    Rip Ride Rockit compared to Velocicoaster and Hulk?

    RRR is meh. If you don't like Hulk, I don't think you'll like RRR. I think Velocicoaster is more "thrilling" than the other two- but it's so, so much smoother. Though rumor has it that RRR may be going away in 2025, so get your ride in now!

    Living in Color (TDR Report Summer 2023)

    TDR Day 4: Taking a Break Before Meeting Duffy MiraCosta is in Tokyo DisneySea. Not just next to it, but in it. There is a separate entrance area you can use, which makes it extremely easy to pop in and out during the day. (Note that we did not use this for early entry- our understanding was...

    Living in Color (TDR Report Summer 2023)

    TDR Day 4: Tower of Terror and Surprise Encounters I had been on three Towers before the Tokyo version: Hollywood Studios, California Adventure (Guardians of the Galaxy version), and Walt Disney Studios (Paris). The plot for this is still in the scary side like HS and WDS, but has a distinctly...

    Living in Color (TDR Report Summer 2023)

    TDR Day 4: Welcome Back to Tokyo DisneySea Since we were staying at MiraCosta, we had another day of early entry. Once again, this meant entry into the park 15 minutes before the official opening. And once again, we blew it on meeting the characters. What can I say- I’m a sucker for character...

    V&A Jitters!

    You’re welcome! I am absolutely dragging my feet on my Tokyo Disney Resort summary from last summer, and realized that I could knock this one out quickly since it was so recent! Ha.

    Living in Color (TDR Report Summer 2023)

    TDR Day 3: Checking into MiraCosta I do not recommend what we did, but at the time, it made sense to us. To get to MiraCosta, we got on a bus to the Ambassador Hotel, and then we walked to MiraCosta. In our defense, the walk was only about 15-20 minutes and just over half a mile. We understood...

    Living in Color (TDR Report Summer 2023)

    TDR Day 3: Nightfall Glow and Closing Out the Park As it rained, we decided to peruse the stores. So we had originally purchased premier access passes for the nighttime parade, which was supposed to be the Main Street Electrical Parade. Somehow, I have never seen an iteration of this show. And...

    Star Wars Costume - Blaster Question

    No, that won’t be allowed. I’ve seen a few people use holsters to hold bananas, which is kinda humorous.

    Delta - so expensive!

    Knoxville is my home airport and Delta has gone downhill there. They used to run 3+ flights between Knoxville and Detroit every day. Now it's one. I used to fly that route a few times every year; now I just drive. It's not worth it.

    Best time to go to Europe (London, Paris, Rome)?

    I've been to London in July and Paris in June. Paris in June was hotter, but that was mostly bad luck- they had a small cold snap when we were in London and Paris had a heat wave. Summer is hot, no way around it. I think May or September would have more pleasant weather. We noticed in Paris...

    V&A Jitters!

    Here's a picture of our menu! (Blue mark is obviously from me- since there aren't many people per night, I'm adding just a bit of privacy.)

    V&A Jitters!

    I wanted to drop a detailed report, just in case anyone is interested! We drove to the Grand Floridian, arriving just under an hour before our reservation. Our reservation was for 7:30 pm. When we pulled up for valet, we mentioned that we had a reservation for Victoria and Albert’s, and they...

    Pressed Pennies...Do they still exist

    Point of clarification- we were able to use dollar bills for single “coins.” I think the credit card was you would get all 8 for $5. (May not be all machines on site, just the ones we saw!)

    Pressed Pennies...Do they still exist

    Sort of. A lot of the machines now are $1 for a crushed copper “penny” (really just a blank coin). I didn’t visit any of the parks in March, but I did get the $1 options from Grand Floridian and All Star Sports. We noticed them in Disney Springs as well. They also have $5 medallions, but those...

    Living in Color (TDR Report Summer 2023)

    TDR Day 3: From Adventureland to Critter Country to Westernland and Back After the parade, we made our way over to Blue Bayou. Like other previous meals, this was a prix fixe menu, with a few different options. We tried the lobster seafood gumbo, a main of pork, beef, and mushroom, and a...
