    Child with brace - TSA Screening?

    Thank you everyone! I'll talk to her about what to expect, including the possibility of a pat-down and if she doesn't like the idea of it, we can just carry it through security and have it x-rayed, and we'll deal with putting in on in the restroom after we through security.

    Child with brace - TSA Screening?

    We'll be traveling for the first time since my daughter got her back brace for scoliosis. The brace is mostly plastic but it does have a bit of metal for the hook and loop closures, so I'm not sure if it will set off the metal detector. I looked at the TSA website and it didn't say much. Does...

    Two families in one room, do I understand how Magic Band and G+ will work?

    Ok thank you both! I'd forgotten that the MBs charge the room not the CC linked to the app, but that shouldn't be a big deal, she can always just pay by pulling out a credit card or using Apple Pay rather than her MB. I'll ask her if she wants to do her own MDE account - she might as we could...

    Two families in one room, do I understand how Magic Band and G+ will work?

    Currently planning a trip for June 2023 for my daughter and me, along with my friend and her daughter (who is also DD's BFF). We are all staying in a single room and of course are on the same reservation booked via my Disney online account, my friend doesn't currently have one. Naturally we...

    Breakfast on the go options.. no microwave!

    On our WDW trip a few years ago, I made a PB&J sandwich for DD in the mornings for a quick in-room breakfast. Its mostly healthy and I knew she’d eat it without complaint. Hand to Mickey it’s still her favorite memory of the trip! Something about eating lunch for breakfast really blew her six...

    Quick 20 hour solo trip to "fix" my tickets and Fairfield Inn mini review.

    I'm glad you got it worked out "remotely", for lack of a better term. You'd have thought that during the shut down Disney would have thought this through a bit more and made it easier for non-local guests to be able to exchange expired park tix. I mean it's great they extended the expiration...

    Southwest changing schedules

I work in corporate (vs. leisure) travel and I've got over two decades of experience in dealing with the airlines. Disclaimer - The following are general airline policies, YMMV (literally) with your...

    Warning for those taking a cab from SNA

    I went about a month ago and paid Uber around $50 each way, plus I tipped $10 each time. Both cars were much nicer than what a typical cab is (at least the cabs I've been in, anyway) and the drivers were nice but respected the fact I don't really chat much. Anyway, for our next trip, I'll...

    Fresh Fruit Question

    Excellent, thank you! We'll still check of course but it's nice to know ahead of time that it shouldn't be an issue.

    Fresh Fruit Question

    Does anyone know if the fruit carts typically have cantaloupe/musk melon? My DH is deathly allergic to it, just worried about cross contamination if we get something from one of them. Thanks!

    Best value family suite with private(r) bathroom or 2 baths?

    I know OP already booked (happy you found something that will work for you!) but I wanted to give an honorable mention to Fairfield Inn It has the typical tub/shower/toilet separate from the sink area (complete with a normal swinging door) BUT the sink area (and thus also the toilet/shower...

    Knott's Soak City?

    Just curious if any here have any experiences with Knott's Berry Farm's Soak City? We have a non-Disney park day planned during our week-long trip in June and I'm seriously considering us doing that for the day. Just me, DH and DD age 10. Looks like a typical water park but thought I'd ask...

    Old Ticket Question

    I'm glad Disney seems to be willing to work with you!

    Old Ticket Question

    I was in this exact situation, tix booked through Undercover Tourist (UT) in Feb. 2020 and are now expired, and I live in IL. We are planning a trip for June '22. My understanding is that even though Disney will let you make park reservations on expired tix, Disney cancels your park...

    Quick 20 hour solo trip to "fix" my tickets and Fairfield Inn mini review.

    I was sorry about not liking TJ's either, I'm no food snob, I typically like everything so this was surprising to me. If DH and DD want to eat there we'll do it (I can always just order nachos) but it's no longer at the top of my "wow I really want to eat there" list. I was treating myself at...

    Quick 20 hour solo trip to "fix" my tickets and Fairfield Inn mini review.

    This I'm not sure on. Were you able to make park reservations on your expired tickets? I didn't think that was possible, if you were I'm not sure how that will interact with needing to get new valid tickets and switch from a child to adult ticket. In your shoes I'd give Disney a call and ask so...

    Masks indoors?

    I was at DTD on Saturday - like other posters have said they are not required but plenty of people still wear them, so if you want to wear them - you won't be the only ones. I didn't witness anyone fussing others over wearing/not wearing a mask. Just wanted to put that out there for those that...
