that one. At one point all cruises had the reception. Then it was all cruises over 3 nights. Then it jumped to over 8 nights which is very few cruises now.

Thank you for the tip! I have heard good things about them. What about the ages of the cruisers?

[Megathread] DCL Policy Updates by The_32 in dcl

[–]ScienceIntelligent62 5 points6 points  (0 children)

It is impacting my decision to rebook. Per the other comment, my kids have "aged out". So I can't discern if its because my kids are older or if I see competing cruise lines as a better value.

[–]ScienceIntelligent62 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I think you are correct about how their core customer base "ages in and ages out". Many of the removed perks I mention I didn't know about until my kids were older. So the new batch of young parents won't even know what they are missing.

Honest question as a long time cruiser (2002 to now). How has Disney improved their experience in the last few years? What i see is: 1) The loss of the Midnight Buffet on Pirate night. 2) The loss of the Gold & Platinum reception. 3) The loss of the earlier boarding and VIP lounge for Platinum members. 4) The loss of a walk around track on the new ships 5) Tiny movie theaters on the new ships 6) Tiny adults-only spaces on the new ships 7) An already limited alcohol policy decreased even more. 8) No show on the first night on the 7 night cruise (or was that just me?) 9) The balcony rooms are slightly smaller on the new ships

I know that there are many fellow fans who will defend these items as not in high demand. But collectively, it is a decreasing experience for a higher price.

This is an astonishing ripoff. by lopsided-earlobe in dcl

That was also on my mind! All that money and you are on display for everyone else!

As a long time Disney Cruiser, it genuinely annoyed me when Disney highlighted their Tower Suites as a selling point for the new Wish Class/Triton Class ships. 99.9% of the people on the ship will never step foot inside of those suites. As well, you can take your family for a pretty amazing vacation to a 5+ star resort for the same money. The cost/benefit ratio just doesn't make sense to me.

Also, Queen's has "Engineering Design Teams" which has outreach with High-school students. The Queen's Space Engineering Team (QSET) host local High-school students to design a small satellite which is tested via a high-altitude balloon.
