We've only been through once since the change (connecting at YYC) so we had the longer photo upload process to contend with. Glad to hear your later experience was so streamlined. It's funny, since we hadn't travelled to the US since pre-covid, on the way down I wasn't sure whether we'd get the...

From the YEG Nexus page: The Canada Border Services Agency (CBSA) recently modernized the way NEXUS members are processed at Canadian airports. The existing NEXUS kiosks that use iris recognition technology have been replaced with new, modernized NEXUS kiosks that use facial verification...

We just used up our last non-exp tickets this past March. Like others here, we're done paying stellar prices for what is essentially a stripped down product. Disney has always been about the cash grab but post-covid all pretense has been stripped away along with the few perks that were left...

Just one more thought about gift cards. We used ours to pay off our room-only reservation on arrival with a number of $500 CAD cards. The cast member thanked us for not bringing a grocery bag full of small denomination gift cards to check in with. He said that some folks have so many it takes...

We were at WDW over the first week of March and our $500 CDN Disney gift cards converted to $366.49 USD. Just an example of course, your mileage will vary.

Just back from eight nights at CBR, our 12th stay at the resort. We were in building 51 in Aruba. We found it to be a great location but the Skyliner does go over the building so there is some noise (when the cars go over a pylon/the chimes before announcements) during the day if you might be...

You know back in the day we used to convince ourselves that we actually got something of value by staying at a Disney hotel. Magical Express, extra magic hours, dining reservations at 6 months out, and early FastPass+ selections were enough to keep us happy paying higher prices. Now that's all...

Ok, thanks, so that's how they do it. I'm sure I saw on the CBP site somewhere that it had to be entered at least 72 hours before departure? Apparently not.

Ok, so it's been awhile since I've flown with WestJet. We're booked for early March and I've entered passenger, passport and Nexus info into our profiles. In the past we needed to enter our address while in the US into the airline's website as well. We certainly had to do it for our last trip in...

My wife's family are all in the Niagara region. Swoop is our go to airline for flying from Edmonton to Hamilton. Way easier for the in-laws to pick us up compared to Pearson. All in all we've had good experiences. One 2 hour delay coming home out of probably 10 trips was the only issue we had...

The last time we were there was in 2019. We had a few $500 Canadian Disney gift cards with us and every few days I went to the front desk to throw one of them onto our account balance before we reached the limit and it was charged to my credit card. We got the exchange rate of the day so our...

I absolutely agree. It is so worth it. We once took a redeye from YEG and pre-clearance was not open that late so we had to clear Customs on arrival in Houston. After standing in line for an hour+ and watching all those people going through in just a few minutes I decided that it was worth it...

Wow, I see what you all mean. Just had a peek for our local (Alberta) March break and it's over $1000 pp on the first day of the break, Saturday, when most folks will be wanting to travel. On the previous Wednesday it's $575 per person. These are connecting flights on United. Forget Westjet...

Y Yeah I get that. One reason we have usually flown United out of YEG was that the IAH connection got us below the snow belt on the first hop. Handy since we usually travelled in the deep of winter and avoiding winter storms was important to DW. While a bit risky, weather wise, the DEN flights...

United has connecting flights from YYC as low as $546CAN. Connecting in Denver (long layover) or Houston for $633CAN. Once the airlines use up their future bids for fuel, prices will likely be crazy.

In Disney speak "adjoining" means the rooms are next to each other and might even be back to back with the doors on opposite sides of the building. We actually got that once. "Connecting" rooms have a door between them. Your room request and the other reservation number is all you need. They...

We have had a connecting king and two queens room many times. They do exist!

Right now, I know for a fact that I could fly to London or Paris for a week and it would cost less than a week at WDW. Even with a few shows, plays, or excursions, thrown in for good measure. A nice 3 star hotel in London that I know (and lets face it most WDW hotels are not more than 3 stars)...

We still have a couple of 8 day park hoppers from the original issue of the Canadian Ticket Offer. I'm thinking that we've got to use them eventually but DW is flat out refusing to ever set foot on Disney property again. This after going at least once a year for the last 20 years and admittedly...

Here in AB (yeah, that place...don't get me started, lol!), our local pharmacist told DW on Friday that if you had the AZ vaccine, you would be allowed a course of two MRna shots, for a complete re-do. It was news to DW's doctor too. We're going in tomorrow to get the first of the two. I'll see...
