Disney Packing Essentials You’ll Wish You Brought

Packing for Disney can be overwhelming — but a few smart choices can save you money, stress, and even keep the magic alive all day long. Here are the essentials seasoned Disney travellers never forget:

1. Refillable Water Bottles

Stay hydrated with free ice water at quick-service counters. Bring bottles that are easy to refill throughout the parks.

2. Ponchos & Fans

Florida weather is unpredictable. Ponchos and small handheld fans (or misting fans) are much cheaper if you buy them before you go.

3. Comfortable Shoes

Expect to walk 8–12 miles a day. Pack broken-in trainers or cushioned sandals — and bring blister plasters, just in case.

4. Portable Power Bank

Between Genie+, photos, and TikTok posts, your phone will drain fast. A reliable power bank is a lifesaver.

5. Snacks & Zip Bags

Granola bars, sweets, or trail mix help save time and money. Zip bags also keep snacks (and wet ponchos!) organised.

Bonus tip: Pack themed T-shirts or accessories at home — they’re cheaper, and wearing them together adds to the magic.
