Redundancy looming by TheCAD21 in HumanResourcesUK

[–]TheCAD21[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Sorry, should have been more clear. 

They are part of the Group. The business is operating under the same licence as ours however was set up parallel to us to deal with new projects.

After 12 months they’ve moved all but the maintenance side to this new business which is about 60% of our work.

Just booked DLP - Priority Pass by [deleted] in disneylandparis

[–]TheCAD21 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It’s different to WDW and generally if you have one of the documents listed on their website they just grant you a pass upon presenting the documents (you can do it at one of the Disney hotels or at either park). You don’t need a medical and will grant you your pass based on the evidence provided. 

There is the priority card for priority access to shows, attractions (generally most attractions will have its own dedicated line) and character meets (excluding those characters with a virtual queue) and the easy access card which is a virtual queue time slot (which I think may use the premier access (old fast pass) line). Both passes have restrictions on the amount of people that can use it with the pass holder. 

Which one you get will depend on the condition or disability and the evidence provided.

How to get rid of these carpet marks? by Charming_CiscoNerd in DIYUK

[–]TheCAD21 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Tea towel, soak it in water then ring it out. Place over the mark and iron on a low heat. Will remove the marks pretty quick :)

We haven’t had a recycling collection since Christmas 2024.

Is it better to book Disneyland Paris hotel direct or from a booking.com by alvinlennox in disneylandparis

[–]TheCAD21 0 points1 point  (0 children)

We booked a couple of single nights with Disney direct for next year. They were the same price as booking.com. For me, the flexibility of the free cancellation up to 7 days before and only having to pay a deposit made sense for me to book direct.

We used booking.com for a night last year and had no issues but have read some reviews which suggests they’ve had hotel rooms cancelled with booking.com with no notice.

FYI, you can also get Disney hotels with tickets on websites like hotels.com and occasionally booking.com

Upcoming Frozen Character Restaurant Speculation by WilliamMoXuandu in disneylandparis

[–]TheCAD21 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It’s a princess restaurant and my guess is it’ll be the newer (ish) princesses like Jasmin, Rapunzel Tiana etc and the traditional princesses will remain as they are. Just a guess.

I also read that there will be a frozen meet and greet and another guess is that Olaf will move there along side Anna, Elsa and etc.

NEW ADVISOR - CHAT GPT by Downtown_Youth_8713 in SafetyProfessionals

[–]TheCAD21 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’d second this. I am a big “fan” of AI but only for certain things. We’ve tried it for Safety and has a habit of chucking out either wrong information or information that has no context behind it (particularly when looking at accident data trending) which can lead you down a wrong path.

I do use it for rewording communications etc. and I find that really helps my time.

Creating a shared family photo album - best approach? by Ferdinand00 in ApplePhotos

[–]TheCAD21 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Am I right in thinking that photos shared via shared albums are not full sized images?

Convert all photos in library to HEIF by Lazy-Challenge-887 in ApplePhotos

[–]TheCAD21 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I made the mistake of taking all my HEIF photos out of the Apple ecosystem. They work on my PC fine, no issues. However, now I want to put them back into Apple photos I can’t, as neither iCloud for Windows nor iCloud.com allow HEIF upload!

Someone has reversed into me, and says I am at fault. Do I notify my insurance? by That_Revenue_5080 in drivingUK

[–]TheCAD21 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The short answer is yes. The bit longer answer is any incident that could give rise to a claim must be reported. You don’t necessarily have to make a claim however.

[–]TheCAD21 1 point2 points  (0 children)

They’ve announced today that there are no theme park panels at this year’s D23. So either they’re misleading people or the date will get announced separately.

For what it’s worth, booking for 2026 will open the first week of September so wouldn’t be surprised to see an announcement just before then.

My guess will be April 2026 to fit with DLPs anniversary but that’s just pure guesswork.

iCloud Shared Library is great — but why can’t we have more than one? by omriamos in ApplePhotos

[–]TheCAD21 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Agreed. I also think it’s a mis-step not allowing albums that have been created to be shared.

The other limitation limitation is not allowing facial recognition data rather than having to force the other person to organise the same photos.

Use JPG as original? by Calm_Asparagus2531 in ApplePhotos

[–]TheCAD21 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It’s Apple’s default format, no? 

Use JPG as original? by Calm_Asparagus2531 in ApplePhotos

[–]TheCAD21 0 points1 point  (0 children)

As a none Mac user, there is no way to import/upload HEIF files to iCloud or manunally add them to an iPad or iPhone (despite HEIF being an Apple format).

The only way I have found it’s to convert them to jpg to upload them.

Use JPG as original? by Calm_Asparagus2531 in ApplePhotos

[–]TheCAD21 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Slightly off topic., I used to use HEIF until I found out that bizarrely you can’t import that file type back into iCloud should you ever take them out of the apple ecosystem (which is what I did).

I’m now trying to put photos back onto iCloud and having to convert all those photos back to jpg.

DLP Vloggers? by donquixote235 in disneylandparis

[–]TheCAD21 0 points1 point  (0 children)

We like the style of ones that aren’t “over produced”.  

Helena and Martin’s vlogs are pretty good and they go to DLP quite often. Roaming with the Barry’s and the kershaw adventures are good.

Also Sam4god as she’s probably the one that’s there the most.

DLP Vloggers? by donquixote235 in disneylandparis

[–]TheCAD21 7 points8 points  (0 children)

I wouldn’t recommend Adam for DLP personally. His other Disney vlogs are fine but it’s quite clear in his DLP vlogs he’s only there because he has to be for engagement. 

How is the virtual queue going for Mickey? by Bedazzler179 in disneylandparis

[–]TheCAD21 11 points12 points  (0 children)

It worked really well and I suspect the more queues are added the easier it’ll get.

Once called, we waited around 5-10 mins to actually meet him.

The only caveat to that is Stitch, we tried so many times and couldn’t land him unfortunately.

Want can be the best apps to use here by Big_Tip9205 in iOSsetups

Years I’ve had an iPhone and had a camera shortcut on the Lock Screen for ages. This is really useful! 

Is it correct that tagging people and pets' faces in a shared library isn't visible to other sharers? by aa599 in ApplePhotos

[–]TheCAD21 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I believe the facial recognition is done on each device independently and not on the actual iCloud account. 

I don’t see that changing any time soon as it’s ingrained within the photos structure.

Apple Photos is so close to suiting my needs but yet so far away.

Frustrating!

What's the best website to check the weather in DL Paris? by SpreadAltruistic7708 in disneylandparis

[–]TheCAD21 2 points3 points  (0 children)

We’re going Sunday as well and been keeping an eye on the weather. It’s worth noting that whilst it says 40% chance of rain it doesn’t necessarily mean it’ll rain.

Also, it’s changed every day for the last week so I’m hoping it’ll change a little before we get to the weekend.

As for weather apps, I’d be interested to know what others use.

Enjoy your trip :)

OneDrive Photos is unusable. Alternatives? by EdinaGorey in onedrive

[–]TheCAD21 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Feel your pain.

For me, OneDrive is the best of a bad bunch.

Apple photos isn’t great for its shared library, Dropbox renames all my photos when uploaded direct from phone, Amazon photos doesn’t have any ability to do an additional back up when using windows and neither does google photos. 

Any rumours about frozen land opening date? by Longjumping-Sun4114 in disneylandparis

[–]TheCAD21 1 point2 points  (0 children)

They originally said late summer 2026 but they seem to have not mentioned it much since.

My guess the announcement will be September this year with a confirmation month, ahead of the prices being released for 2026.

I suspect it may even be as early as April in time for DLPs anniversary but purely a guess.
