    Backpack Etiquette-first post, hope all goes well?!

    This is also a pet peeve of mine when boarding an airplane. I always take my backpack off and hold it in front of me when I board. I've been the aisle person whacked in the face by a backpack too many times!!

    How do you keep your phone charged in the parks?

    One thing I like to do is put my phone in Airplane mode when I'm not using it. It seriously saves my battery. When I need to use my phone then I turn it on. And I can answer any calls/messages at that time. I usually will read a book on my phone, so I'm still using the screen, it's just not...

    Passing time while in line

    Like others have said here - I read in line and at restaurants. I have iBooks on my phone loaded up with some easier reads like novels and autobiographies. Something that's not to tricky to pick up if you randomly have to put it down. My husband will pack his smaller Kindle in his pocket. I also...

    Best resort for teenage boy (15) to stay ?

    My younger brother (he's 14) and I stayed in an AOA suite, which was great for the two of us. We each had our own space/privacy - beds and bathrooms. I slept in the bedroom with the bathroom attached, he slept on the couch and used the main bathroom. They had a great pool and he liked the...

    Delta credit card question

    I think too it depends where you live. I live in MSP, a Delta hub, so I fly Delta most often based on the availability of direct flights where I want to go. The savings then on baggage, seats, etc. go a long way as it applies to most flights I take. I have the Chase Sapphire Reserve (above)...

    Disney's ART OF ANIMATION RESORT Information & Questions

    I stayed in building #1 last week and it was great to be so close to everything. I would recommend it. We did not have any noise issues at all.

    What do you do before a trip... to make it easier when you get back..

    I clean the house as well, and I always change the sheets so we have some nice, clean sheets when we get home. Another thing I did after a recent trip was get one of those meal delivery services setup for the week we return. It's great not having to worry about meal prepping or planning for...

    Boma vs. Tusker House! Can't make up my mind!

    One thing that swung my vote this trip was the fact that you can book a ROL package with Tusker House. We're doing the DDP and that package can count as a TS credit, which is nice. Not sure if that helps you or not, but it did help me!

    Any experience flying from MSP to Orlando?

    I think it would probably be easier for you all to just go together (but you know your family!). It's kind of a ways and you'd have to wait in the lobby of the ticketing area for probably 20-30 min waiting for your husband where there aren't a ton of places to sit. Plus I know my younger...

    Any experience flying from MSP to Orlando?

    I fly out of MSP every week so I can help you out! The Value parking is part of the MSP airport, but it's at Terminal 2. It's pretty easy to park and there are lots of covered spaces. It's at Terminal 2, so if you need to go to Terminal 1 for Delta you can take the Lightrail one stop over...

    How do you define being "Good with Money"?

    What a great question! I agree with many of the points above - not spending more than you earn, saving for retirement, etc. Two things I think are also invaluable: 1) Being able to communicate openly with your spouse/partner/dependents/etc. regarding money. I think this is a HUGE thing to...

    Coffee stays hot in the carafe? Plus, one thing I wish DCL did.

    You could also check out Contigo travel mugs. They seal up and keep drinks hot for hours. I haven't tried it overnight, but I have tried it for a whole workday and it works fine. You can find 2-packs at Costco frequently.

    Help! 'We can't check you in online, because government regulations...'

    I had this a few weeks ago (traveling for work) and read a bunch of stuff online about getting an SSSS on your boarding card - this means you'll get super-extra screening. I got to the airport pretty early and was prepared for that. However, when I went to a kiosk to get my boarding card it just...
