I received the wristbands for our over 7 crowd. But since wristbands weren't required last year, does anyone know if kids 7 & under would still need one? I know they're admitted free as long as I have a ticket. But what about bands, is there an additional step I need to take to get something for them?

I did email, no response yet, and just trying to plan my trip and not get blindsided by rules I overlooked. Last year the littles just walked in with us.

I'm trying to do a relatively basic home speaker set up for my kids and can't. Maybe I misunderstood the capabilities, but this is what I want: two smart speakers to be installed in kid bedrooms and allow them to play music from their Spotify managed playlist, via voice command. I also want to utilize a simple bedtime routine to make it super easy: "amazon goodnight" and have it set an alarm for the next morning (same time every day), turn volume down, play from a pre-specified playlist for 40 min, shut off for the night. I don't want to be fumbling with Bluetooth connections to phones, and manually setting alarms. If I wanted that, I'd just use their cheapo Bluetooth speakers, an alarm clock, and their phones. I want no phones in bedrooms. I want each kid to play from their own playlist on their own Spotify family account, that they manage separately from their phones and have curated just how they like them. I don't want the speakers to hijack each other / my Spotify. Whyyyyyy doesn't this work?!

I had two echo show devices, an older 1st or 2nd Gen and the newest one. The newest is so wonky and never really worked great, so I switched to something else, which also stopped working for what I want, and so I'm back to Alexa and got two echo dot kids devices recently (so the newest version, I believe).

Issues I'm having:

Amazon kids won't do routines. But I did not set up an Amazon kids account, I specifically declined. Maybe I did it wrong. I also don't want explicit filtering for lyrics (don't come at me), and that part IS working, but Alexa says she cannot do routines on account of the kids profile, which is dropping F bombs in the music played so I don't actually think it's enabled.

Both/all speakers pull from MY Spotify account and I cannot get them to play different things independently. So kid 1 can go to bed and ask Alexa to play xyz playlist, it does. But then I cannot use my Spotify. And no other Alexa devices can either, or else it stops the bedroom speaker and moves it to the newly requested device (phone, Alexa, or otherwise). So when kid 2 goes to bed, it shuts off kid 1's music, and they just fight over who gets music and no one goes to bed.

Any help is much appreciated. I'm literally going mad over this. We are on our third set of "smart" speakers/home devices trying to set up what I thought was a super simple home set up and it just keeps failing.

Alright mammas, specifically moms of older kids, possibly seniors graduating, when everyone asks for "baby picture", what do they mean?

Like, an infant photo? All babies look like aliens. And low key, they all look the same, haha! Mine we oh so much cuter around age 1-2. But for the purpose of all these nostalgia grabs and graduation celebrations, milestones, etc., what do people generally want when they say, "send a cute baby photo of your athlete"
