waterproof containers

[lovintigger]

Does anyone know where I can get one of those waterproof containers that your wear around your neck at the waterparks?

I got my first one at a boating supply place, my second one at a pool supply store and my third one at Walmart. All worked equally well, each had a different shape so you might want to shop around depending on what you want. The one from the boating supply place also floated, so it was more expensive (thinking $7 or 8) but it was all I had ever seen at the time. It was smallish, probably the size of a pack of cigarettes...a little larger than a credit card. The one I got at the pool supply place was around $5 and didn't really hold much, probably the size of a roll of quarters. The one I got from Walmart was the best size and best price. I probably purchased these 2 years apart with the Walmart one being the latest.

They all were attached to a string long enough to wear around the neck. Since I can't stand anything around my neck, I generally attached mine to a swim suit strap or belt loop.

Hope this helps.

DisneyMom92,
What department of Walmart should I look in? Thanks.

Got mine at Typhoon Lagoon, at the desk where you rent the lockers. They have 3 or 4 different kinds, including one which is the perfect size for a room card. They warned me they were only "water resistant" not "waterproof", but they sure seemed waterproof to me (even in the wave pool).

We order ours from www.orientaltrading.com

They come in the dozen are very inexpensive and since we have 4 kids, if one of them loses it...we always have another. Not to mention they are great for the pool!

They sell them at all the Disney Waterparks for $5.30, the bigger one is $6 plus tax. The cast members say they are water resistant, I have 3 of them and 2 seem to be waterproof - the other one gets a lot of water in it.
