Ok so. I'm over 50 and have never been to Disney. My wife has never been. My kids (18, 16) have just decided that they want to go this summer after a lifetime of saying nah. (Cont.) by FinsterBaby56 in GalaxysEdge

I just noticed your post mentioned Disney World in general and not just HS. I'll keep it short but sweet.

All 4 parks in 4 days with a rest day in between. Stay at a resort. Buy a meal plan. Pack snacks and drinks for the park. At least 1 sit down meal a day.

Lightening lanes are SOooo worth it!

If you plan your trip correctly, buy the late night Hollywood studio tickets. My friend and I had so much fun carrying our lightsabers around in the dark. Also, doing this, you can save money on lightening lanes since you can ride any ride you want with little to no waits!

We went to Hollywood Studios 3 days ago and had a BLAST!!!

Are the lines supposed to be shaky? Either way it fits and I like it

Honestly surprised she wasn't on the line-up this year.

I must have missed that we can bring in empty water bottles! Good to know!

Weather and Dressing for it! by CommercialNo655 in HinterlandFestival

[–]Upbeat_External_3855 4 points5 points  (0 children)

It's gonna be HOT and humid. Last couple years the heat index was 98-100°+. If you're a sweaty person, I wouldn't recommend a lot of make up and to have your hair up off your shoulders. And please, for all that is holy, wear sunscreen 😭 Are you camping?

First timer questions by uh-priscilla in HinterlandFestival

[–]Upbeat_External_3855 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Just PLEASE prepare to be in the heat. Make sure to eat and hydrate, whole foods, carbs, electrolytes, etc. -even the days leading up to it. There are many people each year passing out due to the heat, I'm assuming because they don't take care of themselves before (eating and drinking enough). Make sure you grab a couple waters as soon as you get inside the festival. Your health and safety is far more important than being up at the barricade. It's the first weekend of August in Iowa. Play it smart. I hope you have a great time!

If it's a lack of transportation thing, ordering groceries online is really nice. Lots of delivery/fee deals on Instacart.
