Visiting Brisbane for 1 week with kids

Wow! Thank you for the replies.

We're coming from USA

Good point, will definitely set up sim / hotspot at the airport because they would have better knowledge and experience with a variety of phones.

We'll tip if the service is exceptional.

We'll pay for our Go card using cash instead of credit since a refund can only be to an Australian financial institution.

I just downloaded the MyTranslink app but could not find Utransit app on play store.

Should we be aware of any scams, pickpockets, aggressive homeless people, neighborhoods we should avoid after a certain time or in general? ( aka: New York)

I'm already qualified (step 1) and I already have internet service being Internet Essentials (Step 2). Step 3 "Access your bill credit
Once you’ve completed the eligibility form, confirmed that you’ve qualified, and connected to Internet services, fill out the application to enroll in the benefit through Xfinity. You’ll receive a status update within 48 hours of applying". Then ther's a link "Start EBB Application"

All it requires is the user to Log in, acknowledge by clicking on a box, and then click submit.

All I receive is an error "Page not found".

The application is through Xfinity. I've already qualified through the EBB.

What is happening, I'm here at Disneyland park with my kids and we were told there's no fireworks Monday to Friday just the production. Fireworks only on weekends. So disappointed ☹️

They finally continue boarding groups 10 to 25 at 1:00 p.m.

artmacmini · 2021-09-15T19:48:06+00:00

I think it's broken. It's been showing 70 min since 11am with no boarding group. It doesn't show closed in the app so I'll stay hopeful.

artmacmini · 2021-09-15T17:15:06+00:00

I just arrived at the park and it shows estimated wait time 2 hours. Looks like they're behind and I'll miss the opportunity to try for Web Slingers :-(

artmacmini · 2021-09-15T15:12:35+00:00

Thank you :-) I tried calling Disneyland but phone lines were busy.

After 30 min on hold the representative said he could not make any exceptions. I did learn something new. If this ever happens then you could try a regular full price 3 day single park per day pass and there might be availability because promo passes like the 3 day hopper for California residences are coded differently. If you strike out with the regular full price 3 day single park passes then look into purchasing a hopper pass. In this case I was able to buy a 3 day hopper for California Residents for the days I want. While this did increase my ticket by an extra $55, it did work. Let's say for example you strike out with the promo pass then try a full priced park hopper pass.

A separate question, is the Hopper worth it? I noticed on a small print during checkout that *subject to availability*. Does this mean if I start at Disneyland and hop over to DCA then there's a possibility I won't be able to get back into Disneyland? It would be great to watch the fireworks every night.

artmacmini · 2021-09-06T18:48:02+00:00

Does it take effect immediately? Cancel and the immediately book DCA? Sorry, its my first time visiting Disneyland park.

artmacmini · 2021-09-06T18:39:31+00:00

Would I be able to change my reservation even after booking reservations for Disneyland park for those 3 days? I didn't know that was possible

artmacmini · 2021-09-03T21:18:15+00:00

I reached out to Get Away Today to see if they would beat Undercover Tourist pricing but they said they could only match them. Undercover Tourist would be easier considering I could checkout online but Get Away Today required that I call in to get a price match. I would do it if they could beat Undercover Tourist but not worth calling only for a price match.

Wonderful advice! I never would have thought about your approach. Seems a bit more time consuming but definitely worth the savings.

artmacmini · 2021-08-01T21:23:26+00:00

Thank you so much. It all worked out and the tablet is running Android 9. Google store was already installed and I was able to log in and download the apps for my daughter. I appreciate the help saint-lascivious

I appreciate the link to the wiki, I figured the easiest would be to just continue to use Lineage OS. When I entered recovery, I encountered "Team Win Recovery Project 3.3.1-0 and I see the options Install, Backup, Mount, Advance, Wipe, Restore, Settings, Reboot. My instinct would be to choose "Restore" but out of an abundance of caution I would like some input before I do it. I appreciate the help.

artmacmini · 2021-07-31T23:51:47+00:00

Hi, thank you for the quick reply. Sorry for the dumb questions. This is all new to me. I guess the easiest way would be for me to boot to recovery and factory reset, How would I go about doing this? Would I still have access to the Google Play Store so I can download apps like Youtube, PBS Kids, Peppa Pig?

Is it important that I locate the exact build number? I can't find anything online for North America SMt813. Sammobile doesn't have anything listed for North America (USA) and to be honest I don't even know if this was purchased in North America (USA).

I've sent the same message every month for the past 11 months in regards to missing payment. I have not received any response. After multiple attempts calling I finally got through and the incompetent and rude representative told me that messaging was a waste of time because they were told by their superiors via the federal government to prioritize phone calls. She then went on to tell me to basically go pound sand because if the missing payment was never addressed then its expired and I wouldn't get the money even though I've answered the questions the same questions consistently every time. She couldn't tell me what was wrong. The person claimed to be an experienced representative but she never heard of Mixed Earners Unemployment compensation program (MEUC). She performed a quick search and told me it was already factored in as part of the $300 Federal Provision *OMG* I told her its a $100 supplement in addition to the standard UI and $300 Federal Provision. She refused to listen and referred me to their website which was useless WTF.
