For anyone flying out of the states this week, be prepared for TSA to require that all electronics larger than a phone be removed from your carry on bag and placed in a bin for screening. In some airports they are now also requiring that all food in your carryon also be removed and placed in a bin for screening too. Precheck did not save me from those headaches at O’Hare a few weeks ago.
And for those who will spend a few more days/weeks in Europe and travel by plane, above is pretty the normal standard within Europe. Laptops and tablets for sure in a bin, no sleeve/cover, and it's wise to also take out other electronic devices. They can draw attention to the security camera if they are hidden at the bottom of your bag. And don't you worry, the rules for electronics and liquids are pretty much regulated within European airports, however the questions on shoes on/off, taking off your fitbit etc. really differs per airport and sometimes per security guard ;-)
I just did my last long training run, 18K, the last 3K was pushing it with walk-run-walk-run, but I made it and I'm actually quite happy. I did it in just under 2h (1.57) and that means I should be able to break my record of last year (2.32) for sure. But it depends on the character stops by how much
My strategy is the same as last year, only stop for unique/favourite characters or if there is no line. Last year I met Alice on the way back entering the park area again. She is quite easy to meet in DLP and not a favourite of mine, but she was there, being bored, so I hopped by for a picture.
I'm not a Marvel fan, so I think for the 5K there won't be a lot of characters I'd like. But for the 10K and the Half... I love my villains! I fear a lot of stops! ;-)
Decided in the end against costumes, I couldn't come up with anything good, I'm terrible with a sewing machine, and don't have the money right now to buy it on Etsy or something.[/user]
