I love this ❤ it reminds me of the homemade cakes we had growing up 😢
I always loved these cakes!! I had bday cakes every year of my life from my mother and still get a bday cake from her and I’m 46 but I can remember a strawberry short cake and a cabbage patch kid cake made like this for bdays I got as a child and I can remember how unique they were even at a young age. Much cooler than a regular looking cake that’s for sure.
This an absolute fantastic video. I love how you demonstrated how to scan multiple LLs cause that always confuses people. I'm going to share this video with others. But as someone who goes to Disneyland once a month and has used Genie+ probably 30 times, PLEASE do not use it for a ride that has a five minute wait or before 10am at all. Modify for a later return time. That way you can ride it once with a 5 minute wait in the morning and ride it AGAIN with Genie+ later in the day. I always make Indiana Jones or Space Mountain my first LL of the day and modify to make sure it's after 10am. Anytime I see someone entering a LL before 10am it causes me physical pain. Hahaha. I know you probably needed to book a ride with a quick return time to demonstrate for the video but just wanted to give people some additional advice. Once again a fantastic video!
did you get chosen?
since you have a compound angle is the side of both the top pieces have a bevel cut on them??
I like this design! Simple and strong! Thankyou!
Thank you! Very helpful. Really adorable ❤
Hello! I had a quick question I’m traveling with a group of 11. When I show up for my family’s reservation to the lightning lane line would I have to stand there awkwardly & scan all 11 individual passes? Or is there an easier way?
This video has been the best on showing how to work the Genie +. Others seem to scroll through it but not actually show what to do. Good job!❤❤❤
Thanks for explaining the multiple people on one phone. was a bit hesitant with the 4 year old, but it is nice to know that it is just linked with an adult.
So just to confirm each member in your party does not need their own separate disney genie account?? You can use one phone and one account for all members??
We’re going on monday and my party consists of 7 people like you😆 i was so confused about the whole genie+ thing but you made everything absolutely clear. Thank you so much!
Dear parents! Let the kids choose their favourite Disney Parks souvenirs!!! When the kids are very good, then they deserve more souvenirs. Every good behaviour kid should have 1-2 bags of Disney Parks souvenirs: plush toys, toys, mini figures, bubble blower, Mickey ears, t-shirts, jacket, drinking bottle, and some pins or magnets and etc. Please buy only those Disney Parks souvenirs, what the kids very want!!!! I know many Disney souvenirs are very expensive, but when the kids are very good all the times, then sometimes they deserve these things!!! Please be kind parents and make Your kids very happy with these Disney Parks souvenirs, what the kids have chosen and don’t say NO all the times, when the kids very deserves those Disney Parks souvenirs for good behaviour!!! Respectfully, Astra Viil 🥰🙏
How many people can control your genie plus on their own phone if the family split up for ride??? Thanks for the video.
Do you have to purchase genie plus for each individual? Or just one
Are you able to bring food in ? How was eating out like? The hotel you were at did it provide breakfast
Do you think 4 days would be ok for family of 7 or 5 to do everything? Did you do hopper or each day had a different day
Would you be able to give me a amount to save for Disneyland for a family of 7 and what hotel did you stay? How much was the tickets for all 7 of y’all with genie +
Thank you for this information. I really think I would like to attempt to make one. My husband has passed and he would hold the ladder when I needed to work up high so I do feel unsafe on my own now. I have a drop saw which I love but just not too sure about the angles so will watch the video a few times to get the hang of it. Cheers from down under.
That was so helpful thanks you
This video was so helpful. We are going for 5 days with 6 of us in our family. I am thinking about having Genie plus for one of the days, but your comments about if you're going for 5 days you might not need it has me thinking. This will be our first time at Disney so we're very excited, but there is soo much to plan.
Wow you about covered every possible question in this video! I was curious how to divide up lightning lane choices in a large party and you covered that. QUESTION: Is it correct that you can wait in standby lines for each of the special rides Rise of the Reistance, Webslingers, and Radiator Racers? You dont need Genie+ LL, nor pay for the ride separately, for standby lines for any of those, correct? Would you say that 5 day visit without Genie+ might be equivalent to 3-day visit WITH it? And in that case, depending on the size of your party, might actually be more cost effective when factoring in hotel, food, and DL admission costs?
Jude, thanks for your comment. Yes standby lines (Single riders) you just walk right up and get in line, but you may not ride with others in your party. And yes you could probably get everything done with Genie plus in a 3 day visit that would equate to a 5 day without. Assuming you don't want to ride the same rides over and over (as the Genie plus only covers each ride once for that day). You can definitely save money that way. We would have done a shorter trip had we known more about Genie plus but it didn't come out until we were already there.
Thank you so much. This helps me with my decision a lot. You have a great looking family.
Thanks for this! We are traveling with 13 ...eeeek. feel a little better after seeing this. I don't remember you mentioning the 2 hour wait between Genie+ bookings. Was that in place when you went?
I have 12 traveling.
Hi Alicia, I am not sure what 2 hour booking you're referring to. I will look into it. When we were there you could only book 1 ride at a time. Once you redeemed that booking you could book your next ride. Or after 2 hours(if you haven't redeemed your current booking) you could book another one. That's what I mentioned in the video. I am not sure if that has changed.
U can make it more easy.i could not understand many areas 🙋👎
Going w my whole family next month and they want genie+ thank u!! This was helpful
Thank you! This is the exact information I needed and only you have provided.
So glad you found it helpful!
You made it, right?!
Sure did! My episode aired in Feb. 2020. You can find it on youtube!
I am anxious to sew your no gap mask. In reading the directions first, can you please explain what Time 2:25 means and Top 5″ (including swoop)? Thank you. I await your reply.
Thank you!!! beem looking for this pattern. I have this mask ( mask pattern) as a gift . Love how it fixed. Best one by far . 👏 🥰👍🙏 Biggest Thanks 😊
👍😊
My new favourite pattern!
What is the seam allowance you're sewing with? It looks like 5/8" seam allowance but I wasn't sure.
I like your original design. I made masks 100s of them and gave them away. Thank you so much for sharing your talent.
That is awesome!
I have broken more needles and had masks that ended up not fitting, even though the original pattern was an exact fit, trying to get the darned wire sewn inside the mask. . If I got it in close enough to the top seem, sometimes it still popped out through the fabric. This solved all that. I've been sewing masks since March, and have done several different patterns, but in order to fit right, the nose wire is needed Thank you SO MUCH!
Thanks for the updated video, I really love your masks. I wanted to ask you, is there a different procedure here or its just the same procedure with better shots?
Same procedure just added the optional filter insert, different elastic or tie options, and the nose wire pocket (so the wire can be removable).
Great design! Found your pattern yesterday and made 4 today! Printed patterns at 105%, 100%, 95% and 90%. The 95% fits me well...small head/face, prominent nose. This pattern will work well for just about anyone.
is the seam allowance already part of the pattern or do i need to cut out the fabric larger than the paper pattern?
Thank you. This is the most comfortable and well fitted mask out there.
Thank you for taking the time to make this video! Very easy to follow along with.
Thank you kindly
This is the most comfy fit yet, though I need help with the pleating, what should the measurements be? I don't understand the instructions for pleating in the description. The mask looks too long, should it be like that?
Does this wire rust?
V
I love the pattern. Anyone find a way to make a pocket for a filter?
Check out the updated video it has the filter pocket option.
I can't see how to download the pattern? Help please
Love this. I have used this method now for a lot of my mask. Works nicely. Thank you.
I am going to try this pattern but I must say that I don't like that call it reversible. If someone is not careful to keep it as clean as they should, the dirt and microbes from the previous wearing will be against the face.
Wash after each use. It is fun to make it with different patterns of fabric so you can reverse it depending on what color or print you want to wear that day!
Your mask pattern is great. Your tutorial is very clear and easy to follow. Thanks so much!
