Life Jackets at Water Parks

[DancingBear]

Is there a good selection of sizes for the life vests at the water parks? Well-sized for a 5yo?

Can you bring your own? If so, do they have to have the Coast Guard certification?

Lifejackets are available for adults and children at all Walt Disney World Resorts and waters parks. A large selection of sizes is available.

My DD always used a Safe T. Seal at all the waterparks when she was younger. I like it a lot better than a life vest because they are less bulky around the neck. We bought them at Target & Wal Mart.
