Your vacation is intended to be a fun-filled adventure for the family. To make sure it is all fun we have a few safety tips for you and your family.
- Have a designated meeting spot: In the event that someone gets lost or loses the group, have a predetermined meeting place for everyone to meet up again. It is always helpful to wear the same color and remember what each family member is wearing.
- ID information: For children, make sure they have some form of identification to include name, phone number, medical conditions, etc. Safety pin this information inside part of their clothing, include on an ID bracelet or write on their skin and cover in clear nail polish. This will help authorities and park staff reunite you with your children if lost.
- Pictures of family members: Take a picture of everyone in the morning before you head out to the park. This allows you to remember what everyone is wearing and gives you a current picture of each family member. Carrying current pictures in your wallet is also a good idea and backup plan in the event everyone is too excited to stand still for a picture.
- Identify Cast Members: Know and teach your children how to identify cast members and staff of Disneyland Park. Talk to them about going to a staff member in the event of an emergency or becoming lost so they know exactly what to do and feel comfortable in seeking help when necessary.
- Neck wallet: Fanny packs are old school but they come in handy and still seem to be a trend at Disneyland. Carrying your money, room and car keys, ID, etc. in either a fanny pack or a neck wallet keeps your valuables where you can see them. It prevents tempting hands of those pick pocketers.
As always, drink plenty of water and apply sunscreen frequently. Better safe than sorry and airing on the side of safety ensures an enjoyable and memorable trip!
