10 Ways To Have a Safe And Disaster-Free Disney Vacation
5. Proper Shoes They might not be your cutest pair, but reach for your comfortable, closed-toed shoes and your feet will thank you. Bloody stubbed toes may not exactly be a “disaster” but they certainly aren’t fun on a trip that requires so much walking. Also, at water parks shoes may not be required (like they are at all times in the regular parks) but water shoes may be a good choice. My four ye

6. Proper Bag When you’re having so much fun, it’s easy to get distracted and accidentally leave some of your belongings behind. While that may not end up being an all out disaster, it’s something to keep in mind. The best bag is a small cross body with all zipper closures, in my opinion. With a cross body bag you will rarely have to take it off while on rides and the zippers will keep all your lo

7. Mind the Cast Members Cast members that work crowd control have to be on their way to Disney sainthood, if you ask me. Theirs is a thankless job, but one that’s oh-so-important. One example – listen to the cast member on the tram for which side you need to exit. We’ve seen so many people get out on the wrong side and then try to sneak through the cars of the stopped tram. What if it start

8. Mind the Signs The majority of incident reports at theme parks involve sicknesses (some quite severe) following an attraction. That’s gotta be incredibly scary! Now obviously no one can predict with certainty whether or not a ride will aggravate serious symptoms. But if you have a history of illness consider checking the warning signs before boarding a ride. Better safe than sick. Also remember

9. Carry Backup Certain things cause disappointment if they are lost, others cause all out disaster. If you can, pack a backup of disaster-inducing items on the chance that the first one goes missing. Examples might include car keys, small kids’ loveys, and park tickets. (My son once lost his Magic Band on Thunder Mountain, but thankfully we averted disaster because we were carrying his ticket car

10. Secure Valuables Unfortunately thieves don’t take vacations, even when they’re on vacation apparently. There have been numerous cases of backpacks, tech gear, and even souvenirs stolen from strollers. Keep anything valuable with you at all times, and if you have to leave items at a stroller for practical purposes, be sure that they’re stowed away. Always lock your vehicle in the parking lot, a

1. Photos Of course you’re going to want to take lots of photos while you’re on vacation. But the most important photos may end up being the ones you take before you ever begin having fun. Snap a quick photo of all the members of your party in their park clothing first thing in the morning, especially children. If worse comes to worst and someone becomes separated from the group, you’ll have a up-

2. Phone Numbers Who actually knows phone numbers anymore? I literally cannot even tell you my husband’s number right now; I always just use voice dial. But if you lose your phone or it runs out of battery while your party is separated, you’ll wish you still had those 90’s era memorization skills. To thwart this kind of disaster, write the pertinent phone number on a bandaid and stick it under you

3. Meeting Spot Similarly, it’s a good idea to pick a physical meeting place with your group upon entering the park. Phones get lost, batteries die, plans get changed, people get separated. If you all know a rally point from the get-go, you can save some panic if any of those events happen.

4. Hands In When you hear “keep hands, feet, and arms inside the vehicle” on an attraction—do it! Those warnings are for your own good! I recently read about a child getting part of their finger severed on a boat ride because it got caught between the vehicle and the dock. I would say that’s a pretty big disaster on vacation.
