items Planning a trip to Disney World with a 5-month-old requires a different level of strategy. Between the Florida heat and the sensory overload, these are the items I’m packing to ensure our daughter stays cool, comfortable, and on schedule while we nav...

Theme Park Cooling & Sun Protection
Florida’s heat is the biggest challenge when traveling with an infant. These are the specific tools I’m packing to ensure my daughter stays cool, shielded from UV rays, and comfortable during those long stretches in the stroller while we explore the ...
I’m bringing two of these for the stroller. They wrap around the bumper bar and keep a constant breeze on her, which is the only way to survive the Orlando humidity.
Stroller Fan
This is better than a blanket because it’s breathable mesh and offers UPF 50+ protection. It helps her nap in the park by blocking out the visual distractions of the crowds.
SnoozeShade UK | The UK's best-selling safest baby sun & sleep ...
Since she’s 5 months, I’m prioritizing a mineral-based, non-toxic sunscreen. This one is highly rated for babies and doesn't feel greasy in the heat.
Thinkbaby Safe Sunscreen SPF 50+ 6oz
A classic for the photos, but I specifically looked for one with a soft chin strap so it actually stays on while she’s practicing her new movement skills.
Baby Mickey Ears Hat
This doubles as a high-chair cover later on. It’s made of breathable knit fabric, so I can nurse comfortably in the parks without either of us overheating.
Multi-Use Cover - Classic
I chose this for Disney because it’s incredibly lightweight and has a one-handed fold, which is a must when you’re hopping on and off the Disney buses.

Park Gear & All-Day Comfort
Being in the parks from morning until fireworks requires gear that is both functional and stylish. This section focuses on the organization and safety items that keep our 'on-the-go' nursery running smoothly
This is my main park bag. It’s stylish enough for photos but fits my phone, park pass, and a spare pacifier so I’m not digging through a heavy backpack all day.
Crossbody
Theme park days are long. I added this to our travel stroller to give her extra cushioning for those long stretches of being pushed around the parks.
SKIP HOP MEMORY FOAM STROLLER LINER
Florida afternoon rain is no joke. I’m packing a ventilated cover that stays in the stroller basket so our gear stays dry during those sudden downpours.
Stroller Rain Cover, Universal Accessory
I never go into the parks without this tucked into my stroller basket. The Baby Care Centers are great, but if we're in a long queue or across the park, I can just unzip the extra-wide pad and do a quick, hygienic change on any flat surface. It’s muc...
The Best Portable Changing Pad - The Skip Hop Pronto!
I’m packing these as her backup outfit. If she has a blowout in the park, the magnetic closures make it so much faster to change her than fumbling with snaps in a busy restroom.
Modal Nightwear for Babies
I only use these for our trips. They are 99.9% water, which is perfect for cleaning her face and hands after she’s been in the Florida sun and humidity.
WaterWipes Sensitive+ Newborn & Baby Wipes
I always keep this clipped to the outside of my stroller. Disney is magical, but park trash cans aren't always right next to you when a mess happens. These bags are lavender-scented and infused with baking soda, which is the only way we manage to kee...
Arm & Hammer™ Change & Toss Diaper Bag Dispenser
My top travel hack for the Florida humidity. I use these to pre-pack 'emergency outfits' for my daughter. If she has a blowout or gets soaked in a sudden Disney downpour, I have a dry set of clothes ready, and I can use the empty bag to seal away the...
Ziploc Slider Storage Bags (Gallon Size)
I found this to be a lifesaver for our afternoons by the resort pool. It gives my daughter a safe, shaded spot to nap or play while we take a few minutes to relax, and the mesh sides keep her cool while protecting her from the Florida sun and bugs.
Fisher-Price Portable Bassinet On-The-Go Dome
Feeding & Soothing on the Go
These are great for when we’re eating at the resort or in the parks. I can just toss them afterward rather than carrying messy gear back to the room.
Babebay Disposable Stick-on Placemats 40 Pack
If a pacifier hits the ground at Disney, I want it sanitized immediately. These are easy to keep in my Emmafy bag for quick cleaning.
Dr. Fischer Pacifier Wipes, 100% Food Grade
Self-care is part of the trip! I’m bringing these to stay hydrated while I’m breastfeeding or managing the park heat so I don't wear out.
