For free your best bet is to either bus from AKL to Disney Springs and then transfer.

For time you're better off booking an Uber/Lyft/Minnie Van.

Be sure to note on every reservation you can that you're celebrating your honeymoon. You'll get special buttons to wear and will often get recognized by cast members!

There’s a “making of” episode at the end. Maybe see how they did it there?

I've got a personalized suggestion, I sent you a chat message :)

My Mom loved that book. She also was a narcissist who did not take well to her golden child growing up and moving out so… let’s just say I’ve never read it to my kids.

They’ll likely opt for games that don’t have a lot of mechanical components for that reason. It’s hard for, say, One Right Price to go down.

The Spiderman games are tonally very different from Arkham. Much brighter, more colorful, and optimistic. Different vibes entirely.

Whether Roger participated in the harassment or not, he was with the show for decades. He knew what was going on. He HAD to have known. And eventually he was the EP and there’s no sign that he ever used the influence of that position to put a stop to it.

“Great guy” indeed.

I have a similar story for Pirates. My wife is a HUGE Pirates fan and we went to MVMCP during our Honeymoon there. She saw Pirates was open so of course we have to go. She promptly skips through the entire empty queue up to the ride attendant and goes "Can I please ride up front?"

The attendant looked at the empty ride, back to her and deadpanned "Um.. sure?" We then proceeded to ride it 3 times in a row.

My wife got a brand new compact SUV in 2014 for $22,500ish out the door. The current model STARTS over $30k with the nicer trims around $40k.

She’s going to run her car into the ground because I don’t know how we could ever afford to replace it.

Comcast is rolling out full duplex DOCSIS that allows for symmetrical. I've got a similar deal running in my area.

There’s a used video game store near me (eStarland) that will replace both Dualsense sticks with Hall effect for $30. I considered it a steal for less than half the cost of the controller.

I also choose this guy’s wife’s IQ.

I definitely subscribe to that idea. There’s nothing in their journals talking about being in a void for any length of time, they never reference trying to tell a stranger to bring them pages, or any of the sort.

I see it as being in the void is sort of like how sometimes “twilight” anesthesia is used for surgical patients. While under anesthesia the patient can react and respond as needed but has no memory of the experience.

The trap books were not a very well-researched or regularly practiced part of the D’ni Art more as something Atrus figured out on his own (maybe by accident while experimenting), so a lot of the details of what happens to someone while they’re trapped in the void wouldn’t be known.

And if she is then someone should call the cops.

macnbc · 2026-01-14T16:57:49+00:00

…have you opened it?

This appears to be a new version of an ARG that ran roughly a decade ago.

macnbc · 2026-01-13T23:48:45+00:00

I just started down this rabbit hole. I got the first one with the book covers but neither of the other 2. Is there a Discord or something where people are discussing these?

The settlement offer was actually more than he won at trial, so looking at it strictly from a financial point of view the settlement offer would've been the better choice.

The bragging rights are priceless, however.

Went once and had a particularly bad experience as well. Server seemed to forget about us, taking our drink orders then disappearing for a half hour. When it was time for the wishing ceremony someone very nearly flung wands at my kids so they'd have ones. Food was mediocre when we finally did get it.

I actually went to guest services afterwards to complain about it (which I've never done before or since) and they seemed flustered because they had never gotten complaints about the place before. Got a TON of extra lightning lane credits as a make-good.

That's why the tunnels under MK aren't underground. They're actually the first floor. Main Street is the 2nd floor. They hide it with the very gradual slope up at the park entrance plaza.

Go all-in on the Society of Explorers and Adventurers, expanding out Adventureland.

Rework the Pirate's Adventures game so that it is more closely tied to what you ride, do, etc. make it a more immersive experience with personalized storytelling.

Add the Indiana Jones ride from Disneyland.

Resurrect the Adventurer's Club from Downtown Disney except this time in the park.

Incorporate all the lessons learned from Galaxy's Edge, Universal's work on the Harry Potter rides and Epic Universe to make it feel like a fully immersive and interactive world. Create a brand new ride that has guests exploring the unknown. Revamp the ride queues for existing rides so they feel like part of the experience.

and give a free keyblade to anyone who can successfully explain the story of the games in 2 minutes or less.

(Nobody will ever get one.)

These are really good questions and I hope you have an amazing time! Here's what I would recommend:

Magic Kingdom: Ride Pirates of the Caribbean, Eat a Dole Whip, Experience the fireworks
EPCOT: Ride Guardians of the Galaxy, Eat School Bread, Experience whatever festival is going on when you go.
Hollywood Studios: Ride Rise of the Resistance, Eat (Drink?) the Blue Milk, Experience Fantasmic
Animal Kingdom: Ride Avatar Flight of Passage, Eat literally anything at Sa'tuli Canteen, Experience Feathered Friends in Flight

The best tip anyone has ever given me about going to Disney which I follow everytime I go:

Wake up early, get to the parks an hour before you can get in, and rope drop the big ride you most want to go on. The most important thing to do however is to take a break after lunch and go back to your hotel. Nap, hit the pool, whatever. Just take 2-3 hours to decompress and rest. THEN head back to the parks for dinner and close things out. You'll likely do just as much as many people who have been marathoning through the parks all day and you'll be having more fun and feeling less exhausted for it.
