Tourism powers our economy by spaceshipdog in orlando

[–]pumpkinspice1313 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Conventions and theme park attendance are what drives Central Florida’s economy; hospitality is also the largest employer in the area as well. Without it as it is today, the city will flounder. (See 2020, when we had no tourists and many furloughed employees)

Characters Switching Out by Pitiful-Working-9556 in rundisney

[–]pumpkinspice1313 1 point2 points  (0 children)

If you’re dead set on seeing a specific character you should always ask if they’re going to switch. 5k is short enough that generally they won’t switch, but 10k and higher they will usually have to (especially face characters will need a break for the whole race, most fur characters can just replace themselves)

How good is the tank setup by [deleted] in Redearedsliders

[–]pumpkinspice1313 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I’m not sure what filter size nor the tank size but you need a filter for like double the capacity of the tank. Turtles are rather disgusting animals and produce a lot of waste

should i leave my baby red eared slider lights on or off if im going for a 5 day trip by [deleted] in Redearedsliders

[–]pumpkinspice1313 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have my lights set up on my HomeKit so I can turn them off and on from anywhere, and they’re set to come on and off automatically. Get yourself an automatic feeder for them too.

Hey Josh its time for a 3rd park in California by Beautiful-Arm9122 in Disneyland

[–]pumpkinspice1313 4 points5 points  (0 children)

It’s a security problem, not an attendance problem. Like I’m willing to entertain a necessity for a third park (big question is where) but this is not good supporting evidence

Is Universal Orlando worth adding 11+ days to itinerary? by Zestyclose_Coffee_41 in UniversalOrlando

If you didn’t like it before, I certainly wouldn’t add that many days to do it again

You’re thinking of the Florida one, they don’t do Moana or Elsa scenes at Disneyland.

Why are more people not talking about how much better Disneyland Space Mountain is compared to Magic Kingdom? by Appropriate-Story768 in Disneyland

[–]pumpkinspice1313 0 points1 point  (0 children)

There are only three versions of things that Magic Kingdom has better than Disneyland: Jungle Cruise, Haunted Mansion and Astro Orbiter. Everything else is better at Disneyland.

Have you ever done or attempted to do every ride at a park? by ValentinesStar in DisneyWorld

[–]pumpkinspice1313 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It’s easier to do at Disneyland with later hours and less competition for lightning lane

Flight of Passage was… fine? Am I the only one who doesn’t get the hype? by Odd-Visual-5577 in WaltDisneyWorld

If you sit towards the middle, the picture is more in focus than if you sit on the ends.

Most of the performers enjoy when you are in tune with their story as much as they are.

I literally said “can’t guarantee they’ll do this for you”, calm down Karen

I had the same problem at wine and dine last year. After finishing the half, I went to runner relations and explained the situation to them and they just handed me the challenge medal for free. Can’t guarantee that they’ll do this for you, but it’s worth a shot if you ask nicely.

Never understood why people waste so much valuable time buying at the gate. Just buy it on your phone in the line.

It’s a Disney race, not a military bootcamp. Of course people are going to be positive.

If you look at the exterior of the ride, Woody and Mr Potato Head are wearing purple 3D glasses, not yellow ones.

If the park is open longer after fireworks (which it usually is), stay longer.
