    Does your stomach drop on Guardians of the Galaxy?

    I've been on it 7-8 times and don't remember any drops, and never had any motion sickness or dizziness issues... give it a try, you'll love it!

    How many years do you get out of a mattress?

    From what I'm reading in the responses, firm mattresses are good for a lot longer than the softies, especially the "non-flippable" pillowtops. Our experience pretty much echoes that, we have one super-squishy pillowtop King that's still great after 2 years but also a super-squishy pillowtop...

    Two Questions on EVs

    I've had two EVs and drove 130k on one and 160k on the other, and yes there should be one universal connector and the industry is moving toward that (and there are EV forums with endless threads on this topic, kinda like the DIS with threads on FP+ and people cutting in line, etc). There used...

    Discovery Cove

    We've been there 8-10 times, last time was a couple months ago, DW loves it. A quick tip from experience - we had a reservation in Nov 2016 for a Monday and it was unseasonably cold and windy, like upper 40s F which is not really conducive to walking around in swimsuits. We showed up for our...

    City/State rivalry thread

    I've driven in all 50 states, and the worst drivers for hanging in the passing lane and holding up others is Maryland, and it's so annoying.

    SHADES OF GREEN at Walt Disney World Resort Information & Questions

    Yeah prices have definitely gone up, I checked my 2014 spreadsheet (don't have older than that one) and regular room was $123 per night (is now $224) and IIRC the garage was $6 per night (and see from the above that it's now $17 per night). That's the main reason we started staying offsite...

    People 💩 In Line At WDW

    On a past trip I saw a teen walk by with a t-shirt that had a jumping-for-joy stick figure and the words "I Pooped At Disney!" silly me I thought it meant in one of the restrooms...

    pros and cons of checking in on the app for your flight

    We just had a trip last weekend, they didn't scan boarding pass at security at either end, they scanned our IDs (and I expect that then searched the reservations for the airlines that are at that airport) and we didn't scan the boarding pass until heading down the jetway. Paper or mobile passes...

    Colorado Springs, CO

    I lived there 2000-2004 so things may have changed since then, but I drove my car across that suspension bridge as well as walked across it - it's fun but definitely not for anyone afraid of heights. I drove to top of Pikes Peak 4-5 times, whenever friends would come to town - we'd go inside...

    What is going on with the trams?

    I don't believe the above is correct - I was there every day last week and visited 3 parks each day and 4 parks on a couple days, and every time I was at MK or AK (morning, afternoon, or evening) there were two trams running where one would be moving and the other loading or holding until the...

    What was a big news story when you were growing up that young people today wouldn't have heard of?

    Tylenol bottles being tainted and harming some people (I think this was 1983), leading to more tamper-proof measures on many products.

    Ambitious 3-4 park hop in ONE day - help needed!

    I say definitely start at AK (and skip the TS meal unless it's done well before you would leave to make a hop at 2pm) - and I'll be at WDW that day and will have my car so if you two want some assistance during your adventure send me a DM... and in any case good luck and have a good time!

    Anyone renew their Sirius XM radio subscription lately?

    Yep, I did the same thing 3 days ago when I saw the pending charge of ~$24.84 per month instead of the $7.27 - I went on the chat and just like the above, they were very ready to lock things back at the lower price and I sure am not paying $24 per month!

    4th of July - Best park

    We were there July 4 2019 pre-covid, planned to watch fireworks at MK but the park was so mobbed we decided to go to EP instead and enjoyed the fireworks show much better there.

    eBay Time Wasters

    That's why after listing my used iPhone for the 4th time I edited the description to say "PLEASE no winners who don't pay, as I'll have your address and will be able to send the Jehovahs Witnesses and Mormons to your house to discuss honesty with you" -- though I've never done it I figure maybe...
