Fire alarms went off at smugglers run. They evacuated the building and cleared out the courtyard. It's a huge mess

Didn't get full details but the CM at guest services suspected that someone was vaping and set off the alarm. E: holy poo poo The CM at Hollywood was nice enough to give us a lightning lane credit to Frozen over at Epcot since we were headed there anyway. We're in line and they kick us out again for unknown reasons. Maybe it's me. Doji Sekushi fucked around with this message at 22:13 on Sep 19, 2023 |

I was able to get three rides in on Radiator Springs thanks to single rider so that ruled. Excited to do some of those outdoor rides at night tomorrow. Didn't get Monsters after dark today but that's for tomorrow. Heading back in after a few drinks at the Enchanted Tiki Bar. I got the same stool at the bar two nights in a row so that feels kinda ominous.

Either way that place rules. Drinks are absolutely resort price but at least the strength matches the price. Disneyland was a mess this morning. Rise didn't open until about 930-945 and every other big wait ride just kept going down over and over. Ended up leaving after 11 or so and heading back to the hotel for a few hours. I did get a fast pass for a radiator springs shut down though so that's nice. We got to 5he seatbelt check station when the ride shut itself down. I'll use it for after it gets dark since it seems fun to ride at night.

A lot of the rides at DLR can't operate if it rains It's just been a super weird two days but it hasn't impacted me too much. Radiator Springs went down like 5 times for the same reason (ride powering itself down) so I'd be shocked if it reopens before park close. Rest of it was normal stuff like Indy going down nonstop.

Currently staying at Polynesian DVC side on rented points till the 25th. Rooms must see a lot of use because ours is in some rough shape. Especially the showers since one of ours is missing a bottom seal, along with having a constant drip, and has damage (hopefully not mold) on the wall from constantly being soaked. Polynesian itself has been great and monorail access is hard to beat. We've been here since the 16th and only done 2 park days (Epcot and Magic Kingdom) along with Mickey's Not So Scary. Hit up Disney Springs last night and got absolutely drenched from the storm that came through, Homecomin was worth it. Kind of curious about some opinions of our current situation. My wife's feet are pretty badly blistered and in general it's been hard for her to walk around much at all. Even getting to the lobby is an adventure. She's being a bit stubborn and wants to continue with the 3 other park days we have planned, without trying to rent an ECV as well. The remaining 3 days on our 5 day ticket should be able to be applied towards a future ticket right? I'm kind of leaning on us dropping the rest of the park days, maybe doing one after some days of rest. Just relax around the resort and other monorail resorts with minimal walking needed.

Talk to guest relations or call right now. Your tickets might have a certain date range and you'll need to see what your options are.

You can add days to a ticket but it’s still going to expire within two weeks. You might be able to apply the balance towards an AP. A straight up refund of the rest of the days is.. an uphill battle, but the most important thing is: you need to have that conversation now, while the tickets are active, and preferably in person. Once the tickets are expired, things get a whole lot harder. You get the right GR person, they might be able to come up with a creative solution but I wouldn’t bank on it. But it’s worth a shot - be pleasant, be nice, be understanding and you might just pull it off.

Also definitely talk to the hotel about the condition of the room, we were in a poly DVC room a few months ago and our room was immaculate so what you're seeing is not the norm.

Oh yeah that reminds me. Does housekeeping not accept tips? I put out 10 bucks on the table and it was still there later that day. I know they came by because the bed was made and towels replaced.

I think sometimes it has to be clear that it is a tip for them. We usually put it with a note or in an envelope

If you’re leaving daily housekeeping tips - leave a note that it’s specifically for them, or they probably won’t touch it due to concerns of theft accusation. And check with guest relations asap. Or check into a ECV delivery asap. The parks ones must stay in the parks but Buena Vista or Scooterbug etc might be able to do a stat delivery if it’s a three day rental.

The adventure at Disney Springs getting absolutely soaked has apparently given me a full blown cold. So I'll be sure to stop by Guest Relations tomorrow to see what they can do. For now rest and hoping the shop has some good cold medicine. I let them know about the shower day one, and checked up on it a few days later. They gave me a lecture on the Occupied sign even after I mentioned we had it off for hours at a time those days. I did manage to get them to look up the work order and it hasn't even been executed yet so meh. But yeah other than the constant dripping and hard to turn off shower, this is what the entrance corner looks like from it and the lack of a seal.

Wife told me there's some kind of passholder-only warehouse sale at Wide World of Sports where there's just a stadium full boxes of poorly selling poo poo that Disney is unloading for pennies. She left on Sunday  but for 45 bucks I would have had her pick up a Cal Kestis lightsaber hilt even though it's huge and ugly. Apparently the other two hilts they're selling are Plo Koon (which I'm assuming wasn't selling well because it's generic and boring and never really seen onscreen) and Leia (poorly made and falls apart). edit: found a link with photos https://wdwnt.com/2023/09/annual-pa...orld-of-sports/ Hazo fucked around with this message at 22:55 on Sep 21, 2023 |

Cal’s lightsaber owns  It’s sorta funny that they’re apparently selling Cal’s lightsaber without the broken end, though. It’s what makes it interesting!

It's a good saber, it's just been straight up replaced with the color changing model.Boxman posted:Cal’s lightsaber owns The broken end is in the box, along with a piece to connect two together. They're just underneath the tray the saber is in.

I wouldn't mind a Cal saber if anyone's going. Right now I only have one lightsaber, my personal one from Savi's.

Oh I think it's a neat saber, it's just that the Galaxy's Edge version is so goddamn huge I decided I never wanted it, at least for full price. I'm still on the fence but if anyone nearby wants to do the needful feel free to hit me up on PM. I've gotten AP park stuff for goons before so I'm ready to cash in on some karma. Really in the game it looked so skinny and that was part of the appeal to me. In fact I don't know why so many of the Disney sabers are so chunky. For the Savi's models, sure I get it because it has to hold the chassis and other internal components (and I've dropped mine many times in the last four years and it's held up). But for the legacy sabers it just seems unnecessary, and I've seen a lot of unofficial replicas and Hasbro hilts that are easier to hold so I don't know why Disney keeps making gigantic ones.

It's supposed to be huge, it was made for a 10 foot tall guy. The Disney sabers are huge because except for a handful of them, they use the same chassis as Savi's so it has to fit in there.

Probably something about the proportions are off, I dunno. Aphrodite posted:The Disney sabers are huge because except for a handful of them, they use the same chassis as Savi's so it has to fit in there. Seriously? That just seems like unnecessary wasted space when there's no need to open them up and fiddle around like you do with the Savi's hilts.

There's a huge fan market in adapters and mod kits that either let you use Savi's bits with them or let you put those bits on Savi's hilts or just generally gently caress around with them in any way you can imagine. First thing to hit for the Cal Kestis saber was an adapter to let you stick two of them together.

I was looking for some of the new parts they've added as "scrap metal," but apparently the parks don't sell them separately any more. Do you know of any reputable places to buy pieces like that? I wouldn't mind updating my personal saber a bit.

What timing. UPS just dropped off my Cal Kestis lightsaber. I had the gift shop mail it to me because I didn’t want to lug it around all day and at the airport. I picked up a few others while I was there because the discount was too good to pass up.
