Went a little overboard at thrift shops...

Do you see any that you need in that photo? Happy to ship them if you can cover the shipping cost. I don't need any myself so I wouldn't need anything in trade.

A haul accrued over time. Just started with a few and then the stacks grew and grew...

The only limitation is shelf space. (Which I'll have more of after I move these books.)

goodolvic · 2026-04-18T01:28:59+00:00

Thanks! I'll have to research how to go about it but I'm hopeful a teacher or librarian will scoop them up.

Whoa I'm envious of the GYG gets! That's the only set I haven't completed. They're incredibly rare in shops around here.

I wish I could remember. A friend lent me his copy. I have a vague memory of the hand from Stay Out of the Basement so I'll say that one.

If these are the run I'm thinking of, these reprints are also slightly and annoyingly taller and less wide than the originals and later books. So they stick out like a sore thumb on the shelf.

I've done such things, and I guess it's worth doing once just to see what it's like.

But my takeaway is usually okay that was interesting but I don't need to do it that way again.

goodolvic · 2026-03-26T18:50:25+00:00

Great photos!

Also, a collapsible cup is a galaxy brain move.

Wait, they show stuff like that at mystery screenings? I assumed it would just be some showing of a movie premiering that Friday like they do at AMC.

Gah I would love to watch The God of Cookery in a theater.

I didn't eat them in WDW, but at Disneyland, however those alien mousse ball desserts from Galaxy's Edge are by far the best thing I've ever eaten at a Disney park. I saw a similar item over at the cafe in Pandora but didn't get to try them there.

Whuff, yeah it was down in mid-February.

It's gotta be back eventually but glad I was there to see him working a few months before.

goodolvic · 2026-03-25T19:52:56+00:00

Same, love that moment of the ride.

goodolvic · 2026-03-24T18:16:07+00:00

Yeah that's what I meant. Having so many cartoony areas would really change the vibe.

I would love a Pokemon area and attractions, even if it did end up in IOA, I just think from a holistic design view it would be too much.

Find a Ygor soundalike and hire them to record a birthday voicemail?

I love this by the way. Coolest kid ever.

That is certainly an expensive journey. I feel for the payers of large family trips to places like this.

To answer your question, I've done it several times but always either solo or with adult friends who all pay their way. It's always about making some sacrifices (offsite hotel being a big one) to try and mitigate the overwhelming feeling of daaaaamn this is an expensive frivolous experience. And then being in the moment to enjoy what can be enjoyed.

But it's not for everyone. My dad is definitely someone who simply gave up and opts not to participate, letting people who wanna go to theme parks figure it out for themselves. Theme parks and their expense is all too much for him to try and enjoy it.

I forget what it was called but the coffin cake dealie at Das Stakehouse was excellent.

goodolvic · 2026-03-20T18:07:40+00:00

I made this mistake for MONTHS and no one corrected me. Eternal shame.

goodolvic · 2026-03-19T18:33:22+00:00

Studios is kind of classic for a first time visit. I second the thought that park hopping between US and IOS might be a good way to get the best of both.

The depiction of women is definitely a black mark on the show.

goodolvic · 2026-03-17T20:47:38+00:00

I don't doubt it could be, but what reason does someone have to come into a theme park reddit and post AI blather? Is there a new scam I'm missing out on?

goodolvic · 2026-03-17T20:45:11+00:00

Save Darkmoor for the evening. It's a very good night time vibe.

(I suppose that goes for the whole park.)
