TIPS FOR THEME PARK HONEYMOONS

BEFORE YOUR TRIP

  • Arrange care for your pets well ahead of time, complete with instructions, to minimize your stress. Don't leave it to the last-minute!
  • Check your airline's luggage weight restrictions and per bag limits before you pack. Then weigh your packed bags—and repack if you need to.
  • Make sure your carry-on baggage fits within the TSA's size guidelines.
  • When changing time zones, resist napping once you land—it'll throw off your internal clock. Jump right into your day, staying up until bedtime in your new time zone.
