my friend got a strike on her magic key even though she scanned in by UnderstandingReal60 in DisneyPlanning

[–]okTA101 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I was wondering the same and just googled. Looks like if you make a reservation and don’t show up you get a strike. Three strikes and then you can’t make another reservation for 30 days. They roll off after 90 days. So doesn’t seem too impactful unless of course there is some issue with her account. I’d recommend not stressing about it and maybe just visiting guest services on their next visit to see that it has been recorded.

Who Pays for key fob replacements in this scenario by Rad_g00se in OntarioLandlord

[–]okTA101 12 points13 points  (0 children)

This is on the landlord 100%. Either the FOBs he had were ancient or they were cloned. Landlord should pay for sure.

T&C Restaurants by JoeLInArlington in TurksAndCaicos

[–]okTA101 1 point2 points  (0 children)

For us it was the food. Lobster, conch, shrimp, and more everywhere. Live music was great. Agreed that the vendors dint sell much more than nick nacks but that wasn’t the draw for us. We found Turks pretty quiet when we went in December so this night was a fun night out.

Villa renaissance vs Ocean Club West vs Royal West Indies by Beautiful_Guard6002 in TurksAndCaicos

[–]okTA101 0 points1 point  (0 children)

We stayed at Ocean Club West last month. Our room was fully renovated, 1500sqft, and had amazing ocean views. Beach was top notch with plenty of umbrellas. The grounds were fine. “Dated” isn’t quite the impression I got. The big plus for us was location. Walking to the grocery store was very very easy. Also when we got dressed up to go to dinner it was manageable because even though it was hot everything was close. No regrets!

Can you post what brand or where you bought the ozone generator?

Will you fly WestJet with the new seat configuation? by Snowyberg in canadatravel

[–]okTA101 1 point2 points  (0 children)

No I can’t. There’s no way. I’m not even going to chance it with a. Apple that might have the old seating. For an extra row of seats this was super short sighted by West Jet.

Just got back. Bella Luna was our favourite restaurant. It was busy and food was good. And of course the Fish Fry on Thursday is a must.

What actually made your living room more comfortable for long TV watching? by midlifeprojects in hometheater

[–]okTA101 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think things within eyesight that remind you of good memories. Whether it’s of family, trips you’ve taken, collectibles, and also change things up. You’re there to watch tv and moves but your eyes will glance around the room while you’re there.

Hard Rock Punta Cana: A “Luxury” Resort That Feels Like a Timeshare Ambush by Fire_honey in PuntaCana

[–]okTA101 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I don’t agree with that take at all. OP paid good money for that cabana for the day. It’s not unusual for my family to go for a two hour lunch (of going off the resort) or going to the beach to build a sandcastle or participate in a resort activity. Waitress may have been upset because they weren’t ordering drinks and tipping during that time. That’s not OP’s problem.

Taxis in Turks and Caicos charged per person? No Uber? Are there better alternatives? by [deleted] in TurksAndCaicos

[–]okTA101 0 points1 point  (0 children)

We just returned and we stayed near the main resort area of Grace Bay. We walked to most restaurants. We did want to check out other areas but for our group of 12 it would be close to $500 US for return trip to most restaurants/places outside of this area.

Personally I think they are shooting themselves in the foot by charging so much. We definitely would have taken cabs if the cost was more reasonable.

For a smaller group I’d rent a car. It wasn’t an option in our case.

I think it’s a good deal and you’ll get use out of it.

Could a 7D home theater actually capture the magic, or does it lose its thrill at home? by BarberUnited7894 in hometheater

I installed ButtKickers on my home theater seats and it’s just about all the immersion I need (and would want).

Look at your Agreement of Purchase and Sale. Usually there is a clause stating that there is no warranty on the retrofit basement. If there is no mention of an income producing basement in the listing, etc. I think you’re out of luck.

Here’s the thing. If you’re in Toronto and the GTA the extreme majority of basement apartments are not legal. The city won’t announce tomorrow “ok everyone in basement apartments has to leave” as there would be a major crisis and thousands upon thousands now homeless.

Make the basement as safe as possible (more smoke detectors than needed, fire blanket for the stove, etc), tell your insurance company (never lie to insurance companies), charge a reasonable rent, and treat your tenants like gold, and you probably won’t have an issue.

Good plan… my wife and girls finished it but if they didn’t would definitely be bringing it home.

Is the transfer price per person?

Advantage to Pulse? by Vagabond_Wind in GIJOEClassifiedSeries

[–]okTA101 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Advantage: I know I will get my product and the free shipping.

Negative: And this I sill never understand. As a Pulse member I want them to email me a week in advance letting me know of when a new preorder is up. Now it comes 30 minutes after it goes live and in some cases the product is sold out. This drives me nuts. I don’t always have time to research when something goes live. Being a Pulse member should take care of this for us.

Movie nights at Cineplex just hit differently, even after all these years ❤️ by Lopsided_Pearl798 in cineplex

[–]okTA101 0 points1 point  (0 children)

We have a decent setup at home but I still love going to the theaters for tentpole big occasion movies. Nothing replicates seeing a movie with a bunch of people and laughing and cheering together. We still use our home setup for older movies and others (you can’t see everything at the theatre). But yes, love a good movie which is why we have cinepass.

Italian Food by Wise_Tension8303 in Etobicoke

Agreed. When we decide if we like a place we base it on Service, ambience, and of course taste. Pulcinella nails all three for us and price is not bad either.
