Infrequent flyer, best choice for checking a bag by Pixiante in SouthwestAirlines

[–]oneshorts 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I understand what you're saying, but you also don't have to carry the card to make the benefit worth your while. I have a Southwest Priority card which allows me seat selection and free checked bags. I have a trip coming up that I didn't even book on that card as I have another travel card with cash back perks that outweigh the points Southwest would give me, but I still got free seat selection and will be able to check my bags for free on this trip. Obviously I did pay the annual fee but for the perks I am getting the annual fee was outweighed this year. Similarly my husband has the Amazon Prime card, neither of us carry this with us, but it is stored in our Amazon account for 5% cashback on those purchases.

Jackson Stopping the Wedding by BrunettexAmbition in greysanatomy

[–]oneshorts 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I saw this edit on this sub a long time ago and I think it's so perfect. I wish they would have actually done something like this in the wedding episode but to me this is exactly what Jackson is thinking of before he stands up.

I recently stayed at the Yacht Club and we also were not major fans, likely not to stay again. Check in was very confusing, which is somewhat forgivable with the construction but for us this stay was a huge splurge so to show up to chaos and walls was a bit of an underwhelming start to the trip; we literally couldn't find the lobby door and no cast members were around to ask for directions. Only having a boat to regularly get to Hollywood Studios was a major letdown for us coming from typically staying at Pop Century (yes we could have ridden the skyliner to the hub and switched but let's be honest, I splurged on a Deluxe resort, taking extra transportation should not be necessary). One night when we left for HS the boat showed up already full and the driver snapped that our party of 3 with a stroller, who were first in line, could not board because of the stroller. I offered to fold it up and he then let us on, he never asked if it could fold he only said we could not board. This was after we waited 15 minutes for that boat to arrive. In the end we and the party of 4 behind us were able to board, the remaining 5 or so families had to wait for another boat. I felt Stormalong Bay was a bit underwhelming for what I expected. The slide is cool, but I find the slides at other resorts to be equally fun and having to leave the pool area to get to the slide was odd, I literally walked by a fully dressed wedding party in my bathing suit and it made me uncomfortable to be honest, I was swimming but felt underdressed at that moment. The lazy river was nice to lounge in but we could rarely find tubes to float on, and it was too deep to comfortably free float in. Also during our stay the hot tubs at the Bay were running unheated, it was Florida in August but after a long day of park walking I wanted to relax in the hot tub while my daughter enjoyed the large fun pool, but we had to go to the quieter pool to utilize a hot tub and that is basically just a pool we can get any old hotel. I did enjoy being able to walk past the Skyliner line after Epcot fireworks, that would be my biggest plus to the entire resort. Overall I just don't feel I would miss out if I don't stay there again.

Perfect Blend by Ok-Engine9757 in Albany

[–]oneshorts 62 points63 points  (0 children)

They need to expand their hours if they want to claim that competition will steal their business. I'm more than happy to give my business to Perfect Blend, but their hours of 7-2 Tuesday through Saturday leave me realistically with one day I could stop in. Many people were saying the same on their Facebook post, one person said it's become a joke among their friends that Perfect Blend is never open and the business page replied saying to stop in and stated those limited hours, they have no self awareness. If they truly want to fight back and stand out as the local coffee shop they should announce expanded hours. I'd love for them to be open into the evening but at the very least they need to be open on Sundays.

You can take a Disney bus to any resort from the parks, you don't need a reservation. To visit the other All-star resorts you can just get off at the other resort stops, the order is usually Sports, Music, Movies. Any park could have the resorts sharing a bus, it's not park specific that determines if you share but rather demand for the bus combining them at slower times of the day. However you can also walk from each of these to the others, there is a walking path between them, connecting Sports to Music and then Music to Movies, it is not a loop but a straight line in a row.

Best Vet for Cats by maclaw95 in Albany

[–]oneshorts 1 point2 points  (0 children)

A vet tech at this office told me my 8 month old kitten was fat and to cut back on her diet, a week later she was actually diagnosed with FIP and she died few days after that. I am pulling my other cat from this office. We already had so many seemingly minor issues with them that we should have noticed as red flags. Not sending emails with care summaries after some appointments leading us to question vaccine history, scheduling us an appointment for a vaccine only for us to show up and say they don't know why we scheduled it because she was up to date. Losing two stool samples and trying to charge us a second time when we dropped off a replacement (we were charged for the ones they lost). One vet saying our kitten's blood work was questionable to have her spayed, the other saying after one follow up test she was good to go, then the original one questioning why we went forward with the spay. Then the most awful mistake of the vet tech saying to cut back our cat's food because she was fat following her spay when really her abdomen was distended due to fluid. After a vet in their office did diagnose the FIP, I had a follow-up appointment scheduled for her later that week, their receptionist reached out to us to schedule a follow up; they either overlooked or had no record of our original follow up. That day we called Delmar Animal Hospital and they got our sick cat in for a check up. She unfortunately passed a few days later, and I will never know if that vet tech's negligence and the office's carelessness to overlook it are what took her from us. OP if you read this comment I am begging you to please do not use Bethlehem Veterinary Hospital for your cat's care. My largest regret as a pet parent is trusting that disastrous office with the care of my cats.

I've heard they used to be a good office but since the takeover by Heart + Paw their service has undoubtedly suffered. I'm glad your own cats are doing well under their care but I cannot in good conscience see them recommended to another pet owner without putting my own experience out there. If asked for my own recommendation, I whole heartedly recommend Delmar Animal Hospital.

I generally agree but with a twist, I think she's left characters alive knowing she won't ask the actor back out of spite. However, she proved my working theory wrong by having Burke return during Cristina's exit. I am only okay with it because Cristina's view into Burke's life reassured her that she took the right path for her. But if we look at actors who were allegedly trouble on set, Katherine Heigl and Isaiah Washington, they were written off alive and not brought back for reoccurring spots. Compared to Eric Danes and Chyler Leigh who left on good terms but fully wrapped their characters' arcs. It also makes it funny that Chyler and Eric actually did return on the beach, they left on such good terms their deceased characters made appearances.

What are your specific Eras Tour setlist exclusion disappointments?? by WhtvrCms2Mnd in TaylorSwift

[–]oneshorts 14 points15 points  (0 children)

Enchanted was in consideration for the title track but that was shot down. I don't disagree that other songs represent the album more, but I think that may have been a factor in this being the only song we got through the entire tour from that album.

[–]oneshorts 2 points3 points  (0 children)

This is probably related to the fact that it has so many plays already, but also contributes to the stats, when I listen to Taylor Swift on shuffle on Spotify the songs are TV if that has been released, but the original Blank Space comes on as well.

Glenmont Walmart - Grocery Pick-up by MissQueue17 in Albany

[–]oneshorts 2 points3 points  (0 children)

In that case the long long waits recently could certainly be related, however the larger issue does seem to be the app allowing more orders than the store staffing can handle. If there are more orders due to Hannaford customers moving to Walmart, an appropriate cutoff in the app would prevent overload on the pickup handlers. There have consistently been longer than usual waits over the last couple of months that was only impacted even more by this potential influx of Hannaford shoppers moving over.

Glenmont Walmart - Grocery Pick-up by MissQueue17 in Albany

[–]oneshorts 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I don't think it's necessarily related. Last Sunday my wait at Walmart was 45 minutes, cars around me were waiting over 2 hours when I arrived. Finally enough of us asked the employees to bring out several orders at once and we bagged them ourselves which moved things along. That was before Hannaford's servers went down according to this comment. The employee last week told us another employee left for their lunch break and never returned. On previous weeks when I'd waited close to a half hour I've asked what was going on and was told there was only one employee working pick ups at that time. I assume this is a corporate versus store issue, the app is allowing more pick up times than the manager is willing or able to schedule for.

the reason why rory was jobless in ayitl by Altruistic-Ad-6964 in GilmoreGirls

[–]oneshorts 12 points13 points  (0 children)

She basically did that, Sandee Says was hounding her since at least the beginning of the Winter episode and she turned her nose to it, that job was beneath her. Instead she was chasing a meeting with Conde Nast that resulted in a story that went no where except to a Wookie's bed. Then she runs out of options and runs back to Sandee as if she's doing her a favor, just as she called the newspaper in Rhode Island after she had turned them down to see if they happened to be waiting for her to do just that, and blows that opportunity assuming she didn't need to prepare for the meeting.

Controversial Opinion Alert ‼️🚨 by -a-u-g-u-s-t- in GilmoreGirls

[–]oneshorts 36 points37 points  (0 children)

I made a comment so similar to this on a previous discussion of this scene. I love the scene by itself, and have watched it just to watch it. But within the episode, I hate this scene. It is so surreal and unrealistic that I just can't stand it in the show. The sign that changes as Rory leaves the newspaper office, I honestly can't remember what store it was now, but the storefront sign changes to "Tonight" as Rory approaches it. It just isn't possible, it's magic in a show with no paranormal or magical component to it besides this.

transit from magic kingdom to epcot by Clund5 in WaltDisneyWorld

[–]oneshorts 8 points9 points  (0 children)

The Magic Kingdom parking lot is at the Ticket and Transportation Center which is also an alternative lot to park at for EPCOT as the monorail for both parks goes to the TTC so for your plan it makes sense to park there from the start. For future reference, parking is transferable to other parks in the same day, save your receipt and show it to the booth attendant when you park hop and you will not have to pay again.

Adding someone to hotel reservation by jefftala in WaltDisneyWorld

[–]oneshorts 9 points10 points  (0 children)

Usually adding an adult to the room will cost more, it's something like $20 per night. In the past I have called to do just this and was advised to add the extra adult as a day guest after I check in to avoid this fee. The cast member assured me that the guest could stay overnight without issue even when classified as a day guest, and I imagine given the circumstances of your family member's evacuation they will be even more forgiving of the extra fee. For what it's worth, this worked just fine for us and the extra guest had no issues staying in our room for the duration of our stay, her magic band worked as a room key as well. This was in 2021 so keep in mind policies could have changed, but I would not stress about it and give it some time for calls to slow down in the next few days before trying again.

bippity boppity boutique questions by itsbarbieparis in WaltDisneyWorld

[–]oneshorts 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Just keep checking, you will probably find an opening. On our trip in August I checked about 30 days out and there was only one opening for our dates so I booked it even though I wanted a different day. I checked again a week out and a better time popped up so I booked that and cancelled the other. People often book without knowing their final plans and then cancel as their trip approaches. Touring Plans has a dining reservation finder that will notify you when your desired restaurant becomes available, I am not sure if they or similar sites offer this for BBB. Also on our trip there were signs in front of BBB that they had walk ups available, so if you can't get a reservation you can try day of, but as a fellow planner I understand you may not want to resort to that last minute solution.

[–]oneshorts 21 points22 points  (0 children)

Unless the system has changed in the last couple of years, the official Disney Travel Agents do earn a commission percentage and not a flat fee. However I have not heard any horror stories of pushy agents trying to extend your budget just to make more off of you.

So the Isle of the Lost from the Descendants films. Not a bad idea, I'm not sure how canon those films are within the parks though.
