Here are some ideas for entertaining your kids while waiting
in long lines:
- Look for Hidden Mickeys (there is a book all about these as well as some guide books that list them)
- Read the park map together and talk about your favorite rides and what you want to do next. Pick up a lot of copies on your way into the park each morning. You will lose a few and they will get wrinkled and gross. I also grabbed a couple on my way out to keep as souvenirs.
- Watch vacation videos saved on your phone. Be careful with this though as you will be also using your phone a lot to access the My Disney Experience App and your battery will be drained by dinnertime.
- Stickers! This is a great way to distract young kids, and they are cheap, light, and take up hardly any space. Bring some from home to avoid the high costs at the gift shops.
- Snacks are always a great distraction. Bring some from home that won’t melt or get smashed. An added bonus is if they take a long time to eat. For example, if you have a bag of pretzels, you can hand out one at a time rather than giving them the bag to hold. Make them answer math or phonics questions to earn a pretzel each time, or answer fun Disney trivia questions.
- Play games like I Spy and Simon Says.
