Visiting theme parks with children in Orlando is a magical journey for the entire family, especially for the little ones. 

Often, we get so excited about the fun that we forget small details that make all the difference for everyone’s safety and well-being. 

Safety should be a priority to ensure that everyone enjoys the experience to the fullest. Young children may not be able to express themselves as well as adults if they need to ask for help, especially with a language barrier if English is not your family’s first language. 

In this article, we will bring you essential tips to keep your children safe during your visit to Orlando’s theme parks. 

Stage 1 – Preparation 

Research and planning 

Before heading to Orlando, conduct detailed research on the parks you and your family plan to visit. 

Learn about the attractions, park maps, and rest areas. 

Plan your days based on the activities your children can enjoy and make sure to include regular breaks for rest and meals. 

Knowing the attractions suitable for your children’s age and height makes a total difference in optimizing your day out. 

Child identification 

One of the first safety measures is to ensure that your children are always identified. 

Consider using identification bracelets with your child’s name, your phone number, and any important medical information. This will help ensure that if they get lost, authorities can contact you quickly. 

You can prepare the identification bracelets and pack them ready in your suitcase to ease your day when you arrive in Orlando. 

Use of strollers 

Strollers are an excellent way to keep children safe and comfortable during the visit. 

Pre-renting the ideal stroller for your children will save you a lot of headaches during your trip. Always make sure to tag the stroller with your name and phone number, as in some parks you may park the stroller in designated areas before entering the attractions. 

By renting your stroller with StrollerCare, you will receive it as soon as you arrive in Orlando, properly identified to facilitate your trip. 

New, sanitized, and very comfortable strollers, with the assurance of hiring a reference company in the region.

Stage 2 – During the tour 

Basic safety rules 

Before entering the park, establish some basic safety rules with your children: 

• Set a safe meeting point in case someone gets lost. 
• Instruct children to look for a park employee, who is usually in uniform, if they need help. 
• Keep children always in sight and hold hands in crowded areas. 

You can also equip children with tracking devices such as AirTags to facilitate location. 

What to do in case of a lost child 

If a child gets lost, stay calm and react quickly. 

Immediately inform a park employee about the situation. Most parks have well-defined protocols for dealing with lost children, and employees are trained to assist. 

Stage 3 – Enjoying attractions safely 

Getting separated from the family is not the only safety concern when traveling to Orlando with young children. 

As we’ve discussed choosing the right attractions for your children, it’s important to emphasize that even in attractions designed for young children, constant supervision is crucial. 

Accompany your children on rides and make sure they understand how to behave safely, even if the ride seems harmless. 

Read the park rules 

Each theme park has its own safety rules. Make sure to read and follow all guidelines provided by the park, including height restrictions, staff instructions, and safety signage. 

Be prepared for emergencies 

Always be prepared for emergencies. Know the location of first aid stations in the park and have an action plan in case something happens. 

Staying calm and being well-informed can make all the difference in emergency situations.
