How to keep your young children happy

First of all have snacks and drinks available at all times. I carry snacks in my backpack so that when we are waiting in line they are on hand.
Second, have a plan for waiting in line. Have something to distract them in line. Bubbles are a fun distraction and get everyone around you happy because it distracts their children too! You can also play games in line like I spy, or "Guess what Disney character I am." We love to talk about the ride and what our favorite part is. We also try to find something new on the ride each time we ride it.
Third, recognize that tired children are grumpy children! Don't be afraid to leave to park for a nap. Or if you prefer, ride the train the whole way around the park a few times. You can rest while seeing the park.
Last, have fun! Please be kind to your children and don't yell at them. It is the Happiest Place on Earth!
