I lost my daughter at Disney World and was terrified. A simple tip helped me find her quickly, and I recommend it to all parents.

• I've traveled all over the county with my five children, and Disney World stressed me out the most.
• To keep track of my kids, I tied a balloon to their backpacks, but I still lost one in the crowd.
• I also recommend families agree on meet-up spots in the parks.

My husband and I have traveled with our five kids countless times across the US, Canada, and Newfoundland. We have camped in national parks and visited amusement parks.

Although family vacations should be a break from the stresses of life, some trips were more stressful than others.
