I am looking for ideas on how to keep my money secure at the park. I will be carrying a purse but do not want to leave all my money just in my purse on the rides that have unsecured storage bins for your loose items. Should I only keep part of it in my purse and the rest in a locker? Or should I buy a thing to hide under my clothes to wear the most of my money and then keep only a little in my purse? What would you do?

Maybe a wrist wallet would work? That way you can have your money on you, even while on the rides, but it won't get lost.

Both of your ideas sound pretty good and tinaalsgirl also has a good idea!  Don't know how much money your planning to bring to the park.  As far as cash, we usually bring just a little more than we plan to spend.  If your worried about someone taking things out of the storage bins I personally have never had that happen to me or heard of it happening to anyone else.  I am sure it has happened in the past and someone on Sdcfans may have a past experience with that happening.  But I don't think I would be to worried to where it would effect me having fun at SDC.

If you don't want to use a wallet that you can just stick into a pocket then you could try a fanny pack, or just a small pouch that slides through a belt loop.

If all else fails, just stick a few dollars inside your shoe, and then your money will always be wherever your feet are.

1 of us lost a camera last year..  I think that was at wildfire....  I forget which member it was now............parsons maybe?

We just divide ours up into a few different pockets.  But I also have a small cross-body style "wallet" that I can put under my shirt, and since it is not visible or loose you dont have to leave it.

I used to have a wallet that went around my neck that I could keep under my shirt. Cost me about $5 at the PX when I was in the Army. I think WalMart has a cheap version

If you (or someone you're going with) has pockets with buttons or zippers, just put your money in a ziplock in the pocket   Hubby always wear some sort of cargo shorts so he keeps all our money in his buttoned pocket   I'd be a little worried about losing it during a ride if the pocket didn't close, but maybe I'm just paranoid!

I will have all the money for my trip with me. If I take a fanny pack would I have to take it off on the rides? I will be the only adult. No Zippered pockets.

Yes you will have to remove anything loose, including fanny packs on the rides.

You are either going to have to put the money in a pouch, or something that can be secured to your body, or in an interior pocket.

Yeah, fanny packs have to be taken off because it interferes with getting belts/lap bars on properly.

What could I get to secure it to my body? Don't want it flying off on the rides. Also what about putting some of it in a locker? Would you all feel comfortable with leaving some in a secured locker? Maybe take a little with me and lock the rest up.

[saloongal]

I think what a couple of us mean, is the very small zipper type pouches (sometimes you even get them at conferences) that go around your neck on a fairly small strap that you can put comfortably under your shirt. and will not interfere with ride harnesses.

But also we have used to lockers. I find them to be nice (and certtainly secure) but not always convenient.

[momto3dcl]

I thank you all for the ideas. I think I will be using the locker. I had planned on putting a bag in it anyways with dry clothes. Thank you

Yeah, the lockers work great. Gotta remember to bring quarters, but that's not a big deal. You'll wanna make sure your locker key is secure, though.
