Tips for carrying KTTW cards???

[hannahon]

Hey there!!! I'm sure this has been answered somewhere, but my search has come up short. So, how does everyone deal with the issue of carrying your KTTW cards??? It will be myself, DH, DS7, DS4, DD1 and my parents. Any tips or advice would be greatly appreciated!!!! thanks!!!!

I carry a small bag with valuables. It is small enough that it doesn't bother me but big enough to carry a few things. I have the Overland Equipment Placer, and it has a zipper pocket on one of the flaps where I carry money, KTTW cards, id, etc. I carry my cell phone and a small camera in it, too. I bought it for Disney, but I have used it on day outings and other vacations. Because it is small and comfortable, I can wear it across my body and keep it on me at all times (rides, even at restaurants).

We used a larger bag for non-valuables (kid-related supplies) and hung that on the stroller.

Or you could just have DH keep the KTTW cards in his wallet.

We bought a water wallet that you wear around your neck. My husband wears it and has the KTTW cards, some cash and a credit card in it. That way we are always sure to have it with us and safe.

We also carry a small bag with camera, camcorder, autograph book, maps and plans, and any other can't lose essentials.

We leave a larger bag with non-valuable non-essentials such as raingear, coats, etc on the stroller.

Have fun!

Ziploc ID holders from Wal-Mart -- they sell them for about a buck in the wallets area. Each one has an inside and outside pocket, perfect for holding the KTTW *and* your FastPasses.

I went and got bright shoelaces and toggles and made each person a different colored lanyard with the holder on the end. Our rule is that NO ONE leaves the room without KTTW showing on the lanyard -- that way we're sure that no one has forgotten or lost it. Easy enough to tuck it inside your shirt while on rides, etc.

The young children's room keys are just room keys, no admissions, so no big deal if they lose them. However, with the cell phone number on them they make good id's on a lanyard.

I use a sharpie to mark our keys with our cell phone number, and also how many admissions are on them. As each day is used I mark it off with the sharpie, because we normally have non-expiring hoppers with pluses.

I second these from WalMart(in the watch section) but make sure you get the ones that sit/open horizontally(so the "zipper" is on the top and the cards don't fall out when you open it. I was afraid with the vertical ones, that the cards or passes would slip out as you were getting your FP in/out. We just had all 4 cards and any FP we had in one that either me or DH had on our neck.

We use ID/badge holders and attach them to a lanyard or to a clip (just like you would wear a work ID.) If using the clip, I put the card(s) in my pocket and attached the clip securely to the pocket or waist of my pants.

I get the holders, clips, lanyards in the office supply section at Walmart or at Office Max. They come in packs of like 20 for just a few bucks. I usually attache 2 or 3 of the clear plastic holders so that my KTTW, AP, drivers license each have their own holder. That way when I pull one out the others don't come flying out with it.

Just looked up that bag and LOVE IT, thanks for mentioning it.

Are your park passes on the keys? If not than the kids don't need theirs. The adults should each carry their own. We have AP's so DH usually holds those since if I did they would get lost. How about for the kids you punch a hole in it and put it on a lanyard? That's what we did with DS cruise card last time we cruised.
