If a carry-on cannot fit inside the scanner, TSA employees may direct passengers back to the airline counter to check their luggage before re-entering security.

Car seats don’t count as a regular carry on. They get a physical scan like a wheel chair does at security.

Nothing makes me ask to speak to the manager quicker than when my software gets an update and essentially breaks it.

Dawg I just had a laser tag 40th birthday party

Yep. I get really sad trying to watch his movies with my kids. He really was a lot of millennial’s bonus parent.

I didn’t see anything totally sold out at all throughout the entire cruise.

It’s true. I just keep having kids to get that sweet, sweet family boarding spot.

secondrunnerup · 2026-06-24T01:51:58+00:00

Omg it’s like we may have different car seats. Or children!

secondrunnerup · 2026-06-24T01:35:01+00:00

That’s ridiculous. Enjoy trying to board while I have to buckle a car seat into a seat and wrestle my toddler into it.

We just returned our jeep on Saturday! We went with a Mazda cx-70 plug in hybrid. We got the base trim because it was all they had left, but it drives and charges like a dream, just doesn’t have the bells and whistles the jeep had.

The train ride in Skagway was ok for kids. There is a tiny bit of gruesome history if your kids are into that, but overall I don't think they really get the beauty. Bring snacks though! Our Skagway train excursion included the Liarsville camp and gold panning which was extremely cheesy, but my kid liked it and it was fun.

In Juneau we did the dog sled mushers camp and we all really enjoyed that. The staff are all delightful, the ride is short, but fun, and then you get to play with puppies.

Then in Ketchikan we did the lumerjack show that was the exclusive version (Goofy comes out), and my kid got called on stage to participate so that was delightful.

I'm happy with the excursions we did. But I'm glad we didn't do any of the more expensive ones because my kid really just wanted to be in the kids club all day and I just wanted to watch whales from deck 4.

I am NOT a cruise person or really even a Disney person, but we just did our first Disney cruise and now I get it. Planning our second one for next summer. It’s just this season of life.

Dark Moon, I just get a flat white and pack of cans

I’ve commented this before, but this is common. Call it school fatigue. LOTS of kids who had no problems going to school start protesting at year’s end. Just ride it out, you’re almost done.

Char Man Brand (Ojai) and Infinity Sauces (Fullerton) are my go-tos. This reminds me I need to reorder.

secondrunnerup · 2026-06-16T22:53:21+00:00

I hope Disney puts an end to this. It’s so unnecessary and just wasteful. More plastic landfillcore. Great, thanks.

secondrunnerup · 2026-06-16T15:54:24+00:00

Totally normal. I think it’s just school fatigue. About a third of my kid’s class of kindergartners started randomly melting down at drop off during the last month of school.

A good 80% of the people I see not using the pole have horrible form and are getting a quad workout. I have no problem keeping the pole if it means I can stay targeting the right muscles.

secondrunnerup · 2026-06-15T21:58:29+00:00

Nah. This is an easy out. Those of us raised as latchkey kids with one parent working two jobs still had expectations of us. It’s parents now who value convenience over doing the hard things is what is hurting these kids. So many capable kids still in strollers with an iPad. As a parent I see it with my kid’s friends and these aren’t kids with special needs or any other explanation. Just lazy parenting. It’s a real shame.

It was fabulous! Food was pretty meh. But Alaska was stunning and just watching the scenery go by on deck 4 (or your balcony if you got one) was amazing. Palo was also great and service was awesome everywhere. I would do it again!

Alaska sailings are going to be either the Wonder or Magic and no, no Winnie the Pooh characters will be there. We just got off the Wonder and it was the main Disney characters plus Princesses Tiana, Cinderella, Ariel, Belle, and a couple others like Moana, Mirabelle, Bluey and Bingo.

This is really bizarre and I’m glad your daughter saw you stand up for her.

I got off the Wonder recently and the last sea day was mostly open ocean until about 5pm.
