"I don't know about your kids, but mine have no chill when it comes to waiting in line. For anything. Even when the pot of gold at the end of the proverbial theme park rainbow is a ride they've been dying to go on, they never really want to commit to the slow, boring march to get to the front of the line."
"Of course, long lines are simply the reality of visiting a popular theme park, and we don't all have the kind of budget that allows for Lightning Lanes and Express Passes for every ride. So, to help you make the most of your time on your next trip, I reached out to travel experts and theme park pros. The question I posed: What are your go-to tips for surviving long theme park lines with kids?"
"Arm yourself with a 'queue endurance kit' for your trip to the theme park: Be sure to pack a high-capacity power bank to ensure your phones and tablets do not die mid-game, bring nutrient-dense snacks to fend off energy drops, and stow pocket-sized diversions like a deck of cards or trivia mini-games." - Joe Cronin, travel expert and president of International Citizens Insurance"
Long lines are an unavoidable part of popular theme park visits and not every family can afford paid line-skipping options. Experts recommend preparing a queue kit that includes chargers, nutrient-dense snacks, and small entertainment items to prevent boredom and energy drops. Simple portable diversions like cards, trivia, scavenger hunts, fidget toys, and portable fans or parasols can improve comfort and engagement. Planning ahead with age-appropriate activities and essentials helps families make better use of waiting time, reduces whining, and keeps the day running more smoothly without extra expense.
