When planning a once in a lifetime vacation to Disney World, one big question is always asked; What should I bring?? What will I need? 

I have curated a list (Amazon) with must have items I recommend as well as some items you don't want to forget. These are affiliate links: I make a small commission off of any purchase but it doesn't cost you anything extra.

Beyond your MagicBand+, Wallet, Photo ID, and Phone....these items will be life savers. 

• Disney Water Bottle

• Carabiner Clips - good to hook water bottles, etc. to backpack

• Reusable Silicone Straws - because paper straws or not getting any straw is kind of annoying

• Electrolyte Powder Packets - Easily replace your electrolytes lost through sweating with these easy melt tablets

• Portable Phone Charger This is needed. Using the My Disney Experience App in the parks will quickly drain your phone's battery, and the app is necessary to use Genie or Genie+ throughout the day. My recommendation is to purchase 2, in case you will be using your phone more often that you currently do. 

• Disney Rain Poncho Weather in Florida almost always includes rain in the afternoon. This rain is often quick and the skies clear very quickly afterwards. P.S. Here are child-sized ponchos

• Lightweight Backpack or Disney Crossbody Bag

• Body Glide Anti-Chaffing Stick 

• On Cloud Women's Sneakers - These worked best for me to avoid sore feet.

• Men's On Cloud Sneakers

• Fabric Bandages 

• Blister Bandages - because sometimes we forget to put on the preventative bandages

• Sunscreen - small enough for TSA carry on - just put one in everyone's bag

• Face sunscreen - I am particular about not having a zinc-y look so I love this brand for face

• Foldable mini-fan

• FROGG TOGGS Chilly Pads

Don't forget these items from home:

• All chargers (MagicBand+, phone, computer, iPad, step tracker)
• Hats - keep that sun off of your head
• Hair ties for the ladies unless you like the windblown look after a rollercoaster ride
• Lotion if staying at a value property
• Cash (don't forget some smaller bills) - tipping is a nice gesture
