I posted this in another thread then decided it could stand on its own. I'm not saying what you should do, that's your business. Just saying what works for us.
We quit taking phones into the parks several years ago. You would be amazed how much better the day is without a phone. Don't even carry a camera some days, just tickets, car keys and wallet. Then we knowingly smile at each other when we see people wasting their day yakking on a phone while lugging around a backpack filled with who knows what while seeing WDW on a tiny screen on the back of their cameras. To each his own. Hands free, carefree and spur of the moment has become the best discovery my wife and I have ever made about the parks.
