In the park without pockets.

I just got my first season pass so I'm slightly inexperienced with frequent visits to the park. What have you guys found is the best way to carry personal belongings such as a car key, phone, wallet, ect. with you in the park without leaving them in a locker or having pants with pockets?

If for whatever reason you absolutely cannot or will not wear pants with pockets, and you don't want to rent a locker, then a fanny pack might be your only option.

I would definitely get some shorts or pants with pockets. Get some of these!: https://www.cedarpoint.com/blog-article/online-fun/Coaster-Shorts

It's a lot harder to find comfortable, not super short shorts, with cargo pockets for women. I'm not a fan of short jean shorts, and even if I was, they hardly have pockets that'll hold a cell phone, let alone anything else.

I wear cargo pants/shorts to store keys/ phone/ wallet etc!! Never had a problem and never have to get a locker!!

My Wife has a few pair of cargo shorts that aren't "short shorts", though I'm not sure where she buys them. Hell, I'm not sure where she buys my pants. ;-)

Haha, spoken like a true man. =p

But thanks, I'll just keep looking for some decent cargo shorts for women, since I know they're actually out there now. One of my friends suggested a belt that runners usually wear with just a small pocket in it as well, so I've got a few things to look for before the season starts.

Just Google "woman's cargo shorts". I did that for you and it came back with a ton of hits from many different stores in many different styles.

I know a couple women that like Levis Mens Ace Cargo shorts. On them anyway, there's no way you would even notice they are "Mens" shorts.

Knee length

Deep hand pockets with double slots (to separate phone from keys/change for example)

Secure yet easy to open button clasps

Thank you! I was kinda thinking I'd have to find mens shorts that we're small enough to fit me. The womens shorts just don't have the length or the pocket space mens do. (even when googled)

A couple years ago they started allowing small cross body bags on all the rides. That's what I have used since. It is just big enough for money, ID, credit cards/season pass, keys, and any other small necessities.

Ugh, I could never go to the park without pockets. It would drive me insane.

I have these pants, the Capri version, and the skort version too. The pockets are perfect sized for a phone, key, card, and some cash. LOVE the fit! They're nice and light weight for warm days too. I never go to KI or CP without them (unless I have a jacket with zip pockets!)

My girlfriend brings her wristlet in, and it's just big enough to fit both passes, IDs, a credit card, a phone, and a car key. When we go on rides, she'll just unclip the wrist strap, loop it through a belt loop, and clip it. That way, you won't have to worry about the embarrassment of wearing a fanny pack :)

Thanks for the link! Yeah, I've tried to just bring in my wristlet as well, but I usually don't have pants/capris with belt loops at all. I'm usually in some kind of yoga pant as I've found them to be the most comfortable for the heat and the constant walking. So having to just hold it on rides makes it hard to put my hands up.

Will probably end up with something like this, that will fit under a shirt if I need it to.

Try looking at these! They are cuter/smaller "fanny packs" that don't bulge out as much as a regular one. I have one and use it in the park to hold my cell, various cards and cash. It works great, is small and comfortable on the rides, and even completely hides under a slightly longer top.

Also, if you go with any young, yet responsible children, my niece has wanted to wear it every year that we go, so I get to pawn it off on her lol. It's actual pretty great if you do any outdoor exercising as well like for trail walks. I swear, I don't sell or represent these bags! I just struggled with the same problem being a petite woman who didn't want huge shorts where things can fall out.

Ohhh, those are definitely pretty! And pretty much exactly what I was looking for. Thanks so much!

Once the weather allows I get down with the shorts. Big pockets, two cargo pockets and my favorites have deep side pockets. I tend to wear shirts with pockets that button-down securely too, often worn under a BGSU hockey jersey.

I bought the canvas messenger bag a couple of years ago on my first trip and it is the family supply and storage space. We loop the souvenir cups around the strap, along with the popcorn container. Inside I have band-aids, Dayquil, Advil, stain sticks, hand sanitizer, antibiotic gel, sting kills, a pen, tweezers, tiny medical scissors, and mole skin. I also keep a couple of snacks there. Depending on the weather I add a stadium blanket, Cedar Fair VIP pull-overs, and occasionally a mini-umbrella. Sometimes the kids keep some of that in their own draw-string backpacks however. Bottom line is that we are loaded for bear and nothing can drive us out of the park unless we feel like leaving.

Makes me wish I had more kids. Hope I’m still this mobile when I finally have grandkids.

Some advice (that for some reason most people don't think about) is only bring in your car key. Take it off the ring and leave the other 347 keys in the car. I never understood why someone would want to bring a key ring full of keys and key chains into the park. Especially if you actually did lose them on a ride. Now you would be out of a car key, house key, and whatever else keys you need.

One of the people I go to the park with semi-regularly will take a safety pin and secure the car key to her bra. No carrying and it's probably not going anywhere.
