7 Ways You’ll Need to Pack Differently for Disney World in 2026

First, we have this FuelRod MAX10.

We love FuelRods because you only really need one, because you get to swap them out around Disney World for FREE! Yep, no need to bring multiple power banks and tons of cables when you just need this one. We love how it also lasts us most of the day (and trust us, we’re on our phones a lot getting those perfect pictures), and it’s so much easier to carry one and swap.

We also love this Handheld Mini Fan.

Not only is this a power bank, but it’s also a fan, and it’s small, meaning it won’t take up much room in your bag. It can be hard to balance the temperature of Florida, from being crazy hot outside and then freezing cold inside due to the air conditioning. This little fan packs a punch and really helps us stay a little cooler.

Another way to beat the heat is with Liquid I.V.

I cannot emphasize this enough: Florida is HOT, and it feels like it’s getting hotter every year. These electrolyte drink mixes are super easy to dump in your water bottle and help with a little extra hydration. If you’re not used to being outside for so many hours and drinking enough water, these can help.

We love these Ultra-lite Rain Ponchos.

We’ll always rave about these because they fold up so easily in our backpacks and are perfect to pull out during the dreaded Florida rainstorms. Florida will downpour for 30 minutes, and it will be the worst rain you’ve ever seen, just for it to be sunny the rest of the day, so having the ability to tuck this back into our bags makes life easier.

Don’t forget to pack a Water Bottle!

There are tons we love, but this one is nice because it’s stainless steel and has a built-in straw. I love the handle on the top, so you can clip it onto your backpack or slide it into the side pouch of the backpack. I like to hold mine in line so I can remind myself to continue to drink water, but it’s so nice to put it back in my bag before I hop on my next ride.

I don’t think I’ll ever pack my suitcase with Packing Cubes again.

I had no idea these were going to be as life-changing as they were. I have this exact set and have for years, and I can organize all my items in the different-sized bags and easily stack them in my suitcase. I especially like that at the ned of my trip, I can transfer all of my clean clothes to one and my first clothes to the other so my clean clothes don’t get dirty in my suitcase.

Finally, we have this Hardshell Suitcase.

Where will those packing cubes go? In your hardshell suitcase, of course. If you’re using packing cubes, I highly recommend using a hardshell suitcase since they tend to fit a lot more easily in it. These can handle the wear and tear of airlines handling your luggage, which is a win too.
