I have been refreshing for a client for 15 mins to move Barnstormer from 7 PM to closer to 4 PM, and literally nothing is moving. Meanwhile when there was a tech issue the blue umbrellas found them Space Mountain for 4 PM, while I had been refreshing and was only getting 9 PM

The fact that all these small bakeries and mom & pop service companies are getting C&Ds from Disney while Standby Skipper is still out there, making money by diluting the value of an (increasingly expensive) product that Disney is selling directly to guests is so demoralizing

I’ve booked lightning lanes for 6 families traveling next week- and after having booked probably about 100 families I have a theory that Disney has dramatically reduced the number of available Multi Pass Lightning Lane slots over the past couple of months.

Had a WDW Lightning Lane planning call that amounted to: “Instead of $2.8k on Premier Passes for your family of 4, why not take a fraction of that amount & bribe your kids to stand patiently in line for the 2-3 rides you don’t get with MultiPass?” Follow me for more hot tips

Praise @thrilldata.bsky.social - the alerts and the data is back!!! I’m not going to lie, for myself and a couple of my colleagues it was really touch and go there. I stayed up for hours refreshing for my clients over Thanksgiving week. We rely on these like air to breathe. 😆 😬

One cold brew at 9:40 PM —> One last ride on TRON at 11:45 PM —> Going to bed at 2:00 AM and then having to get up for a Disney Treasure tour at 6:30 AM I go *so* hard in the most meaningless ways imaginable, it’s an art

Atlanta Ballet went to bat to keep their MARTA bus stop Seeing they “fixed” it- with an every 60 min route It’s a joke. We have gone from no train transfers with a 40 min service to requiring a train transfer and 60 min service. I have no words for how exhausted I am for this process.

A prospective client called saying they needed a WDW planned for this coming Sat. - Weds. I asked about budget, they said “we just don’t want to spend a million dollars” a few times. PSA- this is not a helpful parameter ($3.3k was too much)

For me, the crisis of personality that comes with parenthood is that as long as they’re <7 yo or so, you do not feel like a human being until they are asleep My day begins at 9:15 PM A time at which almost nothing *worth doing* - reading, hobbies, non-urgent work - has the ability to keep me awake

“If I could go back in time I’d tell younger me it’ll all be ok” Hell no- younger me wasn’t ready to know about all this I just said “babe, I’ve got a crazy idea” and it was “let’s start putting our Yeti mugs in the dishwasher”

Sometimes your 4 yo is just making random things out of Lego And sometimes he lines them up and goes “this one is Five Points, then CNN Center, Vine City, Ashby, then West Lake, and H E Holmes” “Now I’ve got to do Georgia State. It has its own spoiler” MARTA’s got a fan base, after all

Thinking about today’s episode of The Daily- it’s so, so damaging for our democracy that our collective hunger for honest reflection on what happened during COVID- l the interventions, their efficacy & costs, and the decision-making & communication around them- cleaves exactly along political lines

Just had the unfortunate discovery that conference tickets have to book Lightning Lanes day by day, not for the length of their ticket Tiana’s, Seven Dwarves, and TRON already sold out, too I really can’t take on anymore off-site clients, this is such a PITA

I’ve got to hand it to MARTA, this is a very creative way to get a lot of collateral printed on short notice when you realize you forgot to poll the people who actually currently use your buses.

I posted one amazing month in Jan. on MARTA, & the fates are laughing We’ve had 3 bus cancellations in 12 bus transit days, 1 service outage on MARTA where I had to walk from Edgewood to Decatur, & now a train delay was so bad that even an Uber won’t get my kid to class on time.

Client: Thanks for going over all of this, we have a lot to review! Me: I’m glad it was helpful! Future me: ::don’t say it don’t say it:: Me: & I’ll send over an email summarizing everything we talked about Future me: WHY? They were about to hang up, what is wrong with you

Volunteering at the Atlanta Ballet’s Rite of Spring tonight- Decatur to Cobb Energy Center took 65 minutes door to door. That’s a 12 min walk, two trains and a bus (17 miles by car) I am so excited for this show and holy crap MARTA & CobbLinc showed up today But I’m kinda problematically early

When a MARTA bus route gets changed, you get signs at the stop soliciting feedback. When the whole MARTA bus network gets changed, you get a note on the homepage a day before some last-minute scheduled meetings to gather public feedback. You can’t make this up.

Can you imagine NYC, Boston, Chicago redesigning their entire bus network- seeking public comment- & not *plastering* this news over every bus/bus stop? No. Because that would look like you’re hiding something I would bet <10% of MARTA bus riders know about the NextGen redesign

I want to be clear about the impact Premier Pass is having on Multi Pass, for all of you who begged for it: 1) when booking for clients at 70+2, the earliest I could get Alien Swirling Saucers was 11:30 AM. Toy Story Mania was 2:50 PM. 2) when booking 70+1 for Jungle Cruise…
