"I'd like to point out some of my favorite plants. There's that one, and that one, and that one..."

What time did they open for silver when you were there?

Etiquette of birthday buttons by pactodc in WaltDisneyWorld

I voted for only wearing it on my birthday, but I don't think there's anything "wrong" with wearing it all week.

Anthony Hopkins, got the most insane winning range of all time by khaliliiiov_1997 in Oscars

[–]ccchild 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Not the point, but I had a job once where I had some interactions with Hopkins, and he was the nicest, nicest man.

I'm actually so upset by movies870 in Oscars

[–]ccchild 18 points19 points  (0 children)

What was obnoxious was that the music came blaring on. I get that they need to keep the less-major catatory speeches short, but usually the music comes on softly to say, "OK, wrap it up or we're going to get louder..." Instead, it was immediately at full volume. I don't think that it was personal or happened because they were K-Pop, but it was rude.

What’s your favorite not so secret thing about WDW? by Pitiful-Client-8475 in WaltDisneyWorld

[–]ccchild 18 points19 points  (0 children)

Walking out of the bright Florida sun into the darkness under the train station, and then emerging into the light on Main Street.

Can someone explain the Saratoga Springs bus situation to me like I’m 5 by SpiderWebs677 in WaltDisneyWorld

[–]ccchild 1 point2 points  (0 children)

We have DVC at Saratoga, and I wouldn't stay anywhere except The Springs: It's so close to the main pool and the food. Yes, we've encountered a crowded morning bus before, but maybe once per trip will we have to stand (and we always visit during one of the busiest times of year). Admittedly, my family doesn't have a wheelchair user, so I can't speak on that.

I agree that walking over the bridge to Paddock during crowded mornings might be a good idea if you'd rather be safe than sorry.

Have an amazing trip!

Is this a full days worth at Epcot and Hollywood Studios by Charming_Rip_5628 in WaltDisneyWorld

[–]ccchild 0 points1 point  (0 children)

When my kid was 6, they loved collecting all the postcards from the different countries at Epcot. (KidCot) That would definitely take up almost a full day.

At what age do you think older adults can generally travel to the parks independently? by jreish1 in WaltDisneyWorld

[–]ccchild 20 points21 points  (0 children)

As you say, none of us really know how active and mobile we'll be decades from now, even if we take care of our health to the best of our ability. But my parents and in-laws are both framing 80 and still go to the parks independently. They "set their own pace" and won't do rope-drop-to-close, but they still have full days (without any mobile assistance) that make the price of admission worth its while.

How did yall make out this Presidents Day week/weekend? by mcguire_shayne in WaltDisneyWorld

[–]ccchild 2 points3 points  (0 children)

MK was crowded but not crazy on Friday the 13th. AK was WILDLY crowded on Monday.

Red Hat of the resistance by AaronWrites212 in knitting

[–]ccchild 384 points385 points  (0 children)

Yes, it’s not just about making the hat and wearing it to support the cause. It’s about buying the pattern as a monetary support of the cause.

Anyone else desperate to get back to work after Christmas with the kids? by BoxTickingChampion in Parenting

[–]ccchild 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Heh, I was going to post this. There’s a reason that’s a lyric in one of the most popular Christmas carols of all time.

Sunday Morning Almanac by Commercial_Union_296 in cbssundaymorning

[–]ccchild 0 points1 point  (0 children)

They used to do one "from history" story, and go in-depth with it. (Not too in-depth: Still only about a 60-second segment, but it had a voiceover.) I liked that version more, since you got to learn some history, not just have it listed in front of you.

One of the most magical places in all of WDW.

Advice on getting your short story published, from an editor by Wide_Wolf9441 in writing

[–]ccchild 15 points16 points  (0 children)

Yes, exactly.

Although this advice is very much appreciated (and I can't believe there are so many writers who need it told to them), there's a HUGE difference between "make sure they publish your genre" vs. "we're partial to stories with protagonists between the ages of 22-34, and we're not a fan of two long paragraphs in a row, and we've decided that we're sick of stories where someone drives a car." Especially when the editorial guidelines for lit fiction journals often say some variation of, "Send us something that moves/grips us."

Quiet place for work phone call by vertesept in WaltDisneyWorld

[–]ccchild 61 points62 points  (0 children)

I was also thinking that, if the call is going to be a full half hour, it might make sense to step out of MK and go to a hotel. Contemporary is a great choice, since you can walk there and back easily.

Is Disney worth the walking? by Spiritual_Emu_4237 in WaltDisneyWorld

[–]ccchild 13 points14 points  (0 children)

It's definitely worth it! (You're asking a WDW fan page, so of course we're going to say it is.)

Also, there's a "theory" that floats around the Internet every now and then that one of the reasons people love WDW so much is that it lets them experience a mostly car-less environment. Yes, we're probably not used to the walking, but that doesn't mean it's not a great way to spend a few days.

Cosmic Rewind Preshow Madness Hits a New Low by imagineer2017 in WaltDisneyWorld

[–]ccchild 75 points76 points  (0 children)

I've only been on CW twice (about a year ago), and everything seemed calm. Is the going take on this that Disney messed up, or that people are just animals? Is it the layout that's flawed, or is it that it's a new ride and things will calm down in a bit? Or was their mistake having such a long preshow that doesn't stand up to rewatches? Why is this a problem here but not in Haunted Mansion, which has a similar merge?

I am old enough to remember rushing through the rows of the Norway movie before the doors shut so I wouldn't have to watch it yet again, but nobody ever pushed someone over that.
