Top 20 Items on Our Disney Packing List
Do you ever go on vacation, only to realize you have forgotten something? It is the worst feeling knowing that you leave something you know you are going to need for your trip at home. This is why we always make a Disney packing list.
While this is similar when choosing what to pack for a hotel stay, there are a few more things you might need for a trip to Disney.
Our Disney packing list ensures that we have not only our vacation essentials but things we typically use while we are in the Disney parks.
Disney Packing List
If you are planning a Disney World vacation this year, we encourage you to create a Disney World packing list that not only includes the clothes & toiletries that you need, but also the items you will pack for a day at the park.
1. Sunscreen
If you are flying, you are going to find that bringing a full-size suntan lotion difficult because of TSA regulations.
There are two ways to get around this: purchase travel-size sunscreen, a sunscreen stick, or purchase a regular-size sunscreen on Amazon and have it shipped to your resort.
2. Poncho
The weather in Florida can be unpredictable.
Do yourself a favor and pack lightweight ponchos for everyone in your group.
3. Power Strip for the Room
Disney has gotten better about providing USB ports & outlets in their renovated rooms, but not all rooms have enough outlets.
If you need to charge multiple devices, you will be so glad you have a powerstrip/ charging port.
4. Anti-Chafe Stick
You may not think you need to add this to your Disney World packing list, but I swear that this is one of those things that is essential.
These Body Glide sticks can be lifesavers for your feet and your thighs.
5. Hat/ Visor/ Sunglasses
It is sunny in Florida all year long. Do not go to Disney without something to shield your eyes and face from the sun!
6. Swimsuit/ Water wings/ Goggles
If you are planning on swimming while you are on your Disney vacation, you will want to make sure that you have the things you need.
While towels are provided, you don’t want to be without the other swimming essentials.
7. Nightlight
This is one of those things that everyone forgets to pack for Disney World. Rooms can be dark and if you want to find the bathroom in the middle of the night, a portable nightlight that you can leave in the bathroom certainly helps!
8. Sound Machine
This is one of those things that we take everywhere we travel. No one wants to miss out on sleep because of noisy neighbors!
While the resorts are sturdy, they are not soundproof! A good sound machine can really make all the difference in getting a sound sleep in a hotel.
9. Ziploc Bags
I can’t tell you how many times we’ve used these for various reasons.
They are great for packing wet clothes (for a variety of reasons), holding snacks, or just to be used to protect electronics when it rains!
10. Portable Charger
You will be so glad you have this with you! You will be surprised how quickly your battery will go when you are in Disney World.
Between taking pictures, checking the app, and trying to connect with the Disney World wifi, you will eat up your battery in a number of hours.
Be prepared by packing a
11. Lanyards/ Autograph Books
While you can buy these at the parks, I think you will find it far cheaper to buy ahead of your Disney Vacation.
- 50 blank pages
- Elastic pen loop
- Patterned inside covers
- Mickey holding banner with ”This book belongs to:” and blank field inside front cover
- 4 1/2” H x 6” W x 1/4” D
- Disney (Publisher)
12. Good pair of Walking Shoes & Flip Flops
Two things you will need when it comes to your feet are walking shoes and a pair of flip-flops if you are planning to go to the pool.
13. Small Soft Cooler
If you want to carry cold water or snacks like applesauce or yogurt with you into the park, these small soft coolers are essential.
Don’t try to bring in a hard cooler, Disney won’t let you!
14. Costumes
If your children want to dress up at the park, don’t forget their costumes.

15. Wet wipes and/or Hand Sanitizer
While Disney has plenty of bathrooms to wash up, it isn’t always convenient.
Bring along some hand sanitizer or disposable wipes to keep those germs at bay.
16. Backpack
Pack an easy-to-carry traveling bag to take into the park.
We prefer these backpacks because they are lightweight & have tons of pockets for storage.
Check out what I put in my day bag for the parks.
17. Bandaids
More specifically we not only pack regular band-aids but also Waterproof Blister Band-aids (just in case).
18. Stain Remove Pen
If you plan to do laundry on vacation, be sure to pack some travel detergent (pods are great) otherwise bring a Tide Stain Pen so that you can treat a stain in a flash.
19. Laundry Bag
One thing on our Disney World packing list that you might not have thought about is something to hold your dirty clothes.
Packing a laundry bag will give you a place for the entire family to dump their clothes at the end of the day!
20. MagicBands/Park Tickets
If there is one thing you don’t want to forget to pack, it is your
It is always a good idea to take a picture of the back of your park ticket just in case you were to misplace it.

Disney World Packing Tip
Are you worried about packing too many things in your suitcase? Did you know that you can ship items to your Disney resort from Amazon?
If you have an Amazon Prime membership, you can ship items you buy online directly to your Disney Resort.
If you want to mail a package ahead of your vacation, be sure the package includes the mailing address of your Disney Resort Hotel and has your name with the word “Guest” beside it.
Also, include your arrival date.
You’ll notice that our Disney World packing list doesn’t include clothing. If you are wondering what to wear to Disney World, we have a great list of ideas.
Do you make a Disney World packing list? What items do you include?
Great list! I always forget an extra set of batteries. I would maybe add another SD card for your camera–I take a lot of video on my DSLR so I fill my cards up a little quicker. Over from The SITS Girls!
No tickets needed if staying at a Disney Resort!! Magic Bands… Awesome hands/ticket free invention!
Yes, you can use MagicBands if you are staying at the resort or are an annual pass holder. The rest of the public will still use paper tickets.
We always pack Disney window clings to put on our hotel window!! Makes it easier to spot our room, plus it just makes it fun!!
That’s a great idea. . . . . just thinking. . . . we’ll be celebrating our granddaughters birthday while we’re there. . . . might try to find some birthday window clings. . . . . where can I find some window clings by the way?
Look at Dollar Store. They have tons of Disney items! I am not sure if they have window clings, but they do have Disney Magnets.
You can make your own! Use favorite designs from coloring books, magazines, etc., trace onto wax paper then use Tulip (puff) craft paint to paint them, let dry, peel off, & stick on window. Ta-da, homemade window clings for any occasion! =)
That is a great idea!
powerstrip! If you have lots of electronics (phones/iPads) you run out of outlets quick. Also some thing new we took on our most recent trip was a portable battery charger that had USB ports so when our phone batteries started to get low (using it for the my disney experience app and as our camera) we could charge our phones while walking around the park.
You are so right! They put the outlets in the oddest of places and there are never enough!
Power strip for the room is genius! Great list!
Thanks. That Power Strip is truly a life saver!
Love your list, I always seem to forget my power strip, I need to keep one in my “adventure” bag. Since I am semi local I never know if I am going to stay overnight or not, so my adventure bag is kept in my car for unexpected adventures. I can’t live without my umbrella and mister fan, especially during the summer heat. I got a umbrella from Target that blocks UV rays, it is amazing! Thanks so much for linking up at the Magical Monday Blog hop!
That Mister Fan is a must for summer months at the parks!
As a little special surprise I sometimes will bring an air freshener or wall plug in that has a distinctive scent so that the family whenever they smell the scent again it reminds them of our Magical experience at Disney
That’s a great idea!
