How safe is disneyland?

Question

Is it safe for two eleven year olds with a cell phone to go alone in the park with a parent in a nearby hotel?

Answer 1

very very very safe!! i used to let my daughters do that all of the time. there are tons of security there so that will also put your mind at ease. they take safety very seriously at disneyland resort.

Answer 2

Disneyland is not only the Happiest Place on Earth but one of the Safest...1 plain clothes Security Officer to every 200 people...but 11 years old is too young to turn loose alone at Disneyland without a parent being IN the Park as well

Answer 3

Very safe over all with the disclaimer that your children should know never to talk to or go with strangers.

Any public place, even expensive place can attract child predators and if your children appear not to have adults with them they may become targets

Make sure they can identify a Disney employee and that they absolutely know that you would not send a stranger to get them under any circumstances.

I have seen studies where children are specifically told this and yet when an adult tells them "Mom sent me to get you"  they go with the stranger.

Have a secret word that in the very unlikely event that occurred only you and the kids would know.

Answer 4

It's very safe.  I don't think you have to be worrying about anything since there are a lot of authorities there and they will all help your children if they are lost.  Anyway, they have a cellphone so you don't have to worry.

Answer 5

Safe enough!

Answer 6

o very safe. ive been there and nothing went wrong. its a very pleasent place to be.

Answer 7

DEFINITELY safe, as long as the kids follows the regulations/rules on the rides and don't do anything stupid :-)

Answer 8

I live pretty close to Disneyland, about 20 min away. I've dropped off my kids plenty of times and went back home. We have season passes so they go a lot and haven't had a problem. They call about a half hour before they want to leave and they stay inside the park until I get there. I wouldn't worry about your kids... Have fun!

Answer 9

The park is safe; there are a lot of security guards around. As long as there are two people, don't get lost, and follow the park and ride rules they will be fine.

Answer 10

Rather safe. Just make sure to tell the kids to stay together and only get on the rides that they both want to.  

Answer 11

Yeah they should be, just make sure you tell them to keep to themselves and not act a fool to avoid conflicts, sometimes I see punk kids running there mouth about random stuff cant really explain it hopefully you know what I mean and prevent it. I'm sure its probably not how ur kids act but u never know when there not around.

Answer 12

Thank you everyone for your answers.  My smart precocious 11-year old daughter was the author of the original post.  I didn't realize that she had posted; she just showed it to me now.  I will definitely take your advice to heart.  Thanks!
