Drove to Orlando yesterday with the wife and female spawn (my mini-me). We will be spending the next 4 days here hopefully having a blast.

 

Day 1: Universal Studios, more specifically Harry Potter World. This is more for my wife than anyone

Day 2: Magic Kingdom

Day 3: Epcot

Day 4: Haven't decided yet. Either Animal Kingdom, a second day at Epcot, or Hollywood Studios.

 

Besides the normal walk-around and seeing the sites and riding the rides what are some pro-tips I can use to get the most out of the trip. We brought our own food for breakfast in the hotel and snacks at the parks to save money.

 

And one Pro-Tip I will share: Take your Kureig and K-cups for the hotel room. It's small, easy to pack, and beats the hell out of the continental breakfast coffee. I thank my wife for this one.

 

What say you?

To me it would depend on how old the little one is. They might not really be into Epcot,  although in my opinion Epcot  is the best part at Disney world.  

I'd choose Animal Kingdom over Hollywood studios.  It's an amazing park and the closest thing you can get to a real safari without crossing the Atlantic. 

And as Chimera said look into the park hopper and see if it fits your family's needs. It can be a cheaper way to visit multiple parks and if you get a 3 day ticket it will be way cheaper than 3 single day tickets.

But yea you can technically do all of Epcot in a day and Hollywood studios is my least favorite ( although it's an awesome place) . But I'd pick Animal Kingdom over Hollywood Studios.

If you have time go to typhoon lagoon. Best Waterpark in the world

I can't remember what they are called, but I think it's the "fast pass".

 

Use them...a lot.  Go get them in the morning and use them throughout the day.

I did't like Hollywood, but I really enjoy Epcot.  

Make sure you ride Soarin.

Thinking we may do Animal Kingdom instead of Holly Studios. Harry Potter stuff is pretty cool. The kid bought the Elder wand and has been stupefying people all day. The Escape from Greengots 3D ride was cool and so was the Hogwarts ride. Goal tomorrow is to wear my Roaring Riot short and get Mickey and Goofy to do the Supercam.

This. Get the fast passes for the more popular rides so you aren't standing in line for > hour on a back top in 1000 degree weather. Ride the less popular rides while you wait on your fast pass. The last time I went we were with my mother in law who was in a wheel chair at the time and you get shuffled to the front of the line every time. That was the same trip we found out their are people in wheel chairs who you can pay to be your " friend" so you can skip the lines. Strange, but whatever floats your boat.

If you're doing both sides of Potter World you better get there early, it may not even be possible during busy season anyway.  I did it in Sept. one year and we got there early and was able to do everything, luckily.  Got a Voldemort wand, and everyone around me acted disgusted, was great.

You should go see Seaworld, always a good time there.

if ur going to universal, and money is no object, the express passes will make you trip more enjoyable.  Avoid the harry potter train, its not great at all.   Also they have a dining card for $20 which includes a meal & drink, snack, and another drink.  the outta control dinner show is inexpensive and alot of fun.  If your not sure what to do on your extra day, try Typhoon Lagoon water park.  Only park with a huge 6 foot wave pool.  I'm going to orlando in 3 weeks for a universal trip.

Just got back from universal. Harry potter world is off the chain. One thing to note on express passes is theyre not valid in harry potter world except for on the dragon coaster. Also if you have the time right next to hogsmeade in islands of adventure the poseidon guided tour is on point.

You liked Poseidon?  It was ok I guess.  Best part was when the lights were out in the beginning and some dude let go a vicious rip of a fart like no other.  Room smelled up so bad like 10 people excited from the side emergancy door lol.  I'm just standing there laughing so hard and my wife is giving me a confused look.   Why wasn't everyone else laughing?  Wierdos.

      Thoughts on using AI for drafting?

      Why? AI already taking jobs, running up power bills, drinking all the water and just bad for the environment but hey lest try to shoehorn another useless way to use it.

      2026 Mock Drafts

      By Soul Rebel · Posted

      I'm going rogue in R1 but there's so much confusion around us. Last year, we were going Walker or Williams and caught folks off guard with TMac. The previous year we LOVED Legette and it was no surprise when his name was called. This year, I think we nail three areas that weren't totally addressed in FA.  R1 - Kayden McDonald Full disclosure, I want Thienemann here, but think he goes before 19. Some might see an "overdraft" but McDonald unlocks so many people on our D. Having a DT the caliber of McDonald let's Lloyd, Wallace and the newly drafted Hill flood the offensive backfield. Also opens up Moehrig and our EDGES to eat. Lastly, it also removes all the pressure on DB to be the primary facilitator in the trenches and A'Shawn will be missed. I don't care about Turk. McDonald is the only true DT worth of a R1 grade and Morgan seals up our trenches here w/ a kid from a blue blood school. R2 - Anthony Hill Jr *trade up*  I love JRod, but think a smart team takes him at the end of R1 (Seattle, NE w/ two d-minded coaches). Hill, Jr is a beast and lost in the shuffle with all the Styles/Allen/Rodriguez hype. He and Lloyd with DB and McDonald up front and flanked by Scourton/Phillips is nasty.  R3 - Hecht/Lew/Center du jour Let's stop the madness with ignoring this position in the draft. We need one and should start normalizing the capital invested in our OL with someone on a draft contract. He won't need to start day 1, but I think the right selection will push for starter reps. R4 - Bud Clark Not sure if he's here in R4 where we pick, but would fit the "type" of FS/roamer that we need opposite Moehrig and Ransom. Allows us to run 3-safety looks and really keep teams guessing with personnel packages. R5 - Kendrick Law The kind of WR we need. IDK if he's any different than Horn, Jr or Metchie but Law could be a dart throw that brings a deep threat to our WR corps I'm guessing one of the R5 picks is used to move up in R2 along with a '27 day 3 pick.   Post-draft, I sign Njoku to bring in a vet at TE. I'm also keeping my eyes open for pre-week 1 team cuts for a young CB that we could bring in to maybe plan for Mike Jack's departure next year. Flame away.... I know the McDonald pick will not make people happy.

      Classic example on what AI is not currently good for.  It will create a baseline of statistics (which are fine but must be used alongside tape and other evals) and partner that with every rumor mongering dips*&$t on the web.
