    I don’t get it, Tweet is from last year.

    It was a retweet to support someone posting that Florida would wear those abortions again this year. It may be false news. Thank the Maker for that.

    Leaving on 12/2.  Need some confirmation here as I am getting conflicting info.  We have a 5 year old and a 15 mo old.  If we stand in line for a ride the 15 mo old can't ride, can we each ride with our 5 year old separately?  This is wholly unclear to me.  I understood we could from some of the Disney expert folks, but I also see that the official "rider swap" is for the taller kids' rides -- the ones my 5 year old can't do anyway.  We are trying to assess whether we need a "helper" one day or have an all day babysitter for the 15 mo old so we can enjoy more of the older kids rides with my daughter together.  

    The one that comes to mind is Slinky Dog ride -- we'd all like to give that a go, but couldn't get a fastpass.  We were going to get there at rope drop one day while we are there.   

    Yes, on each of you getting turn with riding with the 5 year old, assuming he or she meets the height requirements.

     

    We have one experience with neither kid wanting to ride. Older kid rode Tower of Terror with me and did not want to ride it with the wife. Wife waited with younger kid while the initial ride happened with the oldest and me. After we were done, I waited with both kids while the wife rode alone. Rider swap let her ride alone with little waiting. You should be fine according to this. It's more about not breaking up families who might otherwise have to wait for long periods outside the rides the younger ones can't or won't ride.

    Rider Switch

    This handy feature allows adult Guests to take turns waiting with youngsters or Guests unable to ride. 

    What Is Rider Switch and How Does It Work?

    If Guests in your party can’t or don’t want to board an attraction, you don’t have to miss out!

    If a child does not meet the height requirement or a Guest does not wish to board a particular attraction, no problem! With Rider Switch, one adult can wait with the non-rider (or riders) while the rest of the party enjoys the attraction. When the other adult returns, they can supervise the non-riding Guests, and the waiting adult can board the attraction without having to wait in the regular line again!

    Rider Switch is available at select attractions at all 4 Walt Disney World Resort theme parks.

    To Use Rider Switch:

    1. First check with a Cast member to see if Rider Switch is offered at the attraction in question.

    2. Once at the attraction, approach the greeting Cast Member with your entire party. At least one adult member of your party and the Guests who are not riding will be issued a Ride Switch entitlement by the Cast Member and asked to wait in a designated area (usually outside of the attraction). This group is “Party 2.”

    3. The other party members (“Party 1”) ride the attraction.

    4. After riding the attraction, Party 1 locates Party 2. Then, Party 1 takes over supervision of the non-riding children or Guests.

    5. Party 2 enters and boards the attraction without having to wait in the regular queue a second time. The Rider Switch entitlement must be validated by a Cast Member at this time.

    If the person in Party 2 waited alone with the child, he or she may bring up to 2 other Guests back to ride the attraction with him or her. Please note that only 3 Guests are allowed per Rider Switch Pass.

    I'm sorry he was murdered

    No, you really aren't. Just be honest. But it's fine. We're proving how much the Saudis have us in their backpocket. They can order and execute a state sanctioned hit on a person who is supposed to be under our protection and the highest office in the land simply does not give a shit. Thankfully, Congress seems to not feel the same way.

    At Chipotle, don't you have to pay for your food at the counter before receiving it?

    In the Twitter thread, someone explained that Chipotle's credit card system runs on a delay to keep the line moving. It runs the card a minute later but prints the receipt immediately. So these guys got their food and then took off before the cashier gets the notification that the card has declined or was fake.

    “I see it in my neighborhood,” McInnes said. “I see whispers all the time. I’m walking down the street and a housewife goes,” he made an outraged face “like she’s finally seen Hannibal Lecter walk by. And what is the horror? The horror is that I like Trump, and that if I like Trump I might be conservative.”

    Falling asleep on public transport may be much more dangerous than it seems.

    A man’s arm was severed after it was accidentally hit by an incoming bus on Saturday morning.

    According to Facebook user Aqu Si Val Coe, who was on the same bus that the unidentified man was riding, the incident happened at 9:30am along EDSA-Kamuning in Quezon City.

    She explains in the Facebook post she shared on Saturday that the bus accidentally hit the man’s arm because it was hanging out of the window. The man was sleeping before the incident occurred.

    Bombo Radyo reported that the rescue team of the Metropolitan Manila Development Authority (MMDA) arrived at the scene with first-aid.

    Balitambayan reported that the man was being treated at the East Avenue Medical Center in Quezon City.

    The video has garnered over 1.5million views and 20,000 shares as of this article’s posting. Netizens were alarmed by the incident:

    Facebook user Amor Eli Tejome Sulat wrote: “The rescue [team] takes so long [to arrive], I pity him, he keeps crying.”
