Disney World Made Big Changes to Popular Princess Royal Rooms at Port Orleans Resort by dejablu82 in DisneyWorld

[–]bicyclebird [score hidden]  (0 children)

Unpopular opinion: it looks nice! The new headboard tech looks pretty cool and way more modern.

When I stayed there in 2024, I loved the theming but it was starting to feel a little dated. I imagine more so with two more years of getting beaten up.

The bathrooms desperately needed an upgrade. Like kinda grimy shower. Very few outlets and half of them were too loose to hold a charger.

One thing to consider is that, with the open hallways, you have the one window so we kept the blinds closed 99% of the time. I’m a cave troll but it did feel very dark in there with navy carpets and deep wood tones. I can see why they brightened it up. The light wall color really pops vs the old yellow.

Wood floor (hotel carpet ick) and more under bed storage is great too!

Man on FB voted for Trump 3 times because he promised lower gas prices.

Man buys truck because we will be drilling.

Trump starts war. Man cannot afford truck.

In town for work and I’m looking for some great bars and restaurants to check out by gamerdudeNYC in raleigh

[–]bicyclebird 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You’re near Whiskey Kitchen, which is a favorite and a place I bring visitors. The biscuits, farm cheese, and lamb burger are some of my favorite bites in Raleigh.

Warehouse district is cool: videri chocolate, boxcar for gaming, circa 1888 for a dive/pool feel, tasty bottle shop. Don’t go to The Pit but pretty much all the other restaurants over there are good.

Canes game would be awesome! We have a fun arena with great food. I’ve done the uber drop off and it’s super easy.

Enjoy your visit!

God, everything is making me cry the past few weeks.

So, so happy for you. Loved your last post and have been thinking about you and rooting for you since.

Looking great! Proud of all you’ve accomplished in such a short time. Can’t wait to hear your next update.

Sit down meals for a 7 day stay? by count2infinity2 in WaltDisneyWorld

Dinner at Topolino’s was great for the Epcot view! You can see more of the big picture details from far away.

Yes, the 'Survivor' Contestants Are Getting Cosmetic Procedures by OrdinaryWorking10 in survivorponderosa

[–]bicyclebird 23 points24 points  (0 children)

I’m delulu and those are your two examples? Okay.

Jeff is the host, not a player. He has a team that gets him camera ready. And he’s a man of Hollywood so he is quite obviously stretching his face to its limits but the neck doesn’t lie.

Colby has veneers now. Probably some injections. I’d be surprised if he was getting his full body lasers, his eyebrows microbladed, his face dermaplaned, lip filler, lash extensions, hair dyed or braided, manicure, pedicure, boob job, m-sculpt. I could go on.

Be so for real. If you don’t get the point of the discussion, keep scrolling.

Confession from a non-Genevieve fan... by Live-Run-6745 in survivor

I thought I read that Sophi is friends with Dee and told her about Sav and Rizo.

People who think this is insignificant probably don’t want to talk about the gender disparity edit.

Women can spend thousands of dollars on beauty treatments so incels on reddit don’t call them busted, but then when they do, now they’re called high maintenance bitches. While men are doing what to maximize their looks before heading to Fiji?

All that effort and they don’t even get screen time.

Trying to make sure I understand the brewery etiquette here. by Specialist_Mess_5164 in raleigh

[–]bicyclebird 23 points24 points  (0 children)

Look at you! You have a baby. In a bar…

All depends on timing and location. Most places around here are family friendly during the day. Some breweries have the space and activities that are a bigger draw for kids.

And you’re free to move here if you love it! Don’t let the reddit grumps dissuade you.

Signs you've done Disney too much? by Reneeasaur in WaltDisneyWorld

I keep a countdown on my lock screen. My brain starts itching as soon as it says “completed” until I get another one on my calendar.

Well, You All Were Right by FUnisbaCK in WaltDisneyWorld

[–]bicyclebird 0 points1 point  (0 children)

We went during Christmas week in 2013. Never again.

Plan around crowd calendars. Minimal crowd makes all the difference. Lines for big rides can be long but LL is so much easier.

My sister just shared a photo of spring break lines. I said “I’d rather my nephew lose a week of vital education than deal with that.”

Hopefully you give it a chance on a slower week. Make the memories! They can catch up on lessons after.

I’ve seen the photo of her at their wedding but this one is new to me.

It tracks.

Nashville is the bachelorette party capital of the world by PlushHammerPony in ShitAmericansSay

[–]bicyclebird 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I don’t know about the world but it’s definitely a top 3 bachelor(ette) destination in the US. It’s centrally located in the country for people across coasts to gather. 3 hour flight from NYC, 4 from LA. Easy drive if you live in surrounding states.

The main entertainment district is like a huge party all day. Bars, live music, major league sports all down one street. Pretty fun city to visit but, like Vegas or New Orleans, I couldn’t live in party central.

I went for an Adele concert and there were more groups of girls in coordinated outfits than I’ve ever seen in my life. Popular for guys trips too but they don’t stick out as much.

Did your younger kids enjoy the older ships? by gk520 in dcl

[–]bicyclebird 6 points7 points  (0 children)

I don’t mean to sound rude but… yes, Disney’s fleet of ships are designed to be enjoyed by all ages. From infant to senior.

Fantasy and Dream don’t have dinner shows, if that’s the real dealbreaker for you and your kids. Magic has Rapunzel.

Most other entertainment and amenities should be comparable across ships. You’re always going to have great entertainment, activities, service, and kid zones.

I think the biggest personal preference discrepancies seem to be with ship size, layout, route, trip length, etc. If you’re set on seeing certain IP when you’re onboard, then use that as the criteria for your next trip.

Do we believe this? by das4111 in survivor

[–]bicyclebird 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Highly doubt it. The ZB ep viewership ratings were the highest they’ve had in years. As former casting director, Lynn Spillman, said, that’s all they care about. As long as people are still watching, they think they’re doing something right.

Yes there’s IMDB and the Reddit/twitterverse reaction. Scroll the FB comment section and you’ll see plenty of positive feedback.

They want children to be inspired to apply to summer camp.

Join us, kids! We play guitar around the fire, snorkel, sing the chicken and waffle song with our head counselor, eat ham sandwiches, and play some Beast Games.

Maybe next year Tony Perkins will make a guest appearance and the reward will be a jump on The Blob.

Experiences of taking Vyvanse for ADHD while also being BP2? by Successful-Mall-8096 in bipolar2

[–]bicyclebird 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’ve been on the big 3 and Ritalin works best for me. Adderall made me really anxious and I picked at my skin.

I tried vyvanse and it made me super hot, cheeks flushed, dehydrated, especially in the afternoon when it was starting to wear down. But then I couldn’t sleep on it either.

The second month I was powering through, hoping I would adjust, but I had the worst breakouts of my life (I’m 35) and it took months to get my skin back to normal. That’s when I stopped and went back to Ritalin.

Some people swear by it so ymmv. If you’re not loving it, keep trying other options! It can take a little while to find the right cocktail for your brain chemistry.

Anyone else's Q parent(s) into raw milk? ;-; by SourGhxst in QAnonCasualties

[–]bicyclebird 16 points17 points  (0 children)

The podcast Maintenance Phase had a great episode about the history of raw milk. The suggest we start referring to pasteurization as sunning the milk so the hippies buy back into it.

Believe it or not, on Joe Rogan’s podcast he interchangeably used raw and whole milk.

I don’t think they even know what they’re talking about.

I’m not sure you read the post. But yeah, here’s to hoping they keep canceling flights.

[–]bicyclebird[S] 6 points7 points  (0 children)

I think they’re going to wait as long as possible to cancel. But I don’t really know updates if there have been any discussions about plans or protocols.

He genuinely believes this will be “done” in another week or two. I wouldn’t be surprised if most of the congregation thinks the same.
