What happens if you don’t help your children wait
patiently in a queue? Quite a lot. At worst, your child
will start to scream, whine, grizzle and throw a
tantrum.

This is miserable for the child, irritating for those
around you, and miserable, irritating and embarrassing
for you. If your child is more compliant,

he or she might try getting up to tricks while you’re not
looking (and the City Mini baby strollers in our
Disney rental stroller fleet have a handy see-through panel so you can keep an eye on your child while they’re in the stroller.

Tricks might include tinkering with the safety harness to see if they can
get it undone (rather tricky in the City Mini, thank
goodness) or pulling off removable bits of clothing
and chucking them into obscure corners,

leaving your child barefoot and minus that hat you had
counted on to keep them safe from the strong Orlando sunshine.

The trick to helping your child be patient is to give
them something to do while they’re waiting. Ideally, these pastimes (derived from “pass-times” so a good word to use in this context) should be of the
sort that a child can do solo so you can take photos and
upload them to your Facebook page as you wish.

Nursery rhymes and finger games are often popular,
even if this does mean you have to abandon a little bit
of grown-up dignity and squat down beside your Disney rental stroller to sing with your child and teach him/her how the
actions toIncy Wincy Spider.

Not that you will be losing much dignity – most people
who notice will probably think that you’re being a great parent and admire
you rather than otherwise.

Food is another great way to help your child while
away the time in the queue, and this doesn’t require too much of your input, apart
from providing the snack or drink.

Having a chiller pack as an accessory with your Disney rental stroller helps here,
as it makes a good place to put the drinks when they’re
not needed so they stay cool, especially if you put an icepack in the chiller
pack.

For your child’s sake, it’s best to make sure that
these snacks and drinks are lower in sugar content, as a glucose high will probably make your child even more prone to being impatient.

Water is a good drink (and won’t go all sticky if spilt), and dried fruit, crackers, crisps, cookies and fresh fruit are good snacks that
(sneaky thought) can take a bit of time to eat

A small box of raisins is quite good, as little fingers take some time to fish all
those raisins out of the box and the empty box can be
played with later.And remember – the queue
will get shorter and eventually you will be able
to get on that ride!
