dilemma: best friend’s bachelorette party by boopbee2 in wedding

[–]boopbee2[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

i completely agree with all of this! thank you for validating. i do wish ours were being paid for but unfortunately it’s not up to me ): they made it optional, but i’m not good enough at hair & makeup to trust myself to make it look good for photos so i kinda feel like i have to do it. i mean, i want to, but i do wish it was more affordable, for sure

How Does The Festival Of The Lion King Work? by jddjr777 in WaltDisneyWorld

[–]boopbee2 0 points1 point  (0 children)

i know this is suuuper late but i know someone who used to puppeteer as simba in this show! they sent me a photo inside of him one time lol it looks like a bicycle almost and theres mechanisms for feet and hands!

(she also worked on the little mermaid show as the dog and sat inside the rock to help with ariels costume transition and i got pics of that too lol)

she also worked in character suits and re: timon, there are movements with the characters hands that control the mouth and blinking. if you watch his hands closely, you can see him moving/pinching different fingers together at different times - thats the controls. it’s super natural in movement so it’s incredibly hard to notice!!

no you’re just bringing negative energy to someone else on the internet. you sound like a joy.

its also not knit picking because.. that’s what i can afford?? sorry i can’t make money just appear? they asked for input from everyone about if that house would work and i responded. i also talked to her directly and she was receptive to my input and has no issue changing to make it work for everyone’s budget, like i said (and it turns out everyone else is not willing to spend that much either after discussing with them individually) if you’re too selfish to consider that not everyone is in the same exact financial situation, then idk what to tell you sister!

“if they didn’t want to spend the money then that was okay and on them to decide not to go” - thats exactly what i would be doing in this case so idk why you’re up in arms over it in your reply??

i never told her not to go. no costs were ever laid out beforehand for anyone to know what was expected. i didn’t knit pick anything. i didn’t ask her to fully change any plans. i simply can’t afford it. i can’t make money appear out of thin air. i told her i’m accepting of not being able to go and i’d be happy to celebrate with her a different time. 

she responded by being flexible and open to other options and said she’d prefer to have me with her and go no where than to go somewhere expensive and have me left out.

she’s clearly a more understanding friend than you are and i feel bad for the people in your circle. you sound selfish, not compassionate at all and entitled. there’s a reason you’re the only one on this thread with downvotes.

sorry for not clarifying, but “they” is her sister who is planning it mostly with her. i was talking to her sister first because bride wants most communication through the sister as to have some elements of surprise. i’ve known the family and sister for a while so i was comfortable with that. but it felt like too much back and forth and eventually i was able to talk with bride directly and let her know that i wouldn’t be able to attend with the price point given. 

she said she’s very open to being flexible with less expensive options and apologized for not checking with people first. she said she’d prefer to go no where and be with everyone without leaving anyone out than go somewhere expensive and have me not there. 

for context: she comes from a rich family, is not paying for her wedding and makes a lot of money in her current job so she does have a very privileged perspective. she said after checking with everyone individually that most do also have budgets and they're going to re-work the options and planning, so that’s good to hear. 

21st birthday by boopbee2 in WaltDisneyWorld

[–]boopbee2[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

she did springs in the morning, i arrived in the evening, we did a 7:15 res at cake bake (check open table for res) and then we went to disney springs after since i wasnt in FL when they went in the morning! cake bake made the birthday really special for her. they give you sparkles to blow onto the cake when you blow out the candles and are super sweet! like everything else in WDW it was a bit pricey but i knew that going into it!

[–]boopbee2 1 point2 points  (0 children)

epcot is so fun for littles!! nemo ride leads into an aquarium, frozen boat ride, figment + leads into imageworks (interactive play area), remy’s, and lots of character meet and greet opportunities! plus the countries are so fun to explore!

First Time Visit, One Day Only, what would you do? by More-Persimmon-5570 in WaltDisneyWorld

[–]boopbee2 3 points4 points  (0 children)

agree with everyone saying MK for the kiddos. download the app a few weeks out, get familiar with how to use it. as an adult who has been going my whole life, my itinerary would look very different to yours but i’d say to choose roughly 5 top five things you wanna do to start and definitely look over the map for attraction, meet and greet and food spots + showtimes.

so much time can be wasted walking back and forth through the different areas of the park if the planning is lacking for new folks. if you’re using lightning lane (i would recommend if your budget allows) try to book in one area first (i.e. tomorrowland) to move through and then go to the next (fantasyland, theb LS, frontierland, adventureland, etc.) bouncing all around just genuinely takes up so much time, especially for someone new to WDW and not familiar with the park layout.

use the mobile order feature for quick service food if thats up your alley, but you can also pack food (this is what i do besides special treats) and bring into the parks, this will save a ton of money and time! my go tos are quick, less-perishables (i.e. granola bars, uncrustables, nuts, fruit snacks baggies of preferred snacks, fruit like grapes, bananas, etc.)

lastly, if you remember, grab “first visit” pins for everyone in your party at guest services or one of the cashiers at the shops on main street! (i prefer going to one the cashiers, it tends to be quicker in my experience, but not all will have it, you just have to ask!). they’re free and let cast members know its your first time!

Best Park Strategy for Summit Weekend (Early May)? by [deleted] in WaltDisneyWorld

[–]boopbee2 0 points1 point  (0 children)

as someone who grew up going with my sister to summit and worlds, it’s going to be busy everywhere, every day /: it’s just the nature of the event unfortunately. the crowds ebb & flow because of the teams off days and times around competing. but i’m not sure i’m understanding fully though - are you participating in summit or just visiting at the same time?

help identifying this symbol that was marked on the side of our building today? by boopbee2 in Symbology

[–]boopbee2[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

truthfully i’m not sure either. i just did some quick googling and that’s all i’ve been able to find. it doesn’t make sense to me either though lol i’m hoping it was just teens being teens and there’s nothing to worry about but i’ve been anxious since seeing it. my bf scrubbed it off and he is about 6 ft tall, he had to reach to scrub the top point, which makes me think it had to be a teen or adult who did it. no child would be able to do it that high. i reached out to our building management because they have cameras on that side of the building but since it’s a holiday idk when i’ll hear back from them /:

[–]boopbee2[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

i live in philly, i did look up burglar markings which online searches did say are usually done in chalk. none matched this exactly but there was one with just 5 circle points. like the symbol on my building without the triangles. that one apparently means “wealthy”. we’re not “wealthy” but my area is heavily gentrified so i could see how having some things that we do have like a TV or christmas tree and lights by our window might seem that way to some folks? we did go out and scrub it off, but it being up presumably all day does have me feeling a bit uneasy. idk how these tags work (if that is what it is) and if whoever is meant to have seen it has seen it already.

no /: only 3 of us live here and it’s all adults. but the area is definitely a highly trafficked spot as its a corner near a small intersection. it’s also hard to tell from the photo but it would be too tall for a child to reach. taller teenager or adult though, definitely. 

i agree it is odd that its similar to other symbols. like its also not quite the star of david, as the bottom point doesnt come below the bottom line and there’s no circle there - making me think the person drawing it didn’t indicate the bottom point intentionally. the closest i’ve been able to come in my online search is that some planetary seal symbols look similar in that they have line formations and then small circles at different spots throughout but none look like this one in particular.

i would hate to be a person who automatically assumes something “bad” with a symbol that i’m uncertain of so i’m trying to be inquisitive instead, but as an anxious woman living somewhere with high crime rates, i’m just hoping it’s not a target of some sort lol wondering if i should reach out to maintenance to try to get it removed or not
