7 things you SHOULD take into Disney World 🏰

7 things you SHOULD take into Disney World 🏰 ...that can make your park day SO much easier. #1 could save you a fortune and #7 has saved us more than once. 👀 1. Your own food 🍎 YES day. Think: Sandwiches Snacks Fruit Kids' snacks Emergency queue snacks (parents know 😂) Disney permits outside food for personal consumption, provided it meets its rules for example, no glass containers and nothing requiring heating/ reheating/refrigeration. Why I'd pack it: Kids deciding they're starving approximately 14 seconds after you've joined a 60-minute queue. 2. Drinks & refillable water bottles 💧 You can bring non- alcoholic drinks into the parks. So pack those refillable bottles rather than buying bottled drinks all day. Just remember: no glass containers (with limited exceptions such as small baby-food jars). PARK BAG TIP: Fill everyone up before you leave in the morning and keep drinking throughout the day. Florida heat + tired children is not the Disney magic we're looking for. 3. A cooler 🧊 YES you can bring a cooler. BUT... Your bag/cooler can't be larger than 24" long x 15" wide x 18" high. And loose or dry ice isn't allowed Disney recommends reusable ice packs instead. Perfect for drinks and snacks during a long park day. 4. A stroller (even for bigger kids!) 🫶 You can bring your own stroller, provided it's no larger than: 31" wide x 52" long. But stroller wagons aren't allowed. Don't assume your child is "too old" for one. Disney involves miles of walking, heat, late nights and overstimulation. A stroller can be transport, shade, storage and somewhere to crash. You know your child. 5. Portable chargers 🔋 PACK. ONE. Your phone gets used for so much during a Disney day: My Disney Experience Lightning Lane Maps Wait times Mobile Order Approximately 4,763 photos of your children A portable charger is one of those boring things you'll be extremely grateful you packed. My tip: Charge the power bank every night not just your phone. 6. Your own rain gear ☔️ Ponchos. Compact umbrella. Spare socks. Florida can go from: "What a gorgeous day!" to "WE'RE ALL SOAKED." ...remarkably quickly. Pack each person's poncho in an individual zip bag. When the rain stops, the wet poncho goes straight back in without soaking everything else in your park bag. 7. A change of clothes 👕👖 YES even if your kids are past the toddler stage. A spare outfit can be an absolute lifesaver at Disney. Think: Getting soaked on a ride Florida downpours Mickey ice cream casualties Spilled drinks Water play areas Sweaty clothes after hours in the heat PARK BAG TIP: Roll a complete outfit including underwear + socks into a zip-lock bag for each child. It takes up hardly any room, keeps everything dry and... the same bag becomes somewhere to put the wet/dirty clothes afterwards. 🫶 BONUS: Things I'd ALWAYS have in my park bag Portable charger Charging cable Refillable water bottles Snacks Ponchos Zip bags Sunscreen Sunglasses Cooling fan Plasters/blister patches Spare socks Change of clothes for little ones Wipes Hand sanitiser Hair bobbins Any medication you need Something small to entertain kids in queues Screenshot this one. 👑 And before you finish packing...
