Your Perfect Disney World Park Bag
What actually goes in my bag every single Walt DIsney World park day, light enough to carry from rope drop to fireworks.
Nobody warns you and everybody needs it. Heat plus miles of walking equals chafing, this little stick genuinely saves the day.
Anti Chafing Balm
Pop them in on day one, before you need them. A blister at 10am can wreck a whole park day.
Blister Plaster
These are my go‑to ears because they’re actually comfortable, which feels like a miracle if you’ve ever spent a full park day with a headband slowly trying to saw your skull in half. MagicMakerEars is one of those Etsy shops you bookmark immediately ...
MagicMakerEars on Etsy - The BEST Mickey Ears!
I always pack my Nikes for Disney because they’re the only trainers I trust not to betray me halfway through a 25k‑step day. They’re lightweight, they don’t rub, and they survive the “I’m power‑walking to make my Lightning Lane” pace without feeling ...
My go-to Nike Trainers (Park-Day Friendly!)
This lives in my park bag because it’s the only camera that gives you proper Disney footage without needing a whole backpack dedicated to tech. It’s tiny, stabilised, and makes everything look like you planned a cinematic montag. The colours are gorg...
Osmo Pocket 3 - My vlogging park camera!
To channel my inner Beyonce, this is the fan I throw in my park bag because Florida heat does not care about your plans, your outfit, or your will to live. The battery lasts ages, the LED display is actually useful, and it’s powerful enough that you ...
Portable Fan – The ‘I Refuse To Melt’ Essential
This goes straight in my park bag because Disney days absolutely chew through battery life — Genie+, Lightning Lanes, photos, videos, maps, mobile ordering… your phone basically works harder than you do. The Heyday 5000mAh is small enough to fit in a...
Heyday 5000mAh Power Bank – The ‘My Phone Is Not Dying Today’ Essential
This goes in my park bag every single trip because it’s the only sunscreen that doesn’t make me feel like I’ve dipped my face in chip fat. It’s completely invisible — no white cast, no weird smell, no “my makeup is sliding off my face by 11am” drama....
Supergoop Unseen Sunscreen SPF 50 – The ‘I’m Not Frying in Florida’ Essential
This goes straight in my park bag because it’s the one hand sanitiser that doesn’t smell like a hospital and doesn’t leave your hands feeling like they’ve been laminated. The Disney edition is ridiculously cute — the little Minnie bow case clips onto...
Disney x Touchland Special Edition Set – The Cute-but-Useful Park Bag Essential
My In-Flight / Travel Essentials
This lives in my in‑flight bag because I refuse to step off a long‑haul looking puffy, grey, and like I’ve slept inside a suitcase. Auto Correct is one of the only eye creams that actually does something mid‑flight — the caffeine helps with puffiness...
Sunday Riley Auto Correct Eye Cream – The ‘I Need to Look Alive After This Flight’ Essential
I fully admit I am that person who puts eye gels on mid‑flight, and honestly? No regrets. These Patchology night gels are the only ones that actually make a difference when you’re trapped in cabin air that’s determined to dehydrate you into a raisin....
Patchology FlashPatch Night Eye Gels – Because Yes, I Am That Person
These are the socks I pack because I’m not playing games with long‑haul swelling, dead legs, or that horrible “my calves feel like they’ve been inflated” sensation you get somewhere over the Atlantic. They’re not cute, they’re not stylish, and they’r...
Compression Flight Socks – Are They Sexy? No. Are They Essential? Yes.
