Worse than that, I keep on switching between my script sunglasses and regular glasses for inside. I carry a hard case in the pack.

I have sunglasses that have magnets and go over my normal ones.
I will tell you what not to do.Do not put them in a shirt pocket as my dh did.On expedition everest,he slid them in his front pocket.they slipped out,he bent over the whatever contraption holds you in( i cant recall if it was a bar across the lap or overhead shoulder bars),and promptly broke two ribs,2nd day of vacation-1st park we went to -3rd ride we rode.
Spent an afternoon with doctors,got some painkillers,which in turn made him stomach sick and he moped around the next day due to pain and nausia.Finally,i sat him down by the swiss family robinson tree house,got him a dole whip and took the kid through the tree house.For the rest of the trip(he didnt take the painkillers after the first day because they were making him to stomach sick)he avoided all the "big" rides,which he was not happy about.But,he still says it was the best vacation he ever took.Hows that for disney magic?

Terrible that happened!! Awesome he still had a great time! That sounds like something I would do if it wasn't for the fact that my sight is bad enough to where I'd be nauseated on the rides with my glasses off. I keep them on. Let your DH know I've ridden EE numerous times with my glasses on, which I recommend for a better view of the Yeti! Never had any issues with my glasses.

I wear contacts, but I had a strap for my sunglasses and never had a problem.
I didn't ride RnRC or TOT, but I did ride BTM and SM.
If all else fails, wear cargo shorts....they have tons of pockets.

Before my Lasik surgery, I always took off my glasses. When I was a kid, my mom made me, since I had extra prisms and stuff and if they were lost they would cost a fortune. I guess as an adult I was too afraid at the possibility of losing them. I would just stick them in my backpack or whatever.

I too, have had lasik (best money ever spent!), but when I was younger I hardly ever took my glasses off. I had extremely bad vision (almost legally blind) so without my glasses I couldn't see a thing. We live in Southeastern Michigan and frequently took trips to Cedar Point in Ohio. There they have huge roller coasters, and even then I usually left them on.
I think you will be ok leaving them on, except for maybe on RnRC, just because of the loop de loops. Maybe just get the strings for a little extra insurance. We'll be down in 5 days so maybe we'll see you there! I have a yellow WDWMagic Tshirt so maybe you'll recognize me! I hope you have fun on your vacay:wave:!

Usually, I just reach up and grab one stem if a ride takes a tight corner or loop...more out of habit than need, probably.
Not a big deal at Disney, because thrill rides are scarce. At a place like Six Flags, I find myself holding onto them a lot. :lol:

I know glasses can be expensive, but you should either carry a second pair or have your prescription with you at all times (they will give it back if you ask).
Also to those who wear contacts, always keep your glasses handy in case you lose a contact or, god forbid, develop a problem and you cannot wear them.

This is exactly what I do...I would never dream of riding some of the attractions without them. Truth is, you never even know they are there. It is worth the investment.
