One time they were giving these out during flower and garden at both entrances to the butterfly garden



We had both kids with us, so they gave us about 20 of them. We even went back later on our way back from world showcase to bring a haul back to the hotel.

 

i've been looking over the menus for the F&G booths and i'm excited for a lot of it. i'm sure there will be tons of vlogger videos tomorrow to let me know what's worth trying

 

We're going to Sea World San Antonio in a couple weeks during their food festival and... the offerings (especially the drinks) are just so sad.

I didn’t click but I assume they’re just running a worker out to McDonald’s to bulk purchase fish filets to resell

 

On my way to Super Nintendo World.

 

I’m buzzed off gin at a Thai restaurant eating pad kee mao but I had to send a pic to the thread to show off my shirt

 

that shirt is indeed sick

 

can you send me some

 

Super Nintendo World is pretty dope. Mariokart is a lot of fun if not a little confusing and disorienting at first, one part is particularly special. It's small and gets crowded really quickly, if you don't get a power-up band there's not really much to do except Mariokart and look at things. Highly suggest getting the 1hr early access, we walked right onto Mariokart and by the time we were out it was insane.

This is only my like 3rd time going Universal, but it needs like 5 more rides and the new rides being sizeist is such a bummer, I saw multiple people turned away. Seems like there's no need for this if they just had a little more forethought. I've never seen the movie, but Secret Life of Pets rules, a really great looking ride and awesome queue, I don't know why they don't have 3 of these with different movies. We were not prepared for riding The Mummy at 830 in the morning and it kind of fucked us up for the rest of the day lol. Waterworld still rules, so much fun. All in all we only rode 3 rides and the tram tour and were out by 2pm, which was definitely not the plan. My girlfriend isn't a big fan of the screen rides and after The Mummy I wasn't going to push it. Wish we would've hit up Transformers and that it wasn't too cold for Jurassic Park, but we still had a blast and it was kinda nice to get home early.

 

PTR did not like the Mario Kart ride. I probably won't be able to ride it until it opens in Florida and even then, I am more looking forward to the Donkey Kong rollercoaster that MK.

 

The more I think about it, the less I like it as well. The balance of ride vs game is not really great. Would be best if they went more in one direction. It was very busy and confusing and also felt like steering didn't matter. It's hard to grasp the concept of steering and aiming with your head in such a short time, I kept trying to aim with the steering wheel. A full on motion simulator where you're actually racing would be a lot better.

 

That was their take too. I think Scott mentioned that he just took his glasses off on one of their ride throughs and just enjoyed the sets.

 

also the limited amount of shells upset me but also I should be a better gamer and not waste them

 

It reminds me a lot of Smuggler's Run. It's got some wow factor right up front and is exciting to finally be able to experience these things we grew up with in real life. But it's very surface level and doesn't hold up to scrutiny after the initial excitement wears off. Not to mention both don't really feel like you have much control or impact on the outcome.

 

Went to Busch Gardens Tampa on Friday…I was highly impressed! I had never been before and was shocked by how big the park was. All of the attractions and animal exhibits were very high quality.

Only downfall is how big the park is ha, if you miss a ride and want to come back later it requires a lot of walking.

 

I haven’t been in probably 5 years now, but Busch Gardens Tampa was always one of my favorite parks.

 

a friend rode tron this weekend, his immediate reaction was that its the best front row experience on any disney ride. other than that says it was just fine and felt very short.

 

AHHHHH

 

In addition to all his Disney animation and imagineer work, he also is responsible for the font and eagles design on the Ernie Ball guitar string packages

Rolly was a real one

 

Hope Disney doesn’t cave

 

Hoping this Toon Town refurb alleviates a lot of the stroller traffic around the park. Looks like it gives kids a lot of open space to run around and play which seems like a big win all around.
