Pack the Magic: My Favorite Must-Haves for a Disney Trip (Adults + Kids) I’m a lifelong Disney lover who alternates between trips to Disneyland and Disney World almost every year (yes, we're that kind of family 😄). Over time, I’ve fine-tuned what’s actually worth packing—whether you’re headed to Main Street U.S.A. or Galaxy’s Edge. This list is full of the MVP items I personally bring or recommend to friends: some make the heat more bearable, some keep the kids happy, and others help save money—because we’re always planning for the next trip, too! ✨ Whether you're a first-time visitor or a Disney regular looking to upgrade your park game, I hope this helps you pack smarter, stay cooler, and sprinkle in a little more magic. Let me know if you’ve tried any of these or if you have favorites of your own—I love chatting all things Disney!

Books are one of the most magical ways to get kids excited for a Disney trip. As a lifelong book lover (Belle is my girl!), I curated this list to help families build anticipation, ease nerves, and spark imagination before visiting Disney World or Disneyland. These books introduce rides, characters, and park details in a fun, kid‑friendly way. I put this list together because books are my favorite way to build excitement before a Disney trip. Just like Belle, I’ve always believed that stories can transport you somewhere magical long before you ever arrive. These are the books that spark imagination, help kids picture the parks, and make the countdown to Disney feel even more special. Don't forget to check out my lists on park essentials & more!
