Park Bag Essentials
Everything I recommend for theme parks!
This UV umbrella is a GAME CHANGER especially for parks that don't have a lot of shade - bring your own shade!
Seniny Windproof Automatic Travel Umbrella
Best portable fan I've ever used. Powerful, can be worn under your shirt or on the lanyard. This makes summertime in FL theme parks much more doable.
Arctic Air Breeze Jet Wearable 3-Speed Fan
Must-have for water parks (or the beach!)
JOTO Waterproof Phone Case Up to 7" - Black
I LOVE these lights for attaching to strollers to make them much easier to find in the dark. :)
Mandiq 4 Pack 10ft 30 LED Fairy Lights
Do not let your stroller get caught in a sudden downpour! :) I keep this on the stroller at all times and cover it completely any time we leave the stroller to get on rides because rain can happen quickly with little notice!
Bemece Universal Stroller Rain Cover - Waterproof, Windproof, Breathable
Simple and durable ponchos, I've even reused them multiple times after drying them in the room. The cord on the hood keeps it from blowing off during storms.
TUNCHMO 6 Pack Disposable Rain Ponchos - 50% Thicker
Don't lose your magic bands! These help hold them on in case the strap pops open.
Bitbelt
Cruise Must-haves
SO much is already included in your cruise but these are some things I've found useful!
Plugs are very limited in cruise staterooms and are often not next to the bed so these are great for charging multiple devices or using for a CPAP machine.
HANYCONY Flat Plug Power Strip 6 Outlets 3 USB
Did you know most cruise ships have magnetic walls in the staterooms? These are great for storing hats, bags, bathroom organizers, lanyards, etc.
E BAVITE Black Swivel Swing 30LBS Magnet
Dramamine works pretty quickly to help with any seasickness. If it's your first cruise especially, bring this!
Dramamine Motion Sickness Less Drowsy, 8 Ct
Traveling with Kids
Things to keep kids occupied other than tablets (but tablets are great too!)
SO FUN! Especially for kids who like Minecraft or building things, these magnetic blocks in a convenient travel tin keep my kids occupied while traveling!
WMXDU Mini Magnetic Blocks 35 PCS STEM Toy
This is my OG travel go-to for kids! It keeps them occupied while traveling or sitting in restaurants, waiting rooms etc. So many ways to play with them and they go right back in the tube easily.
Wikki Stix for Doodlers - Pack of 24 Neon & Primary Colors
Couldn't be simpler! These are perfect for all ages (I originally recommended for babies and toddlers but my kids have not outgrown these yet, even the preteen!) They stick to any smooth surfaces or even foreheads 😆
Fat Brain Toys Squigz Starter Set, 24 Pc
I love a good travel planner & letting kids get involved in the planning process! Half the magic is the excitement leading up to the trip and it becomes a nice memento afterwards.
Travel Planner Checklist
This 4-pack is a great deal and these can keep kids occupied with drawing, playing tic tac toe and other games while traveling.
TECJOE 8.5" LCD Writing Tablet for Kids
This is the perfect stroller organizer for Disney! It fits most strollers and the sizes of the pouches and cup holders are great.
Disney Baby J.L. Childress Stroller Caddy - Mickey Mouse
Travel Must-Haves in General
Good for any trip!
Perfect for keeping your dirty or wet clothes separate from clean ones! Then you take it home, unzip to release the mesh laundry bag and wash without having to touch anything.
STNKY Bag Pro - Laundry Bag for Health & Travel
The PERFECT “personal item” sized bag for budget airlines like Spirit and Frontier. I have avoided so many baggage fees using these. :)
lifwimner Spirit Airlines Personal Item Bag 30L
Another hack to avoid baggage fees! Neck pillows do not count as luggage or personal items because they are worn on your neck. This one can carry SO much!
Kunyi Travel Pillow Stuff with Clothes - Plush
These have been a game changer especially for split stays or for packing my kids clothes in 1 bag without getting anything mixed up. It makes packing back up a breeze too!
