Waterproof Lanyards?

[donna in Oz]

I'm thinking that I read on these boards that you could get waterproof lanyards for your park passes. Can you buy these only at the water parks?

Anyone ever seen them locally?

We picked ours up at Typhoone lagoon and Blizzard Beach. Sorry.

You can call the mail order number for WDW and order one from TL or BB if you want.

Not sure if this is what you are looking for, but the DIS has a water wallet you can buy from them.

That's exactly the kind of thing I got from TL and BB.

stacy6552 - Are they truly "waterproof"?

I got one on a cruise last year and it really is waterproof.

it worked in the wave pool at TL!

You can also use a little ziploc plastic fishing license holder or ID holder. These are available at sporting goods stores and places like Wal-Mart for about $1 each. These are flat and less bulky than the canister type, if you only want a lanyard for passes.

The ones from Wal-Mart will sometimes get a little leakage if you fully immerse them, because of the position of the string holes.
The best thing about theirs, though, is an extra outer sleeve that will hold a FP.

If you want REALLY waterproof, or a larger wallet, REI has a large selection: http://www.rei.com/online/store/Search?storeId=8000&query=*&cat=4501504

We got our first one at a boating supply store. Cost us a lot less than any other place I have seen them sold.

They are waterproof.

The one we bought at BB was the same, but with the BB logo. Sadly, the BB logo came off during the first and only day there.

put some cash and our cards into a ziplock baggie inside it. My money was drenched both waterpark days! I even changed to a different baggie the 2nd time and still got leaks.

p.s. - be sure to take enough money with you for buying photos. They had photographers standing in lazy river at both parks. Also saw one at the iceberg thing in the pre-teen section at BB, but he didn't make a pic of my DD. I don't know if he didn't because I was there in the water making some of my own?
I didn't get the lazy river pic of my DD at TL because we were heading over to BB next and couldn't take it with me and they didn't do delivery to resorts. I thought I'd just get one at BB. Then DD decides she's had enough water for one day, so we didn't go. Then on Friday, we ate lunch at the resort before boarding the bus to BB, so I didn't take as much money as before. Once we bought a $4 funnel cake, I didn't have enough left for the photo and it was SO good. Boo hoo!

We received a free passholder lanyard at AK a few years ago, and attached to it was a plastic ziploc-type holder for our annual passes. It is waterproof enough for me, but I am not a big swimmer. I get in the pool, and do the family raft ride and a few others at BB and TL, but I rarely swim as much as my kids do. Unfortunately, I have over-stuffed my small holder to the point that I will definitely need a new one soon, and I haven't found any that are the same dimensions, although I really liked the inexpensive ones on the REI website. They would definitely work, and I have heard that Wal-mart sells similar ones, but I have never seen them there. The bigger cases seemed a little bulky to me.
