      walkie talkies or text?

      Last time we were there we bought some cheap radios from walmart and crackled our way around the parks

      Is this still the thing to do? I'd heard that so many people were using them that it was hard to get a free channel and so people had started using texts to stay in touch?

      I think that texting is soooo much better

      And what the enemy will see? They will see the flash of our cannons, and they will hear the ringing of our swords, and they will know what we can do! By the sweat of our brow and the strength of our backs and the courage in our hearts! Gentlemen, hoist the colors!

      Walkie talkies can be difficult to work in the parks. We tried that years ago and it was a mess.

      Texting would be much easier.

      Of course with all the noise you'll have to remember to check the phones.

      I love going to disney as I leave my phone in the hotel for emergencies and maybe a quick chat. It's the one place I don't always have my cell on me.

      Re: walkie talkies or text?

      We bought two Net10 phones from Walmart and used them, walkie talkies only work within a certain radius and when the other person is free. Phones can be used wherever anyone is and a missed call or text will show when they get off a ride so no worries about missing them, theyll get the message or call eventually! Wether they respond to you is a whole other question....

      Re: walkie talkies or text?

      We've used both. We like the walkie talkies when the people we are tying to stay in touch with don't have mobiles (clearly useful there LOL) or when they don't check their phones! UUUUUGH! LOL.

      We have ones that cover a five mile radius so they work well.

      Texting is very useful too, but only if the people you are texting have a plan that supports that, eh?

      And not on international rates.

      Do texting charges vary for domestic and international? I don't text at all. If I don't have time to answer my phone, I certainly don't have time for texting!
