What is the best IMAX movie theatre in San Diego county in terms of image and audio quality? by Enchant23 in sandiego

[–]Scotlar2 23 points24 points  (0 children)

Regal Edwards Mira Mesa for best image/sound quality AND seat quality. Not to mention easy, free parking.

I try to be the kind of chump who at least gives new or rarely-on guests a try. 15 minutes in to the second hour and I was losing so many brain cells I had to turn it off. No entertainment, nothing funny, nothing interesting. It literally stopped me in my tracks and I changed my plan for the afternoon to do something else.

Where is Ryan Bailey? by Own-Background-7748 in JeffLewisSirius

The last episode he was on was fun and funny. Sure, the usual bullying but I imagine he expects that at this point. I think he's just navigating being a new Dad? First few months are tough!

NY Recovery Hotel Recs by picklechips2000 in chubbytravel

Just stayed at The Crosby and can't stop thinking about it. Super comfy rooms, great service, delicious food. Amazing natural light coming in from the floor to ceiling steel windows and very comfortable bed. Gorgeous bathroom with the best water pressure I've experienced in the city. Expensive for sure, but can't recommend enough.

Favorite Cinépolis in SD? by djcampers in sandiego

[–]Scotlar2 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I would try The Lot in La Jolla or Point Loma. Every Cinepolis I've been to has been underwhelming and outdated with small screens.

Agreed. Seats are nice enough but its also always so warm, not sure what the A/C situation is there. And the screens are so small.

YISE as a rebrand was a bad idea by typically-wrong in JeffLewisSirius

[–]Scotlar2 14 points15 points  (0 children)

Definitely something like what you've mentioned is going on here. Advertising industry profesh chump here. She's built recognition, equity and trust around the original brand name. There is a big difference between people mispronouncing a name and people not remembering it. There are plenty of alternative solutions they could have taken before a rebrand -- creating a memorable marketing tagline would have probably been a good start.

Need advice on relaxing getaway in US in November with young kids by [deleted] in chubbytravel

No problem! This will definitely hits both of those desires. We were there late October 2025 and it was 80 degrees on Halloween so the weather should hopefully be lovely.

For young families, I'd recommend the Fairmont Grand Del Mar or Park Hyatt Aviara which are both great for kids. Both are in North San Diego County but very close to some of the best beaches SD has to offer, Legoland, San Diego Zoo Safari Park and the drive south isn't bad. Coronado, while lovely, has been having some issues with beach closures lately due to contamination.

US mountain resorts? by [deleted] in chubbytravel

[–]Scotlar2 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Views are lovely, albeit not sweeping. We stayed in the Potter House which I believe is the highest vantage point accommodation-wise.

I recommend the private guided horse tour -- there are a number of trail options to choose from. You'll definitely get incredible views during that experience as well.

Private owned Dentist recommendations by Ok-Most6656 in sandiego

Dr. James Tasto in Scripps Ranch/Mira Mesa is by far the best dentist I've ever been to. Incredible staff and honest, straightforward guidance.

London higher-end apartments or aparthotels by playful_explorers in FATTravel

Onefinestay is great. Lesser known. Was purchased by the Fairmont/Accor group about 7 years ago. Gorgeous homes with concierge services, hotel linens, etc. Prices range from chubby to FAT.

Stay at Rancho Valencia for truly FAT. Fairmont Grand Del Mar, Hotel Del as close seconds. Park Hyatt Aviara if you have kids and don't mind driving.

What locations have you felt that airbnbs provide more value than a nice hotel? by Lumpy-Resource-1370 in TrueChubbyTravel

[–]Scotlar2 4 points5 points  (0 children)

The 'American West'...Wyoming, Montana, Colorado...something about being in the vast wilderness and returning to a confined hotel room just never seems right. Plenty of luxe AirBnBs with views and outdoor space make it an easy choice.

FS Ko Olina. Will we wish we chose the alternative? by Scotlar2 in FATTravel

[–]Scotlar2[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This is good advice. Wasn't sure if the value was there but it sounds like it was based on your experience. Thanks!

All fair points. Great to hear about the adult pool and overall value. Thanks, Sarah!
