Post all SW questions concerns, etc. here...

Question - can I put sunscreen in my checked baggage? The spray bottle ones. How about dry shampoo - also a spray bottle or aerosol. I think maybe like 7-10 oz cans

ETA- looks like I can bring them in checked bags

I've had aerosol sunscreen in both my checked bag and my carryon and never had an issue. You're not supposed to have the aerosol in carryon, but I missed it and so did TSA.

Yes, those should be fine in checked baggage; I did in April for our trip. I would put them in ziplocs in case they somehow get sprayed in your bag.

You're allowed the aerosol in carry on as long as it fits the 3-1-1 rule.

Related to your question...many WDW guests are unaware that they are not allowed to bring aerosol cans into the parks. I have seen a number of people have aerosol sprays confiscated by security. I wonder, though, if new security procedures may have changed that.

There is nothing quite like the experience of having to buy a necessity at one of the Disney stores, at about 3x the cost of what you would pay off-property. One time, sunscreen was left behind in our hotel room; the price for it at the Emporium produced sticker shock!

Yeah, this one most definitely didn't fit that criteria. It was a Sam's Club size spray, 9oz, probably 10 inches by 2.5. Got to my hotel in Viera and couldn't believe it got missed by both me and TSA.

I’m not finding that in WDW prohibited items list.

Yes, we’ve taken big aerosol cans of sunscreen in full sight in the basket of an ecv and weren’t stopped.

There must have been a change. I will never forget the reaction of the man whose aerosol sunscreen was confiscated. He was not a happy camper. The last time I saw that happen was a number of years ago.

I look every day to see if our flights have gone down in points. Has it always said the number of points AND the +$ amount?

That just means you’ve already paid the $5.60 fee and don’t need to pay it again.

Ok, thanks. For some reason that looked different today. I might need more coffee.

Last week’s change banners for the last couple of days in October disappeared today. Now, we will have to keep a lookout for November.

Planning on emailing Disney about the aerosol can. I also have brought it in the parks in the past.

My experience with an aerosol can being confiscated was a number of years ago. It looks like it's no longer a problem. I assumed it was sunscreen, but I was not close enough to know for sure what it was, just that the security CM said that it was not allowed.

Ever wonder why Southwest F/As are always pushing pax to hurry up and find an open seat?

I don't have to wonder; I know. That amazingly brief and efficient turn time is what allows SWA to remain the only consistently profitable airline in the US. Sitting at gates costs a fortune in lost revenue. SWA can normally fit at least 1 extra flight segment per day into each route thanks to having the most efficient turn process in the airline business.

Can anyone tell me how the 4 upgraded boardings with the priority card works with a CP?

OOHH..Im very interested in this too - apparently I don't read the benefits of CP and my SW Rewards card and JUST found out that we get 4 "free" upgrades a year and I had no idea..

I did this for the first time back in March. I had checked in as normal @ 24 hour mark. We got a late B boarding number. When I was at the airport I went to the gate, asked if they had availability to upgrade my boarding, I paid for it w my SW card, and then the charge was refunded on my statement. It was very easy!

Anyone else having an issue where you can see that the points value for your flight went down but when you go to "change" your flight, its showing up as +0 instead of a negative value to get some points back.
