I just don't understand how the most successful animated movie ever doesn't get a nomination for Best Animated Film. - David Jan 13, 15:13 16
- I see that and raise you Endgame. -- nm - Spawn Jan 13, 15:32 2
  - Endgame absolutely deserves a nod, but the writing was on the wall there. -- nm - David Jan 13, 15:33 1
    - Agreed but most I have talked to in RL saw Frozen II as a cash grab. -- nm - Spawn Jan 13, 15:34

- They kicked The Lego Movie in the shins its year when it was the biggest grosser. -- nm - Reagen Jan 13, 15:19

  - Well, that's naive. -- nm - David Jan 13, 15:20

The skillet/griddle combo David & Kim gave us for our wedding finally gave out. That thing was a pancake/stir fry workhorse. - Reagen Jan 13, 14:41 13

        I choose to believe that the hot sauces I gave you melted the frame. -- nm - David Jan 13, 15:09
    - That's a good run. Kim's parents just replaced some of our skillets at Christmas. I don't think they lasted eight years. -- nm - David Jan 13, 14:46 4
      - the truly annoying thing is that we're heading into a kitchen reno and had been counting on it for our main cooking appliance during - Reagen Jan 13, 14:59 3
        
        Okay, try this. See if the internet archive has saved your wedding registry online. If you can find a model number, I'm confident someone's selling it -- nm - David Jan 13, 15:01 2
        
        the only one I've seen is $160 US + shipping - Reagen Jan 13, 15:06 1

  - Not a fan, huh? - spamlet Jan 13, 14:33
Disneyland: Toy Story Midway Mania had a Computer Crash w/BSOD on a HDD Failure - Still running Windows Server 2008 -- (link*) - budice Jan 13, 14:12 22
- As discussed in Behind the Ride! -- nm - David Jan 13, 14:14 21
  - Ok, Disney expert - suppose it looked like you would be heading down to Orlando with your in-laws. Of the Disney parks, it's our opinion - Turd Ferguson Jan 13, 14:22 20
    - When would this be? Because Epcot's currently doing a lot of construction right now. -- nm - David Jan 13, 14:39 9
      - Hmmm...haven't actually decided yet. Sometime this year - maybe spring? Any idea when construction is slated to end? -- nm - Turd Ferguson Jan 13, 14:42 8
        
        2022. They're basically rebuilding the front of Epcot on the fly. They're turning the current Future World into three distinct areas. -- nm - David Jan 13, 14:43 7
        
        Oh wow...ok. Ultimately, these aren't people who pick a place to go and then look for things to do. - Turd Ferguson Jan 13, 14:46 6
        
        Well, the World Showcase at Epcot is the perfect place for adults to hang out for many hours. - David Jan 13, 14:47 5
        
        Yeah - drinks around the world will definitely peak her dad's interest. lol -- nm - Turd Ferguson Jan 13, 14:49 4
        
        There's a tequila bar at Mexico that's wildly popular, Canadian and Germany have got beer, United Kingdom's got ale, and Italy and France have wine. -- nm - David Jan 13, 14:53 2
        
        PS: When you're serious about buying tickets, msg me and I'll find you the best deal. -- nm - David Jan 13, 14:56 1
        
        Sweet...will do. -- nm - Turd Ferguson Jan 13, 15:11
        
        That would be a interesting day out with the in-laws -- nm - JD Jan 13, 14:53
    - Epcot is the best. Granted, it’s also the only place I’ve been that still exists since Downtown Disney / Pleasure Island is gone. -- nm - Qale Jan 13, 14:25
    - looks like 109 - ty97 Jan 13, 14:23 8
      - Dang - I was hoping for some sort of super secret discount that only people who go there ALL the time might know about. -- nm - Turd Ferguson Jan 13, 14:24 7
        
        They have mid-day tickets now that are cheaper if you're not an early bird. -- nm - David Jan 13, 14:40 5
        
        Ahhh...that might could work. What do they consider mid-day? -- nm - Turd Ferguson Jan 13, 14:42 4
        
        Noon. Those tickets currently cost $89 each. Regular admission runs from $99-$129 daily. - David Jan 13, 14:45 3
        
        Ok, cool. Noon isn't bad at all. They won't be able to last from noon to close, so that would work. -- nm - Turd Ferguson Jan 13, 14:47 2
        
        And thanks! -- nm - Turd Ferguson Jan 13, 14:47 1
        
        The one caveat is that they may not be doing that deal in the spring. Still, it's only a few dollars more per person for full single-day admission. -- nm - David Jan 13, 14:48
        
        Can get discounts with Disney Gift Cards at Target (5%), Travel agencies have packages, and Ticket Outlets sometimes have a discount ticket or two -- nm - budice Jan 13, 14:28
