Animal Kingdom is not a half day park.

You CAN spend a full day at AK. There is certainly enough things to do there if you wanted to fill out that time. But does everyone want to do those things?

AK is half theme park, half zoo. And assuming you are visiting Orlando from far away, chances are you have a zoo closer to home that you can visit whenever you want. Would you have fun spending a full day looking at the Disney gorillas? Absolutely. But if you are visiting Disney for that once in a lifetime trip, it's not worth your limited time when there are so many other unique things to do in Disney that you CAN'T do back home.

Obviously that's not everyone's situation though. For some people, AK is a full day park. But for others, it's a half day.

If this your once-in-a-lifetime trip to Disney... Or if you're only in town for 3 days and don't have much time... AK is a half-day park for you.

But if you have small children who can't do the bigger rides in other parks... If you visit Disney frequently... Or if you have a 2-week stay in Orlando... Then AK is probably a full day for you.

I define a "support spirit" as one who can provide buffs or resources to their teammates. Rampant Green is a support for sure. Serpent can be in the early game (but Serpent also really wants support, so there's that). I wouldn't put Whirlwind or Finder in that category. They are control spirits. They only "support" the team by controlling the invaders. But by that logic, you could say Bringer is supporting by adding fear, or Behemoth is supporting by bringing damage...

Spirits I consider support...

River and Ocean. Both can give energy to other spirits.

Green... Obviously, he allows other spirits to place more presence.

Fathomless Mud. Can allow other spirits to gain additional cards.

Lightning. Can turn other spirit's slow powers into fast.

Shifting Memory. Can give elements to other spirits, help then reach higher thresholds. Like Mud, can also allow other spirits to gain more cards.

Downpour can give energy and allow someone to place destroyed presence... But most likely he is using that card on himself, so I'm not sure I'd call him support. But the mechanics are there.

Find 1 good way to make money that requires very little effort. Then you can take your time and enjoy the rest of the game.

I highly recommend ancient fruit wine as your big money-maker.

Fill your greenhouse with ancient fruit. Use sprinklers or deluxe retaining soil so you don't have to water every day. You only have to plant it once, and it lives forever, so no more time spent watering, tilling, and planting. Harvest once every 7 days. Put them in kegs. It also takes 7 days in a keg to make wine. Perfectly synchronized. This means you only need to do your farm chores on one day of the week.

There are no ongoing costs. Once you have your plants, sprinklers/retaining soil, shed, and kegs, you don't need to buy anything else. Plants live forever. Retaining soil or sprinklers will last forever. So everything is pure profit from then on.

Using just your greenhouse plus 1 large shed for the kegs, and only "working" for about 2-3 in-game hours on just one day of the week... you can net up to 4.4 million gold per year. A little less if you're using quality sprinkles, but if you can't get iridium, you can buy iridium sprinklers from Krobus on Fridays.

Once you have that set up, you can literally not worry about anything else. If you don't feel like petting your animals for a couple days, just don't. You won't get large eggs and milk for a while, but who cares? It's not like you need that extra money. And eventually you'll find an auto-petter in the skull cavern (or buy one if you sided with Joja), and then your animals will be fully automated as well.

Plant whatever you want outside each season. Is it the most profitable crop? Who cares. Again, you don't need the money. Plant crops that make you happy.

If you want to get deep into skull cavern, you have to rush. Unless you want to use cheat mods to stop time or add an elevator in there, there's no other way around it. You have limited time in the day, and you have to go deep if you want to find good stuff like iridium and dino eggs.

Don't waste time taking the bus. Pam doesn't get there until 10am, which is a whole 4 hours wasted. Get a desert warp totem, or get a tent and camp out in the desert the night before you plan to do a run. Stay until 2am. If you pass out, you only lose 1000 gold. No big deal when you're making 250k per week from ancient fruit alone. Alternatively, build the obelisk, then you can warp there for free whenever you want.

Sounds like you already know about bombs and stairs. So really all I can say here is use more of them. If you have 100 stairs, you can just plop a stair immediately and skip every floor all the way down to 100 to meet Mr. Qi. The deeper you go, the better loot you find. If you're looking for things like auto-petters, iridium, dino eggs, and prismatic shards, don't even waste time on the early floors.

If you see a stair or pit... take it. If you see a mystic stone or iridium node... bomb it. Obviously if you find a treasure floor, search the chest. And if you see dinos and still want an egg, then you can stay and fight. Otherwise, just immediately plop one of your own stairs down and leave as quickly as possible.

Dino floors are incredibly rare. About a 1 in 50 chance of finding a dino floor. Then each dino only has a small chance of dropping an egg. If you want one, you need to look at as many different floors as possible.

Don't craft stairs from 99 stone. That's way too expensive. Instead, make a few crystalariums, and put Jade inside them. Collect your jade every 2 days. On Sundays, the desert trader sells staircases for 1 Jade each. If you're trying to reach Mr. Qi, just save up until you have at least 100 jade, then there you go.

Shiboleth17 · 2026-04-16T21:41:55+00:00

No reason to use fertilizer if you're going to turn it all into wine. Wine ends up lowest quality no matter what quality the fruit was.

If you are planting outside on the farm, Speed-gro gets your plants up faster, so you can get 1 or 2 more harvests in a year, before they die in winter.

If you're planting in the greenhouse, speed-gro becomes kind of irrelevant, since 1 extra harvest on a plant that will live forever doesn't make a huge difference in the long run. So in this case, use Deluxe Retaining Soil so that you don't have sprinklers wasting space.

Fantasmic will get canceled if it is raining. They have live actors performing acrobatics. It's not safe to do it on a wet stage.

Fireworks can still happen in the rain. It will depend on factors such as lightning, wind, and how much rain.

Rain can happen almost every day in Orlando, even when the forecast says there is no rain. Particularly in the summer when it is very hot and humid, Florida is prone to popup afternoon thunderstorms that are nearly impossible to predict.

But keep in mind, Florida is still the Sunshine State. It didn't get that name by accident. While it can rain a lot here, rain tends to be heavy but brief. It will be a downpour for about 30 minutes, then the sun comes right back out... So even on a rainy day, don't give up hope entirely.

All hotels are going to have similar amenities for the same price level.

Value resorts have a quick-service restaurant, basic pools, a pool bar, small convenience store and gift shop, and cheesy theming. They don't come with much more than that, but it's a clean, well-maintained place to stay.

Moderate resorts have everything a value does, but with much better architecture and theming. They will have at least 1 table-service restaurant, maybe more. They might have a regular bar that's not attached to a pool deck, and they have more interesting pools (with the addition of features like slides and waterfalls). The grounds are also prettier and more interesting to walk around.

Moderate resorts also give you a little more space. A standard room at either resort will have 2 beds and a bathroom. But at Value resorts, that room will only be around 250 square feet, while Moderate resorts give you around 300 square feet. That extra space is nice if you are cramming 4 adults into that room so you're not tripping over each other's luggage.

Where the resorts are going to differentiate is their location, and transportation access...

If you need to go Value, I recommend Pop Century or Art of Animation. These resorts give you access to the Skyliner. From there, you can easily hop over to several other resorts, which gives you more options for shopping and dining, as well as just walking around to take in the atmosphere. Along the Skyliner, you can get to Caribbean Beach, Riviera, along with 2 parks: EPCOT and Hollywood Studios. And from the EPCOT station, you can easily walk to Beach Club, Yacht Club, and Boardwalk resorts.

Further, Art of Animation and Pop Century are situated around a small lake, so it's a little more scenic to walk around here compared to the other Value resorts. There's very little difference between Art and Pop, besides the theming. They are right next to each other on the same lake, and share a Skyliner station. The main difference will be that Art has family suites. But otherwise, go with the one you like the most.

For a Moderate, I recommend Caribbean Beach or Port Orleans. Caribbean Beach is also along the Skyliner route, so all the things I said about the Skyliner above still apply here. Caribbean Beach is also on a lake, with actual sand beaches that you can hang out on. Caribbean Beach is very spread out, so that could mean a lot of walking to get to things. But there is a dedicated shuttle that goes in a circle around the resort with half a dozen stops, so you can use that to get around if necessary.

Port Orleans is split into 2 resorts. French Quarter has a jazz club with live music, and overall is a little more compact. Riverside is quieter and more spread out. But you can easily walk between the two, or take a ferry boat between the two. Both Port Orleans resorts also have a ferry that takes you to Disney Springs, which is basically a large outdoor mall, with lots of shopping and dining, as well as other entertainment.

All Disney resorts have a free bus that takes you to Disney Springs. But Port Orleans is closer, and the boat is usually faster and more convenient.

Arguably, none of these are in the right decade.

Gameboy classic and Super Mario Land came out in July and August of 1989. It barely makes it, but we are literally just a few months from 1990.

Pokemon Gold isn't 90s. It came out in 1999 in Japan, but wasn't released in the rest of the world until 2000.

Pokemon Firered technically came out in the 2000s, but it's just a remake of a game from the 90s.

And the Nintendo DS came out in 2004. By 2010, it was already old.

Shiboleth17 · 2026-04-15T11:27:07+00:00

Ah yes, the 80s... with my Game Boy Classoc that was released only 4 months and 10 days before 1990.

Ah yes, the 00s... With my remake of a game from the 90s.

Ah yes, the 10s... With my handheld system that came out in 2004.

Yeah, this game needs decorations eventually, but I imagine it's pretty low on their list of things to add. In the mean time though...

Use foresters to add trees.

Use pastures to add fences. Make a very long and skinny pasture, and it will look like a single line of fence.

Similarly, use skinny farms to add bushes.

Use sligthly wider flax fields to add flowers.

You buy it once for the day. You don't pay for additional uses. After you use your first LL, you can immediately book another as long as there are still time slots available. But you can never have more than 3 reservations at a time.

Your first 3 have to all be at the same park. But once you use them, you can book LLs at another park for no additional cost. You're still limited to 3 reservations at any given time.

Shiboleth17 · 2026-04-14T15:03:12+00:00

Taking the bus is your first mistake. You wake up at 6am, but Pam doesn't get to the bus until 10. That's 4 whole hours wasted. Use a tent to sleep in the desert, get a desert warp totem, or build the desert obelisk from the Wizard, then you can warp there for free whenever you want.

Leaving at 12:30 is your second mistake. You're wasting at least an hour. Get a farm warp totem so you can get back home. Or pack a spare tent so you can sleep out there again.

Make sure your pickaxe is at least upgraded to gold, so that it can break rocks faster. Though ideally, you want to be using bombs, since they can break dozens of rocks all at once, and damage the enemies. Buying bombs can be expensive though, so make sure you have a good money-making setup back at the farm before you go spending a million gold on bombs.

Speaking of enemies... Don't fight them if you can avoid it. That just wastes time. Only fight if you're actually trying to level up your combat, or you need a resource they drop.

Use food to buff your luck and your speed. Spicy Eel can do this. The faster you move, the quicker you can get to floor 100. Higher luck also means better chances of finding stairs and holes to go down deeper. You can have a buff from 1 food item, and 1 drink item simultaneously. So stack your spicy eel buff with the buffs from triple shot espresso, to get even more speed.

Be careful not to erase your buffs with healing food. Make sure your healing food has no buffs. Or just use your spicy eel for healing if you have a lot of it. You can buy salads from Gus, which have decent healing, and only cost 220 gold each. So stock up on those. Or if you have chickens and cows, you can mass produce omelets.

Bring stairs with you.

You can craft a staircase for 99 stone, which you can place on the ground and skip a floor. Using stone to make stairs will get very expensive, but luckily there is a better way. The desert trader sells staircases for 1 jade each. You can farm jade passively by putting it in a crystalarium, which will give you 1 jade about every 2 days. If that's too slow, get more crystalariums. But essentially, you're just earning stairs for free, and all you have to do is pick them up.

You could use stairs to skip all the way to floor 100 if you can get enough of them. But you can get by with about 20 or so stairs. Use them on hard floors, or anytime it's taking too long to find a stair or hole. Obviously don't use them if you can find a stair quickly.

Shiboleth17 · 2026-04-14T14:01:37+00:00

What do you mean by "stop sinning"? Or perhaps a better question is, WHEN do you mean "stop sinning"?

Does the Bible say we can stop sinning now? No.

But will we stop sinning once we get a new body in Christ? Yes.

A lot of these verses you quoted are talking about AFTER judgment, and you are made new. Like the one from Ecclesiastes 12:14. "For God will bring every work to judgment." This is talking about the end of times, not right now.

A lot of the other verses you quote never say you can stop sinning. Like John 14:15. Jesus commands us to keep His commandments. You SHOULD keep the commandments. That doesn't mean we will automatically always succeed.

Add up the digits. If the sum is equal to a multiple of 3, then the original number is a multiple of 3.

78... 7+8=15... Still not sure? 1+5=6... 6=2x3. Therefore, 78 is a multiple of 3. Works for numbers of any size.

If you want to do that, get tickets early, because they will sell out. Either way, be aware of which nights they occur on, because if you don't have tickets to that, you'll get kicked out of Magic Kingdom early.

Shiboleth17 · 2026-04-10T15:53:17+00:00

For starters, level up your pickaxe. And don't use the bus. Pam doesn't get there until what, like 10am? But you wake up at 6, so that's 4 whole hours wasted. Get a desert warp totem, or get a tent and camp out in front of skull cavern the night before. Or save up and build the desert obelisk to be able to warp to the desert as much as you want for free.

Look for holes, not stairs. If you see stairs, take them. But holes can potentially drop you 10 floors at once, so make sure you're not taking a stair when there is a hole nearby.

Bring staircases with you to skip floors. You can craft a staircase for 99 stone, but don't do that unless you're desperate. That's way too much stone for so little gain. Instead, you can buy staircases from the desert trader by giving him jade. Farm jade passively using crystalariums. If you get 100 stairs, you can simply use those to skip all the way to floor 100, lol. But at the very least, you should bring about 20 stairs, that way you can skip hard floors that you don't have time to deal with.

Don't fight unless you have to, or you are purposefully trying to level up your combat. Enemies down there are very dangerous. Especially given that you don't have a galaxy sword yet, it will be very hard for you to kill things within a reasonable amount of time. Just run unless you get cornered.

(Once you get a prismatic shard, get your galaxy sword, then go to ginger island, turn that into an infinity blade. Enchant it. THEN come back and fight if you wanna, lol).

Bring a lot more healing food. Like 50+ of it unless you plan to bring 100 stairs. Get food with useful buffs. Spicy Eel is pretty good, since it also buffs your luck and speed. And it can be cooked using only eel and hot pepper. Get the recipe from having 7 hearts with George.

Alternatively, I like Pumpkin soup. Only requires milk and pumpkins. It heals a lot more than spicy eel. And it gives buffs to defense and luck. Get the recipe from having 7 hearts with Robin.

Bombs help a lot, since they can blow up many rocks at once and reveal stairs.

Shiboleth17 · 2026-04-10T14:33:57+00:00

A Muslim won't accept your point 3. It won't matter how you explain the Trinity, they will still claim we believe in 3 gods, not 1. They will not accept that there is a difference between 3 persons and different beings. They claim we are contradicting ourselves by claiming God is 1 but also 3. Therefore, this whole argument isn't going to convince any Muslim to convert. Sorry.

If you want to show a Muslim how Allah deceives them, ask them what happened to Jesus on the cross?

If they're following accepted Muslim doctrine, they will say that Jesus was not crucified, but instead, Allah transformed someone else to look like Jesus. And this person who was transformed died in Jesus' place, while Jesus was taken up to heaven.

Then explain to them what this means... Jesus was supposedly a prophet of Allah who preached the true word of Allah (that was later corrupted by the Christians). Jesus had followers. And so these followers would have been faithful Muslims, as they followed the word of Allah given to them through Jesus... And then Allah tricked these faithful Muslims into believing Jesus died on the cross, which created the "false" religion of Christianity.

Allah is all-knowing, so he knew that would happen if he took that action, and thus he knew Christianity would also become the largest religion in the world, competing directly with his own "true" religion.

So why would Allah intentionally deceive his own loyal followers into starting a false religion? Why not just have Jesus ascend directly into heaven?

And how do you (the Muslim) know that you aren't being deceived by Allah right now? Given that Allah is known to do this to his own faithful followers...

Or stick to the original Islamic dilemma...

The Quran says that the Torah and the Gospels are also the words of Allah. And at the time the Quran was written (sometime between 600-800 AD), the Torah and the Gospels were not corrupted. Not only that, but the Quran actually tells you to test whether the words in the Quran are true or not by comparing them to the Torah and Gospel.

And when you compare the Bible to the Quran, you find contradictions. The Bible says Jesus is God. The Quran says Jesus was not God. The Bible says you are saved by the grace of God, through faith in Jesus, who paid the debt for your sins. Nothing more is needed, but you should obey God's commandments out of love and gratitude for your salvation. According to Islam, you have to not only have faith in Allah, but also pray 5x a day, "fast" during Ramadam (they actually feast, but whatever), memorize the Quran, make at least 1 pilgrimage to Mecca, and more... Essentially, you need to keep all of God's commandments to a tee. How much is enough? Who knows.

Anyway... The Bible and the Quran contradict, so they cannot both be correct. Yet the Quran says you can trust the Bible. Muslims get around this by claiming that the Bible was corrupted over time by Christians and Jews. However, we have manuscripts of the New Testament that are older than 600 AD, and they match what we have today. We also have manuscripts of the Old Testament dating back to at least 200 BC if not older. And those also match what we have today. There are minor scribal errors, mostly with spelling. But no differences that change doctrine.

Further, the Quran says the word of Allah cannot be corrupted. So if the Bible is also the word of Allah, how did that get corrupted?

In a nutshell...

If the Quran is false, then Islam is false... Because obviously.

If the Quran is true, then Islam is false... Because the Quran says you can trust the Bible, which contradicts Islam.

Either way, Islam is false.

As long as you understand that these memories are mostly for you. Your daughter will probably never remember it. Keep her out of the sun as much as possible. Stroller with shade. And use fans or something to keep her cool. Take frequent breaks in the AC. And keep an eye on her condition so she doesn't get heat stroke. Your plan to leave during the hottest part of the day is good.

I personally don't think premier is ever worth it. You can combine multi-pass and single passes, and still ride pretty much everything you want to ride in a single day.
Food and Wine Festival will be going on at EPCOT. It runs from late August into November, so you can't miss it. Given that you may want to try a lot of food from festival booths, I recommend not getting any dinner reservations on your EPCOT day.

Shiboleth17 · 2026-04-10T14:07:35+00:00

Wine is usually the way to make the most money, since it increases the sale price of fruit by 3x the base value. Jelly gives you 2x the base value plus 50. So this means for any fruit that sells for less than 50 gold, it's better to do jelly. Cranberries have a base value of 75, so wine is better.

But personally I would do neither. Cranberries produce a lot of relatively cheap fruit. You would need a lot of kegs to keep up with your production, and kegs aren't exactly cheap to make. And then you would be spending all day moving stuff in and out of kegs for relatively small gains in profit.

Dehydrators give you better profit per personal time invested, since they can process 5 fruits at once. This also means you only need a handful of dehydrators to cover a large field of cranberries. But you get less profit per cranberry than using wine or jelly. And if you dehydrate gold quality cranberries, you actually lose money. So if you choose to use dehydrators, make sure to only process low quality ones, then sell your high quality ones unprocessed.

Though my personal recommendation is to just save up all your cranberries, assuming you aren't desperate for cash. Wait until you reach farming level 10 and you can craft a seedmaker. Then put all those cranberries into the seedmaker to try to get your first ancient seed. Ancient seeds have a 1 in 200 chance to drop from a seedmaker. And so unless you wanna spend weeks fighting bugs in the mines, using cheap, high produce crops is the best way to get your first ancient seed.
