When packing for Disney World, you can save a lot of time and stress by making sure you pack some simple items. Here’s our essential packing list for Walt Disney World.
Sun protection
Florida, obviously, is very sunny! So make sure you pack that sunscreen in your suitcase or carry on (under 3.4 oz). Sunscreen at Disney World can be very overpriced so it’s important to remember to pack this essential item.
Sometimes we like to use GoToobs, nice 3 oz. flexible lotion carriers. This keeps things carry on size if you’re not checking bags. Don’t forget hats as well to protect from the sun.
Ponchos
Count on sun in Florida and also count on a ton of rain. Ponchos on sale at Disney World are nice, but can run you more than you might like to pay. Make sure to purchase ponchos beforehand or at least pack the ponchos you bought on your previous Disney trips!
Don’t make the mistake we’ve made: leaving your ponchos in your hotel room! Carry your ponchos with you at all times, it can pour for ten minutes and then be bright and sunny in an instant.
Weather appropriate clothing
Moisture wicking clothing is best. Between the heat and humidity, Splash Mountain, and those thunderstorms, you want to stay dry. We recommend clothes that are cool and comfortable, and layers in the winter.
Comfortable shoes
Guests at Walt Disney World do a lot of walking. It’s imperative that you pack comfortable shoes – and then a second pair! Make sure your shoes have been broken in beforehand too. Blisters can really kill your Disney vacation.
Why bring two pairs? Well, when your first pair is soaked through you’ll want a spare. Otherwise you end up in a situation like this:
Portable chargers
In this day and age, almost everyone uses their smartphone at the park. You’ll take pictures, use the My Disney Experience app, and text with your friends and family constantly. So if you don’t already, make sure you bring a portable charger to Disney World! You don’t want to be caught without a a battery and your battery will drain fast at Disney!
