Planning a trip to Disney World?
Flying to Disney World
While you're dreaming of Cinderella Castle, DOLE Whips, and other treats, remember that flying to the Most Magical Place on Earth comes with its own challenges. From managing oversized souvenirs to keeping little ones happy, here's what airlines wish you'd stop doing (and what to do instead) for smooth travels.
Lightsabers and Other Galaxy's Edge Souvenirs
If you're taking a lightsaber from Savi's Workshop, check your airline's policies on oversized items. Some may allow carry-ons, while others might require checking it. Do some research to avoid surprises at the airport.
Remember those round Coca-Cola bottles from Galaxy's Edge? They’ve caused TSA issues due to their shape. Before packing souvenirs, verify the latest TSA rules to ensure nothing is left behind at security.
Check your airline’s website for specific baggage rules about unique items like lightsabers. If you're uncertain, it's safer to pack them in checked luggage.
Souvenir Balloons
Souvenir balloons are great for photos but can be a hassle on planes. Many Disney balloons can be deflated and inflated later. Ask a Disney cast member how to prepare it for travel, so it stays magical after your vacation.
Group Seating Chaos
Traveling with kids or a large group? Seating can be tricky. While airlines aim to seat families together, arrangements often finalize at booking. Waiting until check-in or boarding can cause stress.
Bring headphones, snacks, coloring books, or toys to keep kids entertained during the flight. A little planning ensures a happier journey in tight quarters.
Book early to secure seats together, consider early boarding for open-seating airlines, and ask a gate agent or flight attendant for help if needed.
Until then, keep checking DFB for more updates.
