Any tips for occupying a toddler on ride lines?

Walk really slow... found that as long as my GS (3) was moving he was fine, so we just walked slow and the line kept moving so we took very small steps.

I echo others that the waits were minimal with planning and there was lots of look at. We did have a princess play cell phone that was a great distraction in line. We would pretend the character from the ride was calling them and telling them about the fun they were to have on the ride.

Great ideas here! How about postcards? Bring 1 or 2 each day, with a small sheet of stickers and make a postcard for Grandma or a cousin or a neighbor. Just a hi, we're in line for x, having a great time! and stickers. Or bring a mini box of crayons and have your ds draw a picture. And bring preprinted address labels so you don't have to bring an address book.

I agree snacks and fastpasses. There were also 3 adults so if it was a long line (especially for characters), one person waited in line until it was almost our turn.

We've never had to do this type of waiting with my DS before so I am looking for some good ideas for ride lines next week. I was thinking stickers, bubbles, playdoh,,, that's all I've got!

color wonder books by Crayola. It only writes on the" Magic" paper. Or a small size etch a sketch.

Your ds will probably be surrounded by other little ones, and that will be all the entertainment he'll need. Its such a magical place with small kids, that I bet you'll find he even enjoys waiting in line, really. I agree with the above poster, fastpass, arrive early, and do a lot of planning, you'll then have little waits. Have a super time.
