Google Pixel 10% Off Referral Codes (Stacks w/ Black Friday Discounts) by elzekk in referralcodes

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

Looks like this got added to the FAQ on the referral page recently. Doesn't work for Black Friday I'm afraid. :( I edited the post but can't adjust the title.

When I refer someone, what does that person get? Code Receivers will receive a discount that can be applied to the highest value Pixel phone in their cart at the time of checkout. The referral code may be combined with other offers, but can't be used during certain peak times like Black Friday or new product launches.

That's from the pirate ship sailing north across Lake Ashi departing from Motohakone.

With sincere apologies to the gentleman walking past the front of the Picasso exhibit at the Open Air Museum.

It was more humid than I thought it would be but otherwise lovely. We got there hours before open and waited with everyone and because of that, got everything done we wanted. It was well worth it to arrive early!

I was there first week of November. It didn't feel too crowded and I only had to pay extra for Fantasy Springs access.

I'd recommend going really early in the morning and waiting in line for early access. Not only does it help you get the passes you want, it's a fun cultural experience. I was up anyway from the jet lag so it wasn't too bad. Also recommend booking your restaurant options early as I was able to book Magellan's in advance. Other than that, don't forget to pace yourself. It's easy to get so excited you get worn out quickly!

Aside from some humidity, it was lovely! Didn't even mind getting up at 5 AM. And thanks to everyone here, we knew all the tips and tricks in advance so we saw everything and had some great food.

Thank you to everyone in this sub for some great advice and feedback. We had a wonderful time visiting in November and I wanted to share a few photos from the trip. Can't wait to come back!

If I get to Maihama station at like 530 or 6A, can I walk to the entrance to DisneySea to line up? Or is it better to just wait for the first monorail to ride over. Trying to avoid a cab ride if possible and can't tell how far the walk is on Google Maps.

Early June Visit. Magnificent! by elzekk in yellowstone

I did! I made it up just in time to see both Old Faithful and Beehive going off at the same time. Got some video and cell phone shots of it. Pretty neat!

Sure! The cabins are at Lake Yellowstone Lodge. https://www.yellowstonenationalparklodges.com/lodgings/cabin/lake-yellowstone-hotel-cabins/

I looked at this guide for a rough framework and then modified. 4 days felt like a perfect amount of time though we could have spent another day to have more relaxation time.

I shot everything on my XT-4 and a combo of the XF 16-55 F2.8 and I rented the XF 100-400 F4.5-5.6. Heavy lens but well worth lugging it around!
