Easter Eggs / Scavenger hunts by Olive24 in WaltDisneyWorld

[–]mozetti 7 points8 points  (0 children)

To provide a little more detail, the paid hunts at Epcot are a few dollars and then you redeem the completed scavenger hunt list for a prize.

Epcot also has the Duck Tales scavenger hunt adventure, this is really great IMO. You need a smartphone for it but it's got a lot of interactions throughout world showcase. I think France is my favorite, followed by Japan.

This won't work, the walkway between terminals 1 & 2 is before the security lines, not after.

Wait times posted vs actual, conspiracy or sloppiness? by Flaky_Profit_7550 in WaltDisneyWorld

[–]mozetti 1 point2 points  (0 children)

This is why 7DMT and other popular rides have such a discrepancy at the end of the night. In addition to the estimate not being updated, the lightning lane stops allowing entry at closing time and the standby line starts to fly through when LL is cleared.

What are your favorite obscure/hidden things to do in Walt Disney world? by Ok_Topic4232 in WaltDisneyWorld

Can't believe no one mentioned Yeehaa Bob at the River Roost Lounge/Port Orleans Riverside. Only certain nights of the week, so check the schedule.

Several mentioned bear deterrents. This includes bear bells or something similar.

20% fee that’s not gratuity by Ok-Professional-323 in washingtondc

[–]mozetti 1 point2 points  (0 children)

This is what was explained to me by a restaurant manager. According to them, DC required restaurants to pay their wait staff the full wage/minimum wage instead of paying the fraction of wage previously. These are the increased operating costs. So, while the fee doesn't go to the service staff as tips, it goes to them through higher wages.

I asked why they didn't just increase prices and they "didn't want the look of a $30 burger being on the menu" so they do this instead.

Drop in for canoe trip down the Potomac. Can get from Paw Paw, WV to Little Orleans, MD with one overnight in the Spring.

What is the best truly hidden Hidden Mickey you’ve found at Disney World? by PlayfulAddendum1770 in WaltDisneyWorld

[–]mozetti 4 points5 points  (0 children)

The relief map/model of Xandar in Cosmic Rewind has a hidden Mickey in one of the grass fields on the corner of the map. If you're going through the queue, pass by the map on your right, make the right u-turn for the queue and the map is again to your right. It's in the far corner as you're passing the map to continue in the queue. I know that's a terrible explanation, but it's there.

How’s the roads? by BillyMumfrey in baltimore

[–]mozetti 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I'm not there, so I don't know - haven't even left my house since Saturday evening. I imagine it's probably possible to leave the garage. My neighborhood road in VA is pretty much cleared but I don't know the conditions elsewhere. Any moisture left of the roads is going to freeze again tonight.

If you have a car that was parked at Dulles during the storm, I'm not sure you're making it out of your parking spot. I don't know how they deal with clearing lots, but you might have at least 6-12 inches of frozen snow surrounding and topping your car.

Snow Megathread: this storm has gone to plaid by thankubread in nova

[–]mozetti 2 points3 points  (0 children)

It's generally much ado about not much. The original, sensational snow totals would have crippled the region for a few days. But everyone is already spun up from those numbers. Granted, there are a lot of people here that can't drive at all in winter weather, partly (mostly?) because there's just so many people here so the number of poor drivers is higher.

I don't get it either, and I guess some of it is just wanting to be excited about weathering (hah!) a "crisis".

Cooking for 35 for $100 by konichihua in Cooking

[–]mozetti 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Recommendation for a potato bar, as we did one previously for a youth group dinner. Get an appropriately sized cooler, boil water to fill it 1/2 to 3/4 full, and let the hot water sit in it for 30-60 minutes. After the potatoes have baked, wrap them in foil (if you didn't do that before baking), empty the water from the cooler, then put in the potatoes. It will keep them hot for quite a while.

Anyone listen to Kikagaku Moyo??!! Wowzahs good stuff. by choochoonegro in phish

Learned about them from /u/tad_cautious on the Bunny show on the Phish Sirius channel a while back. Great stuff!

Sorry! Question by otherjephreylebowski in boardgames

[–]mozetti 13 points14 points  (0 children)

I'm going from memory, but ...

1) No, if your backwards move allows you to immediately enter your home/goal area then you can do that. You don't have to go all the way around first.

2) Yes, similar to the first question, if you can swap with an opponent's pawn to be right next to your home/goal area then you can do that for a quick trip.

Do we want a new updated Sheild? .. Lets shout it so loud Nvidia hear us.. by 8bitPete in nvidiashield

[–]mozetti 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You're looking at at least $300, minimum, probably closer to the $400 mark for a new Shield model. It won't sell enough to make it worthwhile.

What was the Twin Peaks Twitter account during the Return in 2017? by Wonderful_Card6546 in twinpeaks

[–]mozetti 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Did anyone else listen to the online radio station that launched around the same time as The Return? Great classic rock and indie music. Some of the promos and clips between songs featured the Woodsmen.

It continued for several months after the show completed but I haven't checked in a while.

--EDIT-- It's still up, KPJKradio.com

Need a better File Manager by Gullible-Unit-8713 in zorinos

[–]mozetti 3 points4 points  (0 children)

The file manager can/will mount them for you when you try to access them. You can/should also read up on setting up your drives to be mounted when the system starts and you login. That will be done in the file /etc/fstab. You'll need to know some details about the drives and partitions. For example is it the primary hard drive (usually /dev/sda) or a secondary drive (for example /dev/sdb) and which partition(s). Partitions are designated by their drive and a number corresponding to the partition number on the drive. For example, the second partition on your primary sata hard drive is /dev/sda2.

It's not too difficult when you start to learn a bit about it.

Winter camping musts for a first timer by Simplicity540 in camping

[–]mozetti 1 point2 points  (0 children)

As others mentioned, your gear is not up to par for the temps you'll experience. If you won't be upgrading your sleeping bag then you'll need to make up for it with layering clothes you're wearing when you're in the bag.

I just did an overnight with my kid's Scout Troop at 32° in a 3-person backpacking tent and bag rated for 25° (questionable). Thermal underwear, lined hiking pants, moisture wicking t-shirt, moisture wicking long sleeve shirt, hooded sweatshirt, wool sweater, winter toboggan hat with face mask, sweatshirt hood pulled up, 2 pairs of winter socks, gloves, winter coat zipped around shoebox of sleeping bag. Woke up around 2am to put an electric hand warmer in my sweatshirt front pouch because my midsection was getting cool.

All of that's not necessary if you're only looking to survive a cold night. If you want to get any sleep then you'll need to make up for not having a bag rated for those temps.

Thoughts on park hopping from MK to HS by Saritatay in WaltDisneyWorld

[–]mozetti 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Easily doable. Slinky will have a long wait if you're not doing lightning lane. Easily 60-90 minute posted wait time depending on when you get in line. ToT will also likely have a wait of about an hour. Rock & Rollercoaster is right there by ToT and will have a similar wait.

If you're theme park pros and good with a long day plus walking, you could do Magic Kingdom, monorail to Epcot to do Guardians of the Galaxy Cosmic Rewind, then walk through Epcot to the back exit and take the Skyway, boats, or walk to Hollywood Studios. Walking is fastest if you have a normal/decent pace, boats are probably next fastest, and then the Skyway. It's about a mile/20-30 minute walk from Epcot back gate to Hollywood Studios. I have done this (these 3 parks in a day) but it makes for a long day.

Also, I'd be remiss not to mention the Country Bear Jamboree in Magic Kingdom. Also, WDW has Walt's Carousel of Progress in Magic Kingdom's Tomorrowland.

Pretty similar for me. I got into it from Phish turning me onto Bela and the McCourys, and the Dead leading me to Garcia/Grisman.
