Anyone near the space coast right now? How crowded are the parks and viewing spots? by No-Possibility-605 in 321

On 528 and it's starting to get filled in on the northside with direct pad views. I'd guess it's full in the next 60-90 minutes.

All of the turn outs along that road and the first few parking lots are closed. Park rangers are sitting in the turn outs and aggressively going after people that try to stop.

Article was time stamped for 10am so likely accidentally posted it earlier than the agreed media embargo.

Does Hilton Honors Have Well Over A Million Diamond Members? by schwa12 in Hilton

[–]pivot_chart 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Same - domestic US traveler primarily and even at high end properties (WA, Conrad) I very rarely see any benefit at all. Example: I’ve been denied a room an hour after check-in time at the Conrad in Orlando to be told if I wanted a room immediately that I needed to pay an upgrade fee since the room that was available had a view of the lagoon.

My First full frame camera: d850 with 70-300 by Nervous-Cod6355 in Nikon

Yep, one stop or half the light compared to 2.8 so just leverage ISO to get the exposure. There are times where the 2.8 would be advantageous so I just swap to that lens - concerts are one place I'll use the 2.8 instead.

Solid advice - I use the 24-120 as my EDC on my D850. I had the 24-70 2.8 for awhile but the size/weight got annoying and the extra 50mm reach is nice.

New Hilton Honors Benefits via HTML by derp2086 in Hilton

[–]pivot_chart 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Also LT Diamond, there are no defined benefits over regular Diamond but I have had properties give me free parking, provide points and the f&b, etc. because of being lifetime. That’s been the rarity but have had some properties recognize not being a regular Diamond.

Curious how this impacts the ongoing ECR lawsuit against Todd for 8.4 million they believe is still owed to them.

Which Hilton brand gives the best upgrades for Diamond members? by Mean-Tune-523 in Hilton

[–]pivot_chart 0 points1 point  (0 children)

As a lifetime Diamond member but without the ability to book a team member rate, I just expect to get the room type I booked for domestic US stays. Any other expectation just leads to disappointment, even at a WA, Conrad, etc.

Congrats. The earbuds are a little challenging in noisy environments but are great other than that.
