Theme Park Diabetes Survival
Walking Lows, Ride Rules, and Heat on a Park Day
For families planning a multi-day theme park trip with diabetes, at Disney World, Disneyland, Universal or a regional park.
Inside Theme Park Diabetes Survival
- The full guide, read online as a book, always current as new issues land
- Six short videos to share before or during the trip, added after launch. Everyone who bought earlier gets each one, and the price goes to $50 once all six are in.
- An overview deck that walks the whole trip in one sitting, for the planning talk at the kitchen table.
- One-page team cards for how your travelers talk and work together: a before-we-leave huddle card, a who-does-what card, a card for when something goes wrong, and one card per issue.
- Printable checklists: packing, an emergency protocol, and a partner discussion guide.
- A 6x9 paperback for the bag, with the team cards, checklists and emergency protocol each on its own page. It comes after the online guide.
A park day runs to twenty thousand steps, ninety degrees and meals on the park's schedule, all while a sensor sits on your arm in the sun. You plan the bag that goes from rope drop to fireworks, learn what the ride makers say about pumps and sensors, and find the first aid stations and fridges before you need them. The guide also covers a low with forty minutes of line left.
A kid who will not leave the line and a parent watching the arrow turn down need a plan made before the park opens. The team cards set who has the bag, who watches the numbers in the queue, and what happens when someone needs to step out of line.
