As I am sitting at the airport, I decided to write this post about a rookie mistake I made today. I am heading on a trip and remembered to package my "day bag". Since most hotels at Disney World and Orlando have check in after 3 PM, guests tend to arrive to DisneyResorts, before you are able to get into your luggage. So, I was organized and packed by "day bag".
In my "day bag," I packed a very important essential for any sunny destination - sunblock. Of course, I just grabbed the big bottle and totally forgot about security rules. As I walked through the security check point at the airport, my bag got searched and the nice security guard pulled out my brand new container of sunblock and tossed it into the trash. AHHH! As a travel agent, I should have remembered the rule.
For carry on bags, your sunblock has to be under 3 ounces. So, when I get to my destination I will have to buy another brand new container of sunblock. When packing for your Disney World vacation, be sure you pack your big container of sunblock in your checked bag. For your "day bag" for the first day at the Disney Theme Parks, be sure you pack a small container of sunblock. It is sunny Florida and you will need it - just be sure you pack the right size to get through security!

And be sure to have them in ziploc baggies so they don’t squirt all over everything!
Thanks for the “day bag” reminder.
