There’s a lot to remember when you’re planning a trip to Disney World.

Are you packing all the right clothes? Are you leaving enough room for souvenirs? Are your bags small enough and light enough to fit on the plane? One of the biggest stressors happens before you even arrive, which is what to pack. We do our best to keep you as prepared as possible before you head to Disney World, so, here are the 9 things we will not go to Disney World without!
Cooling Towels
It gets HOT in Disney World, friends! And we don’t only mean the temperature — the humidity in Florida will make it feel even hotter than it already is, which means you need a Cooling Towel.

These come in their own containers and all you have to do is get it wet before you head out to the park, and by some crazy-cool science, it’ll stay cool all day! Lay it over your shoulders, on your head, or anywhere else you need to get a hit of cool air before you continue your day.

Portable Charger
Using your phone is practically essential in Disney World now, so you’ll need a good Portable Charger to keep your phone ready for the day.

While there are a few places you can charge your phone around Disney property, we would not recommend spending 30-45 minutes of your day just waiting for your phone to charge. Having a portable charger solves that problem — just make sure you charge the charger every night so it’s ready for the next day.

Neck Fan
If you’re not a fan of having something wet in your bag all day, we suggest grabbing a Neck Fan to have in your bag.

This will also keep you cool throughout the day as it’ll blow air right onto you consistently (which is especially great for those queue lines with no fans). However, this is another thing you’ll need to keep charged, so plug it in every night to avoid a sad, hot day when tomorrow comes.

Anti-Chafe
Now don’t run away just yet! We promise, having an Anti-Chafe Stick might just save your vacation.

Many of us have been there — you picked a cute outfit to wear, or your athletic shorts are rubbing a little bit too much against you, and now it hurts to walk. Having an anti-chafe stick can solve all those problems real fast. It’s primarily used for thighs, but you can also use it on whatever skin needs like, like shoulders or your waist.

Moleskin
On the topic of keeping your body comfortable, Moleskin Bandages may just be a lifesaver.

You can place these on blisters, or places where you’re prone to get blisters, to keep your shoes or clothing from rubbing up against them all day. You’re on your feet a LOT in Disney World — trust us when we say you do NOT want blisters!

A GOOD Waterbottle
Having the right Waterbottle for the parks is absolutely essential.

This one is a favorite of ours because it collapses down and can fit in a small bag. This means its great for on-the-go, and can also hold plenty of water when you are able to sit down for a long drink.

Ponchos
There’s a big chance it may rain when you’re in Disney World and you won’t want to buy Ponchos in the park, so buy them before you arrive!

Ponchos are available in the parks, but they’re VERY expensive, and when you’re already on an expensive vacation, who wants to spend even more money? We suggest buying a pack of ponchos before your trip for you and your family to use.

A 3-in-1 Charger
There’s a lot of charging to keep track of when you’re on vacation, so make it easier with this 3-in-1 Charger!

This device will charge your iPhone, Apple Watch, and AirPods all at the same time, and you only need the one device. This way, you’re not traveling with multiple cords that get all tangled up, then you realize you forgot one — you know what we mean.

The Perfect Bag
Looking for that perfect bag to fit everything in? We’ve got a suggestion for you — this Stitch Crossbody Bag might be just right!

This bag is big enough for what you need, but not too large to weigh you down. It can also fit easily in a locker if you choose to get one, so no struggling for you!
