Packing for Disney can be a struggle and we always worry that we are forgetting something.

However, we are here to help! We are in the parks every day, and we wanted to share our list of items we never go to Magic Kingdom without.
We are starting off our essentials list with one of our biggest recommendations: a water bottle. This Owala FreeSip Insulated Water Bottle is perfect for staying hydrated during park days.

You can refill it throughout the park at water fountains and water bottle refill stations. Or you can stop into quick service restaurants to grab cups of ice water and transfer into the water bottle for easy travel.
Magic Kingdom has so much to explore, and you will find that you might be using your phone a lot. You will want your phone to take photos, check wait times, Mobile Order food, and more. For this reason, we always bring a FuelRod Charger with us.

These are compact chargers that come with all the cables you need to make sure your phone stays charged. Once you have used one up, you can head to one of the numerous FuelRod stations in Magic Kingdom to exchange it for a new, fully charged FuelRod.
Long days in Magic Kingdom call for lots of sun protection! We always bring sunscreen, and this Hawaiian Tropic Mineral Powder Sunscreen will help keep your skin protected.

The powder provides a matte finish with a lightweight formula that won’t clog your pores. It provides SPF 30 coverage.

Now that we have our skin protected, we also always carry sunglasses with us to Magic Kingdom. The sun shines bright in Florida and these Tskestvy Retro Sunglasses are great for protecting your eyes!

This set comes with four different pairs of sunglasses that can be combined with any outfit.
While you are in Magic Kingdom, it is also likely that you will run into numerous characters, so we recommend bringing this Mickey and Friends Autograph Book.

You never want to be caught without an autograph book when you run into one of your favorite characters. This one also comes with a pen!
We have written about this more times than we can count, but always be prepared for rain during your trip to Magic Kingdom. We always have some rain ponchos in our bags, and these Cosowe Rain Ponchos are perfect for those surprise rainstorms.

This is a two pack of ponchos that also have a hood with a drawstring. Plus, we love that they are longer than some ponchos to provide a bit of additional protection.
We also always have some reusable straws in our backpack, as we just aren’t fans of the paper straws you find throughout the parks. This set of 12 Sunseeke Silicone Reusable Straws are perfect for adding to your park bag.

Along with the twelve straws, you also get four carrying pouches and two cleaning brushes. Having extras makes sure you can always have a clean straw for your drink!
Find these reusable straws here!
We adamantly support wearing Mickey ears all the time, but if you are going to choose just one park to wear ears to, we think it should be Magic Kingdom. These Mickey Mouse Ears are simple, yet adorable.

They are a great finish for any outfit and are ready for your Main Street photo shoot!
We also recommend bringing a MagicBand+ for your Magic Kingdom trip. We love how easy it makes it to scan in, plus there are so many opportunities for interaction in the park.

You can interact with the various statues and even interact with the Happily Ever After fireworks!
We always want you to have the best vacation and these are some of our must-haves while we enjoy Magic Kingdom. Stay tuned to AllEars for even more planning tips and must-haves for your trip!
