    Brightline Train opening soon

    It can take an hour and a half to get from FLL to port of Miami in current traffic. I live in S. FL. This winter snowbird season is 10x worse than it has ever been. Reports are the population in counties Palm Beach and points south is higher than it has ever been in recorded history.

    What is with the Horrible Wait times???

    MK was reasonable before 2 because park reservations weren’t available for at least the past week for the Friday-Sunday dates. Thus everyone booked an available park and then hopped.

    Brightline Train opening soon

    I don’t know how many of you have driven in the Miami area lately, but south Florida has become so congested since everyone moved here post-covid that if you can get from Orlando to Miami in 3 hours by car, I’ll eat my shirt. Unless you’re doing that drive at 3am, you are looking at more like 5...

    Brightline Train opening soon

    Brightline has been running in S FL for a little bit - I took it from WPB to Aventura and I think it was $18-20. Not including station parking but they partner with Lyft and you can arrange a Lyft to or from the train station.

    What is with the Horrible Wait times???

    I was just there for nearly two weeks and with the exception of slinky dog, we waited about half of what was posted for rides. I felt the lines were actually very short, but the parks themselves were physically crowded. I am guessing the long waits are keeping more people wandering about in the...

    I was recently at the B Resort and this is the shuttle information they gave guests.

    Single shamed at Space 220

    Wait - multiple people have said there are tables in the restaurant (which is what was booked) that are physically next to lounge tables. The OP was seated at one of these tables. They reserved the restaurant, and got a restaurant table. It’s true at many, if not most, of WDWs restaurants that...

    Never thought I'd be debating drive vs fly

    Can you share the route you use to avoid the beltway going back to CT, please? I got hammered the last time I did this drive in both Baltimore and DC with hours of traffic and will pursue any other route at this point.

    Gaining weight on a Disney vacation

    Not eating food you don’t need to eat, whether it’s to maintain your weight or not, is not “diet culture.” WDW is chock full of food that is terrible for you. It’s not “diet culture” to not eat these things because you don’t want to put garbage in your body. Making good choices about treats on...

    Son says he needs to cut his long hair for job

    Well, that’s fine, and I’m sure your local lawyer probably wears jeans and a t shirt, but it is still the standard in large corporate law offices and in finance. You’re free to make your corporate choices how you see fit. I don’t think a parent should advise a child to limit where they work...

    Gaining weight on a Disney vacation

    I used to gain, mostly because I was eating restaurant breakfasts which I don’t do at home and are generally calorie bombs. Now I don’t because we split meals, at most I eat a piece of fruit or a cup of yogurt for breakfast, and I don’t really want sweet treats except occasionally. Regardless...

    Son says he needs to cut his long hair for job

    I work an executive job and my place of employment requires us to dress to the standard of the client we’re working with. Thus you have to be prepared to wear anything from business casual to business formal if you are client facing here. I can tell you that on our roster, outside of banking...

    Resort with Kitchenette - easy drive

    Suggest the Towneplace suites or our new preference, the Home2 suites at Flamingo Crossing. They are right outside the western gate and there is a Target, Starbucks, and Walgreens walkable from the hotel (especially from the Home2 side of the street) Free breakfast and free parking. We’ve...

    Disney considers reducing portion sizes to cut costs.

    That would be fine, since we would get two separate things and try more.

    Disney considers reducing portion sizes to cut costs.

    I find the phrasing of the comment bizarre, but I would not hate it if portions were smaller. My husband and I almost always share. I’d love to see a menu of sampler sizes like they do for the snack kitchens in Epcot, actually. Half the stuff that comes with a meal we don’t even want.

    Most horrible physical pains you have experienced?

    Four rib fractures. Breathing was like being stabbed for about eight weeks.

    First car for college kid -- New/Used? Buy/Lease?

    My vote would be used and paid for. leases have a lot of traps in them as well as a disposition fee on the end - they are designed to keep you in a new car. If you choose to buy at the end, you paid the highest price possible for the car. add in that college students usually are required to...

    Any Disney Table service restaurants that have Bar seating

    I hate the Tune-In lounge for exactly this reason. The clientele is usually disgruntled dads pounding down some alcohol while waiting for a table and they always have 4 kids swarming around them. Its not a pleasant bar experience. Post Covid I don’t even know how you’d go there as people are...

    Getting our ears pierced at Disney

    Get them done professionally by a piercer. Do not go to a mall store. I’m sure there are piercers in Orlando if that is what you really want to do but despite how common they are a piercing is still a wound that requires care and a theme park is not the cleanest place. I would not want theme...

    Port Orleans & Riverside?? Why is it closed?

    Guess it is lack of staff availability. Huge resort that requires a lot of staff.
