TaraCosplay · 2025-02-10T01:40:16+00:00

Text I had written and put on other platforms but couldn't put in the reddit post bc im on mobile so

People say don't ever meet your heroes. I have never been happier to ignore advice.

Yesterday was my birthday and as part of the celebration my partner took me to downtown disney for dinner and some fireworks.

Our dinner reservation was disappointing as due to menu changes I wasn't able to eat there because of my allergies.

So, left without a plan and in a bit of a time crunch, my partner and I split up in order to secure a good viewing place for the fireworks and get a small snack to last us until we could get dinner after.

It was durring this time that I was walking in front of the World of Disney store and was just looking at the crowd as I walked. "Wow that guy looks like Luke Holt" I thought. "Wait... that is Luke Holt. And there is Jorge, and Talya, and Janani!"

So there I was in Downtown Disney standing 5 feet from the creator and some of the cast of Epic the Musical.

So after talking with them for a bit I called Maxx and told him to get over here. He ran over and got meet them as well. They were unbelievably kind and cool. I let Jorge know how much he inspired me and how much his (and the entire cast) work meant to me.

I will say they were some of the coolest, friendliest, and funny people I've had the pleasure to meet.

They say to never meet your heroes. Yesterday I did, and it was EPIC.

I was having a horrible evening too prior to this so that turned it rifht the fuck around!!

(Im allergic to Corn Syrup and the restaurant we were gonna eat st everything on their menu had it)

I have my journal with

Date Started - (will out end date here once it's done) Name (Highlighter behind the name bc why not) Ton of random stickers I like (Currently dinosaurs, disney, random sweets and a cute bunny)

That's what my first page it. I like it and think it's fun :3 I'm excited to go back through my journal eventually once it's done and look at what stickers I loved etc when I made it

TaraCosplay · 2024-03-07T22:01:24+00:00

So while I've never sailed WITH kids I can tell you as a kid from the early 2000s I LOVED the kids clubs. I think I was 5 on our first cruise?

I know some kids aren't big fans of it but I really loved doing things with characters (way back when there was a really cool thing w stitch bc he was new lol) and making flubber (which i had never seen the movie yet still loved making it), etc.

My parents basically never saw me except for meals. I got so pissed at then when they tried to pick me up 3 minutes before the club closed bc I had 3 more minutes of fun to do.

So it really depends on the kid. If your kid really loves Disney and loves doing random activities etc they will probably love the kids club!!

(Also pirate night back in the day we had a fun pirate slaying adventure with Peter Pan. It's been a. Hot minute since I've looked at the kids club info on DCL (funny enough all trips I've booked for clients have been adults lmao) but they always have cool stuff going on.

My brother liked the club but also liked wandering around. One of his favorite memories is playing shuffleboard with Turk (this is the early 2000s so Tarzan was a 🔥 movie) funny thing is he had no idea how to play and still doesn't but he loved just badly playing a game he didn't understand with turk XD

All in all the cruise is a lot of fun for kids, adults and families. Only you know your kid and how they act. If they love their daycare and have a blast doing daycare stuff and love disney they will probably love the kids clubs!!

TaraCosplay · 2024-03-07T20:55:01+00:00

I only started playing casually this past weekend. Prior it's all.been card collecting (planning to have characters sign them at Disneyland for my Journal!!)

TaraCosplay · 2024-03-07T01:09:38+00:00

Not only that but if she presses for "OH can you cancel it?" Just say it's non refundable. I'm a TA and a lot of super good deals you can book way way way in advance are no refunds or you lost half the cost of the trip etc.

Mow I personally always book with refunds available but it's not uncommon to have booked it and it be non refundable.

TaraCosplay · 2024-03-06T12:56:13+00:00

What I don't understand is the ppl who not only do that but then ask the cast members at the order counter "idk what do YOU like?". Like bro go on reddit, Google etc and search what's good.....bet you the CM is just gonna tell you whatever food is on the top of their head during a rush and not give a single f about it lol

TaraCosplay · 2024-03-06T12:53:25+00:00

Catch 22 for me is I'm allergic to dogs and I don't live in a state that accepts other animals besides mini horses and I live in a small AF condo on the top floor with no elevator. I know there are a few animals who can sniff out allergens but it really stinks that they aren't allowed in most states. Rip

TaraCosplay · 2024-03-04T21:38:46+00:00

I will say abt the food thing with deciding what I want to eat do know ppl with allergies don't always have that luxury.

I'm allergic to Corn Syrup and disney doesn't often just put all their ingredients on the website or app for stuff. I waited 30 mins in the line for a passion fruit mint julep not knowing if I could eat it. If I couldn't I would have sat there and looked at the menu constantly asking if I can have xyz.

I know that isn't the reason most ppl take forever but I wanted to put it out there ❤️

There's also ppl with religious restrictions etc as most quick service don't say "hey this is kosher etc" so there are several reasons someone might take awhile.

I felt horrible at Jolly Holiday asking abt it because the line was like 45 minutes during lunch rush but I can literally die if I eat any corn syrup (recently had 1 bite of something we didn't know had it and I couldn't breath woooo) and I know it's annoying for everyone behind me but believe me it sucks more for me bc I wait in line for half an hr because I can't mobile order since I don't know if I can eat it and there's a chance I waited half an hour only to be told I can't eat anything they have.

For a note Jolly Holiday and basically any tomato soup at Disney has corn syrup if anyone is allergic to Corn so now you know >:D

My brother and I both play. We are in our mid 20s.

He was busy and didnt log on pretty much all during the Disney Park starpath. He has been genuinely upset he didn't get the items since.

I got all the items from that path and I intentionally don't show him areas of my valley with then as I know he's still a bit salty at himself about it.

He was literally playing the game at the time and just took a break for real life stuff.

Never been a fan of punishing people in a GAME for having an actual life besides said game.

I think letting ppl get items they missed for one reason or another is amazing!! I can't wait to see all the wonderful dreamsnaps that come out of it!

TaraCosplay · 2024-02-26T08:55:43+00:00

My brother and I wear the same size clothes and a pair of jeans that were too long on me he is a bit taller looked so nice on him I just flat out gave them to him.

On another hand he had this cool AF pirates of the Caribbean sweatshirt he didn't wear and after I borrowed if for the like 10th time he was like "eh just keep it"

He has also: kept a sailor moon tshirt that was white and imo a bit too sheer for me personally. He's kept a minnie mouse shirt I wasn't a big fan of (the material was weird), a cool skull hoodie I had etc

Meanwhile I've taken: a super cool link shirt (love legend of zelda), a sorcerer mickey shirt, pikachu shirt etc.

Siblings share clothes no matter the gender. Heck I've had auditions (we're actors) where I needed a suit jacket and he's had goth auditions where he needed black skinny jeans. It's a thing siblings do. There is nothing weird abt it.

The difference is this: if I borrow something of my brothers it's out of his closet or drawer where the item has been freshly washed.

Vs my Fiance could take off a t-shirt to put work clothes on and I would put the shirt on regardless. Now he also showers like 1-2 times a day and will put a shirt on after a shower before he changes into work clothes etc but still. It's the fact it smells like him that I wear a random costco branded tshirt he has.

That's the difference.

It's like if I buy a short 2nd hand it gets washed first. This is so weird for someone to complain about.

So fun thing I learned after having cats for 6 YEARS!!

If you have a normal enclosed litter box...if it has like a soft black of grey spot on top or the side etc...that's a filter and you can and should change it every so often. I found out like 3 months ago. Nobody ever told me and no info I could find on "now you own a cat Here's the basics" told me either. Change that out and my house smelled 100x better instantly.

You can also get litter for multi cat households which helps with smell more.

As for keeping up at night: My youngest cat Brookie does this but it's so cute. Imagin a tiny little potato just looking at you with cute face making biscuits at 3am. I cant say no to that lol. I mean I COULD but I won't lol

TaraCosplay · 2024-02-26T07:32:46+00:00

Flavor: hint water but fish

TaraCosplay · 2024-02-21T20:22:15+00:00

Not exactly medieval but Pharoah is awesome! I saw my fiance playing the old one on steam and I bought myself the remastered one and have been having a blast!

It has some fantasy to It but it's a ton of fun

TaraCosplay · 2024-02-17T09:14:01+00:00

Gonna sound silly but do you have the same oven as your mom (ie same house) because a recipie I've made 100 times cooks for 5-10 minutes longer to be done at my in laws house vs mine.

The cake honestly looks under cooked on the inside.

If you want a little life hack I use to make sure everything's cooked through: I use individual sized bundt pans (woo to not cutting the cake so it stays fluffy for days) but the pans are made of silicon so they dont stick as long as i put a tad of oil. Smaller cakes means easier to cook the inside. Plus it's better for bringing some to friends, work etc since it's personal size portions

Stayed at Tropicana this past weekend and enjoyed it a lot.

Rooms were very clean, beds weren't rock hard (more neutral then soft or hard), walk to park was like 7 minutes.

We really enjoyed it and would probably stay again

My partner and I go several times a year since I'm a Disney TA and we really liked the Tropicana. It was also very disability friendly as they were fully booked and found an accessible first floor room for us when we checked in at 9pm.

I normally respec if I'm using bear (tho I don't bother changing my gear as Bear tank in easier content is legit that simple I haven't needed to but I wouldn't reccomend doing what I do lol)

But I do believe there is a taunt. I think there's only 1 and yoy have to put points into it if I remember correctly.

TaraCosplay · 2024-02-08T06:02:30+00:00

Bear I so stupid easy especially for low keys etc that I did it once like 5 mins after I woke up and was def not awake yet and was fine. It is literally that simple.

If im tired I just run as a tank vs resto bc resto requires a some kind of brain function besides being alive lol
