yup - the scariest thing at HHN is the express pass prices once summer/early fall hits :scared1:

i know! I hate that they play these games - rushing to jack up prices literally days after they first make the passes available. People need time to plan, get approved time off work, etc. The good news is some dates are still the same; others only went up by $10. The bigger price increases...

just a public service anncmt to get your express passes soon if you're still considering but haven't bought yet- seeing some price increases already on certain nights.

i'm jealous of all the people who enjoy working - I am so burned out. I wish I enjoyed it.

It's the "trend" - everyone's reading all these articles and advice by "experts" the past few years about how "experiences" are far more rewarding than "stuff". Get rid of your stuff!!!! Travel....travel....travel!!! Some (not all!) travel lovers judge non-travelers: they believe that those who...

Unfortunately, some folks have to gamble: I've never earned more than 1-2 weeks vacation time per year when I worked for employers and every time I switched jobs, I lost that. Didn't start accruing until after probationary periods passed. Just how things were done at many firms: very stingy with...

for those of us on a tighter budget or who may not want to do the actual "behind the scenes" tours, look for a series of podcasts (most run about 20-30 min each) by Universal that may be released in late July/Aug. Last year, they had one for each original (non IP) house and explained the whole...

oof - those express pass prices. :crazy2:Every year the devil sits on one shoulder nagging me to go fetch my credit card post-haste. The angel sits on the other gently protesting that spending 500-600+ on a single theme park evening is a bit questionable. Guess who gets their way each and every...

yup - we had EP and still stayed till 2am. EP cuts wait time in HALF - so half is relative, depending upon how busy the night is. Sure wish it applied to the food lines lol. I always like to try a few goodies, but the lines were long and they were really understaffed the night I went.

Cringing at the thought of prices this year, given the bump last year. Fingers crossed the increases aren't too terrible. (Man - I miss those BOGO single ticket offers pre-Covid. Two nights was the perfect trip for us.)

I don't begrudge Universal as much - because it IS a covered garage with some security. But I hate paying the same inflated rate for an open asphalt lot in the blazing sun at Sea world - which is NOT in the same leagues as WDW and Universal, no matter how much they try to price themselves with...

i think it's such a disgusting cash grab at a time when families are seeing everything from groceries to insurance skyrocketing. Seriously $32???? When people are already paying hundreds per day to enter your parks, plus premium prices for food, gifts, etc? Can't these conglomerates retain a...

Isn't it amazing how those helpful little elves keep everything replaced - like no one (ELSE) in the household even has to think about it: one thing finishes, and BAM, a new tube, bottle, roll or package is already magically there. :rolleyes: Every once in a while I purposely let things run...

that's a lot of money. Florida pays $12 or 15 max, best I can recall. I get called every year. I am self employed - if I don't work, I don't get paid. Some judges are understanding about that.

HA! I live in florida - you ain't seen nothin' till you drive here. lol

I live where many drivers are very aggressive , unlicensed, uninsured and carry guns. There is a lot of road rage. I ALWAYS disengage. They can cut me off, tailgate or act as rudely as they want - I ignore them. The risk of getting shot and the lowlife bolting, never to be seen again, is just...

Been following and so glad you came back this year to update us. I think you're amazingly strong. Also think the revelation about your husband explains so much about his unsolvable depression: no meds, inpatient treatment or other attempts will work if one continues lying to themselves about...

The problem in Miami is NOT like a typical spring break madness in panama beach, ft laud, cozumel and other traditional locales - which yes - local cities do try to reign in to some extent, without killing the fun altogether. Nope - this is about stopping the violence, intimidation and people...

Yes - take it from a long time Floridian. There has been a "crap ton of violence" and it's been a huge problem. These are not the crazy spring breakers of past times - too much drinking or other college-related fun gone extreme. These are real low lifes: many are actually locals, not visiting...

"overactive mind". Those of us who have it know what it's like...and how it feels 1000x worse late at night when the rest of the world's asleep. :crazy2:
