Have you not seen what women's supposed "cargo shorts" look like lately? I'm still trying to replace my park pairs that actually fit a pass in them and zip. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Maverick44 7631 Posted February 5 Cargo shorts all day at parks. Gotta have zipper pocket. Sunglasses and phone and key go inside. I buy cheap sunglasses for parks just in case I squish them. 3 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I can’t justify the cost of a cellular plan right now. I used just the watch to swim at Great Wolf a couple of times and loved the convenience! 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
thatguyfromohio 1391 Posted February 6 Once the park WiFi is perfect, I’ll go full Apple Watch. I can’t justify the cost of a cellular plan right now. I used just the watch to swim at Great Wolf a couple of times and loved the convenience!It’s only $10 with my plan, but tbh I never use the cellular with my watch, I just keep my phone in a cargo pocket and keep it shut all day and use my watch. I’m at an amusement park to enjoy myself, so zoning out from the world is the best way.Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

jimlaheyscar 151 Posted February 6 I use a magnetic key holder and put my key under my car while at parks. Take a cellphone and small tube of sunscreen and I'm good. 3 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Meaning they can get rained on/ be in a wet pocket but not submerged. True they are water resistant when new. However, like a coaster that is 10 years old, usage and stresses may degrade performance over time. Plastic warps, seals become brittle etc., so the 10 year old fob you have been carrying around in your pocket daily may not be as water resistant as it once was. 2 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Enchanted Voyage Lover 1152 Posted February 6 I suggest cargo shorts as well. Also my quick fix is I pack a zip lock sandwich bag in my pocket for water rides, it does the trick cheap and easy. 6 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

We keep a box in the car, and carry about 3 each in the park. People in line for WW Canyon always see us wrap our phones and mention how smart that is, and we typically share the extras. 4 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

chad_1138 802 Posted February 6 My wife and I wear small running belts that hold our phones, keys, etc... Nice and thin, fit right under our shirts. Never any issues.
