http://www.raisingbakersfield.com/home/Blog/bushelandapeck/29491 In December we're taking another trip to Disneyland.&nbsp; We can't get enough, and this time we're going with the kiddo's prince (they got &quot;married&quot; a couple of months ago).&nbsp; Now the Prince's mom is very efficient, thinks of everything ahead of time, and has a plan to avert any possible mishap.&nbsp; Last time she took her boys to Disneyland (her sister and kids went, too), she ordered brightly colored matching tie dyed t-shirts for all the kids so she could easily spot them in a large crowd.&nbsp; I appreciate the thought and planning she put into the hippie shirts idea, but when we go in December, our kiddo isn't wearing a shirt that competes with the neon factor of a county worker's uniform. So, I started thinking about what I can do to keep our kiddo safe.&nbsp; You see, when we've gone to D-land before, the kiddo rode in the stroller most of the time.&nbsp;Hence, we didn't have to worry about her running off.&nbsp; And I know she's a smart kid, and she probably wouldn't do anything like that; but a kid is a kid, and sometimes there is a character, a ride, a balloon, a something-so-appealing-it-can't-be-resisted, and a child goes after it without a second thought of checking with mom or dad.&nbsp; With all this in mind, I was beyond delighted when a friend sent me this link for Safety Tats.&nbsp; What a simple yet brilliant idea!&nbsp; The safety tattoos are like the character ones kids wear now, but the tattoo is that of the&nbsp;parent's cell phone number and a message that says, &quot;If Lost, Please Call . . ..&quot;&nbsp;&nbsp; I do wonder about how long it will last (company states the tattoos last 1-5 days), but I figure for $20, it's worth a shot.&nbsp; My other option is to use a permanent marker on the kiddo or on her clothes.&nbsp; I liked the tattoo idea better.

I love it and 20 bucks is completely worth it to have your child safe :)</p> <p>As far as planning, I was a little neurotic the first time we took my then 4 year old to Disneyland. Since we only had one day, I wanted to make sure we did as much as possible.  I went online ahead of time, found out which rides he was big enough to ride, organized them in categories depending on what "land" they were in and also had a list of shows and times.  That way we weren't going from place to place because we forgot something, or having to look all over for signs to check and see if he was tall enough.  I had our trusty little sheet of paper with us all day, and although it sounds like I had completely taken ALL the fun out of it, it was actually really helpful :)</p> http://www.raisingbakersfield.com/home/Blog/bushelandapeck/29491/#c_268871 http://www.raisingbakersfield.com/home/Blog/bushelandapeck/29491/#c_268871 <p>What a fantastic idea!!

Our first non stroller trip to Dland I bought luggage tags and filled them out with our info and hooked em to my kids' belt loops. And we do ALOT of stranger danger grilling and pointing out the workers too.</p> http://www.raisingbakersfield.com/home/Blog/bushelandapeck/29491/#c_268878 http://www.raisingbakersfield.com/home/Blog/bushelandapeck/29491/#c_268878 <p>Those are super cool!
