There are certain essentials (both hard copies and on the phone) that you’ll want to make sure to have with you when traveling to Disney World.

• Passport or State ID

Tech Packing List for Disney

Disney requires certain technology you’ll want to make sure to bring with you. With Genie+ and My Disney Experience, you’ll find much of your planning takes place on your phone. For that reason, make sure to bring extra chargers, or go ahead and pack a FuelRod!

Medicine and Toiletries Checklist

• Daily Vitamins: Use a vitaminorganizer to keep things tidy
• Shampoo/Conditioner/Lotion/Bodywash: These are provided by resorts, but you may want to bring your own due to an allergy or brand preference
• Deodorant
• Hand sanitizer
• Tweezers
• Nail clippers
• Sunblock: Make sure to bring a regular size and travel size to reapply throughout the day.
• Moleskin: Will help with blisters!
• Prescription medications: Bring these in their original prescription bottles
• First-Aid Kit: A small one with Band-Aids will do. Resorts and Parks have First Aid personnel ready to help.
• CHECK: Are all liquids travel-sized? (3.4 oz bottle or less for air travel)

Clothing

• Rain jacket or raincoat: Don’t get caught having to pick up an expensive poncho in the parks
• Comfortable shoes: You will be walking a LOT, so comfortable shoes are key – and don’t wait until you get there to break in new shoes!
• Comfortable clothing: While dressing for fashion can be fun, make sure to keep comfort in mind. Lots of walking and heat are involved with a Disney World trip, so don’t make yourself miserable with uncomfortable apparel.
• Layers: Depending on when you visit, the weather may fluctuate throughout the day. Bring layers that can be taken off if the weather heats up later on in your day.
• Bike Shorts: If you’re wearing a dress or skirt, wearing bike shorts underneath will help to prevent any chafing.

• Warm clothes: Jacket sweatpants and an extra blankie
• Diaper Bag
• Diapers
• Swim diapers
• Wipes
• Bottles
• Formula
• Baby food
• Baby hat
• Socks
• Stroller fan: Not a must-have, but if your baby gets hot easily, it’s not a bad idea

Swimwear

• Swimsuit/trunks: Make sure they fit! If you haven’t been swimming in a while, make everyone in the house try on their suit
• Swim shoes
• Swim Earplugs
• Nose plugs
• Swim cap
• Cover-up
• Sunhat
• Sunglasses
• Swim bag
• Sand toys: Some hotels have sand, so pack just a couple of shovels and a castle mold to avoid buying these at the gift shop

Park Day Bag

The packing doesn’t stop at home. Each day before jumping on the monorail/Skyliner/bus, you’ll need to pack up a bag for the day bag every day.

• Hats
• Mickey Ear
• Water bottle
• Sunglasses
• Sunblock
• Hand sanitizer
• Camera
• Cellphone
• Charging battery
• Little snacks
• Parade blanket

Extra Magic Disney World Packing List

• Matching shirts
• Glowsticks: Buy a tube of a bunch of glowstick bracelets or light-up toys to avoid temptation when the glowing vendor carts come out at night at the parks
• Bubble wand: Buy an Ariel bubble wand on Amazon or eBay ahead of time, because these are sure to catch the eye of little ones at the parks
• Spray fan: If you’re going during a hot time of year, pack one of these to avoid buying one!
• Souvenir surprises: Just like buying glow and bubble toys ahead of time, consider getting plush or toys to pack and have them “appear” in the room (be the last one out of the room and put them on the bed to await your return) for a surprise without the souvenir shop price tag!
