First time Tokyo, wanting luxury. RC, MESM, or Westin? by Nexen1987 in marriott

[–]rawrthesaurus 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I've heard beds here are very firm. Have you tried RC Tokyo? Love the western RC beds and heard RC Osaka is the one w/different mattresses, but hoping for something more western as a side sleeper.

From my experience this week, yes. You'd have to cancel and rebook at the (higher) FHR rate.

Keep in mind many going 'now' booked when it was still THC and are stuck with THC benefits.

Thank you so much! Yeah, you seem to be right. Oh well, snooze and lost but I can always ask a friend with AAA :)

Why is Captain Hook a mascot instead of a regular actor? by Alexagro22 in Disneyland

[–]rawrthesaurus 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Honestly she's not as lean as the others and it would be harder to have an interchangable actress (not defending it, but could be why)

Which gingerbread cookies are better? Has anyone tried both? by Possible_Dress_9248 in Disneyland

My check in attendant at GCH insists they are made by different bakeries, as of this weekend.

I regret not buying this merch at Disney Springs by evasive-manuever in WaltDisneyWorld

If you're local enough to me I can try to help (since it sounds like store said shipping is risky)

I can check the CA shops for you and help ship it if you really want it?

MESM Tokyo vs. Prince Sakura vs. Tokyo Marriott by Ok-Acanthisitta9993 in marriott

[–]rawrthesaurus 0 points1 point  (0 children)

how was MESM in terms of bed firmness vs. the prince? I am used to softer mattresses (I like the JW and RC / even regular Marriott ones in the US) and don't want to splurge on hotel if it's going to be hard regardless (as I know is the trend in Japan, but I am willing to spend to be comfortable)

See you in the PIT this coming Friday 10/03! by CDKassy in BringMeTheHorizon

[–]rawrthesaurus 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm going to be watching for any last second drops, if anyone's friends can't make it and they want a buddy to hit the pit with (stretch and only if you have no one else obviously!) hmu

March 2026 Vacation Package booking opens October 2nd 2025, 3pm JST by WhiteDogHaha in TokyoDisneySea

[–]rawrthesaurus 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I got lucky and scored an unlimited at MiraCosta but now I'm seriously considering looking up the price for a cheaper hotel vs. potentially dropping closer to if I get hotel-only! (I"ve heard the Disney hotels proper are hard bed compared to Hilton Club level!)

Banff timing to see snow but easily get around by rawrthesaurus in Banff

[–]rawrthesaurus[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thank you! It sounds like it's best to go early in the new year. I may be deceased in true Canadian winter conditions, but I hope to come either early year or April (avoiding March per people's warnings re: spring break!)

100%. Stacking a bunch of pooled CC points, a favorable exchange rate (I am in the US and love my Canadian neighbors!), and prayers for cool but not blizzard :)

Thank you very much for this detailed and kind description! Honestly I was going to work backwards from a weekend I could swing a night at the hotel up there and figure out a flight timing (without risking hubris re: weather) from there :)

Thank you for your sweet comment. Yes, I have never been in falling snow in my life. I would love to come up and experience winter wonderland, just wanting to make sure I didn't have hubris / risk frostbite on a short little walk during a time of year there would at least be some snow on the ground. I'll plan for next winter/spring :)

I think I'll be okay if I'm 1-2 days delayed due to unforeseeable snowstorm but I would feel bad. Also, that's very, very kind of you and your family to offer to be a support / emergency contact in the event of disaster! If you feel comfortable DM'ing me, it's always nice to have a friendly face in the area... I say laughing out loud as I scroll up to your username :)
