A MAJOR A-list celebrity put on a disguise and turned up at Pacific Park to mingle with an unsuspecting crowd at the fairground.

The star is known for her long blonde tresses and huge personality – so would you still have known that it was her?

Sydney Sweeney dressed down in a white graphic t-shirt and denim skirt for the day out with her friend Jayde.

She kept her identity on the down-low by covering her hair up with a brunette wig that only just fell to her shoulders.

The star finished the look off with a pair of chic sunglasses and a white set of nails.

Sydney shared a series of snaps from the day out to her Instagram page after, showing her and Jayde having fun on a ferris wheel and in the arcades.

BUM’S THE WORD

Sydney Sweeney is ‘Top of the Bots’ …but who are the other celeb contenders?

Penned in the post’s caption, Sydney said: “when ur bestie shows up and says “here put this wig on””.

Fans loved the photos and how Sydney was able to have so much fun without being noticed.

One user said in the post’s comments section: “Great idea!!! This is what best friends are for.”

A second shared: “A couple of small town sisters on their big California vacation.”

A third added: “I didn’t even recognise her.”

The post comes shortly after Sydney has been slammed for posing naked in adverts for sports prediction platform, Novig.

In Syd’s latest Novig video, she posed topless with a pair of American footballs pressed to her chest and said: “There are grown men making spreadsheets to bet on what colour underwear I’m wearing. I mean, I’m flattered.”

The star also posed naked with balls, bats and racquets and said: “Think you know sport? Prove it.”

Critics are said to include models Kendall Jenner — half sister of Kim Kardashian — and Hailey Bieber, the daughter of actor Stephen Baldwin and married to superstar singer Justin.

DISNEY Cruise Line has just unveiled its newest ship – and it’s the company’s glitziest yet.

With themed dressing-up parties, glam stage shows and immersive dining experiences featuring much-loved characters, kids will love everything about Disney Believe.

But it’s not just the House of Mouse putting little ones at the forefront.

Many cruise lines are introducing activities, meals and entertainment options to keep youngsters happy – which means more downtime for Mum and Dad.

Here, Sophie Swietochowski shares her pick of the most child-friendly cruise ships for 2027.

DISNEY CRUISE LINE

LITTLE ones can just Let It Go on board Disney Believe, which is home to a sparkling Frozen-themed dining venue.

WAIL OF A TIME

I drove Irish Route 66 with deserted golden beaches and pirate-like islands

TEMPTED?

Tiny ‘Bali of Europe’ town with stunning beaches, €3 cocktails and £20 flights

Oaken’s Table: A Frozen Family Feast is more than just a restaurant.

Here, youngsters are surrounded by characters Oaken, Anna and Kristoff as they tuck into dinner with live singalongs and performances throughout.

The kids’ clubs here take things to new heights, and children will love checking out the first ever Encanto musical, too.

But parents are not forgotten about.

While teens are soaring on the ship’s water coaster AquaMouse, unleashing their inner Spider-Man at the Hero Zone or paddling in the Toy Story-themed splash zone, adults can knock back cocktails at Sea Notes — the Little Mermaid-inspired piano bar.

GO: The ship makes its debut in December next year. More info, including cruise packages, will be released on Monday next week. See disneycruise.com or call 0800 171 2317.

ROYAL CARIBBEAN CRUISES

ROYAL CARIBBEAN is renowned for its family-friendly offering, and has enough high-energy activities to keep rugrats happy for at least two weeks on the trot.

Freedom of the Seas, in particular, ranks highly for its adrenaline-pumping fun.

While tiny tots play with cannons and drench buckets in Splashaway Bay, teens can race each other on the Perfect Storm waterslides or unlock new surf skills on the FlowRider surf simulator.

On top of some excellent kids’ clubs, there’s laser tag, rock climbing, mini golf, an arcade and even an ice rink.

Pizzas, tacos and burgers will ensure they never go hungry, although the ice cream counter is sure to be the biggest hit — and it’s free for all cruisers.

GO: A five-night Northern Europe sailing is from £579.50pp for a family of four, departing from Southampton on August 17 next year. The cruise calls at Hamburg and Zeebrugge (for Bruges). Check out seascanner.co.uk.

P&O CRUISES

BUCKLE in for a thrilling ride on board P&O Cruises’ Arvia.

This ship has a properly immersive escape room that takes you well below sea on a fictional submarine.

Families will rely on interactive consoles, motion simulators and high-tech controls to succeed in their mission and retreat from the submarine safely.

Kids can reward themselves with a sundae from the gelateria afterwards but most of the time they’ll be itching to get to the youth club.

There is also the Altitude Zone with a high-ropes course, mini-golf and splash zone.

Families can also benefit from a Children’s Tea at the buffet.

It’s at 5pm daily so parents can get little ones fed before dropping them at the night nursery.

GO: A 14-night Spain and France sailing is from £1,049pp, based on a family of four sharing and departing Southampton on July 18 next year. Ships calls at Vigo, Malaga, Alicante, Toulon, Barcelona and Cadiz. See pocruises.com.

NORWEGIAN CRUISE LINE

AURA is the newest ship to grace Norwegian Cruise Lines’s fleet and definitely one for action-seekers.

Its thrill zone, Ocean Heights, is spread across three decks and features so many spine-tingling activities you won’t know where to start.

Along with rock climbing, a high-ropes course and funfair, there are three waterslides and a main pool deck with sea-view hot tubs.

Best of all, grown-ups with their eyes on the speciality dining can bag free meals for kids under the age of 12.

GO: A seven-night Eastern Caribbean sailing is from £907pp departing Miami on August 7 next year. Calls at Puerto Plata, St. Thomas, Tortola and Great Stirrup Cay, NCL’s private island. See iglucruise.com or call 020 3733 5557.

MSC CRUISES

THE highlight for children on MSC’s World Europa is the dry slide that drops 11 decks, making it the longest slide at sea and sending riders spinning down 240ft in a matter of seconds.

With Lego on board as official sponsor, children will have their fill of building-block games at the kids’ clubs, while teens can get stuck into video games.

The waterslides integrate virtual reality and project animations while riders whizz to the bottom.

The high-tech fun does not end there, either.

The ship also has a Formula 1 simulator, 5D interactive cinema and virtual reality arcades.

GO: A seven-night Western Mediterranean sailing is from £574pp based on a family of four sharing and departing from Civitavecchia in Italy on May 1, 2027. It calls at Palma de Mallorca, Barcelona, Marseille, Genoa and La Spezia. See msccruises.co.uk.

A MAJOR UK airport that sees millions of passengers through its doors each year could come to a complete halt this week.

A strike at Leeds Bradford Airport may mean that no flights will be able to land or depart across two days.

If it does go ahead as planned, then it will mean no flights will be able to land, depart and passengers won’t be able to pass security.

Nearly 130 workers are staging a walkout at Leeds Bradford Airport in a dispute over pay.

Those striking includes a mix of air traffic control workers, security, customer service and cleaners.

The industrial action is set to start on October 16 and last until 6am on Sunday 18.

There have been ongoing talks over pay since December 2025 but Unite members involved said it “didn’t go far enough”.

Unite regional officer Neil Whitaker said they had “no choice but to strike,” and what would be needed to call of the action is a “fair pay rise”.

In a statement from the airport, it said: “Leeds Bradford Airport acknowledges the proposed industrial action due to take place between 16-18 October involving a group of operational colleagues.

“We respect the right of employees to participate in lawful industrial action. However, we are disappointed by this and do not believe strike action is the right way to resolve the issues still under discussion.

“The airport has made what we believe is a fair and responsible offer that is significantly above inflation and reflects both current economic conditions and the need to ensure the long-term sustainability of the business.

“Our priority now is to minimise disruption for customers, many of whom have worked hard and saved for important holidays, family visits and business travel. At this stage we anticipate running near-normal operations during the period.”

“Leeds Bradford Airport plays a vital role in connecting Yorkshire to the world. Industrial action has the potential to cause inconvenience for thousands of customers and local businesses who rely on those connections.

“We remain committed to constructive dialogue with Unite and would welcome continued discussions aimed at reaching a resolution.

“It is important to recognise that any profits generated by Leeds Bradford Airport are reinvested back into the airport and has been for a number of years. Those funds support improvements to facilities, infrastructure, operations and customer experience including the ongoing LBA:REGEN project which saw the opening of a new central search zone and staff welfare facilities this week.”

The airport is predicted to handle 4.5million passengers this year, after undergoing a huge £100million terminal renovation last year.

The terminal was renovated with a modern arrivals process with 83 per cent more seating and two premium lounges.

Flight compensation rules

A look at your rights if a flight is delayed or cancelled, when your entitled to compensation and if your travel insurance can cover the costs.

What are my rights if my flight is cancelled or delayed?

Under UK law, airlines have to provide compensation if your flight arrives at its destination more than three hours late.

If you’re flying to or from the UK, your airline must let you choose a refund or an alternative flight.

You will be able to get your money back for the part of your ticket that you haven’t used yet.

So if you booked a return flight and the outbound leg is cancelled, you can get the full cost of the return ticket refunded.

But if travelling is essential, then your airline has to find you an alternative flight. This could even be with another airline.

When am I not entitled to compensation?

The airline doesn’t have to give you a refund if the flight was cancelled due to reasons beyond their control, such as extreme weather.

Disruptions caused by things like extreme weather, airport or air traffic control employee strikes or other ‘extraordinary circumstances’ are not eligible for compensation.

Some airlines may stretch the definition of “extraordinary circumstances” but you can challenge them through the aviation regulator the Civil Aviation Authority (CAA).

Will my insurance cover me if my flight is cancelled?

If you can’t claim compensation directly through the airline, your travel insurance may refund you.

Policies vary so you should check the small print, but a delay of eight to 12 hours will normally mean you qualify for some money from your insurer.

Remember to get written confirmation of your delay from the airport as your insurer will need proof.

If your flight is cancelled entirely, you’re unlikely to be covered by your insurance.
