Oh sad. Trailers made it look good.

Direct flights are also a decent bit more expensive sometimes

Yeah honestly Indianapolis doesn't have tons of direct flights to Orlando, especially at this time of the year. Most all delta is through Atlanta, which can be a shame show for normal operations let alone with this garbage going on now.  We had a direct flights with spirit a few months ago but those idiots changed their schedule and had us flying into New Jersey at 5am then layover another 5 hours before flying to Orlando.

So we went American with the charlotte layover. We are about an hour or so from the Indy so by the time we actually would land in Florida it's already 10ish hours of travel time. So it really wasn't that much more to drive. Just being cramped in the car for longer but not that bad

Hail, fellow wanderers of the VizionEck realm! 'Tis I, the Wizard Farmer, plowing through the digital dirt with my enchanted hoe, harvesting the ripest gossip from the enchanted vines of the past week. Behold, the top four scrolls that bubbled up like potion in a cauldron—ones ye might've missed amid your own spell-casting:

Now, for the grand tilling of the leaderboard! The top poster this harvest moon was Legend, with a whopping 17 posts. That's two tickets in the monthly raffle, plucked fresh from the vine! Close behind, the-Pi-guy tilled 8 posts for a ticket of their own, and BasilZero reaped 5 for another sparkly entry.

In the art of starting threads, Legend once again enchanted the fields with 1 new topic—earning a third raffle ticket atop the posting throne. A true legend indeed!

And lo, the likes flowed like mana: the-Pi-guy gathered 5 sweet nods, while Legend bestowed 11 likes upon the realm. Both snag an extra ticket for their generous spirits!

I'll return next week, scythe in hand, with more bountiful updates from the wizardly fields. Until then, may your forums flourish like my ever-growing enchanted squash! 🌽✨

you have to be going at least a minium distance to make flying worth it.   maybe ya'll can get in/out faster than me but a flight means going to the airport like 4 hours before the flight and from the airport to a hotel likely adds another 2 hours.   add in the flight time and even the shortest of flights takes up a day of travel time.   also it's pretty stressful.

driving chicago can be stressful too but the highways between cities can be quite nice sometimes.

my brother is in twin cities Mn and it's not even a question if i'm going to drive.   the drive is ~6.5 hours.  The flight would probably be 8 hours and loads more expensive.   that trip is just over 400 miles.   

we flew to NYC which is just under 800 miles.   helps that once we got to NYC having a car would have been a detriment not an asset.

My parents always drive places. Drove like 18 hours to Tennessee, Louisiana, Alabama. 

I think there's something very nice about driving.

Somehow I feel like time goes slower on airplanes, like 15 hours of driving feels like less time than 6 hours of flying. 

Yeah this was a 15 hour drive.  It's really not that bad if you can switch off drivers and stop every once in a while. 

Sometimes I hate all that an airport entails. It was just made worse with what's happening now.

Got to stop at a Buc-ees for the first time. Plus I don't see much of the country too often so it's cool to see more than just the flat fields of Indiana

Because we left last night we are still going to arrive nearly around the same time as if we stayed on the flight

I'm gonna guess we could have gotten to Orlando just fine but there was just too many variables with different planes coming in and if those would be on time. And then our return from Orlando could be affected since the cuts will likely ramp up and ripple from today in a worse situation

This is crazy. So in May of 2025 it was delayed to May 2026.

And now in November 2025 it was delayed to November 2026.

Wonder what the heck is going on behind the scenes. Is it all gravy, just the "wtf this huge game is too huge" stuff or is it a half sunk ship they're trying to save?

Honestly? I think they always intended to delay it to November of 2026. They probably always wanted to release it In the holiday period. 

But if they delayed it from may 2025 to November 2026 they would have gotten a huge backlash. A delay for a year and a half is huge. But if they push it back from may to November, it's not as big.
