2024.05.19 06:42 Pretend_Orange1249 Looking for Writing apps to practice vocab

I'm looking for a writing app, similar to word, that will allow me to write hangul and spell check it.
I've tried using word (by switching the keyboard to hangul), but it doesn't spell check and when I use the scribble pen it ends up registering what I'm writing before I've completed writing the word. And a lot of times it does register the correct letter either, like it'll change 로 into 고 a lot.
All the hangul specific apps I've found seem to focus only on the hangul alphabet, which is great. But I want to start recalling my vocab and this is an excellent method for me that worked well when I was studying french.

New sub banner?
Drafting new banner with the following:
“It is laid down by letter 🔢-🔠 in the writing of Thoth 𓁟, destined for the city of Amon 𓁩 [100], on which it depends. The (divine) designs are answered in Thebes (Θῆβαι) [30]: “It is decided”, they say, and it is for the Ennead 𓊹𓊹𓊹𓊹𓊹𓊹𓊹𓊹𓊹. Whatever comes out of his mouth 👄, Amun 𓁩, the gods fix it for him, in accordance with orders. The message is for death or life, life and death depend on it for everyone. Except him, gathered in three 3️⃣.”
— Anon (3200A/-1245), Leiden I350 (§:lunar 🌗 stanza 300, aka letter T stanza)
In plain speak, when we see the following 3-30-300 pattern:
  1. Except him, gathered in three 3.
  2. The (divine) designs are answered in Thebes (Θῆβαι) [30].
  3. It is laid down by letter 🔢-🔠 in the writing of Thoth 𓁟 in stanza 300.
Which is the only stanza of the 28 stanza were Thoth is mentioned, in a 3200A (-1245) Egyptian papyrus exactly matching the column three of Greek alphabet:

namely letter G [3], think: Grammata, meaing: “letters“ in Greek, letter L [30], think: Littera, meaning: “letter of the alphabet" in Latin, or Library 📚, in English, home of the books of Thoth, or T [300], think: Typos (τυπος), meaning: ”the shape of letters” in Greek, found extant some 400-years latter, even someone with a half-awake functing brain 🧠 will note that this cannot be a coincidence
All the stanzas give us clues like, thus evidening to us that the Greek alphabet, language, and words are Egyptian based.
Stanza 50 N
Likewise, when we go to stanza 50, aka the letter N, or 14th letter stanza, we find Hapi the Nile flood god coming out of his cave. This matches with all the flood gods of the latter religions, namely: Noah, Nuh, Vish-Nu, Ma-Nu, etc., either starting with letter N or N-themed names.
Notes
  1. This, in short, is how Peter Swift, Moustafa Gadalla, and Libb Thims founded Egypto Alphanumerics (EAN), a numerical evidence-based language science.

2024.05.19 04:25 JohannGoethe Type: 𓆎 [I6], thing: crocodile 🐊 spine; carto-phono: /km/; meaning: [?]; significance: root type of 𓆎 + 𓅓 + 𓏏 + 𓊖 or /km/ + /m/ + /t/ = Kemet, the original name of Egypt?

Type: 𓆎 [I6], thing: crocodile 🐊 spine; carto-phono: /km/; meaning: [?]; significance: root type of 𓆎 + 𓅓 + 𓏏 + 𓊖 or /km/ + /m/ + /t/ = Kemet, the original name of Egypt?
Abstract
Study of type: 𓆎 [I6], which somehow is believed to be the ”main” or first type the Egyptians used to define their country?
Egypt Name?
Wiktionary entry on Kemet, thought to mean Egypt:
https://preview.redd.it/vbb6ne7gma1d1.jpg?width=1686&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=8070de202f473f6c12931bcffdd5114fd9892ebd
Where:
  • 𓆎 [I6], thing: “crocodile 🐊 scales” [?], meaning: /km/ [?]
  • 𓅓 [G17], thing: “owl 🦉”, carto-phono: /m/
  • 𓏏 [X1], thing: “bread 🍞”, carto-phono: /t/
  • 𓊖 [O49], meaning: city 🌆 or cosmos birth location
Whence:
𓆎 + 𓅓 + 𓏏 + 𓊖
Or
/km/ + /m/ + /t/ = Kemet
Meaning, supposedly, “Egypt”, based on the so-called crocodile 🐊 spine 𓆎 [I6] type, which makes the /km/ phono, but for unknown reasons?
History
In 1850A (+105), plutarch said the Egyptians called their country the ‘chemia’ (Χημίαν), named after the black soil and black part of the eye:
“Egypt, moreover, which has the blackest of soils, they call by the same name as the black portion of the eye 👁️ , ‘chemia’ (Χημίαν), and compare it to a heart.”
— Plutarch (1850A/+105), Isis and Osiris (§33)
Whence, in Greek:
Chemia (Χημίαν) = Egypt, place of the black soil
In 137A (1818), Young, in his decoding of the assumed Cleopatra (Κλεοπάτρα) cartouche, assigned the 𓆎 [I6] type to the /k/ phonetic, because it aligned with the letter K of the name Κ-LEOPATRA, and the L aligned with the lion 🦁, as follows:
https://preview.redd.it/x93xkmjkwa1d1.jpg?width=1061&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=e01c56d0b709d6b22e4c72463fe761591e23e59f
Young, in his Collective Works (pg. 24), of the name Αιγυπτον (Aigypton) or Egypt in Coptic as follows:
Chmi (ⲬHⲘⲒ) {kʰēmi} = Egypt
In A2 (1957), Gardiner defined the 𓆎 [I6] as follows:
https://preview.redd.it/8306wfx9cb1d1.jpg?width=1875&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=91a02d0aa07e8a86bdd126bd7ca4edfb6329b29f
Where:
𓆎 𓅓 𓏏 𓊖 = “kmt” {carto-phono}, meaning: country of Egypt, Africa.
Thus we have:
Langauge
1. Chemia (Χημίαν) Egypt Greek Plutarch
2. Chmi (ⲬHⲘⲒ) {kʰēmi} Egypt Coptic Young
3. Κ-λεοπάτρα (C-leopatra) Carto-phonetics Young
4. 𓆎 𓅓 𓏏 𓊖 (K-mt) Egypt? Guessed?
Wherein 𓆎 [I6] became a guessed as a morph of X (ch) + K (C), to make the /km/ phono in some blurry way?
Discussion
We also note the following, namely that the actual stone version of 𓆎 [I6] type, as Gardiner drew it, and ASCII character made, does not even look like the 10-layered or 11-layered thing, shown on the Cleopatra cartouche, which makes the /k/ phono, according to Young, i.e there are no spiked “spines” or whatever things shown:
https://preview.redd.it/ft8yjwjv0b1d1.jpg?width=1037&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=02360356a40a9a723e153e332f9057f0b06db837
Now, as it has already been semi-proved that Young’s 𓂋 [D21], thing: “mouth 👄”, assignment of the / phonetic is incorrect, because:
  1. The TombUJ number tag 100 ram head 𓍢 [V1] type is the correct / phonetic, as this matches with the Greek rho (Ρ, ρ), which also is letter R
  2. The Chinese mouth symbol 口 does not make the / phonetic, but rather is a symbol for ALL phonetics,
It would therefore seem to be probable to assert that 𓆎 [I6] type does NOT make the /k/ phonetic, nor is even likely a crocodile 🐊 anything? The Egyptians, e.g., were known to mummy crocodiles 🐊, not cut them into this: 𓆎 [I6] shape? Nor does the shape shown in stone above look like crocodile scales:
https://preview.redd.it/gru3zkhaza1d1.jpg?width=1436&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=e8acbac256d2e124c9028f4751e959444c4128fd
In A63 (2018), Asar Imhotep, in his "The Etymology of the word Km.t 'kemet': A Critical Reexamination of the Diop-Obenga Hypothesis", talked for 15-min about how 𓆎 𓅓 𓏏 means “black land”, and NOT black people, because it has a land determinative:
  • 𓆎 𓅓 𓏏 + 𓈇 [N23] = KMT {𓆎 𓅓 𓏏} + irrigation canal
  • 𓆎 𓅓 𓏏 + 𓈘 [N36] = KMT {𓆎 𓅓 𓏏} + canal
  • 𓆎 𓅓 𓏏 + 𓊖 [O49] = KMT {𓆎 𓅓 𓏏} + [add]
On O49, Imhotep says:
”The N23 𓈇 is an irrigated land classifier. The N36 𓈘 is a canal. And then the O49 𓊖 determinative is the more popular one. Everyone interprets this as the ’cross-roads‘, but that is not the case, it actually just another variation of irrigated land.”
— Asar Imhotep (A63/2018), "The Etymology of the word Km.t (Kemet)” (6:50-7:15)
This is funny! We sure would like to see a photo of this 𓊖-shaped irrigated land? Video clip (6:15-7:28) below:
https://preview.redd.it/ercapqq4pa1d1.jpg?width=1279&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=5509644e97d23d6b4a78bae7098e132177d5f496
In A69 (2024), the following YouTuber defines 𓆎 [I6] wood 🪵 as a piece of black char-coaled wood:
“The charcoaled 𓆎 [I6] wood 🪵 or crocodile 🐊 spine = /k-m/ phonetic, and means black and 𓆎 (k) 𓅓 (m) 𓏏 (t) 𓊖 = km-m-t (Kemet), with 𓊖 as the city determinative, means: black 👨🏿populace.”
— Anon (A69/2024), “Let’s Settle This: The Kemet debate, Part One” (6:22-; 16:42-): Apr 20
We went from:
  1. Black soil Plutarch (1850/+105)
  2. Black pupil of eye 👁️ Plutarch (1850/+105)
  3. Black people 👨🏿
  4. Black charcoaled wood 🪵
This is example translation gone wrong.
Notes
  1. Started from: here.
  2. This is another example where we see that the entire program of CartoPhonetics based status quo Egyptology is built on a false foundation; which we will have to remedy via an EAN based NeoEgypto model.

2024.05.19 02:56 JohannGoethe Earth 🌍 circumference = 𓊖⋅𓅃⋅𓃀 or 239,976,000 👣 (feet) Egyptians (4500A/-2545)

Abstract
The following is derived as the formula for the Egyptian cosmos:
Verified by the value of the earth’s 🌍 circumference reported to Aristotle (2280A), by “mathematicians“, a science Aristotle says was invented in Egypt; experimentally calculated by Eratosthenes (2210A); decoded as 360 x 1111 stades by Warren (42A); EAN decoded as omicron (ομικρον) [360] x iota (ιωτα) [1111] by Thims (7 Feb A68); and HieroTypes reduced as: ◯W ⋅ X = ⨂ » 𓊖 by Thims (18 May A69).
Overview
The following is:
# Circumference 🌍 Person
1. τετταράκοντα [40] μυριάδας [10,000] Aristotle (2280A)
2. 40 x 10,000
3. M x 𓂭
4. Δ x 𓆐
Y x 𓆼
5. 400,000 stadia
6. 400,000 🏟️
7. 400,000 [600 👣]
8. 400,000 [600 𓃀]
9. 400,000 [X𓃀]
10. 252,000 stades Eratosthenes (2210A)
11. 360 x 1,111 stades Warren (42A)
12. 399,960 stades Warren (42A)
13. [ομικρον] x [ιωτα] Thims (7 Feb A68)
14. OW x IW x [X𓃀]
15. ◯W x 𓅃W x [X𓃀]
16. ◯W⋅𓅃W⋅[X𓃀]
17. 𓊖⋅𓅃⋅𓃀 Thims (18 May A69)
18. 239,976,000 feet Egyptians (Aristotle)
19. 151,200,000 feet Eratosthenes
20. 131,482,560 feet Modern value
Whence, we have:
Dividing through, we get:
A ΕΑΝ formula for the Egyptian cosmos (κοσμος) [600]!
Circle-X symbol 𓊖 [O49]?
In step #17, I have merged omicron (ομικρον) [360] symbol ◯ with the chi (X) = 600 symbol, to make the circle-X (⨂) symbol 𓊖 [O49], which is in the names of many Egyptian city or nome names, e.g. Heliopolis, as follows:
In other words, I am conjecturing that the chi X is merged into or inside of the ◯ circle, to form, similar to what Plato speaks about, the Egyptian circle-X or cosmos birth symbol 𓊖 [O49].
We also note:
Where epimixia {επιμιχια} [216] meaning: “intercourse“ (Barry, A44) or “admixture”, which seems to make sense, meaning that the phoenix 🐦‍🔥 egg 🥚, formed by Ptah, had to have been made or seeded by “intercourse”, meaning the new cosmos was born from an admixture of sexual genomes 🧬, or something along these lines.

Best Travel Toys For 5 Month Old
Best Travel Toys For 5 Month Old
Exploring the world with a baby can be an exciting adventure. But, while they may not have any say in where you go and what you do, it’s important to bring along some of their favorite things too!
Choosing the right travel toys for your 5 month old is essential for ensuring that both your little one and yourselves are happy on the road. As a travel expert specializing in infant journeys, I'm here to guide you through selecting the Best Travel Toys For 5 Month Old that will keep them entertained and content during those long car or plane rides!
Rattles And Teethers
Traveling with an infant can be a daunting task, but it doesn't have to be! With the right travel toys for your 5-month-old baby, you can make sure that every journey is enjoyable.
Rattles and teethers are essential for any trip - they give babies something to hold, soothe them when upset, and provide hours of entertainment.
For traveling purposes, lightweight rattles are ideal - look for ones made from soft materials like cloth or silicone, as those will easily fit in a diaper bag. If possible, find options that come with different textures and shapes; this way you'll keep your little one's attention longer. Soothing sounds are also key: pick out some musical options that will help lull them into peaceful slumber while on the go.
When choosing rattles and teethers for your 5 month old baby, always consider portability and convenience over size and complexity. Traveling should never mean sacrificing comfort; by equipping yourself with the right tools you can ensure your child has all the sensory stimulation they need without having to lug around extra items along the journey. And who knows? You might even enjoy it too!
Books And Music
Now that you have chosen the rattles and teethers for your 5 month old, it is time to think about other toys they can enjoy while traveling. Books and music are great options since they both provide an educational opportunity as well as entertainment during long trips.
For books, look into interactive ones with bright colors and fun characters. These types of books will keep your baby entertained throughout the journey:
A touch-and-feel book with different textures on each page
An alphabet board book that teaches letter recognition
A pop-up book made from sturdy paper that stands up to wear and tear
Interactive music is also a great tool for keeping your infant engaged during travel. Consider these musical items:
A toy instrument like a xylophone or drum set so your little one can make their own tunes
Educational songs featuring animal noises, counting, letters, etc.
Playlists of calming classical music for naps in transit
With books and music at hand, you'll be able to create a learning environment no matter where you are! Keep in mind that safety comes first when selecting any type of toy; always double-check age recommendations before purchasing anything for your 5 month old.
Soft Toys
It won't be long before you and your 5-month old baby are packing up the car for a road trip. As an expert in infant travel, I recommend having soft toys, to keep them entertained as well as comfortable during their travels. Here's a list of some of my favorite travel toy companions:
ToyAge RangeWeightTeddy Bear Rattle0+ Months2 lbs.Cuddle & Coo Owl3+ Months.99 lbs.Soft Book0+ Months1 lbLamaze Activity Gym0+ Months4 lbs.
Soft toys are great when traveling with an infant because they provide sensory stimulation through bright colors and engaging textures. They also give babies something familiar to hold onto while exploring new sights, sounds, and smells on the open road. Plus, they're small enough to fit into diaper bags or backpacks without taking up too much space! When it comes time to say goodbye to home comforts, these beloved friends can serve as a reminder that no matter how far away from home we may go, there will always be something along for the ride that is sure to make us feel loved and secure - even if it’s only just a little plush bear rattle!
Activity Mats
Traveling with a 5-month old can be both exciting and daunting. To make it easier, having the right travel toys is essential.
Activity mats are perfect for keeping your baby entertained during long trips. They’re lightweight, foldable, and easily stored away when not in use. Plus they come in many different designs that promote imaginative play and sensory exploration through tactile materials.
Activity mats provide endless hours of fun at home or on the go because they’re made from durable yet soft baby-safe materials like cotton and foam which makes them travel-friendly too! Your little one will love exploring all the textures and colors of the mat while developing motor skills as well as hand-eye coordination. They’ll also love getting lost in their own world of pretend play using various shapes, patterns, and objects found on the activity mat!
Your 5 month old deserves to enjoy every journey with you just as much as you do! With an activity mat, they won’t only have something entertaining to play with but something that promotes learning too – making it a win-win situation for everyone involved!
So why wait? Get creative with your travels by investing in some portable toys that your baby can cherish no matter where life takes them.
Stacking Blocks And Puzzles
Ah, the joys of traveling with an infant! Nothing quite compares to it. It's a special time - and one that can be made even more enjoyable when you have the right travel toys for your 5-month old little one.
Here are some ideas that just might make life on the go a bit easier:
Stacking blocks and puzzles: These are great for helping babies develop their fine motor skills while learning about colors, shapes, numbers, letters and other concepts. Not only do they provide hours of fun but also help create strong cognitive connections in young minds.
Building Blocks: This is another favorite among five month olds because they allow them to experiment with gravity as well as discover new ways to build structures by connecting pieces together. Plus, building blocks come in all sorts of colors and shapes which helps stimulate tactile senses as well sensory development too.
Sensory Toys: Finally, consider investing in a few sensory toys (rattles, teethers, or stuffed animals) that will help engage the baby’s sense of hearing, touch, and sight while on the move. Just make sure they aren't too noisy so as not to disturb other travelers!
Traveling with an infant doesn't need to be stressful – especially if you plan ahead and pick up a couple of age-appropriate items like stacking blocks or puzzles before heading out on your journey.
With these simple tips in mind, you'll be able to enjoy yourselves during those long days spent away from home without breaking the bank either!
Push And Pull Toys
When it comes to traveling with a 5-month old, push-and-pull toys can provide an invaluable source of entertainment.
From bouncy seats to travel strollers, these items are guaranteed to keep your little one engaged during even the longest trips.
If you're searching for something that's easy to transport and set up quickly, a bouncy seat is ideal. Its lightweight design makes it simple to move from place to place without taking up too much space. Plus, its soft material is comfortable enough for prolonged periods of use.
Travel strollers offer more stability than traditional ones due to their durable frames and tight turns capabilities. The ergonomic handlebars make them particularly convenient when navigating busy streets or tight corners in airports. Furthermore, they contain ample storage compartments so parents can easily store all the essentials while on the go – like snacks, extra clothes, and diapers!
All in all, push and pull toys are must-haves for any parent looking for a stress-free experience when travelling with young babies.
Activity Centers
When it comes to travel toys for a 5 month old, activity centers offer a great range of educational benefits.
Not only can they help promote cognitive development, but they also provide a stimulating environment to help your little one practice their motor skills.
Before you buy an activity center, it's important to ensure you're following all safety guidelines to ensure the safety of your baby.
Educational Benefits
When it comes to educational benefits, activity centers are a great way for 5 month olds to learn and develop new skills! They're designed with language development and motor skill growth in mind.
Plus, the bright colors and fun sounds provide plenty of stimulation for their growing minds. And when you're traveling, these all-in-one toys can be easily packed away or even attached to the stroller so your little one has access to them wherever they go.
With an activity center, you can rest assured that your child's learning process is not put on pause during your travels - allowing them to continue to grow and have fun along the journey! So why wait? Invest in an activity center today for your 5-month-old traveler – because nothing beats being able to take education on the road.
Motor Skill Development
As a dedicated travel expert and consultant for baby/infant travels, I know how important it is to help your little one grow even while on the go.
Motor skill development can be achieved in many different ways with an activity center! Playing with buttons, pulling strings, pushing levers, or turning knobs - they're all great ways to enhance their motor skills.
Plus, these activities will also encourage socializing as you talk about what each part does.
What's more? These toys are designed so that they can easily transition from playtime to bathtime without any fuss.
So don't wait - get an activity center today and watch your child learn new skills wherever the road takes them!
Safety Guidelines
When traveling with an infant or toddler, it's important to consider safety guidelines. This is especially true when using activity centers!
Make sure that the center has a secure base and won't move once placed on any surface. Additionally, avoid leaving your little one unattended for long periods of time - even if they are sitting in their activity center.
Babysitting tips such as having another adult present can help you enjoy some well-deserved freedom while still keeping your child safe. Don't forget: use common sense and make sure all parts are age appropriate before letting them play!
With these simple rules, there's no reason why both parents and children alike shouldn't be able to travel safely while enjoying the benefits of an activity center.
Baby Gyms
The activity centers are great for keeping your 5 month old occupied at home, but when it comes to travel safety and entertainment on the airplane, baby gyms have you covered.
Baby gyms come in different shapes and sizes that easily fold away so they can fit into your carry-on luggage with no problem. Many of them even come equipped with a mirror, hanging toys, and activities designed specifically to stimulate developing minds.
Baby gyms provide ample opportunities for exploration during flights, as well as being safe enough to use in confined spaces like an airplane cabin or hotel room. You don't need to worry about loose parts or small pieces getting lost; most models incorporate all the elements into one interactive unit.
Traveling parents will also appreciate that the setup is quick and easy – just unroll it from its compact carrying case and pop out the connecting rods - so there's plenty of time left over for exploring new places!
These versatile items make long journeys more enjoyable by providing endless hours of fun without taking up too much space in your travel bag. Plus, given their unique designs, your 5 month old won't be able to resist discovering what lies inside these colorful play areas!
Playpens
As a travel expert specializing in baby/infant travel, I recommend playpens as one of the best options for keeping your 5 month old safe and entertained during trips. Playpens offer convenience and portability, allowing you to keep an eye on your little one wherever you go. Plus, they can make any unfamiliar environment more secure and comfortable for babies.
Here are some tips when choosing the right playpen:
Look for models with adjustable heights so that it can grow with your child’s needs.
Select lightweight designs that fold easily and come with carrying cases or straps for extra mobility.
Choose materials that are easy to clean and transport without taking away from comfort.
Make sure the playpen meets safety standards like ASTM International Standards before purchasing.
When traveling with your infant, it's important to have a secure place where you can set them down safely while still having access to their belongings such as toys or diapers. Playpens provide peace of mind by giving parents control over their child’s surroundings without sacrificing freedom or spontaneity of movement during holidays or excursions abroad.
The key is finding a balance between practicality, portability, and kid-friendly features—playpens provide just that!
Stuffed Animals
Stuffed animals may seem like a classic, but often overlooked option when it comes to travel toys for 5-month-olds. But don't be fooled: they can provide just as much comfort and entertainment on the road as all those other fancy gadgets.
Portable cuddles and soft sensory stimulation are what make these playthings so great – not to mention that there's something special about loving a stuffed animal from infancy through adulthood.
One of the best things about travel toys in this category is their size. Tiny teddy bears, bunnies, and dinosaurs fit easily into carry-on bags (or even pockets) without taking up too much space or adding extra weight.
These small wonders also come at an affordable price point, allowing parents to stock up on multiple items without breaking the bank. Plus, since most babies love snuggling with something soft, it's easy to find one that suits your little one's individual preferences.
You can have some fun playing around with different textures when you select your baby's new companion. Experimenting with fabrics like plush fur and corduroy gives them plenty of tactile exploration opportunities while providing comforting companionship whenever needed during your travels together.
So go ahead and give the tried-and-true stuffed animal a chance: odds are it'll become your infant's favorite toy in no time!
Frequently Asked Questions
What Age Should My Child Be Before I Start Traveling With Them?
When it comes to traveling with your infant, the most important factor to consider is their age.
Generally speaking, you should wait until at least 6 months before beginning any kind of travel plans for a baby - this gives them time to build up an immunity and strength in order to handle the stresses and environmental changes associated with being on the go.
Additionally, having all your packaging essentials (diapers, wipes, formula, etc) ready beforehand will help make sure that everything goes as smoothly as possible when you leave home.
When done right, traveling with a young child can be a fun and rewarding experience – just remember to plan ahead!
How Much Should I Spend On Travel Toys For My 5 Month Old?
When it comes to travel toys for your 5 month old, one of the most important things to consider is how much you should spend.
As a travel expert specializing in baby and infant travel, I recommend carefully selecting quality toys that suit your budget so that both mommy and baby can have an enjoyable trip.
With such a wide selection available nowadays, there are plenty of options when it comes to finding the perfect toy - just make sure they meet all traveling requirements!
Taking into account cost as well as safety and entertainment needs will help ensure a successful journey with your little one - allowing freedom to explore while still having peace of mind.
Are There Any Safety Considerations To Keep In Mind When Selecting Travel Toys?
When selecting travel toys for your 5 month old, it is important to consider safety first.
Choosing materials that are non-toxic and durable will ensure your baby's health and well-being.
Additionally, you should look out for toy features such as removable parts or button attachments that could present a choking hazard.
As a travel expert specializing in infant travel, I highly recommend considering these factors when choosing the best travel toys for your little one!
How Can I Make Sure That My 5 Month Old Stays Entertained While Traveling?
Traveling solo with a 5-month-old can be quite the challenge, especially when it comes to keeping them entertained. However, with some clever planning and socializing tips, you can make sure your little one has an enjoyable journey.
You'll need to select toys that are age-appropriate, small enough to fit in their bag, and safe for travel use. Look for items like teething rings or rattles that will keep them interested while also helping them learn new skills such as grasping and reaching.
Additionally, provide plenty of stimulation through conversations and songs during long trips! With these strategies in place, you can ensure a fun-filled adventure for both parent and baby alike!
How Often Should I Replace Or Upgrade My 5 Month Old's Travel Toys?
A travel expert's dream, upgrading and replacing your 5 month old's travel toys are an absolute must for parents on the go!
To make sure that your little one stays entertained while traveling, you should always have a variety of toy types and travel gear readily available.
From teething rings to stuffed animals, there are countless options that will help keep them content no matter how long their journey may be!
With the right selection of toys and a bit of creative thinking, you can ensure that your baby stays happy and occupied - making it easier than ever to explore new places together.
Conclusion
Traveling for a 5-month-old can be daunting, but it doesn't have to be. With the right travel toys and safety considerations in mind, you'll be able to ensure your little one stays entertained while on the go.
You don't need to break the bank when selecting toys; investing in a few good quality items that last is key. It's also important to keep an eye out for upgrades as your baby grows.
As long as you're prepared, traveling for a 5-month-old is like taking a journey of discovery - full of fun surprises along the way!

The Kemetic sub, whose focus is “history of the ancient Egyptians”, rejects the “Egyptian origin of alphabetic language” tree, and the hoe-stars-earth 𓌹 𓇯 𓅬 [U6, N1, G38] ABG (𐤂𐤁𐤀) letter origin model, in favor of the illiterate Semitic ox-house-stick 𓃾 𓉐 𓌙 [F1, O1, T14] ABG origin model?
Abstract
(add)
Overview
Original here; cross-post to the Kemetic sub, a place for those interested in the “history of Ancient Egyptians”, as their sub caption box says:
https://preview.redd.it/kdh3wdqj291d1.jpg?width=2067&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=567d4c1cd88b84a2a8c9fd3d9bd01922d808627e

Ishango
Ishango is not the root of hieroglyphs,
Visual of the Ishango bone, on which we see the 𓏼 [Z15B] hieroglyph, i.e. numeral three 3️⃣, the 𓏽 [Z15C] hieroglyph, i.e., numeral four 4️⃣, among others, carved on the bone 🦴:
https://preview.redd.it/nnbdpdhx891d1.jpg?width=1605&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=c3676d9a808f5133f493a3f904faa72a70f24fbd
This about 15,000 years before the Egyptians of Hermopolis made 𓐁 [Z15G], i.e. numeral eight 8️⃣, be part of their city 🌆 name. This is not saying that the Ishango people “invented“ hieroglyphs, only that the Ishango bone evidences an a pre-hiero form of writing, in the form counting or early math of some sort.
Cuneiform?
There's no relation between cuneiform and hieroglyphs
The following is the original A63 (2018) diagram by Brandon Pilcher:
https://preview.redd.it/12rf3fgrj91d1.jpg?width=2160&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=2acbb1530d5d58c2bbd8070d0780948e4d5fffe2
There is, as Pilcher alludes, some seeming mutual influence between the Egyptians and the Sumerians, e.g. that both the Egyptian air god Shu 𓀠 [A28] and the Sumerian air god Enlil 𒀭𒂗𒆤 are associated with the hoe 𓌸 [U6] as the tool used either as the first tool put into the hands of the first man created, in the Hermopolis version, or to split heaven from earth, in the Sumerian “Song of the Hoe“ version.
Greek scripts
The Greek script comes from Phoenician and the Greeks themselves tell us as much
Yes both Herodotus and Plutarch talk about Phoenician or Cadmus the “Phoenician” origin of the letters; this is the simplified model:
https://preview.redd.it/6rbgqsrnl91d1.jpg?width=1159&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=2266f47e09cbb05e0b10bedca38b326e88d5c3b9
The myth of Cadmus, aka 𓋹-ADM-𓉽𓆙 or 𓋹-ADaM-𓉽𓆙 (in Biblical terms) now, however, has been decoded, e.g. here, here, etc. as a cipher for the Egyptian hoe-sow-reap alphabet cosmology model, shown below:
https://preview.redd.it/jco1ugy8m91d1.jpg?width=1154&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=bcd99725ad1372b87214016b8a531df5e9835d03
Proto-Sinaitic script
Users here, in short, defend the illiterate Sinai Jewish miner theory origin of Phoenician, aka ShemLand model, shown below:
https://preview.redd.it/x8a2wp4wd91d1.jpg?width=1174&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=53ced6d75ff5c96e700e5a43b8f98e96757469a9
The originally cited “throwing stick“ G, cited by Robert Eisler (32A/1923), was “nothing but a forked branch broken from a tree and used as a weapon”.
https://preview.redd.it/2pt0jzlre91d1.jpg?width=1389&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=4d2814618098d3f4b9f214ff9fee4c58409454ae
Yeah 👍 [NO]; this makes little sense? The alphabet inventors had 11,050+ HieroTypes at their disposal to make the 3rd alphabet letter, and instead they just said “nay, let’s just use this broken tree branch I just found for letter three!”
These illiterate Jewish miners, according to the Gardiner-Goldwasser model, “looked at” the 11,050+ HieroTypes, and therefrom randomly picked two dozen characters to scratch on a cave wall, to make ox-house-stick 𓃾 𓉐 𓌙 [F1, O1, T14], instead of hoe-stars-earth 𓌹 𓇯 𓅬 [U6, N1, G38] origin, be the origin of ABG (𐤂𐤁𐤀).
South Semitic scripts
No mention of any of the South Semitic scripts
The new term is “South type 22 lunar scripts“, instead of the ShemLand loaded term “South Semitic scripts”, as there is no place “south” of where Shem was born, because Shem never existed.
The following is a Sabaean inscription (2700A/-645) addressed to the god Almaqah, mentioning five ancient Yemeni gods, two reigning sovereigns and two governors:
https://preview.redd.it/4mfi9o6an91d1.jpg?width=1721&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=2845e72e53f1b485b9fb3bafbeda16371f9e884e
We sill have to study these, as many of these seem to be Egyptian LunarScript like, e.g. letters: Y, pho (Φ), Π, O, B, R, N, X?
Nice comment made by user D[16]Y here!
Other
Today I messaged the mods of the Kemitic sub:
Maybe you should clarify your sub description box: “place for those interested in the “history of Ancient Egyptians”, so to avoid this type of confusion in the future.
The mods of the Kemitic sub replied (18 May A69) as follows:
If you'd read the rules, and other context clues, that should have told you this place is for topics relevant to the modern practice of the religion, and that some exceptions are considered off-topic. Most other people understand this just fine. I'm not putting on my paralegal hat to rewrite the sidebar for the sake of a single lost Redditor posting a fringe linguistic theory in a religious sub.
But I'll tell you what. Post the same over to AncientEgyptian. If the mods over there agree with you, or think there's any merit to what you're asserting whatsoever, we'll ignore the pseudohistory report we received, and reinstate it. Otherwise, it stays down under rule 5, which is an important exception we make to prevent free-for-all BS claims from flooding the discussion
My post was reported as “pseudo-history”, that is funny!
Regarding, “Post the same over to AncientEgyptian. If the mods over there agree with you, or think there's any merit to what you're asserting whatsoever”, I was perm-banned, a month ago (14 Apr A69/2024), from that sub, in two-hours, for cross-post the following image:
https://preview.redd.it/n73t0nxhfa1d1.jpg?width=1440&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=8c223320e13d194f5f5bfee866b4489fd90b9d61
Both subs, as we see, are in unified agreement that there are NO connections between Greek and Egyptian, and to even suggest so will get you banned (or post-removed)!
I replied to the Kemetic mod:
I didn’t reply to have the post “re-instated”, it was just a friendly suggestion to try to make your sub description box more clear, for others, in the future, who may be mis-led about what you sub is about, like I was. Have a nice day!
But whatever? Like I said, they should remove “place for those interested in the “history of Ancient Egyptians”, if they are going to ban posts on the “history of ancient Egyptian language“?
Kemet
The name Kemet, to clarify, derives from CartoPhonetics:
https://preview.redd.it/g7v6whlbja1d1.jpg?width=1686&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=941caec5ea6bcd86dcae3a571f6e3a1b7b6c5b26
Where:
  • 𓆎 [I6], thing: “crocodile scales”, meaning: /km/ [?]
  • 𓅓 [G17], thing: “owl 🦉”, carto-phono: /m/
  • 𓏏 [X1], thing: “bread 🍞”, carto-phono: /t/
  • 𓊖 [O49], meaning: city 🌆 or cosmos birth location
Whence:
/km/ + /m/ + /t/ = Kemet
Meaning, supposedly, “Egypt”, based on the following gardiner definition of the so-called crocodile 🐊 spine 𓆎 [I6] type, which makes the /km/ phono, but for unknown [?] reasons:
https://preview.redd.it/h275w45fka1d1.jpg?width=1875&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=d79929268248756d2eeae6d47b9a7765ca302920
Thus, here we are trying to help the “Kemetic” people get their phonetics straight, and they ban EAN?
But, whatever. I understand. Their sub is for ex-Christians, as I gather, who are trying to find their “African roots”, in the form of setting up worship displays of the Egyptian gods and HieroTypes.
They are just happy to even see the word “Kemet” instead of say “Egypt”, which they believe is a Western term, and hence not “pure Egyptian”, or something?
The only ironic part here is that the Kemetic sub seems to be the only Reddit sub who makes an effort to “speak like the Egyptians“, albeit using the Young-Champollion CartoPhonetics theory.

2024.05.18 23:25 plucky_wood Learning Levantine/MSA together?

Would love some advice please. I'm a very recent beginner to learning arabic - basically I've done the basics on duolingo, so I can recognise all the letters of the alphabet and sound out words, and know a few phrases. I'm moving on from duolingo now and planning out the next steps of study.
My girlfriend is Syrian, so a big reason I'm learning is to be able to talk to her friends and family (and understand what the hell they're saying). And because of that, I also have a whole group of people I can practice speaking Levantine Arabic with. So that's obviously a good reason to study Levantine arabic.
But I also love reading and writing, and I'd love to be able to read e.g. arabic news or books in the original language. And from what I understand, almost all literature and media is written in MSA - so in order to be able to read that effectively, I'd really need to study MSA, right?
So would it be crazy to try to study these together? Maybe get a textbook or course on MSA to practice reading and writing, and practice speaking and listening Levantine with my girlfriend? Should I just focus on Levantine and only look for resources about Levantine? Or should I focus on MSA first?
Any thoughts appreciated!

2024.05.18 22:37 para_blox For the sake of all unholy…bring back the old solo challenge tile pool balance!!

I don’t check this sub often, but if this a common refrain, absolutely no apologies from me—because Zynga needs to listen at least once!
Contrary to their marketing and explaining away, no fools “popularly demanded” multiple K, C, V, U to help us make it to 200. It’s asinine to consider we’d believe this ploy to make us waste power-ups, coins, time, and I guess they’re hoping actual cash on these minigames, because the new tipsy balance of letters is so skewed and confining.
PSA, it’s not flashy news: Higher scoring letters don’t make higher scoring words!! Most English words contain vowels—or they did, last I checked in on the legitimate composing features of the Roman alphabet. (“QGP” can SCK DCK.)
I paid a couple bucks for the complete game over a decade ago and haven’t given them a dime since. I have 99+ in all the power ups except hindsight because that’s the only one I use, costs 5 coin and I’m typically approaching 1500 of them.
Far from boastful here, that’s just the nature of mobile fake-scrabble addiction. Well, my player stats are decent, too, which is what we should mainly do within a game. Ya know, play it. With live opponents / no cheats.
But solo challenge used to be fun and relaxing. Now it’s frustrating—and accosting AF. Like I can’t breeze through my normal games without accidentally clicking King Clown Bozo and his un-punny one-liner.
Stop with this. Please. I beseech the Zynga gods lurking on Reddit. Your mildly-infuriated loyalist begs you. I can offer no threats nor incentives for it to change…but as the legacy Simpsons did preach—venting prevents (some) explosion.

I am learning Urdu alphabets right now, and I came across the word lekin but don’t understand the formation of it.
It’s written as : لیکن
I understand everything else but not the inclusion of the two dots since the letter “k” (ک) doesn’t have any dots. Also, if “q”(ق) is being used, then why does it have the formation of the standing line in ک ?
Can someone please help me with this? Thankyouu!

2024.05.18 21:19 slovakwop Apple CarPlay Music App Issues

When I use the music app on Apple CarPlay to access my mp3 library the menus do not display properly.
When I click on Artists it takes me to a screen that randomly lists like fifteen artists and then when I click on an artist it won’t show albums it’ll just be a shuffled playlist of their songs.
Sometimes it behaves and all my artists are displayed alphabetically and there is the A to Z # icon on the right of the screen that allows me to quickly navigate my artists by letter. This is what I need to be able to access all of my music but it rarely displays like this.
I’ve tried restarting my phone as well as disconnecting and reconnecting my phone with CarPlay but these troubleshooting solutions don’t seem to work.
Is there something wrong with my CarPlay settings?

2024.05.18 20:30 roseohseven Long first time trip report 5/13-5/18!

LOOOONG first time trip report! 5/13-5/18, stayed at Beach Club, visited all four parks, bought Genie+ every day, had the standard DDP. Family of 4, two girls 5 and 9. I learned so much from this group over the past year and especially loved trip reports, so hopefully this post will be helpful to someone!
💲BUDGET💲
-- I booked the trip a year out so I could break it up into 12 manageable payments. I opened the no fee Disney VISA, which gives you several months of no interest on charges made towards Disney travel packages, rewards dollars to use at Disney, and a couple other perks like character meet and greets and discounts.
-- I signed up for Disney Movie Insiders. This is what you're supposed to do with all those little codes that come in Disney DVDs/Blurays. You enter the codes in exchange for points, and at 1000 points, you can redeem for a $10 Disney gift card. You also get points for being subscribed to Disney+, seeing Disney movies in the theater, their social media accounts, and a whole bunch of other things. I got $50 in gift cards from this alone.
-- If you want Disney-themed luggage, try thinking outside the box to save money! I got plain luggage in Mickey colors--red and black--and Mickey luggage tags to make them Disney themed.
-- I tried to budget for souvenirs via gift cards... but I failed, lol. Everything is so expensive, $100 is gone in a second. Plushes are like $40, coffee cups are $20, etc. Whatever you're planning to spend, double it! I get what people say about most shops having the same stuff, but it's definitely not all of them, most of the ones post-ride have unique stuff. And honestly it's kind of nice most of them have the same stuff, if you want to get whatever your kid was asking for earlier, you don't have to walk all the way back to the one shop you saw it at.
-- We paid for Memory Maker and I'm on the fence about it. On the one hand, it's really nice to get all the ride photos and meet and greet photos and magic shots. It's also really nice for the whole family to be in a lot of pictures and not have to swap with the other adult or find someone willing to take your picture. On the other, we definitely didn't utilize it as much as I wanted to because a lot of the photographers had pretty long lines and I just didn't want to spend time waiting for a picture I could take myself. If we came across someone with a shortish or no line, we made sure to get it, but for anyone with a long line, we just stood around the same spot and took our own.
🗓️PLANNING🗓️
-- If you have kids and live within easy driving distance of another amusement park, highly recommend making a visit BEFORE going to Disney to get an idea of how they handle that kind of day/environment, especially if they have never been. I quickly discovered we would absolutely need a stroller and I would need to be militant with the kids about staying hydrated. Also to avoid face paint, as heat + tears + paint + eyes = bad day! I felt so much better making these discoveries beforehand and being able to prepare accordingly, rather than making them at Disney.
-- USE AN AGENT! An agent is free to you, so why not have the help? Ours was amazing, she gave us quotes, booked the package, rebooked as needed later when a better deal came out, made all the payments, dining and extra reservations, and was just all-around awesome to work with. It was such a load off to know I wasn't on my own with all this stuff.
-- Watch everything Ear Scouts. No one explains Genie+ better, and Rob and Erick's videos are just so positive and beautiful and well done.
-- I also enjoyed reading Disney Tourist Blog--lovingly snarky but super informative!--and Disney Food Blog for fun tips and news.
-- I didn't find any park to be a half day park, we filled our whole day in every one and still didn't see everything!
-- My kids did really well, whenever they were on the verge of cranky, we had one ride in the stroller for a while, bought a snack (usually ice cream or popcorn), and used the bubble wand, and/or gave them some ibuprofen, and everyone felt better pretty quick. We never tried to do fireworks, we were all done by 8 so always left after dinner. The only park we closed down was EPCOT because we didn't get out of dinner until after close, and that was a really cool experience, the park was so quiet and empty and beautiful!
-- You don't NEED a Magic Band... but man, was it convenient. We just had 1.0 Magic Bands though, we didn't bother with the 2.0s.
-- I guess moving through security fast is important to people rope dropping... but as someone who didn't, it added like maybe 30 seconds to a minute to the experience the couple times my bag got flagged, it's really not a big deal.
-- I'm not saying anyone's lying about bad experiences or exaggerating or anything, but try to remember that far more people go on the Internet to complain than they do to praise. I got so stressed about all the things that could go wrong, and we had a pretty much perfect trip. The only attraction that broke down on us was Muppetvision, of all things. The only "bad behavior" we witnessed was the morning we were leaving, we could hear a dad across the hall yelling at his family, I think they overslept and were going to miss their flight or something? We just turned the TV on so we didn't have to hear him. A couple times we forgot to take our stuff with us when we parked our stroller or forgot some food in it, and neither people nor animals bothered it. The only dicey thing that happened to us was me dropping my phone into the Dumbo moat, the cast members fished it out and it still worked, I sent them a cast compliment for all their help! All the cast members were great, I'm not really sure what people expect but IMO they all do amazing for having to be peppy and helpful all day in absolutely blazing heat, walking a ride conveyer belt nonstop, repeating the same spiels over and over, meeting person after person, etc. I wouldn't last a 2 hour shift let alone 8. Cast members, you rock!!!
✈️TRAVEL✈️
-- We flew Delta, flight there was flawless, flight home was delayed by an hour waiting for crew and was a little bumpy (which is not great for a nervous flyer like me) but otherwise fine.
-- Get TSA PreCheck! Good for a few years, if the adults have it the kids have it too. It made the whole experience so much easier. That said, even PreCheck still moves kind of slow at MCO, so definitely get there at least 2 hours early for your flight. Use curbside check-in for bags, way faster than the long line inside!
-- On our agent's recommendation, we used Away We Go for ground transport in Orlando. They communicate really well, both ways were flawless, no complaints!
-- We used Minnie Vans to get to Animal Kingdom + Sanaa and Magic Kingdom, what a wonderful service! Definitely pricey, but they had cartoons on in the car, booster seats they set up for you, and the drivers were so nice and friendly and had fun trivia to share. I never had any problem requesting one when I needed it.
⛱️BEACH CLUB⛱️
-- We knew we wanted an onsite hotel where you could walk to at least one park. This pretty much limits you to a handful of Deluxe hotels or the Swan and Dolphin. Beach Club won for us because it's "in the Disney bubble" and you can walk to 2/4 parks. Note that while you can technically walk to Hollywood Studios, it is a LOOOONG walk. The boat is a nice not crowded alternative! We did not make use of Early Entry or Extended Hours, we're just not built for either. Beach Club was lovely, we booked a resort view but I think we ended up with a water view, we were right by the quiet pool and could see the water beyond from our room. Stormalong Bay was a little crazy for us but we loved the quiet pool. Best thing about Beach Club though is the location, EPCOT is literally steps away!
🌳ANIMAL KINGDOM🌳
-- We had read that there's really no bad day to do AK, so we started there. We rode: Navi River Journey, Flight of Passage, Kali River Rapids, Everest, Kilimanjaro Safaris, Triceratops Spin, and Dinosaur--so pretty much everything! With Genie+ we walked onto all of them. We also met Moana, Pocahontas, and Russell! The only thing we didn't do here that we wanted to was the Gorilla Falls trail, but we just ran out of time before the park closed.
🌐EPCOT🌐
-- We had read to avoid EPCOT on Fridays and Saturdays, so we went on Wednesday. We rode: Grand Fiesta Tour, Living with the Land, Nemo, Spaceship Earth, Imagination with Figment, Frozen, Remy, Journey of Water, and Guardians--everything we wanted! Again, with Genie+, we walked right onto everything! Outside of our character meal (more on that in the dining section!), we also met Anna, Elsa, and Asha! Tried a couple of Flower and Garden snacks: chicken and waffles, fruit and cheese strudel, and potato pancakes, all were delicious! Everyone had a different favorite day, but EPCOT was personally my favorite day, it felt like we were firing on all cylinders and the day just went really smoothly!
🏰MAGIC KINGDOM🏰
-- We had read that Wednesdays were the quietest days at MK, so we were originally going to try to do it that day, but we could only get a reservation for Cinderella's Royal Table on Thursday, so we switched it up. Definitely the most crowded of all the parks we visited, but I think that's just the norm for MK, everyone wants to go to the castle park with the most rides. We rode: Regal Carousel, Tomorrowland Speedway, Barnstormer, Magic Carpets, Mad Tea Party, People Mover, Dumbo, Small World, Little Mermaid, Pirates, Space Ranger Spin, Jungle Cruise, TRON, and Peter Pan. Again, with Genie+, we walked right onto everything! The only ride we missed at this park that we wanted to do was Pooh, I couldn't manage to get a return time that was earlier than we planned on leaving. Outside of our character meals (more on those in the dining section!) we also met Mirabel, Tiana, and Rapunzel! We had both the Rapunzel and Aurora ice creams, both so good and cute!
🎬HOLLYWOOD STUDIOS🎬
-- We had read that, like MK, it's better to do HS later in the week, so we went Friday. We rode: Slinky, Alien Saucers, Toy Story Mania, Rise, Smuggler's Run, Runaway Railway. Again, with Genie+, we walked right onto everything! The only ride we missed was Tower of Terror, again I couldn't manage to get a return time that was earlier than we planned on leaving. We also met Olaf, be aware Olaf doesn't sign stuff, they just give you a signature card. This park needs more shade IMO, especially Toy Story Land, I know it's supposed to be Andy's backyard, but I don't see why that means we can't have some shade from trees or something. 🤪 Blue milk from Galaxy's Edge was really good, the family was all fighting over it!
🍽️DINING🍽️
-- We almost certainly lost some money on the DDP, but I'm still glad we got it because it allowed us to do more table service meals and have less stress overall about expenses. We easily used up everything but child quick service credits, we had a few of those left over near the end.
Here's where we ate!
BOARDWALK DELI/PIZZA WINDOW: Pizza for the kids, sandwiches for the adults. Tasty and satisfying after our day of travel!
BEACHES AND CREAM: Got the kitchen sink for the experience, but honestly it's not great, all the ice cream and toppings melt together quick and you just end up with weird ice cream soup.
SAT'ULI CANTEEN: LOVED this place, everything was so yummy! Best quick service we had!
SANAA: Since Animal Kingdom closes so early, we thought we'd try to extend the experience by eating at Sanaa. What a great idea, we got seated right by a window and saw so many animals! The food was great too.
AKERSHUS: Our favorite princess meal! We met Aurora, Tiana, Snow White, Ariel, and Belle. They were all lovely, and the breakfast was really good too. Only 1 credit on the DDP!
GARDEN GRILL: Our kids really enjoyed getting to look down over Living with the Land and the fact that the restaurant spins. We met Farmer Mickey, Pluto, and Chip and Dale. They were fun and even came to our table more than once. Food was good!
SPACE 220: Not on the DDP, but wow, what a cool restaurant! Almost like a ride with the theming and the elevator up. Food was really good.
CINDERELLA'S ROYAL TABLE: You gotta eat in the castle! We paid for it OOP because we didn't want to use up 2 DDP credits here. You're really going for the location and the princesses, the food is kinda meh, not bad but not as good as other places. The restaurant is small and they have to turn tables quick, so it's very understandable to me that the princesses have to move fast. It's not that they rush you, they'll take all the pictures you ask for and sign whatever and answer your questions, but if you don't have much you need, they try to keep moving. Akershus is much bigger so they are able to be more relaxed there. The only small bummer is that we didn't see Merida (maybe she was on vacation too!) We did meet Cinderella, Ariel, Jasmine, and Aurora though!
CRYSTAL PALACE: We are not big on buffets but we enjoyed meeting Pooh, Piglet, Eeyore and Tigger!
TOPOLINO'S: Maybe the best food of the trip, steak and eggs were so good! The character artist costumes are so cute too. It was fun to have an excuse to ride the Skyliner to get here from Beach Club too.
DOCKING BAY 7: The theming is great, but the food wasn't as good as Satuli Canteen IMO.
THE MARKET AT ALE & COMPASS: We had quick service credits we wanted to use up on the last day and we didn't want to leave the resort again, otherwise I would have gone somewhere else, food was meh.
✨EXTRAS✨
-- I originally wanted to book Bibbidi Bobbidi Boutique for my kids, but it's so expensive/competitive that I decided to didn't want the stress. Instead I booked Have Wand, Will Travel to come to our room and bought dresses from Presley Couture and Only Little Once. I chose Have Wand, Will Travel because they keep character throughout. Fairy Godmother Elyse was amazing and so much fun, my kids loved it and kept talking about it all day!
-- That same morning I ordered a Sammicakes breakfast box with beignets for us to eat. I also ordered a pretend letter from The DCP and Me on Etsy to make it seem like the breakfast came from Tiana. My kids also loved this and had fun telling Tiana about it both times we met her. Sammicakes was good but a LOT of food, sadly we didn't end up eating half of it. It can last you at least 3 days!
-- We had Birthdays and More decorate our door, it was a really fun surprise for the kids on our first day and made our room easy to find. The kids also loved reusing the decorations at home on their own doors!
-- Matching shirts and ear hats, all from Etsy! So many cool designs there, hardest part is choosing!
-- Got my kids a pin trading lanyard with some pins, they loooooved pin trading! It was like free souvenirs.
🧳PACKING🧳
-- Things the Internet Told Me to Pack That I Needed: Scissors, ziploc bags, ibuprofen (kids and adults), garbage bags, big carabiners to hook on the strolleuse to carry multiple bags at once.
-- Things the Internet Told Me to Pack that I Didn't Need: stainless steel straws (the paper straws are more like hard cardboard, they really don't break down unless your kid is gnawing on them or something), ponchos (it did rain some most days, but wearing a poncho was almost more miserable than not wearing one, it's so hot and humid to be walking around in a plastic bag! We did better taking shelter and using umbrellas.), wipes (obv you need them if your kid is younger, but mine were older and just never got messy enough to need them), glow sticks (we never stayed anywhere long enough to use them), bottled wateLiquid IV (the tap water tasted the same as home to us, but we live in a rural area so maybe we are just used to imperfect water?) Basically, the less you can get away carrying in the parks, the better. It's annoying to lug stuff around you don't end up needing or using!
🛞STROLLER🛞
-- I know it seems insane that your 5 year old and 9 year old will need a stroller, but mine definitely did. Once I accepted that I was going to have to get one, I tried to make the best of it, and actually got really into decorating it so we could always easily spot it in the sea (the decorations also later made nice wall decor for a gallery of our trip!) The Magic Spotter flag was the best investment, hardly anyone had them so it was easy to instantly spot our stroller anywhere we left it, even if it got moved. That said, I definitely didn't want to spend a lot on a stroller we were really only buying for this one trip, so I got a used Joovy Caboose on Facebook Marketplace for $50. It was very hard to handle with two older kids in it, and even with one it was hard to handle unless the kid was in the back seat. So we basically used it like a single stroller, glad I didn't spend a lot on it since it was so hard to drive!
☔WEATHER☔
-- We had mostly great weather, it rained some every day except Magic Kingdom day but it passed within an hour each time. We wore socks with Crocs so that if/when it rained, we could just take our wet socks off and walk in our Crocs, this worked great! Don't trust the weather reports though, two days it wasn't supposed to rain. One day it actually didn't, the other day it did and we had to walk in wet shoes because we didn't wear the Crocs that day. Just figure it might rain any day and be prepared! See above note RE: ponchos being not great and shelter + umbrellas being better. When it didn't rain, It. Was. Hot. 🥵 In the 90s but definitely felt hotter with the humidity making it so sticky. We felt there was plenty of shade at Animal Kingdom and EPCOT, but hardly any at Magic Kingdom and Hollywood Studios, which I would say slightly affected how much fun we had on those days comparatively.
Phew! That's about it, let me know if you have any questions!

Heath is scared of Ghosts?
First post here and thought you guys would appreciate this! Just hanging out with death and the ghost of my legacy challenges original matriarch walks by and Death starts to cower with the thought bubble of a ghost over his head. Sure enough his moodlet changed to scared over seeing a ghost. Uh, I think you may be in the wrong profession buddy😂😂 I’m doing an alphabet legacy challenge of my own creation where the gens names start with the letter of the Gen as well as career (which took some word play lol) and color. For example Aria (our spooky ghost😂) was an astronaut and her clothes/house were aqua themed. I know I’m not the first to do a challenge like this but I couldn’t find any that had every single letter of the alphabet so I just made up my own. Also every Gen gets a new house, I am working on my building, decorating, and landscaping but I’m on console and can’t use cheats so it’s not perfect but I’m proud! I’m starting to upload them to the gallery just to challenge myself. Let me know if you want to know more about my legacy challenge! I’ve been considering writing down the rules and actually posting it.💕
