Tomorrow starts the week and half trip to Disney/Universal/Sea World. Thanks for all the advice you guys gave a couple of months ago. Quick question...

Do any of you wear your glasses on roller coasters and/or amusement rides? When I was younger, I would put my glasses in a case in my pocket each time I rode but would rather not have to do that this time. I just know it’d be my luck they’d go flying off during the ride, and not sure a neck strap would help.

Thanks for the help and any last minute tips/tricks/advice are always appreciated. We’re excited and are hoping for safe travel, a lot of fun, and great memories.

I wasn't going to put my glasses in my pocket, I'd make sure to wear a pair of glasses I wouldn't mind losing.

These cinch down and stay pretty tight when you want them to. I use them on the water.

May look goofy with regular glasses but you'll have time in line to put them on right before each ride I'm sure.

Any rides that went upside down or had water involved were rides where i took my oldest kid's glasses. She would get annoyed, but I told her not having them for 3 minutes is better than not having them for the week. Thinking back, it was only a few rides- splash mountain, the Everest rollercoaster, and maybe one other ride.
That place just doesnt have a ton of upsidedown rollercoasters.

Might look kinda goofy, but you could put goggles on over your glasses. Nobody's going to know who you are anyway.

The front early next week will be worse than this one, pretty close to the cold spell we had last week. It'll take a day or two to reach Orlando (if it does), but it could be quite chilly down there as well ... probably warmer than what's "normal" up here.

I don’t wear glasses but when I’ve had shades on, I’ve always just put them on. Your ears will hold them in place. I’ve ridden several roller coasters while wearing my shades as I would if I were sitting on the beach.
