Packing for Trip

Some ideas of things to add to a normal Disney packing list1

  1. Noise makers (white noise for sleeping)
  2. Night lights
  3. Crib/Pack-n-play. (Disney hotels can provide these on request)
  4. Water bottles & sippy cups
  5. Swim diaper
  6. Baby monitor
  7. Long distance travel entertainment
  8. Kid ID bracelets (your name / phone on it)

What to bring into parks

The best way to find out what you need is to take a half-day trip to a local zoo, park, botanical gardens bringing everything you think you’ll need at Disney. What’s missing will become obvious, and what’s not needed will feel like dead weight.

  1. Water bottles for kids filled up, I recommend Camelbak water bottles
  2. Ear muffs or plugs (for kids that don’t like loud show, parades, fireworks)
  3. Autograph book and pen
  4. Diapers/wipes
  5. Nursing cover
  6. Snacks/bars
  7. Ponchos (Disney sells them if you forget)
  8. Warm layers for kids (indoors at Disney can be heavily air-conditioned)
  9. Change of clothes for kids
  10. Stroller
  11. Baby carrier
  12. Smartphone with outlet charging cable
  13. Battery pack life extender for phone
  14. My Disney Experience smartphone app
  15. Ziploc bags (wet clothes, togo-ing food)
  16. Camera
  17. Tickets
  18. IDs
  19. Money
  20. Formula/baby food
  21. Any meals or food you want that doesn’t require cooking (Disney permits you to bring your own food into parks)
