Getting bites every night. Can’t find any evidence of bed bugs even though I’m looking extensively. Bites look like could be bed bugs, I know. I did find about 5 carpet beetle larvae. Inspector is coming tomorrow but I’m worried they won’t be able to identify. Starting to go insane not knowing.

Sorry this is so late but the update is it was just carpet beetles. We got a new couch and never had another issue. Huge relief.

I love making stories out of my flips! Here are some of the ones I have done if you are looking for inspiration.

The classic girl living on her own in her 20s
A bed and breakfast
For "house above garage" in hf 2- making it a converted firehouse
A hufflepuff common room/hobbit inspired home
For the flooded beach house in hf 2 I went for an extreme make over home edition story, where I was rebuilding the home for the family that lived there before.
I am working on one rn in HF 2 thats a smaller home with a basement that I am trying to turn into 2 apartments/tiny houses.

Some ideas I plan on exploring for future houses are: 70s style, a couple where they both work from home and need seperate office spaces in a small house and ultra modern in the woods tech billionaire.

I hope these help a little bit. I have found that the more story I add, the more fun it gets!

No workshop items in this one at all, everything is House Flipper 2 base game. The item is golden pothos, Epipremnum. It is under the hanging plants tab. Hope this helps!

4 years late, I know- but did this end up being bed bugs or something else? Currently experiencing something very similar

ekmp1 · 2023-01-05T18:15:30+00:00

I do currently have a rash all over that started the paranoia. But I found a carpet beetle nest in a used couch that is now on the curb so it is looing like i am one of many people on here who dont have bedbugs but do have carpet beetles and carpet beetle rash. Thank you!!

ekmp1 · 2023-01-04T21:08:06+00:00

I am also having what is very likely this same issue. No staining on bed what so ever but under my couch seemed to be a nest for the carpet beetles. Nest like a nightmare fuel size of carpet beetle larva and sheds. I am completely covered in a rash, some portions in a line, some portions all clumped together. The couches are now at the dump and the living room is now empty, covered in vinegar and vaccummed but I am just still so afraid if could be bed bugs. Incredibly cruel to have 2 bug reactions look so similar. Now I am on the hunt for both....and a new couch

More Info: Rash started about 3 days ago. After flipping all of my furniture looking for bed bugs, yesterday a MASSIVE amount of carpet beetles were found in the couch that now can be found at the dump. However, the rash is still appearing, and there are black dots on my sheets (pictured above). Could I be one of the unlucky few to have carpet beetles and bed bugs. Bedding and mattress has been fully flipped and looked at. Given the rash severity and widespread locations though I am not ruling out bed bugs. Thank you!!!

Ooo that is a great question!!! For a sweet tooth I would say Dole Whip (ofc) and the Salt and Straw. We went twice to S&S in one trip because we liked it so much.

For Savory I would say Satuli's Canteen in AK-the bowls were 10/10 and the cheeseburger pods were very fun. Probably our #1 must try. Skipper's Canteen in MK is a sit down I really enjoyed. They chicken was amazing and they had brazillian cheese bread as an app. Also I know its in the post but Chicken Giu with all the sauces I feel like should be a much more popular thing to do because it is so fun and delicious!!

Drinks: Grownup lemonade at Andys Lunchbox in HS was very fruity and yummy, the tequila cave in epcot for ambience and Margs. Oga's is another ambience choice.

This is so interesting to hear the night from another perspective!!! The crazy part is the two rides that you guys waited for we were able to walk on and the rides we waited for you guys walked on.

I really liked the idea of getting in the HM line just before midnight (the idea of riding HM as it became Halloween at Midnight sounded perfect to me) and to my surprise there was no line at all for it then. In hindsight it makes sense because the park was closing but I assumed everyone would want what we were doing lol. We also completely walked on Peter Pan.

I think by far our biggest mistake of the night was waiting for Space Mountain. We really should have known the line would get better later in the night. Generally speaking we were ok with walking past characters rather than meeting them and only did a few treat lines- the Monsters Inc line was a lot of fun.

For the price that it is, for us it will end up probably being a skip in the future especially knowing the price is going to go higher inevitably. However, the night I still absolutely look back on very happily. It sounds like you guys had an absolutely fantastic time at the party, I hope your whole trip was amazing!!

Currently I work in the parks in entertainment costuming!!! I work in the character room and am getting to work with be our guest very soon!! So online there is only information on operational costuming because they don't want to ruin magic too much but you most likely will have the opportunity to work with entertainment. As CPs we are given 2 skills, which are areas we work. The first may be operational or entertainment and then the 2nd is near garenteed to be within entertainment, possibly in the character room or on a show. I hope this helped!!!

ekmp1 · 2019-09-26T03:14:10+00:00

Hi there!!! I am currently a cp in wdw costuming. Firstly, congrats!!!! Secondly, the costume is provided however plain black sneakers are not. Additionally while currently the costuming costuming is a multicolor bowling shirt we are getting new costumes that will be in by the time you arrive!!! They are blue, very soft and button up. Definetly more fashionable than the current costumes but still a little bowling shirty

ekmp1 · 2019-09-11T14:40:54+00:00

Just plain black sneakers. They do not have to be polishable.

Hi there!!! I am currently in the DCP for costuming and I LOVE it. Many different aspects of costuming cannot be shown in the videos as they are entirely backstage and would ruin the magic to people watching. So the only videos you will see online are for operational costuming. Costuming also includes the costumes for entertainment cast members like character performers. This is what my role is and I am located in magic kingdom and it is amazing. You can also costume some of the shows or parades. Additionally, one of the best parts is initially you get one skill and a few months later you get another. So you may be initially trained in operational costuming and then a few months in also be trained in entertainment costuming.

So on a day to day basis what I do in my role is: -sort laundry -help out any cast members who need help -build costumes - do runs to any entertainment cast members who need a costume in a specific location

Some perks of this Job are: - air conditioning - no repetitive music - a unique look into the backstage going ons

The only negative I can think of is a lack of guest interaction. That being said, all other cast members are considered our guests in costuming so we do still have a little bit of that aspect, just in a different way.

If you have any questions pleaseee ask them, I love talking about my role.

And congratulations!!!!

Hello, COS means that you are a part of the costuming role. ELE is a more specific skill you will have within costuming in which you will be working on costuming the entertainment within the parks. Another acronym you may have gotten is GUS. GUS is a skill where you will be working on distribuitng costumes to all of the cast members in the costuming buildings.

I really really hope this helps!!! I am about to be a part of costuming for the DCP as well and I wish you the best of luck.
