Thursday's Tip

I have mentioned in several posts that I strongly recommend using a stroller for any children under five at Walt Disney World (my nearly-seven-year-old still hops in whenever she can!). Whether you're using your own stroller or renting one of the posh WDW ones (and they are pretty awesome, I must say, but expensive), you don't want to come off a crowded ride or attraction and have to sort through the dozens of others to find yours.

In the past, I have recommended tying a bandana, scarf, or other object to your stroller to make it easier to find. This works great during daytime hours. But what about when it's dark? (I'm thinking particularly of the night we left Fantasmic as the park was closing, and we had to search for our relocated stroller in a not-so-well-lit area.) Here's a great Thursday's Tip: attach glow bracelets, or even a book light, to your stroller! The glow bracelets are super cheap ($1 for a whole package), and well worth every penny in this situation. The advantage to a book light is that it can act as a headlight for your stroller as you exit. [And here's a bonus tip: don't do this to a rental stroller during the final Fantasmic of the night, as they ask you to remove all items from the WDW strollers and they return them to the rental area for you.
