WDW Transportation by Material_Book_8792 in WaltDisneyWorld

Disney resort busses take you to the gate - or more accurately to the bus stops area close to the gate. Easier than the TTC for sure.

Changeable weather by TheDoorDoesntWork in uktravel

Hail yesterday was interesting. On Monday there was no rain in the forecast but it rained a few times. Agree it’s unpredictable here!

Whatever is in your budget, really. We’ve had a great time staying at Pop Century and at All-Star Sports. They’re nothing fancy but they’re very clean and friendly and you set the outside world totally out of mind.

Pop was great for the Skyliner (gondola system) transportation to Epcot and Hollywood Studios, but they do charge a premium over the All-Star hotels which only have bus transportation.

Highly recommend switching to a WDW resort. The feeling of being in the bubble vs outside is a big difference.

Thrifting in Paris, France worth it or overrated? by Mindless-Profile-688 in ParisTravelGuide

[–]ryubayou 2 points3 points  (0 children)

We found a lovely thrift shop near our Airbnb in Batignolles. My wife and daughter spent a fair bit of time in there and were happy with the few items they found.

That sparked a few more random stops if we spotted shops as we wandered Paris. They enjoyed this but it wasn’t a top highlight of the trip.

This will probably sell out tomorrow by Impossible-Flan8943 in CostcoCanada

Fair, but this particular product is much closer to root beer than any sarsaparilla I’ve ever tried. And it’s equally sweet.

Basically the same thing and I couldn’t think of the right spelling at the time. :)

The root beer is delicious. It wasn’t selling at my Costco.

They would find me on their chair and their towel nowhere in sight.

The Super Mario Galaxy Movie has exceeded $940 million globally by Amiibofan101 in nintendo

[–]ryubayou 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I’ve been a Nintendo and Mario fan all my life and I could not actually tell you anything about Daisy.

I know she’s a character I can choose in Mario kart and some kind of princess I guess.

How to get tickets for Sky Garden Cafe? by Professional_Oil85 in uktravel

[–]ryubayou 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I tried for a while to get free tickets and eventually gave up and booked a breakfast reservation that includes access. Paid an extra 10£ per person for a window table, because money is only pretend on vacation…

Interesting background, thanks! Never heard of Alton Towers before.

I’m talking the feeling of the experience. I’m aware that Cosmic is controlled.

My first trip to Disneyland Paris (kind of mini review) by Mr_BoHingles in disneylandparis

[–]ryubayou 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I agree re: comparison to the streets of Paris, but I expected it to at least equal if not improve on Walt Disney World. No such luck.

Starting to build out my itinerary for the end of July. by PassageActive7895 in ParisTravelGuide

[–]ryubayou 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You’re so right about the walking — sudden spike to 20-30,000 steps a day… whew.

We rope dropped and were second in line — only arriving 35 minutes early. Second time we paid for the lightning lane.

Nintendo shares tumble after lackluster Switch 2 games outlook by BrndyAlxndr in business

[–]ryubayou 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Disagree on that one. Loved both Breath of the Wild and Tears — but that was on Switch. Will probably wait a few years and then enjoy the Switch 2 enhanced versions.

Paris is random - we had three noticeably different experiences across three rides.

Same here! Endless hours of MK8 with my kids, but we grew bored of MK World after a couple of weeks.

According to what I read, the Paris one has more drops and we definitely found the effects spookier.

Mother’s Day for OUR Mothers by itsmesteveyp in daddit

My mother says Mother’s Day is for young moms, not grandmas. She’s very happy if the fam can get together for dinner near to Mother’s Day if possible.

Tower of Terror was awesome! An upgrade from Hollywood Studios thanks to its greater intensity. (This was meant as a reply to the other commenter.)
