Disneyland Travel Essentials

items I love Disneyland, but it is not a relaxing vacation. There's lots of prep and planning involved to make it more fun and easy while you're there. I try to pack somewhat light in the parks because I find hauling a lot of stuff around can lead to less ...

Packing
Bags, smaller bags, smallest bags that I like to take with me for general travel, as well as when I'm in the park.
I have had this bag since 2022 and it still looks brand new. I use it everyday because it fits a surprising amount of items and I appreciate the little pockets. I also like that the strap has a clip because more than once I've been holding too many t...
KAVU Mini Rope Sling Pack with Adjustable Strap
I am in love with this bag. I love the little compartments and the separate spot for shoes.
Luka Duffel in Chocolate
Not specific to Disney travel, I had seen someone on Instagram years ago talk about a bag to keep all the chargers, headphones, etc organized while traveling and that she’d been convinced of its greatness after traveling with her boyfriend. I got it,...
FYY Travel Cable Organizer Pouch Waterproof
I have loved using this inflatable booster seat for my older little one because it’s so easy to bring with us!
bubblebum Inflatable Booster Car Seat 40-100 lbs
I am pro stroller at Disneyland when it’s needed. My kid has a lot of sensory differences and having a respite helps him regulate. This stroller was a great choice for us because he’s TALL so it fit him when others didn’t and it folds up and can be w...

How I made my gb pockit stroller into a backpack.

What I use in the park or the hotel to keep my phone charged and happy.
I like to keep a couple portable chargers ready to go when I go on Disney trips because you need to use your phone so much! But I've had this one for about a year and a half and it has been a solid choice for me. I think it's got a pretty typical pri...
INIU Slim 10000mAh USB-C Power Bank
I don't like taking my wallet into the park because it's big and bulky and has a bunch of stuff I don't need, when I need that space in my bag! This phone case will hold my ID and a credit card perfectly. It'll hold a hotel room key also if I'm fine ...
Nvollnoe iPhone 13 Case with Card Holder
If I use a mag safe phone charger then I will opt for this card holder instead of the phone case with the built in card holder. That way I can pop this off to charge my phone and then reattach.
Upgraded Magsafe Wallet, 2 Card Slots, Black
I always have various extra USB cables in the house because we always seem to run low. I tend to buy longer ones because I truly despise having my phone connected to a charging cord that limits my seating options or phone use. These cords do the tric...
DDIYYI 10ft USB C Cable 3-Pack Fast Charge
Sometimes I don't wear pants with pockets in the park, and sometimes my pants have smaller pockets and I spend a lot of a more "active" ride worried I'm about to lose my phone. I also do sometimes get slightly tired of pulling my phone in and out of ...
knIykmr 2 Pack Adjustable Phone Lanyard
Offers me some hands-free selfie options. The magnet is strong too!
TODI MagSafe Phone Grip Stand 3-in-1 Gold
My friend always brings a mini bluetooth speaker when we travel so we can listen to music in the hotel room. It's so small it's no big deal packing it away for traveling. These ones are Disney-themed, which is especially appropriate.
Bitty Boomers Disney Stitch Mini Speaker
Health and Hygiene
There's a lot of people and a lot of sun at Disneyland, I want my skin clean and burn free.
When you have the same complexion as a Victorian-era ghost, you learn that sunscreen goes with you to California regardless of what time of year you visit. I like sticks and I try to that "just put on sunscreen" look. Check and check. I don't find I ...
BLUE LIZARD Mineral Sunscreen Stick SPF 50+
I'm not especially germ-focused but I like a clean table and clean hands when I'm eating. I always bring wipes with me to the park and they have been a lifesaver when eating at a quick service restaurant where tables may not get the wipe downs as oft...
PURELL Hand Sanitizing Wipes Alcohol, 100ct
Shoes make a difference but you're going to feel your feet at the end of a Disney day! I can put this on before bed and it absolutely helps my feet rest up for the next day.
Epsom-It Muscle Lotion Roll On with Arnica 3oz
I really like this for travel because I can keep different medicines separated and the size means it can accommodate a lot of different shapes and sizes. Cuts down on hauling bottles around in a suitcase!
Daviky XXL Weekly Pill Organizer 2x/Day AM PM
Misc
These are things that I want with me at Disneyland but really, they don't have a category other than “I like having this with me!”
It has happened multiple times where someone in my family buys an energy drink at the park, which only comes in a can, and then hops into a line for a ride thinking they've got some time before they'll have to actually board. And then they completely...
DIPESI 6 Pack Reusable Soda Can Lids with Straws
Clothing options
I want to be comfortable in the parks and there is a lot to consider! Will we be taking pictures? Am I going to get wet? Will it be hot during the day and colder at night? Here are some of my choices.
Cute and comfortable skirt in a color that can make me look like I'm Snow White bounding or sporting a Pixar theme.
Made By Johnny Women's Stretchy Flared Mini Skirt XS-3XL
I appreciate that it's cropped without showing off that pale, pale stomach. Goes so nicely with the skirt!
JINKESI Women's Summer Twist Front Tee
Shoes are important at Disneyland and function over form is where it's at a lot of the time. I find my feet last the longest in Nikes these days and I like that I don't typically have to wear them in beforehand!
Nike Air Force 1 '07 Next Nature Women's Shoes
These are my favorite yoga pants to wear in the park. They are lightweight so they never feel hot or constricting. They have side pockets that will easily fit my phone (and feels a lot more secure than a back pocket in some jean shorts) and I really ...
