How do you carry park tickets?

[JeremyGNJ]

I know for a lot of people this is irrelevant now. But I'm staying off-site and will not be buying MagicBands.

Other than a big ugly lanyard with a plastic case hanging from it....does anyone have any good ways to carry tickets without losing them easily?

In your wallet?

In your wallet?

...and my daughter?

I have a small case i bought from LL Bean that I wear around my neck. It had place for ID, money and Ccards as well as your park cards. I also have a small wallet type purse that will house my iPhone as well as the above mentioned articles. That is what i used this time. It had a wrist strap

Is she going to venture off without you? If she's young and won't be venturing off without you, you can carry it for her the same way you'd carry yours. If she's old enough and responsible enough, she can carry it herself in a secured pocket or however else she carries money.

There's nothing wrong with a lanyard either. Or get something like this and put it around a belt loop or arm: http://www.amazon.com/Armband-Badge-Holder-Black-Velcro/dp/B004XVTK94/

I always place mine in my wirstlet or mini hipster.

Over the years I had several different lanyards -- all but one being a Disney design. The one I currently have is tinkerbell, the fabric is soft and comfortable, the plastic "case" is just like a flat clear soft plastic that holds (or used to) our APs, or the "old" fastpasses, etc.
Not a problem to tuck it in a pocket of a shirt when I don't need it. Safe and secure and not going to fall off or get lost unless I'm mugged.

And for a number of years I had a small Vera Bradley pocketbook that was flat and I wore it what they call cross body now. DH put his in a zipper pocket in a lightweight vest he wore (similar to the ones the Disney photographers wore).

I keep mine in my iphone case. It's a wallet case, I keep my ID, 2 credit cards, pass, and some backup cash tucked away in there. It's great!

Fanny pack. Seriously. The only place I wear one or would ever wear one is Disney. Hold my passes, money, camera all in a waterproof pack. Leaves my hands free, and my stuff dry on the wet rides.

Lanyards don't have to be big and ugly. I've been using one for years, they made getting a ticket or credit card out much quicker than reaching for a wallet or into a backpack. I just bought two new ones for my upcoming trip at the Party City store. Mine is Woody and Buzz and my husband's is Cars. They are soft and we will wear some of our favorite pins on them too (I get the plastic cases at office supply stores). I paid about $2 each for them. Even with my magic band, I will want to carry my Disney Visa and my ID, and a little cash, and it will all fit in the lanyard.

I have an awesome skort I purchased from L.L. Bean about 8 years ago that has discreet zipper pockets, so I can keep our tickets there and they won't fall out even on a roller coaster. Yay zipper pockets!!!

I've just used my wallet or phone case. Have fun!

If she's old enough to go on her own, she probably has a wallet or phone case to stash it in. If not, you can carry hers too.

I've always just put my directly in my pockets. Easier to access for the FP machines in the past (I tended to just carry all the tix as the FP runner).

 

[DisneyLandMan]

I would love an alternative. I typically wear basketball shorts into the parks and it is very easy for something to fall out of the pockets of them. I usually have a lanyard around my neck but it isn't my ideal method of carrying anything.

 

[arthropodtodd]

Camera bag. I use to tuck mine (and the families) into my camera bag in one of the larger pockets inside. I would also keep a little cash, CC, and ID as well.

 

[dawnhaze]

I use a small lightweight lanyard similar to ones I've used for work ID cards. No plastic box necessary.

 

[Moonwolf]

I have a small wallet that I use on all my vacations to carry my ID, CC & a little emergency cash. It will usually go either in my bag or if I'm traveling really light and/or need to access it quickly it has a lanyard that I tie to my belt loops of my jean short and I keep it in my pocket. Girl pockets are notoriously small so the lanyard is a little extra security that it won't just fall out without me noticing.

I use a small zip lanyard with a clear pouch in the front for our trips to universal( disney we will use a magic band) .It hold my ticket, room key, express pass and club key.
