Question

What documents are necessary for travel to Aruba?

Answer

The ED Card is your approval from Aurba's immigration authority to enter the country Your ED Card is REQUIRED for island entry, and needs to be completed no earlier than 6 days prior to your flight As of July 1st, Aruba charges a $20 Sustainability Fee for ED Cards for visitors arriving by air to the island. The card is MANDATORY, and can be completed here: https://edcardaruba.aw/

Question

Do we need to exchange money, bring special plugs, etc., to Aruba?

Answer

No! Aruba is very American-friendly. There is no need to pack special outlet converters or plugs. Everyone speaks English fluently, and almost everywhere accepts USDs for payment (and the places that don't generally accept Visa or Mastercard; there are a lot of places that also accept AmEx, although it's not quite as popular on the island) The two major things you need for travel to/from Aruba are your passport, and your ED Card (see above question for the link)

Question

Is there a dress code for the wedding ceremony?

Answer

Beach Casual All festivities will be on the beach (unless there is a rare occurrence of rain); plan to be walking on sand and to be wearing lightweight, breathable fabrics Women should opt for a simple sundress, breezy maxi dress, or high-quality romper. And while dressy sandals are acceptable, avoid standard, beachwear flip-flops Men should choose nice, short sleeved shirts (such as polos or short sleeved button downs), as well as nice shorts (think Chinos) with a belt Avoid heavier fabric items denim and cargo, casual items like swim shorts and cotton t-shirts, as well as casual footwear like sneakers and generic flip flops

Question

Is the wedding kid-friendly?

Answer

Yes! The resort itself is very family-friendly, as well. There is a dedicated kiddie pool, kids' club, and kid-friendly shows/entertainment That said, please note that adult pricing applies to anyone over the age of 12. Please contact Traveland for questions about pricing for 12 & under

Question

It's time to leave! Anything we need to know?

Answer

Yes - you will go through US Customs while in the Aruba airport, so you need more time than you typically expect. Most days, plan to arrive at the airport 3 to 3.5 hours ahead of your flight On Saturdays, plan to be there 4 hours ahead of time The silver lining is that you will not be waiting to go through Customs once you arrive back in the US. You will disembark like a normal domestic flight
