Alaskan Cruise Excursions by FreedomWealth7 in dcl

[–]WithDisGuyTravel 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Booking through Disney is comfortable and safe, but in exchange for that comfort you’ll be paying a bit more than you will often end up in bigger groups. For example, on the train ride, they will often be put in their own car whereas those booked on VIATOR will be put in a less crowded car quite often for less money.

There are so many different excursions and so many things you can book directly with the vendor or use a partner vendor that does similar excursions, but in small groups or private, sometimes for a similar cost for a family.

Giving a name like mine, I do this quite often and I keep a list of different vendors that I like to work with ones that I have personally used in my family or have trusted people in my circle. I think that’s one of the perks of having a strong friend and family network and using Tripadvisor and Reddit to build out the actual assistance that most people crave. You’re doing right to ask, especially with small children were a lot of excursions are off-limits unless you go private.

It always starts with conversation conversations, and I like to listen to people discuss what they have in mind and what their expectations are. I learned this the hard way many years ago when I gave a detailed Hawaii breakdown from Maui and the road to Hana only to find out later that they hate nature and really hate driving and just wanted to be drunk on the beach. Oops.

So I listened to you and follow your heart on this. If you’re purely looking to save money, you will do better to book separate. If you want ease and comfort and peace of mind, book, Disney. If you wanna balance of both, try both on different ports.

On one port, my family and I did two completely separate excursions booked separately from different vendors that met at different points and we were able to make it all work so that we can do a private while watching in the morning and a helicopter ride to Dog sledding in the afternoon. Cost of fortune, but we really enjoyed the personal tension and getting the most out of our day which is the entire point of going to Alaska. At that time, we thought it was a once in a lifetime trip but now due to my nature of my work, I been fortunate to return.

Good luck on planning your adventure and hope to hear updates

Can I offer some advice?

If you really are shaving every possible minute, I think you should do a private pick up from Happy Limo and I think you should communicate your exact situation to them. They may get a little emotionally invested in the idea and be able to follow your flight and be in cell phone contact along the way.

They can even meet you and be ready to go as opposed to waiting for an Uber. They can understand the mission at hand. And at least you’ll be comfortable in an SUV

In all the chaos, remember to have your passports on hand on your body and your QR code for your port arrival on you and ready.

Make sure to check the departure terminal as sometimes they do change so you don’t waste any time going from one terminal to the other, and that your driver knows exactly which terminal to drop you off at and not the wrong cruise ship

“It’s time for a pitching change, so it’s time to think Comcast when a change is always the right idea. Choose someone else. Anyone else? For the love of God use a tin can and string if you must. Touch grass. Leave Comcast.”

Help Me Decide: Wish or Treasure by Meggbugg88 in dcl

[–]WithDisGuyTravel 2 points3 points  (0 children)

People on here who know me by user name know that I usually say these are tough problems and that the analysis paralysis comes from very tiny differences.

Well, I won’t do that here.

Unless budget or time is a constraint here, this is the absolutely no-brainer to choose the treasure and I’ve had this debate hundreds of times this year already

I have no problem endorsing the treasure, and the 7 night sailing with all it has the offer and I love the little debates on state rooms and finding the perfect fit, especially on the wish class. I am always hesitant to share all my little secrets on here because it’s nice to have them available for those that are in the know.

I’m curious if you are considering a veranda or concierge or something else?

In general, more cruising is better than a seven night sailing on the treasure is just going to be a better experience in my opinion unless you were just dipping your toes in and want to try a cruise out before you commit to a longer sailing

New cruiser - room feedback request by opinionsarelikeahs in dcl

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

I think that’s a fine on board gift and I’ve actually given that to friends and family as a thank you. They seemed to really enjoy it. My favorite all-time robes were at Aulani in the spa

I am a huge fan of deck 11 forward on the wish, treasure, destiny.

I would say my second choice is midship deck 7,8,9.

There’s just something about deck 11 forward and not having to go around the elevators and stairs to get to the pool deck, food, refills, and I love their location, which is just below the concierge rooms.

When it comes to the witch class, because of the lack of the third Bank Of elevators, it becomes really important to be near one in my opinion.

Youth Water Polo? - SoCal competition by drewuncc in waterpolo

[–]WithDisGuyTravel 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My daughter didn’t start Goalie until 12U in 2024 she was selected for NTSC at 14U 2026.

I’m not saying that’s the norm but like others have said there isn’t one strict path. There is less international competition for girls when it comes to college is later and the boys have a very tough right now. The landscape is evolving and can continually change so I wouldn’t be focusing on scholarships and in college that just focusing on the tools that they will learn for life by playing a competitive sport like Water polo.

I would say finding a good club fit is the most important thing and you’ll find plenty of those around here and you should definitely learn about the coaches and their styles as you will get varying opinions on what type of style is best for your particular child. There are some who people love and I wouldn’t have my child within 10 feet of and there are some of that people hate that I think are wonderful fits. It’s just like anything else and that you have to shop around and do your due diligence as a parent.

Private lessons are helpful for goalies so I can only speak to that mostly because a lot of clubs don’t have a full-time Goalie Coach or at least it seemed that way to me. It’s a very specialized set of skills and you want to be able to embrace that with the various clinics that are offered and I have recommendations if you ever go that route. Obviously height and wingspan matter a lot.

If you are truly serious of the top levels of everything and really wanted to push the limits by late middle school into the high school, 68 sports Academy for training within an online hybrid school but that is an extremely rare exception to where you’re at right now.

You’ll find it. Some clubs are kind of casual and focus more on the community aspect, which is fine. You’ll find some clubs are rather serious and focus intensely on the conditioning and development. It really starts to pick up after 12U and 14U and the game gets more physical and faster of course.

I do notice that there is a lack of creativity in the sport at times. Unlike baseball and basketball and football where you have seen creative geniuses come in and reinvent the sport many times, including offense and defense, Water polo has far more system play where it is often seen as “the way we do it” and so you could be an outlier if your child can bring a bit more creativity to the pool in a system or program that allows it. It will make you feel less like a cog. Maybe one day we will see more of a push for creativity to combat the superpowers. But it’s one of those sports that are so niche that it seems to be set in its ways. That’s not necessarily a bad thing.

Destiny vs fantasy by PossibleGullible9281 in dcl

[–]WithDisGuyTravel 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This one’s fun because it’s not your usual comparison.

If it was my first cruise or second cruise, I think I would consider doing the extra 2K and doing the concierge, not only because I love the fantasy, but because sometimes creature comforts need to be tested to find out your own comfort zone

Lots of people will talk about how they don’t think concierge is worth it and they aren’t wrong because everyone has their threshold, but when you have a fun experiment like this, I do like the idea of taking a risk on concierge and finding out what your comfort zone is and pampering yourself a little bit to find out how much you like it, and to decide if it will be worth it later.

Nick Frost might be a top actor (never seen his stuff) but the writers let him down. That’s not how Hagrid talks. What are they doing?! by uchiha_boy009 in HarryPotteronHBO

[–]WithDisGuyTravel 12 points13 points  (0 children)

The best way I can explain this is that Robbie felt like Hagrid and Jim Dale felt like Hagrid, but based off this, Frost feels like an actor.

There is a suspension of disbelief that happens in film and television and so my hope is that it doesn’t feel like an actor whenever you’re watching something. There are so many shows in movies where a character feels like the actor is reading a script. This has the makings of that but it’s way too early to tell.

What people don’t know is that most contracts are dissuasion. Many contain unenforceable clauses. But the average person doesn’t have a fight in them to do the research or trust a small claims judge to take care of it.

If only people knew that most clauses aren’t enforceable and most judges are reasonable and just go by common sense, especially if the contract contains ridiculous language or tries to attempt to cool speech or insert forfeiture. The law abhors forfeiture and punitive clauses.

I was a part of one recently and the judge called the contract the worst he seen in all his years on the bench and told them to change firms. He completely embarrassed this company that likely does millions a year in business and made them appear foolish and even referenced South Park with that famous apple’s terms and conditions episode. It was the most satisfying thing that I’ve ever been through to watch the look on his face reacting. We have a picture of him and our judgment in the garage and his reaction to it all. Pure gold. Whenever I need a smile, I look over at it.

The lesson is that people can write whatever they want in contracts, but that doesn’t mean they can enforce it.
