As much as everyone hopes for their trip to run smoothly, you can prepare yourself for any problems you may have!

Keep receipts for any souvenirs you buy in the parks – if anything gets broken during your stay, they’ll replace it.
As soon as you get your park tickets/magic bands, take photos of them making sure to get all the important information in the shot. This way if anything gets lost, cast members can help you more easily.
If you’re carrying a phone in the parks, set your lock screen with an image of your name, resort/room number and another contact number in case you lose it.
Take pictures of your kids every morning. Its great for documenting your trip, and you’ll be able to find them better in crowds if you can remember what they’re wearing!
Prepare your children for getting lost – make sure they know what to do if they ever get separated from you. Label them with a contact number, have a designated ‘lost spot’ to wait, and tell them to find cast members.
Stock your bag with plasters for blisters and minor scrapes, and don’t forget each park has a first aid center with cast members happy to assist with anything.
Bring spare camera batteries and memory cards, and store them in a waterproof compartment.

Love your ideas! I’ve also seen parents create temporary tattoos for kids with all of their contact information in case they get lost and also tags for their clothing! While working for the mouse in merchandise we had several “lost parents” and anytime a child is found they are typically taken to the baby care centers in the parks! 🙂
