The thought of trying to keep our busy two year old occupied for five hours makes me cringe. How do you do it without divorcing your spouse or jumping out of the plane at 5,000 feet? 
I know we would all have a great time once we were settled at the hotel but the trip might kill us (or me anyway) Much appreciated.

Couple of things we used to do for the plane rides....
*Wrap all kinds of little things and when they got bored out came another one...match box cars, tiny dolls, candy, viewmaster with discs...,
*Plenty of snack type things...all their fav's
* DVD player with headphones
* books to read from
* benadryl...yes, for the ears, and added bonus, kids get a little sleepy from it
* Sticker books, not a lot of $$, and just toss when done
* small ( pony type)bead kit- kids loved to string them on gymp...ah, who cares if ya spill a few
*coloring books
* lollipops--in the mouth, then its shut ( LOL)
Anyway, have a blast. Buy your beach toys when there, less to carry over on the plane. ENJOY...
