It was annoying there were no TVs, but it was the same way on my return flight! I guess Disney isn't the only one doing cost cuttings!Yay for travel/arrival day! That is so weird you were on a flight without the TVs in the seats. That JetBlue life really got everyone spoiled lol
Omg I need a bev ledge, that looks so necessary and way better than balancing a drink between your legs as tends to happen for me. More reason now to get a window seat haha
I cannot believe how much you could make out in those air view photos of the parks. I could only get Epcot because I recognized the Innoventions buildings and World Showcase lagoon. Everything else I'm just like "WHAT WHERE I'M BLIND"
Finding where Ride Share goes in contrast to ground transportation is an EXPERIENCE. I've done it now at LAX TWICE and I think it's finally broke me in, but I feel the difficulty. It's so wild thinking it would be in one place and then they're like "Nope, it's here" Quite the adventure
Your room is so pretty! I'm not too too familiar with the Universal rooms, but that looks really nice. Maybe I'll have to splurge on an overnight over there for my CP this time around lol Could get good use out of those Express passes.
The bevledge was great! And totally recommend.
Luckily I've never had to take an Uber from LAX! But I'll have to make sure to really figure it out if I ever need to!
The RPR room was very pretty - loved the wall paper!
I think the TV thing was just because I've gotten so used to them in the past several years! It really helps pass the time!Yes I think it did affect everywhere for a couple days! Because the storm moved on afterwards affecting over airports and because on that day almost every plane seemed to pass through BWI at least once (at least all the ones coming to our airport) so if that's not where the layover was, the plane was coming from there at some point that day.
I think I've only flown once on a flight with TVs on the seat backs. Southwest never has TV's on the back of the seats, but I don't really mind using my phone.
Yes that's my favorite Universal hotel! Although I like every one I've stayed at, but I think that's my favorite
Aw cute!
That's hard to say, I think it depends on the device and Internet speed. I never have an issue on my computer at home, but pages load slower when I'm on my phone at work, and that's when I usually experience that. I didn't think it was the picture hosting sites so much as the speed of the page when it loads.
I'll have to check if it's just my phone loading then!
I between Gwen particularly loved Gwen Stacey!I am so excitied for you! Next weekend!!!!
This is amazing!!!!
Wait you ordered this on amazon!?! I thought it was part of the plane.
I am sold!
So, Morgan and Gwen LOVED Into the Spiderverse!
Also, I am not "allowed" to watch Free Solo now that Gwen is a little rock climbing gal. My sister said it would def make me nervous.
Yeah, I would be hesitant to watch it in your case. They do have a part where they talk about the various climbers who have fallen to their deaths (though those were all free climbers, not people with ropes and harnesses).
I definitely plan on doing one for Asia! I had fun doing the Paris one and reliving the moments! Also helping to introduce international parks to more people! My goal is to complete all my current TRs (and the February one) before I leave!Hi, following along! The Bev Ledge is genius, I will be ordering one. I hope you to a trip report for your Asia trip. I loved the report you did at Disney/France so thank you for taking the time to do them.
I think spotting Epcot was the key. Then I was able to spot Pop/AoA since it's pretty distinctive from the air. And then, parking lots are key! That's how I found AK and confirmed the location of DHS!Finally checking in here and subbing in. I even have read up to this point and am all caught up!
I always look for Disney when I approach Orlando and can never see it at all! OY. Good eye!
Isn't Kari a sweet lady!? I have loved getting to know her!
I'm totally getting a Bev Ledge. I always take the window so need one! Great start, Leslie!
I think it may fit a water bottle. Maybe a skinner one though! I had a bottle of coke, and I know I did put it there, but I don't remember if I took it off because it didn't fit or if I just didn't want to have it there! I did actually use my reading glasses case to help prop up my phone so I could watch movies while my phone was resting horizontally!That bev ledge is really ingenious! I love that it comes with a phone holder. Does it also work with water bottles? (The ones that come with meals on the plane tend to be thinner than a can of soda.)
The room looked really nice, but good to know Hard Rock is probably better for a longer trip.
Oh, I would still consider RPR. It's cheaper than Hard Rock and still very nice. It's also not exactly far away, just not as close as Hard Rock. RPR is about 2/3 mile walk from the parks, whereas Hard Rock is less than 1,000 ft. I think RPR felt like it was more spread out. But it's still a gorgeous resort!
Haha - for flying, I'm normally ok. It's when you get 50 people crowded around the queue entrance and their boarding number isn't until several groups later, so they just basically block everyone else! Very aggravating (I had Main Cabin Select, which meant I boarded earlier than some other people).This brings a whole new level to Disney math!
Remind me not to fly with you!
This is amazing. I'll have to look into getting one of those. Especially with the kiddo trying to balance everything can be a challenge.
You have some seriously impressive geography skills going on right there!
Your room looks great. Its amazing how a few throw pillows can liven a room up (hint hint to Disney and their sterile beds)
Definitely the pillows and wallpaper brought great pops of color!
