Fill You Park Bag Essentials
Every one of these earned its spot the hard way, on a hot day, in a long line, or during a surprise Florida downpour. This is what we tell our clients to pack before they even ask.
Not exactly an essential, but I highly recommed trying a pair or two during the trip and see how you feel about them. This just makes my vacation more fun!
Disney Ears, Hats, & Mickey Mouse Headbands | Disney Store
Lightweight enough to sit under sunglasses all day without making them slide down your face. Perfect for photos without that greasy shine by noon, this is the one that goes on first, before anything else touches your face.
Sun Bum Sunscreen Face Lotion - SPF 50 - Oil-Free, Paraben-Free, Vegan
Shade in the sun, cover in the rain, one umbrella doing both jobs, and it folds down small enough to forget it's even in the bag until you need it.
ShedRain Mini Compact Umbrella
There are strong opinions on wireless versus corded, and mine landed on corded after one too many overheated wireless chargers in the Florida sun. It just works, no babysitting required.
Anker 10000 mAh Power Delivery 22.5W built-in C Cable
Florida's afternoon storms roll in fast, but don't last, so these live in the bottom of our bag all week. Quick to pull on, and then you're back to the parade, instead of ducking under shelter.
Trailmaker 100% Waterproof Hooded Disposable Rain Poncho Coats, for Adults, 10 Pack
Sounds too simple to matter, until you're twenty minutes into a line and everyone needs something to keep them busy. You will not find this in a gift shop, so bring your own, and dispose of responsibly!
Orbit Gum Sugar-Free Spearmint Chewing Gum for the family
Built for a full day of humidity, sweat, and kids running from ride to ride, this is the one you reapply without a second thought.
Sun Bum Original Sunscreen Lotion - SPF 50 - Whole Body, Vegan, Paraben-Free
The charger you don't have to think about. Grab a kit or two before travel, and swap it at any station in the park and keep walking, no searching for an outlet, no waiting by a wall. We do recommend grabbing a few, not just one!
FuelRod USB-C Portable Charger Kit
If you are headed on a Walt Disney World, Disneyland, or Disney Cruise Line vacation, this can really be worth the investment, if convenience is important to you.
Minnie Mouse ''Disney Mom'' MagicBand+ | Disney Store
By midday, this earns its spot more than almost anything else in the bag! Can be worn around your neck, sitting, or held in your hands. It's the difference between a meltdown in line and just another afternoon in the sun.
Portable 3-IN-1 Hand/Neck/Desk Turbo Fan
Nobody wants to talk about this one, but after eight hours of walking in Florida heat, it's the difference between a good day and a day you're counting down the minutes for. MVP for your park bag.
Megababe Thigh Rescue Lotion Anti-Chafe Stick - Trial Size - Pomegranate/Citrus Scent - 0.81oz
Stroller Setup
After planning this many trips, we've learned a stroller is either working for you or against you, there's no in between. Here's exactly how we set ours up, and what we recommend to every family walking into the parks with little ones.
As moms and frequent travelers, we think being prepared for everything in the theme parks is paramount to a good vacation! Keeping your hands just a little more free will make everyone happier, and make getting on and off transportation so much esier...
Large Stroller Clip, 2 Pack Stroller Hooks 6.3"
Sometimes kids just get wet from a rain shower, or by a surprise fountain, so it's always helpful to keep a wet bag on hand, as well as a change of clothes.
Skip Hop Grab and Go Wet/Dry Diaper Bag - Chevron
Mother nature don't check the forecast for your vacation. This keeps both kids dry without pulling everyone under an awning to wait it out.
Double Stroller Rain Cover Universal Rain Cover for Side by Side Baby Stroller
One of my worst vacations was the one where we didn't have a cup holder on our doubl stroller, true story! I highly either making sure you have one ahead of time, or purchasing this and bringing it along with you.
Habitat Universal Stroller Cup Holder Attachment with Phone Holder
This is one of those items I'm always thankful for when we bring it with, even with older kids that are usually phased out of snack cups. Keeping this with us keeps out kids fingers, and out strollers, a little more clean.
Munchkin Snack Catcher - BPA-Free, Silicone, Baby Food Storage
