10 things to put in your bag before heading to the Disney Theme Parks

When you hit the Disney World Theme Parks, you want to be prepared.  If you are a parent, you can become a pack mule very quickly.  Pare it down a bit and take a look at this list.  You don’t need to bring a lot, just what is essential.

1.  Sunscreen – no matter the season, you should ALWAYS wear sunscreen in Florida.  Quickest way to ruin a vacation?  Sun poisoning.

2. Hand sanitizer – use often and liberally.  Second quickest way to ruin a vacation?  Getting the “funk”.

3.  Ponchos – Buy these ahead of time at WalMart.  They only cost a buck and while everyone else is running for cover or to buy a poncho, you can head to the front of the lines in your sporty ponchos!

4.  Water powders – Did you know that if you ask for a “cup of ice water” at any quick service spot, they will happily give it to you for free?  Pop a lemonade powder in it and VOILA – free drink.

5.  Bandaids – and Neosporin.  You can’t imagine all of the places that blisters can pop up.  And they hurt.

6.  Camera – or iPhone to take photos.

7.  Peppermints – Lots of times this can cure an uneasy stomach after a turbulent ride.  OR stick one in your mouth if you are expecting it may make you queasy.  It helps.

8.  Socks/Undergarments – There are many rides at Disney that soak you.  Wet socks = blisters and wet undies = well, ick.

9.  Snacks – Disney allows you to bring snacks in your bag.  Stash stuff that won’t melt or make a mess.  Peanut butter and crackers are our favorites.

10.  Park maps – Grab these when you go in and you will be set for the rest of the day!
