I've been going solo(male) for 10 years (by car)... I've always had more trouble getting back in Canada than getting into the US, It's been easier since I have NEXUS. My next trip is in 3 weeks and I'm honestly nervous, but I renewed my annual pass in October so I want to get at least one trip out of it.

Glad you had a great time! That is a cruise I would like to do!
I've read elsewhere that she had violated the terms of her work visa and it had also expired. She was denied entry from the Canadian side and flew down to Mexico and tried again. Highly doubt that the average Canadian is going to be detained for no apparent reason.
I have acquaintances that say the same thing. I just reply that Premier Trump may have a hard time to adjust with his being the 11’th province
I’m not upset at anyone. You seem to be confused.
It's a shame that people can't keep their politics to themselves even when they are in the Disney bubble. I have DVC and am going in October. I don't discuss, or even mention politics when I'm there (annually for about 30 years). I'm there to have fun, cast members are there to work at helping me enjoy my vacation. Just leave it at that.
Unfortunately the U.S. does not recognize Canadian pardons of criminal records.I’ve flown to WDW solo many times - no issues going thru customs. I have Nexus and I’ve went thru with them not even asking a question. I’ll report back next weekend with how it goes.
At least when flying out of Canada …you are still in Canada it you have issues at the “border” The one often seen in the news about the Canadian that got held ..if you just look at headlines you would miss that they were entering from Mexico, and on a Visa, not for pleasure. If you are denied entry, do not try alternate ways to enter. (I have a relative that tried this 10 years ago - they were denied at one airport, so tried another that they had flown out of before. Of course failed. ..which is also to say it you have a VERY old thing on your criminal record that is minor - get it pardoned before you attempt to cross while trying to take your grandkid to Disney
All they see is the initial criminal charges on their end. The only way is to apply for a waiver with the U.S., which can be quite a lengthy / costly process.
More trouble? You're Canadian aren't you?
Actually, I can relate to that. Back in 2017 I was returning from dropping off my son at Buffalo Airport. The Canadian customs officer asked me a string of questions:
Sometimes short trips can be perceived as suspicious where they can suspect you are either bringing contraband across the border or large sums of cash.
I can add buying flights on very short notice. We were questioned quite extensively in 2013 when we made a last minute trip to Disney, as in booking on Friday and flying on Saturday. In the end all we needed to say is that we were fed up with our crappy winter weather, lol.
Yup. I once flew a few hours after the ticket was purchased. And it was a one-way ticket that was purchased for me by someone else (my sibling's company) and I had just left the US (for Canada) a few days earlier. I could understand why they were asking questions, to be fair.
