Grand Californian

Can anyone tell me about the current construction? I saw they’re updating bathrooms in the villas? Is it bothersome during the day? Is there dust everywhere?
I know a few months back that one of the gates was closed to get to the park is that still the case? I’m thinking about renting points for later this year but don’t want to be in the middle of construction.

Challenge end time

I’ve always wondered this if the tower chapter closes in 7 hours and I send out a team but don’t check in before the closing time, did I just waste cocoa or am I still given the points for the team?

Handwriting curriculum

We’ve been trying Handwriting without Tears and I honestly hate it. Is there anything like Math with Confidence where the teacher/parent book offers much more instruction than the Handwriting without Tears book? The teacher book in HWT is basically worthless and doesn’t offer any help. Grade level would be kinder-first grade. 7yo knows letters and can write but very sloppy and all sizes and doesn’t hold pencil well and wants to write letters starting left to right.

Stupid Bee

I had been stuck at needing five pins for the longest time like two months it felt like. Earlier this week I used gems to buy an orange chest and was lucky enough to get one needed pin.

So down to four. I figured with the two Losto legendary chest rewards and what I thought was three duplicates star rewards I’d be good.

The two Lotso chests were a bust 😒 and I only had enough for two star chests.

So down to needing two. I caved and payed $5 on a black chest and some gems on the Gameloft store.

But I was stressed about how I’d be able to get the last pin in two days. Imagine my surprise when I found that the last Toy Story quest would give you a magical pin! I don’t normally finish the last quest because it’s so hard to make the premium character to the needed level. I paid 50 gems to make Lotso level 2 and finish the quest (on top of the almost 300 I paid to unlock Lotso early).

Either way I spent lots of gems and $5 to get the stupid Bee and every pin challenge I say I won’t but the FOMO gets me. Is there a support group? I want to quit the pins but I can’t.

Butter bell

So I’ve seen the hype about butter bells online and I caved and bought one thinking it would be so handy.
But I’ve also seen a lot of post online (not Le Creuset specifically) about the butter going bad quickly and molding.

So I’d like to hear Le Creuset butter bell specific experience. Do you like it? Hate it? Should I just return it?
How often are you changing the butter? Does it ever fall out of the dome?

I was looking at the regular skillet but the deep skillet is on sale at Williams Sonoma. If I’m using it for steak and maybe eggs every once in a while will I regret getting the bigger heavier one? I like that I theoretically could use the deep for more things but wonder if it’s worth the extra weight.
