There are so many elements to having a great trip to Walt Disney World, but the very first step is packing those much-needed essentials so your trip doesn’t start off with a snag.
We know that packing can feel a little overwhelming when it comes to preparing for your trip, but fear not because we have you covered with this list of much-needed travel essentials we once forgot to pack and will NEVER forget again.
Now, if you know Disney World straws, you know that oftentimes you won’t find yourself drinking out of the standard plastic straw you might be used to. Instead, you’ll likely be drinking out of a paper or agave straw. We don’t mind these from time to time, but after using these again and again, we really prefer to bring our own straws because they don’t break down or have a strange taste!
This Reusable Silicone Straw Set is convenient. There are plenty of straws, they come in a nice carrying case, and there’s a nice cleaner as well!
Now, we’re in the parks all the time and straws aren’t the only things we like to pack to make sure we have the best experience in the parks.
This Insulated Stainless Steel Drink Holder is just the thing to keep your drinks cool, especially with summer just around the corner.
This drink holder, crafted with double-walled stainless steel, keeps your drink as cold and fizzy on the last sip as it was on the first. It will keep your canned drinks cold as you drink around the world in EPCOT and it’s small enough to fit in your Loungefly or your water bottle pocket on your backpack.
Sanitizers are probably one of the most essential items to bring during your Disney World trip and we get so upset whenever we forget them! These Touchland Hand Sanitizers are truly a must have.
Coming in a pack of 3, these hand sanitizers not only eliminate 99.9% of germs but also hydrate and are scented with mood-boosting fragrances. Plus, how aesthetic is the packaging?
You absolutely need to pack socks in your travel bag so we have to include these Character Cartoon Socks as our pick.
These socks come in a pack of 5 and are made from a comfortable material with plenty of stretch. Plus what’s not to love about an essential that can be cute as well? We like to pack an extra pair just in case we find ourselves in the rain. There’s nothing worse than a pair of wet socks.
When it comes to the blazing sun, sunglasses are so needed and we will never forget to pack them again. These Retro Rectangular Sunglasses are the perfect shades to bring.
Not only are these retro-style sunnies so chic and trendy, but the lenses have UV400 PROTECTION, so your eyes will be protected from the sun. I mean, have you ever tried taking a cute pic when you’re being forced to stare into the face of the sun?! It’s the worst. That’s why we like to bring sunnies. And since it’s way too easy to lose a pair in the parks, we like to buy cheap cute ones that come in a pack!
With all the walking you’re gonna be doing at the parks, this Thigh RescueAnti-Friction Stick will probably be a lifesaver.
With natural ingredients such as aloe, pomegranate & grapeseed oil, this Anti-Friction stick helps soothe and moisturize the skin, preventing any irritation. Your thighs will thank you!
Another aid for all the steps you’ll be getting in during your day at Disney is these Moleskin Blister Prevention Pads
These heel pads prevent friction from shoes which can prevent or protect blisters from getting irritated once again. This pack comes with 165 pieces in 15 sheets. These are so nice because you are going to be walking LOTS and blisters happen. This will keep you from being miserable on your trip after getting a blister!
If there’s anything you’ll thank us for including on this list, it’s these Reusable Rain Ponchos.
Orlando weather can be unpredictable and we can’t count the amount of times we’ve regretted not bringing our own ponchos, because although you can purchase one at the parks, they are not worth the hefty price tag. This pack comes with two ponchos that are durable and tear-resistant. They also have buttons so you don’t have to pull them over your head — so nice!
Another essential for rainy weather is this Compact Travel Umbrella.
It’s compact size makes it convenient to carry around and aside from being great for rainy weather, it also doubles as a UPF umbrella that blocks 99% of UV radiation so it can keep you cool during hot, sunny days.
With all the snacking you’re gonna be doing, this Dental Floss Travel Case will definetly come in handy.
This set comes with 2 portable case and 20 floss sticks and are reusable and easy to store.
Portable Chargers are a MUST-HAVE when you’re traveling to Walt Disney World.
This FuelRod portable charger is compatible with all phones and tablets and aside from being rechargeable, you can SWAP your used Rod for a freshly charged one at any of the FuelRod kiosks which are conveniently located at different Disney World locations! You can get a set of two online for almost as much as one costs in the parks. It’s really a good deal!
This Native Deodorant Spray offers 72 Hour Odor Protection and we’ll never again forget how essential it is to pack it.
With all the heat and constant walking deodorant is another must-have item to ensure you feel fresh and comfortable throughout your entire trip.
This pack of e.l.f. Shine Eraser Blotting Sheets will keep your face looking refreshed all day.
These blotting sheets help absorb shine and and remove excess oils. Made with green tea extract, this also helps keep your makeup looking fresh and matte.
And the last item on our list is this Handheld Mini Fan that will cool you down no matter how hot it is at the parks.
Not only does it have 12-19 hours of cooling time, but it also doubles as a portable charger and a flashlight! We love how versatile this fan is and the bear design is absolutely adorable.
