  1. Thank you again md, those links are great and I have already started down the rabbit hole. Did you (or anyone else) ever go to Universal Hollywood? I was thinking about that for a day, mostly because my kids would like to see Springfield. I don't think we'll be going back to Florida anytime soon. Some good material about Universal at those links, as well, just wondering if anyone has any personal experience.
  2. hitby/Neikea is trying to rip you all off. I'll sell you this same chair for $3700.
  3. Amazing feedback. Thanks so much! I'm super bummed to hear that about Haunted Mansion. That was the one ride I really wanted to see as I know it's different and I like the other version so much. Damn.
  4. bump. I decided to book 5ish days and 4 nights in LA in late July. I think we will only do 1 park day at Disneyland and do other stuff for the rest of the time. Staying in Anaheim in a condo that apparently is walkable, or walkable to a shuttle. @mdmost is one day enough? I think our primary interest would be seeing the other version of the attractions that we like at the MK and certainly any can't misses that don't exist in wdw. Any thoughts or suggestions appreciated.
  5. Guys in the OG Dalton literally ripped a guy's heart out of his chest using only his bare hands. Stop trying to be Roger Ebert.
  6. With all the NBA stuff I follow I'm surprised I haven't seen this. Silver on with King and Barkley says it's probably time to go the Pro Bowl route in regards to the ASG. Full clip because I can't stand click bait that crops out context.
  7. You do have a ton of injuries. Giannis sitting out not helping. Not sure if you saw but Ausar is OFS with a blood clot if you want to use another IR slot.
  8. Bio Bidet 2000 is the most powerful on the market unless you're getting new toilets with built in bidets.
  9. Left a triple double on IR. And here I am criticizing my kid.
  10. I noticed Jr was starting Killian Hayes the other day and told him he needed to pick someone else up. I should just take his phone and set his lineup for him after he goes to bed.
  11. We ate at this place twice. Nothing earth shattering but decent sushi at normal-ish prices. Because kids some of the other places we dined were unique spots called the Cheesecake Factory and California Pizza Kitchen. I do not recommend those. https://maps.app.goo.gl/UGstWyPeaFhSpFsE7
  12. Lanikai Beach and pillbox hike I was not a big fan of Waikiki. It was a zoo. Staying at the HHV didn't help I'm sure.
  13. I'm wondering if anyone might have any ideas for me. I'm trying to plan a relatively inexpensive trip this summer for family of 4 (kids 11 and 14). I have some decent points stored up and still accruing. I would like to hold on to some for a larger Griswold European vacation next summer, but I'm also cash strapped at the moment so looking for something affordable. Anyone have any good advice in terms of resorts, or destinations that give you good return on point transfers and aren't crazy $$? I believe it was spanky who steered me in the right direction last year to transfer Chase points to SW for cheap airfare from the WC to Maui. That worked well. Flew us to PHX on Delta, free place to stay overnight and then PHX to OGG for 35k points/person. Any resorts or destinations in MX, the Caribbean, Central America or other ideas I would be interested in. I would love to just book a VRBO somewhere but I'd basically be paying myself back in points with no favorable exchange. I have about 250k Skymiles, 150k Chase points, 90k Cap One, 90k Citi and 60k Bonvoy. What is my best jumping off point for research?
