Disney World Planning Tips – Don’t Leave Home Without It

Are you all pack and ready to make your way down to Walt Disney World? Well, open those suitcases back up and add a few more “must” items.

Plastic Bags – Baggies are a must have item at Disney World unless you walk the parks without any extra items. They are perfect for keeping those important, must not get wet items, dry. Not only is Florida known for their sudden showers, but also there are a couple of fun rides that just may leave you and your belongings waterlogged. Nothing will ruin a trip faster than having a blast on Splash Mountain and then ending up with a broken camera or cell phone. Baggies are also great if you are travelling with small children. Pack a few snacks in your backpack to enjoy throughout the day and save a little extra money. Plastic grocery bags are also good to keep your shoes dry on rides like Splash Mountain and Kali River Rapids. They are also good to have to keep your bag dry during those sudden rain showers. Inexpensive ponchos from the Dollar tree would also be worth packing for these same reasons.

Medicine – Everyone that takes prescription medicine remembers to pack them when heading down to WDW. What most people don’t do, is pack a few nonprescription items. When you leave for vacation, you and your family may be feeling great. But what happens when two days into your vacation you get a head cold, heartburn, or upset stomach? Well if you didn’t pack some travel sized over-the-counter medicines, you will be paying a hefty price for some much needed relief. And if WDW doesn’t have what you need, you will end up paying extra to travel elsewhere. In an effort to prevent from getting unwelcomed sicknesses, I also always bring extra hand sanitizer. With the amount of germs crawling on every surface, it’s better to try to prevent sickness so that you can enjoy your vacation.

Batteries – Batteries are essential to a successful vacation. Why? Because your camera is the key to capturing those precious family memories. Of course you can purchase batteries while at the parks, but be prepared to pay extra. For those of you travelling by car, make sure to bring the right size batteries for those portable DVD players or wireless headphones. Nothing worse than a 16 hour drive with a nonfunctioning DVD player.

Sunscreen – Sunscreen in another item that you can purchase down there, but at an elevated price. I’ve noticed that many people visiting during the Fall and Winter months don’t think that they need sunscreen. They end up burning the first day and purchasing sunscreen the next. Save yourself from the burn and the extra cost by packing a bottle.

Gum – While gum is not an essential item, if you like to chew it, pack it. Gum is not sold anywhere on Disney property, so there is no chance to find it if you forget it.
