It's time to pack for your Disney, Universal or Caribbean vacation! But, what to bring??!
This is one of the most common vacation questions I get for guests planning their visit to any of the Disney or Universal Parks.
I've come to realize that the most efficient way for me to pack is to keep a running list of travel essentials—things I know I'll need for literally any trip I'm taking. This keeps me from experiencing the inevitable 'oh-my-god-I-can't-believe-I-forgot-to-pack-that' slip-up!
While I create the checklist, be sure to check out my must buy items for a seamless Disney World, Disneyland, Disney Cruise & Universal Orlando vacation! And Stay tuned for my super awesome packing lists! (coming soon)
Pack each kids clothes in their own cube
Packing Cubes help me stay organized. I always organize my cubes by what's in them: Disney Ears in one, park outfits in another, and so on. It's helped in getting out the door quicker on park days.
Ponchos for the entire family when it rains at Disney World
It rains in Florida…a LOT. It is a bummer when it rains at Disney World, but it means shorter lines – especially at Magic Kingdom.
Pack ponchos for the entire family for a trip to Disney World and save yourself the $15+ that Disney World charges for ponchos.
Hand Sanitizer for Park Days
Disney World is good about having hand sanitizer stations throughout the parks, but most of them are empty!
Pack your own hand sanitizer. Plus, then you’ll have it anywhere you go.
A small water bottle to keep the family hydrated
Save yourself (and your family) money by packing an empty water bottle and filling it up at the park. Most of the Disney & Universal food stands with soda machines can fill up glasses of water with ice. Bring a small water bottle (it’s lighter to carry around) and fill it up throughout the day. And....the water is FREE!!
The last charger you will ever need to buy!
FuelRod is the first sleek and compact portable charger that allows you to recharge or SWAP your used Rod for a freshly charged one at any of the FuelRod touch-free* kiosk. FuelRod makes it fast and easy to power your phone or tablet on the go, never run out of battery again! In the Park 1 will cost $30.
Don't leave without getting Mickey's signature!
This autograph book is perfect for anyone planning a trip to Disney World. With room for signatures from your favorite characters, it’s perfect for any occasion. Whether you're taking it on vacation, to a birthday party, or just to have it as a keepsake, it is sure to make your trip magical.
On a hot day these towels are perfect for keeping cool.
If you're going to Florida, especially in the summer months, it's going to be HOT HOT HOT! Grab this pack of cooling towels to help stay cool.
The towel stays chilled for up to 3 hours. It comes with an easy carrying pouch and carabiner clip.
Attach this case to a lanyard for quick access to your phone.
I love to take pictures at the park, but I hate taking my phone in and out of my bag. This case allows me to wear it around my neck or hold it in my hand for easy access to take photos!
Includes 1 phone case, 1 Metal Chain Strap, 1 screen protector and 1 cute storage bags.
Travel to Vacation in Style
If you're heading to Disney World, you need a cute suitcase to match! This 21-inch suitcase meets most airline requirements for carry-on luggage and fits into most overhead bins. Check your airline’s specifications for exact details.

They are well made, not cheap or flimsy and they don't hurt your head when wearing them. Great price, too! A must have for any Disney Trip! I highly recommend these, especially if you are not sure if your kids will wear them the entire time!
