Clothes

[Zman-ks]

If she has long hair, could you put a neon or special hairbow or ponytail holder and she could still wear princess clothes?

Thats a good idea!

We use huge hairbows and bright colored clothes too. Also, tacky as it may be, light up shoes in addition to packing glow necklaces for nights.

Also, take a picture of her each day before you leave the hotel. In case she gets lost, you can show that to a castmember so they can know exactly what she looks like and what she's wearing.

I highly suggest that you bring your own poncho/raingear - both for your children, and yourself. It's pretty difficult to spot someone in a sea of WDW ponchos! I have an extremely lightweight,neon purple totes raincoat that was easy for my kids (and husband) to find if we got separated.

Tying balloons to their wrist also works, can be pricey, but it's an option. You will be required to take the balloon off at each attraction, so that might be a problem.

for the safety part I can chime in that we do this. Its discrete and only our child knows the # is there and can give point to it to have the cast member call it which will ring our cell that is on us if we ever get separated. I think the bright hair bow or everyone wearing matching neon shirts is a cool idea to.

I love this thank you so much for posting that I would have never in my life thought of that!

Great thinking! I was planning on just buying some from disney, but it never even crossed my mind that every other kid in the world would have the exact some one on! I will be sure to add this to my packing list!

I would not let my kids wear ANYTHING with their name on it at an amusement park (or anywhere else, for that matter, but that's just me). No need to let strangers be able to approach them as though they KNOW them.

I also would be considered paranoid by many, but I don't let him go around with anything with his name on it. Mine is super friendly, and that makes me more paranoid.
I actually have considered getting one of those GPS watches I have seen in some children's catalogs. I know that if anyone snatches a kid, they could immediately take it off. But hopefully it acts as a deterrent for anyone just looking for an easy mark (shows a hyper vigilant parent I guess I think).

THIS!!! I thought about taking a photo so that I have a current one, but it never occurred to me to take one every day. Such a good idea! In addition, I have mine wear a hat any day we are out in the sun, so one with and one without hat would be best also.

Since so many people use bows, I prefer a large flower clip...I.e. big bright gerbera daisies. I do use bows too...take a pic at each outfit change, and use Safety Tats.

Chk out the disney store. They have some pretty bright stand out shirts.
