Last-Minute Questions Before Trip! (FP+/Food/Airfare/Etc.)

[AliceandAriel]

Right before every trip, I usually come up with a few last-minute questions that I never seem to have the answer to. Any help?

1- For people who have flown; do you have to check bags with powders and medicine in them? I'm taking a daily stomach sensitivity powder that goes into my drinks. It looks like baby formula, to be honest. (Not the point.) Will I be able to go through security with it and keep that in my carry-on, or should I just check my bag and eat the $25 fee? I will be taking other medicine, as well such as aspirin, airborne, and other things. Nothing is a gel or liquid.

2- What about bringing food back home from WDW (like cupcakes, boxed items like dry pasta, cookies, etc.)? Can I take those via carry-on, or do they have to be checked, too?

3- All FP- kiosks are covered, correct? How is the current SB times for;
- TSMM, RnRc in DHS?
- SM, PPF in MK?
- Soarin in Epcot?
- Everest, Dinosaur in DAK?
It'll help figure out which FP spots I want to book.

4- Anna/Elsa line updates on times?

5- Ticket related question; I've bought tickets from Orbitz. Learned that, in the future, if FD is offered, when I book I have to buy minimum 2-day tickets with the room booking. Can I *add* those 2-day tickets to a ticket currently in use (so say I buy 2-day tickets from Disney, and have a 3-day ticket from Orbitz. Can I go to Guest Relations and "combine" them together to read a 5-day ticket?)

6- How can I get from AoA to the Poly for a 7:30AM ressie to Ohana? (Assuming I can land one, lol.)

And I guess my only other thought is- is there anything I need to know before I go again? It's my fourth trip, but my first solo, so I'm trying to cover all my bases before the flight. TIA!

1. I've never had a problem carrying on powders or other non-liquid medication.

2. Baked goods should be fine as long as they don't have any filling. Even filled ones are probably fine.

3. No idea

4. No idea

5. You cannot combine tickets. You can use a ticket you already have to go towards the purchase of a more expensive ticket, but you can only use one ticket you already have in this process, you cannot combine 2 or more.

6. They usually have Character Meal buses that start running before the regular park buses. I'm not sure if they'll drop you at the Poly, or if you'd have to go to one of the parks first.
A cab would be the easier.

Thank you. I think more than anything I'm worried about the powders and trying to get through security- last thing I need is to panic on a solo trip. My parents don't think it'll be an issue, just to tell them what it is if they ask. It's not like I'll freak if they want to go through my bag in detail.

To #2, sweet. Literally. LOL. The family loves cupcakes, and I keep showing them pictures on here. Curse you DIS for ravaging my family's sweet teeth! I'm hoping to bring home two, maybe three, and then grab some goofy co. candy and chip and dale snacks to hold me over until next trip. I still have two squares of mickey chocolate from october for emergencies!

Boo to the ticket question on #5, but I get it.

And for #6, double thank you. I'll ask desk at check-in about it for double confirmation, and weigh options on spending the $$$ on a cab. Even if I did take a cab, shouldn't be more than $20, correct?

If you are really worried ou can go here and type in powder medicine in the "can I bring my ______" box. It looks like it is ok in carry-ons.
