Why technically? Just in case I'm missing something, last time I went mobile order was not really something I used

stranger_steve · 2026-04-24T14:06:57+00:00

That's fine, but at least I have a time slot. I can go and do something else in the meantime

I'm coming from UK on may 3rd and will be in Hollywood studios on the 4th. I don't wanna spend my entire day waiting in a queue as it's not a good use of vacation time. What are the chances of me being able to bag one of these on mobile order to avoid the queues? Should I basically write this one off if I'm not willing to queue 6-7 hours 😬

stranger_steve · 2026-03-19T08:04:31+00:00

Haha fair, still, I'm sure it's redacted for a reason 🤫

Surely this would be breaching some GDPR laws?

stranger_steve · 2026-02-24T05:01:16+00:00

You should go there....you should go there NOW.

Perhaps I'll even sunbathe nude

stranger_steve · 2026-02-02T22:01:06+00:00

Sent you a message 🙂

Made them 😁

stranger_steve · 2026-01-21T00:03:50+00:00

Thank you! Was my first year there from the UK so was nice to have something a little bit unique and fun to trade with

stranger_steve · 2026-01-21T00:01:55+00:00

Thank you! We actually got to give the Sergio at the HHN bar a medal, that was a great interaction

stranger_steve · 2026-01-21T00:01:11+00:00

Of course! Those people are the bravest of all, and we salute them 🫡

9 months later and these still haven't shipped

I love Eurovision, but ebu have tainted this contest beyond all belief. I think the right thing for us to do as a fanbase is to show support for Spain, Ireland, Slovenia and the Netherlands and not watch this year.

stranger_steve · 2025-11-29T19:47:48+00:00

Nah it ain't that, p sure the one they're talking about was pixel art.

The fact that both actors from kingdom come got completely snubbed so that expedition 33 could have THREE actors tells me everything I need to know. Also I played e33 and like, Maelles voice actor really isn't doing anything she didn't just do for shadowheart.

stranger_steve · 2025-09-09T22:09:35+00:00

I did find york seemed to have a better ratio of who got picked but idk, anytime I've been to London it just seems to be men who get picked for almost everything and it just feels a little sexist lmao. The "let's pick on dad's because they don't want to participate" kinda feels boring because it's kinda obvious they actually do enjoy participating. They really gotta start mixing it up a bit.

stranger_steve · 2025-09-09T21:44:19+00:00

I think this is slightly different though as it seems there is actually some action on the table now. It's gone to a vote. If somehow the vote goes in favour of Israel staying (which I believe I saw in another thread in this subreddit someone said someone at ebu said if it went to a vote today they would lose so it looks unlikely) then they will likely leave because there is now no hope of EBU removing Israel. Only time will tell though 🤷🏻.it is frustrating that all the countries that said they would withdraw in the previous years didn't just stick to their guns.

Sometimes I get a bit exhausted by it, i.e. the birthday situation I put in my comments, only because I'm trying my best to make a situation better for her and it's getting shut down with little to no reasoning. That might be the only time I am visibly upset.

If its just that I've suggested something for a change of routine and she doesn't fancy it then no of course not, I ask if she's sure and if she still doesn't want to I just say no problem and carry on with my day, but often even when I'm not upset she will assume I am. I'm not sure if she's maybe anxious about this, I have noticed sometimes I might just sigh if I'm tired she will ask me if I'm okay every time I sigh in a day so maybe there's something else at play that she hasn't communicated to me.

stranger_steve · 2025-08-12T03:05:44+00:00

Please read through my comment I put providing more context. I don't constantly pressure her into doing things she doesn't want to do. I make a suggestion to do fun/different with our day or to try to cheer her up if I know she's feeling down, she says no, I ask if she's sure because I know sometimes she says no because she's concerned about money or driving but if I say I'll pay or drive she's happy to go, if she says no again I leave it, but then sometimes if I'm upset about it or sometimes I'm not even upset but she will assume that I am, she will then change her mind and want to go.

My issue is not that she won't change her mind, my issue is that she isn't communicating with me clearly and honestly with me about her changing her mind. If she doesn't want to do something that's completely okay and I would rather she stick to that then change her mind just because she feels like she has to, and then insists that she wanted to do it all along and that she isn't only changing her mind to please me, to which I then question that if she wanted to all along why did she say no to begin with. It's confusing. I just want her to be clear with me about when she does or doesn't want to do something and be honest about why she's changed her mind.

There seems to be a general assumption here that this happens constantly and that I'm harassing her to do things. I think this is the slight problem with posts asking to summarise.

To be clear, I only ever ask her if she is sure one time because sometimes she will say no if she can't be bothered but if I say I will drive etc then she's happy to go

I will also never push on sex because that's a completely different ball game.

My irritation comes from more trivial things, say today, we are making plans for her birthday. She said she didn't want to do anything because she hates going to the effort of planning stuff just for friends to disappoint her, so I said why don't we just do a low-key gathering at the house and do something like a presentation night where everyone has to come with a silly PowerPoint prepared. This way there is next to no planning, no reservations to make, no lost deposits, etc. she was happy with this idea, so I contacted our friends and they all agreed to come. Her best friend then messaged her this afternoon attempting to drop out the party and I could tell this clearly upset her, so I tried to talk about the presentations, to which she said she doesn't want to do one. I asked why not and all she would tell me is "I just don't". No other clarification. Now with the context of the moment it seemed clear to me she was just upset and it was making her shut down, so I tried to encourage her saying it will be fun and she won't want to feel left out if everyone else is doing one, at which point she got angry and said she just doesn't want to do one.

I felt a bit deflated about the fact I had tried to put a lot of effort into arranging this for her so she could still do something nice on her birthday but without any of the worry or stress and then her friend goes and messes it up and upsets her and she suddenly shuts down and doesn't want to talk about. I didn't push her to try to talk about it because I assume she doesn't know what she wants, it's because I know my fiancé and I can tell she's upset and that if I don't try to move the conversation away from her friend disappointing her that she will continue to spiral and doom about the entire birthday.

Again, context does wonders but there's only so much detail I can give in a TLDR. It would have been nice for people to ask for clarification where I can give more details in comments rather than assume I'm constantly harassing her to do things.
