PLASTIC GARBAGE BAGS
At the Grizzly River Run raft ride at DCA and Splash
Mountain in Disneyland Park, you are certain to get wet and possibly soaked. If it's
really hot and you don't care, then fine. But if it's cool or you're just not up for a
soaking, bring a large plastic trash bag or a cheap poncho to the park. By cutting holes
in the top and on the sides, you can fashion a sack poncho that will keep your clothes
from getting wet. On the raft ride, you will also get your feet wet. If you're not up
for walking around in squishing, soaked shoes, bring a second, smaller plastic bag to
wear over your feet while riding.
SUPPLIES FOR INFANTS AND TODDLERS
BASED ON RECOMMENDATIONS
from hundreds of Unofficial Guide readers, here's
what we suggest that you carry with you when touring with infants and toddlers:
• A disposable diaper for every hour you plan to be away from your hotel
• A cloth diaper or kitchen towel to put over your shoulder for burping
• Two receiving blankets: one to wrap the baby, one to lay the baby on or to
drape over you when you nurse
• Ointment for diaper rash
• A package of wipes
• Prepared formula in bottles if you are not breast-feeding
• A washable bib, baby spoon, and baby food if your infant is eating solids
• For toddlers, a small toy for comfort and to keep them occupied during at-
tractions
Baby-care centers at the theme parks will sell you just about anything that you
forget or run out of. Like all things Disney, prices will be higher than elsewhere, but
at least you won't need to detour to a drugstore in the middle of your touring day.
REMEMBERING
Your
TRIP
1.
Purchase a notebook for each child and spend time each evening recording the
day's events. If your children have trouble getting motivated or don't know what
to write about, start a discussion; otherwise, let them write or draw whatever they
want to remember from the day.
