4 essentials to pack for your WDW Vacation!
{1} Day Pack
Disney welcomes you to check in early and enjoy the day by visiting the pool, restaurants or a park.
Be sure to pack a day bag for your adventures, including your swimsuits, a change of clothes, and SUNSCREEN!
{2} Sunscreen
You’ll probably remember to pack a large bottle of sunscreen in your checked baggage….but don’t forget a smaller version for your carry-on bag.
If you arrive at your resort early and head to the pool or the parks, you’ll want to have sunscreen in hand, not in your suitcase being delivered to your room later in the day.
{3} Power Strip
Smartphones, tablets, cameras, etc all need to be charged each night. A power strip will help keep your chargers in one place & give you the extra outlets for all of your tech.
{4} Water Bottle
Keep hydrated during your vacation! Pack water bottles for each family member. Free cups of ice water are available throughout the parks.
{Bonus Tip}
No need to pack beach towels, especially if you are trying to maximize the space in your luggage. Free Towels are available at the Resort Pools, Rental Towels are available at the Water Parks, and Disney Beach Towels make great souvenirs (available at various shops throughout the Resorts & Parks).
