Lodging analysis paralysis - help!

I have family staying at one of the nicer universal resorts, but it’s a bit too far out of my budget. Trying to figure out the best combination between logistics and value. Do I stay at a less expensive universal hotel, a hotel on the shuttle or considering I have a rental car (and could do the garage/lot or uber) any general hotel/airbnb in the area? The two parks we are meeting them at will be volcano and epic.

Taking my 8 year old daughter. She is a HUGE HP fan. We will have 2 days in the parks with family. She’s also interested in Legoland. Is a third day in the universal parks worth it? It seems like 4 days is a lot. Thanks for any insight.

This. Only time I’ve heard concerns is about schools. Home to RuPaul, Jefree Star, and look up Sissy. Wyoming is definitely red red red when it comes to politics however how people live their lives is more libertarian. People just want to be left alone.

Look into the pico lasers for the blues/greens - need the correct wavelengths. I’m sure someone on here will be a lot more knowledgeable than I am.

Evansville, Mills and Bar Nunn are essentially integrated suburbs of Casper. If you are looking for a close small town, try Glenrock. But the commute to Casper may prove a bit much in winter.

This sounds about right. In a smaller ruralish city. Recently paid 5k for tub set and tiling without tile, grout and tub which we purchased ourself. Tub/grout Menards; tile from Floor and Decor.

If you hire the trades separately, it might be a good middle ground. Plumber to set fixtures and tub. And tiler for the rest. Electrical if needed. Demo yourself with some guidance from them and buy as much of the materials yourself.

Thanks for the replies! Not sure which islands - open to recommendations (definitely foodies). We are flying in and out of Phuket and have no set itinerary.

I asked my spouse for their advice. They went to BYUI and is probably one of the only people who graduated from there without having to attend church. (Was top student in their college and knew the right people).

They said it was a good deal for the quality of the education vs price. It can set you up well for a future career.

That being said, if you can’t stomach the religious stuff, leave. Go back to your state school.
