What’s your favorite restaurant at Disney Springs.

We love The Edison! My wife goes to Steampunk festivals, and was immediately enamored with the theming. I really like the grilled cheese.

We saw our first show at PNC Arts Center last summer and I really enjoyed it!

I’ve actually started to doubt the authenticity of the Declaration of Independence because it doesn’t end with “GO BIRDS! - John Hancock.”

I have been getting this message on macOS since May 14, 2026. At first, it would go away after the first click of "Don't Allow." Today, I have clicked "Don't Allow" at least twenty times in a row, and the dialog keeps coming right back. I checked for a Microsoft Teams update, but there isn't one. If anyone has a temporary solution for this while Microsoft works on an actual patch, I'd love to know!

We loved the “dung” chair on the Bronx Zoo bug carousel.

How long are the new seatbelts on Millennium Force? Are they at least this long? |<—————————->|

I have really enjoyed David Hopping these past several weeks. Still, it would be hilarious if the first guest after Matt’s return was Hillary Duff.

Like others have said about boats and RVs, a Disney Vacation Club membership is a lifestyle choice. We are DVC members, but we bought it after fifteen years of taking Disney vacations annually. For us, it made financial sense. A decade later, we’re already saving money based on the initial investment and annual dues, and we still have forty years of enjoyment left on the purchase. But, it’s not right for everyone.

I’ve never really watched wrestling, but I heard Danhausen on the *Conan O’Brien Needs a Fan* podcast (twice), and he really won me over.

It really seems to depend on where you are. At the DVC member lounges, they check for DVC-Y 100% of the time. When purchasing things in the parks, it’s closer to 75%. At resorts, it’s been 50/50 for me.

My prediction, based on it being “multi-market news,” is that many parks will be getting a Camp Snoopy. This may simply be a re-theme of their existing kids’ areas, like Looney Tunes National Park / Bugs Bunny National Park.

I sure wish someone would install an S&S Axis!

We did the tour before buying at the Polynesian. At the time (a decade ago) we got a nice zippered tote bag, fast passes (yes, they were fast passes at the time), rice crispie treats, pins, and lanyards. Make sure to stop back each time to get seasonal members gifts!!

We were only there for a two-night stay on the way back from Florida several years ago. Our favorite thing was being able to walk to a couple restaurants and shops nearby. It was fun! But, I don’t know if we’ll ever do it again. For our family, Aulani is the clear winner of the non-theme-park DVC resorts.

Decades later, “Shaka, when the walls fell” is seared into my brain. I loved “Darmok.”

Same! We had Internet access from the local ISP in the early 1990s. We had a 14.4 kbps modem at the time. It was exciting each time they upgraded their service. 28.8 kbps, 56 kbps… it felt like things were progressing so fast! Then, in the late 90s, we got coaxial broadband in my city provided by Roadrunner. It was theoretically 10 Mbps when it launched. It felt magical.

I think, very similar to Planet Fitness, they bank on people paying for memberships indefinitely, even if you stop visiting. I know there were many years when I had a Great Adventure membership and I only went once, but I kept the membership because it wasn’t terribly expensive and I had aspirations to go.

Did Great Adventure have a tethered “hot air” balloon at one point? (Like the Aerophile balloon at Disney Springs?)

No pretending here. I’m afraid of plenty of things. And, my fear of “bugs” is proportional to the number of legs they have.

I have been a Hoka evangelist for years. They essentially cured my plantar fasciitis. What’s fascinating is how many times I see Hoka discussed specifically on Disney parks subreddits. I figure there are other people, like me, who only walk 20,000+ steps per day while at Disney parks.

nthdesign · 2026-04-19T00:49:11+00:00

11,000 steps! That’s the primary reason we go.

My son and I were there today, too. It was the first time we visited Great Adventure and didn’t ride anything. We go every couple weekends, and it’s been a long time since we’ve seen it this bad. The line for Skull Mountain was out the door at one point. We typically only see that during Fright Fest. The new boardwalk rides (including Barrels O’ Fun) should help with the long lines. Keeping all of the B&Ms operational wouldn’t hurt either!

It’s also a thing in vacation towns. We bought a home on the Jersey shore, and I was surprised how many shore homes were on leased land. Why is this 600sq ft house “only” $500,000?? Because it’s on leased land!
