I was talking to a good friend of mine about this, and she told me that when she visits places like Silver Dollar City with her kids (4 years and 1 year) that she places a piece of paper with her name and cell phone number in her 4-year-old daughter's pocket. She has explained to her daughter that if they get separated she should find the nearest employee in costume and hand him or her the slip of paper. This makes her feel more confident that in the event that her child does become lost their reunion will be that much quicker.
I also know as a long time visitor of Silver Dollar City that they place the highest priority on guest's safety at the park. I feel confident that the employees are well trained to reunite me with my daughter should we become separated when visiting the park. Though, I think the next time we visit I will try my friend's trick, just to be extra careful.

Hello! I'm new to the blog and am planning on taking my family to our first vacation to Silver Dollar City next year. I just wanted to say thank you for sharing this idea because I think it is brilliant and I will definitely be putting it into action for the trip. |

i have had the horror of losing my son (11)at silver dollar city .. we had come out of the flooded mine and he disapeared he got turned around in the crowd.. we found a worker that just happen to be the head of security and it wasn't 5 min and they had found him. i couldn't believe the team work it was like a S.W.A.T. team caring out an assingment.we now have a meeting spot if we get seperated. |

A friend of mine has 3 boys & she has taken a Sharpie & written their cell phone number on the boys hand or arm. This will not come off when it gets wet & stays on for a couple of days. |

I've got two boys and am paranoid about losing them in a large crowd. For a vacation to Disney World a couple of years ago, I had custom t-shirts made for about $7/shirt (shirt cost & printing) that had "If lost, call *******" on the front, upper left side -- with my cell phone number printed on the shirt. We continue to use these anytime we go somewhere, like SDC, that will be crowded. In addition, we (myself, Dad, and kids) also color coordinate our shirts. It is now very easy to remember what the kids are wearing b/c I just have to look at myself to remember. Makes it much easier to spot them in a crowd. |
