What To Pack for Disneyland in October

Disneyland is one of the best theme parks for people of all ages. But uncomfortable attire or wearing the wrong shoes can make your trip painful.

A little planning goes a long way on such trips, especially if you are visiting Disneyland in October.

Let’s dive into the comprehensive list of things you need to pack for Disneyland in October.

7 Essential Things To Pack for Your October Disneyland Trip

Here are some essential things that you must carry with you on your trip to Disneyland:

1. Power Bank

I’m sure you don’t want to miss out on clicking pictures when you dress up as a Disney princess or complete your conquest of riding the Space Mountain.

Additionally, you’ll be using your phone to check the rides timetable on the Disney app.

All these things can chew up your phone’s battery. So, don’t forget to bring a power bank because you don’t want to find your phone dead when it’s time for the night parade.

2. Food and Snacks

With an abundance of rides and entertainment programs to enjoy, you’ll surely gain an appetite. It is already a little expensive when you consider the tickets, food, drinks, and the little shopping for souvenirs.

You can easily cut down your expenses if you bring your own snacks with you. This way, you can enjoy your favorite snacks while watching your favorite shows.

3. Water Bottle

You should carry a travel water bottle for every family member because you need to stay hydrated the entire day.

There are water fountains around the park where you can refill your bottles, so don’t worry if you are carrying a small bottle.

In fact, it is advised to carry a travel bottle because it is handy and doesn’t add much weight to your backpack.

4. Rain Gear

Even though it is unlikely for it to rain, sometimes October experiences heavy rainfalls in Disneyland. It is better to be prepared for such days rather than waiting under the roof for the clouds to scatter.

Bring a raincoat or a tiny umbrella for every person with you.

5. Pennies

When you get cash from the ATM or bank, be sure to get some pennies for the penny machines in Disneyland. You can also start your collection by purchasing penny collector books at Disneyland.

This is frequently one of the Disney packing list items that get the least attention, but you don’t make that mistake.

6. Mini First-Aid Kit

This goes for all trips and vacations because a first-aid kit will come in handy when your kid falls while running or you get a shoe bite from wearing new shoes.

However, there are medical stations around for help if there is an emergency.

7. Camera

While a phone camera can suffice for some quick pictures and selfies, it is best to bring a camera along for some beautiful pictures.

If you are into photography, you don’t want to miss out on taking some magical pictures at this wonderland.

What To Wear in Disneyland

When you’re making a checklist of things to pack for Disneyland, don’t forget to add comfortable clothes to the list. October has a moderate temperature, so you can wear light layers, and you can also wear shorts.

Here is an essential checklist for the types of clothes you’ll need at Disneyland:

1. Comfortable Pair of Shoes

Comfortable shoes are a “must-have” because Disneyland is a very big place, and you’ll be walking for the most part of the day. It is advisable to get an extra pair of shoes.

Speaking from experience, your feet might hurt even though you think that you brought a comfortable pair of shoes. Bringing an extra pair can help you switch shoes and avoid shoe bites.

2. Some Light Layers

Even though October won’t be chilly enough to bring a jacket, a good rule of thumb is to bring some light layers in case the temperature drops in the evening.

You can check the weather forecast to be extra careful about what to bring.

3. Comfortable Clothing

There is no strict dress code in Disneyland. So, you can choose to dress up in fancy clothes or choose a casual approach. But make sure that you are wearing comfortable clothes unless you plan on changing them throughout the day.

Shorts and t-shirts are the preferred option, but you can choose what you feel will be comfortable for you.

Note: Don’t confuse casual with sloppy; dress to impress!

4. Hat and Sunglasses

October marks the fall season, but you’ll still encounter brightly shining sun in the mornings, so don’t forget to bring a large hat and cool sunglasses. It will give your casual clothing an elegant touch.

Conclusion

You can save a lot of money if you plan your trip in advance and carry all the essentials. As per my experience, the most expensive will be buying quick snacks and water.

So, plan your meals and carry some snacks accordingly. Don’t forget that you’ll be spending an entire day inside the park, so comfortable clothing is a must.
