Why Disney?

 

We have had the Disney+ bundle with Hulu for many years. The only problem we have had is that Hulu forces us to log off and log back in every so often. It was kind of exciting when Disney+ added the Hulu stuff to the app because we didn't have to worry as much about the Hulu thing. 

Now, we have an interesting complication with Disney+. Both of the TVs with Rokus gave us a message that they are not showing as part of the household all of a sudden. Why? I have no idea. They are accessed by the same WiFi network as everything else. It is a simple fix, but a bit more difficult when the account holder is at work and can't always answer calls or texts. 

Yesterday, Noel got this message. Chad is the account holder and works installing and repairing internet and cable. I tried to call in case he was between jobs. Then, I took a picture of her screen and sent it to him asking for help fixing it. When he got the chance he called. We requested the code needed. He had to check his email and read it off to us. Had he been home, he would have navigated the remote and it would have been fixed a lot quicker. 

I understand the idea of trying to crack down on account sharing, but this is frustrating. It is literally accessed by the same home network. Why is it only the Rokus that are being targeted? Be smarter about this Disney.

Holiday Baking Championship

 

I stream shows while I work, and they often become obsessions for a while. There have been a few that I stopped watching before the end simply because they lost me in one way or another after many seasons, but for the most part, I watch them from the first episode to the last. 

My most recent show is the Holiday Baking Championship from the Food Network. I’m not normally a person that would go for a show like this, but I am loving it. I started watching it a few days ago because I wanted to watch something to bring the Christmas spirit to my day that I could start and stop around my daughter’s schedule for finals. I knew if I started a movie, I would be reluctant to turn it off when I needed to take her or pick her up, and I was potentially going to need to pick her up or drop her off every hour or two because of the crazy schedule she had one day. She ended up being sick and not having a voice they say I was concerned about, but I was hooked before she woke up. (I start work at 6am.) 

I have had fun watching this show. There aren’t many episodes per season which makes it even easier to get sucked in. I am currently in the middle of season 4 and still loving it. It has also made me want to bake again. My family will happily help me eat the things I will make for tomorrow. 

I don’t know if I will keep watching it much longer because it u in s a very seasonal show. I will have to remember to watch it again next year.
