You have your Magic bands and are packing to go to Disney World, what on earth do you take for to parks all day long?
It is no secret we love Disney World, we are there at least once a month!
I wanted to put together some items that we have found are the essentials when spending a day at the parks. I am breaking down the details for you in this blog post.
First and foremost, you can take a bag, backpack, purse, whatever you like. We have found that we both like having a smaller backpack.
When we first started going to the park Luc, my husband would carry everything in one backpack for us and it was amazing, but so much for him to carry.
Here is what we pack in his backpack. Here is a close version of his backpack. We took out the camel pack in it and just use the extra space. Our water bottles fit right into the sides of this backpack.
1. Water Bottles- We fill our bottles with ice and water and keep 2 with us at all times. These are the one's we carry and we just refill in the park. We also keep a cooler in our car for the drive home or to the hotel with waters in them to rehydrate. During the summer months, you must keep yourself hydrated at the parks. It is so hot and can be really humid, so keep the water coming!
2. Umbrella -
This may sound weird to carry an umbrella but I use it for the sun. It helps take me out of direct sun and gives me some relief and the kids. I try to be really careful to not overheat while we are walking around. You will actually see a lot of people carrying them. You can of course use them for the occasional crazy down pour you can experience daily at the parks too.
This one comes in lots of colors and is easy to pack. You can also pack ponchos if you need them! It is good to have them for those crazy downpours. Here is a link to some ponchos
3. Sunscreen
We don't go a day without sunscreen. It is so important to apply and re-apply through the day. Here are some good travel size ones.
These are great for travel, and don't take up much
space. Sunscreen
4. Cooling Towels- These are perfect for those really hot moments at the park. These are half the price that you can buy them for at Disney as well. They are perfect to help cool you off, and they are reusable.
5. Matching Disney Shirts-
Listen, it's the only place on earth where you will find grown men wearing a shirt that matches his families. It is so fun and super cute and there are so many fun designs to choose from. I love these and just ordered them for our next trip.
We also take snacks and lunches for day trips. Those are easy ways to save money in the parks. A small hand held fan that is battery operated or through your phone is great to take with you too for air movement. We are working on putting together a post of all our favorite hotels at Disney.
If you are going to Disney World soon I would love to know!
