I Just Discovered This Packing Hack and It’s a Game Changer When Traveling

We highly recommend using these Compression Packing Cubes.

These cubes work like a vacuum seal. According to the manufacturer, “after the clothes are packed, use the compression zipper in the middle of the bag to help flatten the clothes and expel excess air, saving up to 60% of storage space.” Their lightweight fabric “ensures your clothes fit neatly into your luggage without adding extra weight. These travel packing cubes are perfect when you want to reduce weight and save space in your carry-on, suitcase, or backpack.”

Another set we love is the 8 Set Packing Cubes.

These are loved by our team! It comes with eight different-sized bags to fit all your needs. We like being able to organize our items and keep a few bags empty for extra souvenirs. It’s easy to throw our dirty clothes in, too.

Next up, there’s this Foldable Duffel Bag for the trip home.

We’ve all been there: You’re heading home from a trip to Disney World, struggling through Orlando International Airport carrying several plastic bags full of Disney souvenirs. Here’s a way to avoid that: pick up this foldable duffel bag and pack it in your suitcase for the trip to Orlando. Then load it up with your souvenirs and take it home as a carry-on.

If you’re not for the duffle, you can use this Travel Backpack, too.

It lies flat so you can store it in the bottom of your suitcase, but when the Mickey ears get too much, you can pop this up and use it as an extra carry-on. There’s even a dry-wet compartment to tuck in a few swimsuits that didn’t quite have time to dry in the Florida humidity. It lies flat so you can roll up items and store them under your seat during the flight. If you’re using it as a carry-on, don’t forget to keep all your medications, wallets, and phone chargers with you.

If you’re bringing the whole family, grab a Pop Up Hamper.

This thing twists up super small, so you won’t even notice it while you pack your suitcase. You can pop it up when you get to the hotel, and then the family can throw all their dirty clothes in, keeping your hotel room organized. At the end of the trip, you know which clothes are dirty, so you can throw them in a separate packing cube, reducing your laundry when you get back. Speaking of laundry, we like to throw a dryer sheet or two at the bottom of our suitcase so the fresh laundry smell stays while you travel.

Use a Loungefly to store small items.

It’s not a secret that we love Loungeflys. However, beyond their usefulness in the parks, they can also make packing much easier. Pack small items like phone chargers, etc., in the Loungefly, then pack the Loungefly in your suitcase; that way, none of the smaller belongings will get lost in the larger suitcase.

Don’t forget to grab your Loungefly Organizer!

You can keep your smaller items in it while you pack and then use it while you’re in the parks. This organizer also makes it easy to switch from Loungefly to Loungefly if you like to change it up every day. The organizer can lie flat, so it takes up less space. If you prefer to store it that way, you can.

Finally, there are Men’s and Women’s Shorts.

These plain shorts are perfect as a “capsule wardrobe” essential.

You can bring multiple shirts and pair them with the shorts to make multiple outfits.
