How To Pack the Perfect Disney Park Bag

Disney World is a magical place that offers days full of fun and adventure, so be sure that you are as comfortable as possible.

To make your experience enjoyable and stress-free, here are a few tips on how to pack your Disney park bag:

1. Plan Ahead

Please list the essentials you must take and check them twice. This will help ensure that you don’t forget anything important.

2. Choose the Right Bag

A very important step in packing the perfect Disney park bag is choosing the right bag. You want something big enough to carry all the necessary stuff but not too big that it becomes cumbersome all day.

A backpack or a small cross-body bag would be the best option.

3. Pack Light

You will be doing lots and lots of walking, so it is best to keep your bag light and minimal.

4. Keep it Organized

Pack your bag in a way that makes it easy to find what you need when you need it. Use small soft containers or compartments to separate items and prevent them from getting lost in the bottom of your bag.

5. Leave Some Space in Your Bag

While packing your park bag, make sure that you leave enough space in the bag for the stuff that you are going to buy from the parks, such as souvenirs.

Or some extra clothing item that you might be wearing on a cold morning and might take off as the day gets warm.

6. Don’t Carry Too Much

Pack efficiently and try to fit everything you need in one or two bags so you don’t have to face the hassle of keeping track of all of them.

7. Label your bags

Write your contact information on paper and label your bag with it. If you lose it, you will have a greater chance of getting it back.

What To Pack in Disney Park Bag

Here are 24 essential items that you can consider packing in your Disney park bag:

1. Sunscreen

Okay, your days at Disney parks will be hot as you might know that Florida’s sun is very strong. So sunscreen is one of those essential items that you must carry with you.

Apply some of it before going, then reapply every few hours while in the parks. This will not only keep you comfortable but will also protect you from those skin allergies and sunburns harmful UV rays may cause.

2. Sunglasses

While packing your park bag, sunscreen and sunglasses go hand in hand.

Keep a pair of sunglasses to shield your eyes from the sun and glare from water and keep you comfortable all day. You can thank me later.

3. Hat

A wide-brimmed hat is also good for added face, neck, and scalp protection. It can also save you from the headache the strong Florida sun can give you.

4. Refillable Water Bottle

While you are strolling in the parks all day, staying hydrated is very important, especially on hot summer days. Buying water bottles from the park whenever you need one would be expensive.

So carry a water bottle to sip cold water and relax from the heat. A refillable bottle is a good option compared to several small plastic bottles.

When you run out, there are a lot of quick service spots where the staff would be more than happy to refill your bottle with ice-cold water.

5. Misting Fans/Cooling Towels

Consider having a misting fan or a few cooling towels if you can. They are going to help you to beat the heat.

6. Phone/Camera

Keep your phone/camera handy to capture all the memorable moments from your day at the park.

7. Portable Phone Charger

Before going to the parks, ensure your cell phone and camera are fully charged.

But still, in case, keep a portable phone charger and some extra batteries with you because any Disney trip would be incomplete without those memorable photos and funny videos with your beloved characters at your favorite places.

8. Snacks

Pack healthy snacks like granola bars or fruits to keep you going throughout the day, especially if you have kids.

It would be good to have a few healthy items with you instead of running to buy some now and then.

9. Autograph Book and Pen

If you or your kids are a fan of Disney characters, an autograph book and pen can be a fun addition to your park bag.

You can buy such stuff from the parks, but bringing it along will keep you hassle-free and save you some bucks.

10. Wallet

Don’t forget your wallet and have enough money to cover admission, food, and shopping. Moreover, if your wallet has enough space, you can put your tickets and cards inside. It will make your bag more organized.

11. First Aid Kit

Pack a few band-aids, antiseptic wipes, and pain relievers in case of minor emergencies. You can get them at the parks, too, free of cost, but consider packing them to be on the safe side.

Also, pack repellent bug spray to protect yourself from pesky bugs during the hot summer months and medications for other known allergies (if any.)

12. Comfortable Shoes

A day at the parks means you will be on your feet all day. So if you have space, keep an extra pair of shoes. If you don’t have enough space, extra socks are must-haves.

You will probably wear closed footwear, and your feet may get sweaty in summer. So it is better to be safe and pack a few extra pairs.

13. Light Jacket or Sweater

Florida winters have comfortable, warm days, but the nights and early mornings are chilly. So bring a lightweight jacket or sweater to keep you warm.

Even if you are visiting in summer, you should have something to layer on as the indoor attractions would be completely air-conditioned and very cold.

14. Poncho

To keep up with the sudden downpours of Florida, make sure to pack a poncho. Packing them in a bag and not buying from the parks will save you money.

15. Stroller Cover

When you pack a poncho, pack a stroller cover if you plan to carry a stroller with you too.

16. Umbrella

It would be good to have a small umbrella to keep you dry in case of rain, but a rain poncho would be enough if you have space issues.

17. Map of the Park

Study the park map before and carry it to better understand its layout and other attractions.

18. Diapers and Wipes

Keep a few diapers and wet wipes to save the day if you have small children. But if you run out of them, don’t worry; you can also get them at the baby care centers.

19. Change of Clothes

If you are going to ride on the water rides, bring a change of clothes and a towel too.

20. Hand Sanitizer/Face Mask

Bring hand sanitizer and keep your hands clean and germ-free throughout the day. You can also bring along face coverings.

Although they are no longer mandatory (as of now.) Those who still want to wear them are more than welcome.

21. Disney Pins

If you like pin trading, don’t forget to buy and pack your initial pin set. Going to trade. You can also pack a lanyard to show that awesome pin collection you will have.

22. Tissues

Pack a few for any unexpected spills or runny noses.

23. Ziplock Bags

Bring a few Ziplock bags to store any wet or dirty clothing items. Also, they will be useful to keep your belongings safe on the water rides where you tend to get wet.
