       TIP

"I just returned from WDW and unfortunately, had an allergic reaction to my sunscreen. The stores do carry benedryl and hydrocortizone cream but it barely made a dent in my itchiness. I knew baking soda would work but could not find it anywhere (I even walked up Hotel Blvd. to Goodies Grocery store). Luckily, the woman at Goodies saw my arms and legs and went to the bakery department and gave me a plastic cup full of baking soda. With one treatment I felt better. My advice is if you have a tendacy toward these types of reactions, bring your own baking soda. I will never leave home without it."
