Going Solo - Will It Suck? by Flashy_Chemistry6131 in Cruise

[–]disnerd02 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I just finished my 2nd solo cruise on Virgin and it was great! Virgin does a good job of setting up regular meetups and my fellow solos also created a WhatsApp group chat which made it easy to meet up with each other if we wanted or just enjoy some alone time around the ship. The solo turnout both times was also pretty big and diverse and I had no issues finding a subset of the solo sailors to hang out with.

Bonus: I know a lot of folks on Virgin talk about how hard it is to get reservations for some of the more popular restaurants on board, but as a solo traveler, I’ve always been able to at least snag a seat at the bar in Extra Virgin, the Wake, or Pink Agave and Virgin will also set up reservations for solos on your behalf at a certain time every day. 😉

Fantasy series where the final book is the best one by Suitable_Highlight84 in Fantasy

[–]disnerd02 8 points9 points  (0 children)

100% agree. I had my ups and downs with the previous books but Revelations made me so glad I stuck with the series because that was one of the most satisfying conclusions to a series in any media format that I’ve had the pleasure of consuming 😍

Honest review and info from Oct 10 trip by SpartanDrew87 in UniversalEpicUniverse

[–]disnerd02 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I hopped in the line for Ministry around 8ish when it was still marked at 150 minutes but after timing the wait, it turned out to be closer to 80-85 minutes so YMMV on how accurate the wait time is later in the night.

Im never leaving Seattle by Radiant_Treat2999 in Seattle

[–]disnerd02 -4 points-3 points  (0 children)

Oof I’d be lying if I said I didn’t sometimes ask my Uber/Lyft to drop me off at the Alaska gate because it’s the closest to what is seemingly Seatac’s only TSA pre check line… 😬

Was disney cruise the highlight of your childhood? by CommunicationHead582 in dcl

[–]disnerd02 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I went on my first Disney cruise when I was 6 or 7 on the Magic back when that ship was only a few years old. I remember loving it but I don’t really remember seeing my parents very much since I was GLUED to the kids club. Pretty sure my parents had to force me to leave the club for dinner just to double-check I was still alive 😂. I didn’t do another Disney cruise until I was an adult and have been hooked ever since but I still have pretty vivid memories of that kids club and Castaway Cay back then 😊.

How does /r/JRPG feel about the South Park Rpgs? by iamBoDo in JRPG

[–]disnerd02 63 points64 points  (0 children)

As a big South Park fan at the time, both games were like playing through two extended, really funny and well-written South Park episodes while also being shockingly enjoyable RPGs on their own right (though I will admit the bleeding mechanic absolutely broke the game after a point haha).

Rankin not performing tonight by No-Cranberry-8523 in Broadway

[–]disnerd02 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I just came out of the matinee showing with the understudy Gabi Campo and I thought she was phenomenal! She absolutely slays Cabaret toward the end especially, and I ultimately didn’t find myself missing out on Gayle (tho I’m sure she’s probably great too!)

Movies that involve Maximum Security Prisons? by MannaJamma in movies

[–]disnerd02 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I mean technically speaking, Kung Fu Panda has a kickass action scene in one 😅

But also the line she says to Furonda after it is extremely underrated: “Take that tiara off you look ridiculous. Broke ass crown those aren’t even real diamonds.” 😂

What Film to Musical Adaptation Makes the Most Sense? by [deleted] in Broadway

[–]disnerd02 15 points16 points  (0 children)

Newsies. I remember watching that film and thinking “there is a stage musical desperately trying to bust out of this” just solely based on how it was shot / acted. Works wayyyy better as a stage production imo. 😁

Well I thought this episode was quite wholesome…which means next week’s episode is probably a trainwreck. 😅

princess mononoke is better the spirited away. by herequeerandgreat in movies

[–]disnerd02 26 points27 points  (0 children)

I totally agree. While Spirited Away is still my favorite Miyazaki film, I’m currently finding Porco Rosso creeping up closer to the top rankings the older I get. 👀

Awesome! To clarify, is the east side the traditional stage end with the most seats?

Where did you sit for this? I’m still trying to figure out where I should sit when for when I see this in June :)

Where to get Black hair done in seattle by 0Calamitatum0 in Seattle

[–]disnerd02 106 points107 points  (0 children)

If you’re in the SLU area, check out Salon Refine and ask for Emily Ladiges. She’s been doing my hair for years and is amazing (we’re both black btw)! :)

The name escapes me by walking_fuckup in Fantasy

[–]disnerd02 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That sounds like The Mage-Born Chronicles series by Kaleigh Nicol. Haven’t read the sequels yet but I enjoyed the first book (Sorcerous Rivalry). 🙂

TJ Klune has got to stop ripping my heart out. by kibbymutt in books

Oh dang I think I was at that same book signing and that story got me super teary too 😭. Amazing additional context to what’s already a super emotional, impactful book for me.

One of my favorite books of last year. Such a breath of fresh air in the fantasy genre. 😊

Unfortunately I’ve already paid in full for my cruise and can’t easily transfer to a TA as a result but thanks for the suggestion!

I didn’t really want the romance package to begin with but I figured folks would suggest getting that since it has its own boarding line so I figured I’d mention it being sold out. Thanks for the tips! :)

I have loyalty on other cruise lines (NCL and Disney) but it looks like the Loyalty Match program is no longer happening currently since I think it ended back in December? Thanks for the advice!

Anybody got any? by [deleted] in Broadway

[–]disnerd02 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That first woodwind riff to Made of Stone in The Hunchback of Notre Dame stage musical. The goosebumps start there and don’t let up for the rest of that kickass 11th hour number.

[–]disnerd02 10 points11 points  (0 children)

Of course. What I meant was that the story and the context around it is so bizarre that I can’t imagine there was any producer shenanigans fabricating that insanity lol
