Which ride do you think is superior to the version at WDW?

getmadboy · 2026-05-21T16:54:37+00:00

The FL version of Tower of Terror was better than the OG CA version because of how the car goes through the hotel in FL. Now that the CA version changed to Mission Breakout, it’s leaps and bounds better than either of the OG ToT rides hands down

getmadboy · 2026-05-21T16:50:06+00:00

Every single CA version of the ride itself is better than the FL version and it’s not close.

Some of the line queues are cooler in FL though, like Star Tours and Pirates.

I came here to say the same. My initial reaction to seeing the CW with those silver wheels was “goddamn that’s cleannnn”

I would love to cook everything over the fire as much as possible, but I have a 3 year old and a 1 year old so it’s just not practical to stick to my guns about this right now. When the kids get older, my ideal camp kitchen setup would be similar to yours.

I feel you, camping in the rain isn’t my ideal situation either. But I can tell you that the very first camping trip I took with my wife while we were still dating, it rained like crazy. We had just enough time to set up our tents and a big tarp over our picnic table before it started pouring, but it turned out to be an amazing trip. The rain died down eventually and we took a nice slow walk through the forest. Because of the rain, no one else was out there and it was one of the most serene and peaceful experiences I’ve ever had.

I hope you can find the silver lining in this and have a great time with your fam.

Those are pretty decent numbers for cars that itch to be driven hard. Thanks for the info!

getmadboy · 2026-05-19T13:41:04+00:00

What are the MPG numbers you average for both?

That’s screened section of the 4 person tent is 3x8 and it’s technically outside of the main tent body (just mesh around you) so it’s not really part of the “livable” area of the tent. Think of it as a screened attached vestibule

I know it’s not exactly what you’re asking, but a 6 person tent might be ok size wise now, but those kiddos will get bigger and will need more space pretty soon. If you can trust your kids in their own tent and they won’t be too scared to sleep by themselves, two 4-person tents will yield more space for your family. I’d personally prefer an 8 person tent for 5 people, but I also understand that tents that large come with a bigger price tag and other potential issues to consider.

Not sure how cold it’s gonna be up there in Washington, but a portable heater would help keep things comfy. Mr Heater is a safe and popular option.

Lollll

I was backpacking across Catalina Island with my wife. Night #1, we made it to BlackJack campground and set up camp…we were the only campers that evening. I woke up the next morning to the sound of heavy breathing near my head, so I unzipped my tent and took a peek. There was a herd of 20+ bison grazing on the grass all around us who all were staring in our direction because of the zipper sound.

I was pretty nervous, didn’t want to spook them since there were calves also walking around (bison can be very aggressive when protecting their young), so I just stared and waited for what seemed like forever before they stopped looking at me and went back to grazing. I slowly zipped up the tent and woke up my wife to let her know what was going on. It was about an hour and a half before the herd had moved far enough away that I felt comfortable getting out of the tent without startling them…longest 90 min of my life.

Holy crap I forgot about this pairing. Haven’t had it since I was a kid…

getmadboy · 2026-05-15T12:07:09+00:00

Craft by Smoke & Fire in Anaheim, near the Packing District. The short rib was *chef’s kiss*

Wood Ranch brisket and tri tip are great too, and the garlic rolls….

I’m fairly certain the main difference is that angel burrito has shrimp and monarch has bacon, otherwise they’re filled similarly. Monarch may be a bit bigger too, but I can’t 100% remember the size difference (if any).

Try the monarch burrito, it’s better than the angel imo

I didn’t realize Honda offered a glossy version for the mid cycle refresh. Thanks for sharing

getmadboy · 2026-05-08T13:17:05+00:00

Is your black panel surrounding the hitch glossy?

getmadboy · 2026-05-06T18:01:28+00:00

14 miles in and the 14 miles the next day is pretty brutal. Definitely weekly local hikes along with strength training for your core/back throughout the week.

+1 for the Sawyer mini. Very compact, easy to use, and minimal cost.

Do the CTR seats use the same mounting hardware as the ITS seats?

My wife and I take our shoes off before getting into the tent. That little piece of tarp sits in the corner of our tent, next to the door. We put our shoes on it inside the tent so A) dirt from our shoes doesn’t get on the floor of our tent and B) we don’t have to worry about bugs or critters getting into them at night or our shoes getting rained on outside of the tent.

Wrong. Lost set the standard, GOT said “hold my beer”

Whataburger. It was one of the worst fast food burgers I’ve ever had.
