If you take a backpack or purse with you to Walt Disney World, you might have a list of favorite items you always bring with you into the parks.
What do you take in your bag?
But if you like to be EXTRA prepared, we have a list of 10 items you can find at Target that you may or may not have thought of and could save you a LOT of trouble!
We explored the Target website to find the best items you can take with you in the parks that also fit in any average sized backpack or purse.
Staying Cool and Hydrated
Stainless Steel Water Bottle
On hot days in Disney Parks the thirst is real. This 17.5oz Double Vacuum Stainless Steel Water Bottle is small enough to fit into a bag but will keep your water ice cold, even in the heat.

With more refillable water stations popping up around Disney Parks, a water bottle is an easy way to keep water on you at all times. This water bottle is only $6.00!

Pedialyte Electrolyte Packets
Speaking of thirst, it’s very easy to get dehydrated in the Disney Parks, especially in the summertime, and especially when your typical Disney day may consist of Starbucks coffee and drinking around the world in EPCOT. These Pedialyte Electrolyte Packets aren’t just for kids, and they’re light enough that you can carry several packets at a time.

All you have to do is pour one packet into 8oz of water for quick rehydration. For $8.79 for 8 packets and 4 different flavors, we think these are a must have for all Disney Parks visits.

Misting Fan
We’ve talked about the Florida heat and how to stay hydrated, but how do we stay cool? This O2COOL Elite Handheld Misting Fan! It mists, it fans, it does it all.

For $8.99, make room in your bag for this baby to help cool you down when the heat is too much.

Chapstick
After all the salty pretzels and beer, your lips will probably be thirsty. Never forget a tube of chapstick in your bag, and we love Burt’s Bees Lip Balm.

These come in a pack of 2 so when you inevitably lose one tube you automatically have a backup! These go for $7.49.
Keep your lips hydrated with Burt’s Bees!
For Your Skin
Mini Sunscreen
This might be a no brainer for some of you, but sunscreen is incredibly important in the Florida sun and you need to reapply sunscreen every few hours for it to be effective.

Target has the Banana Boat Ultra Sport Clear Sunscreen Spray in SPF 30 in a 1.8oz travel size and it’s lightweight and small enough to fit into every bag for only $1.99!

First Aid Kit
Okay, we know what you might be thinking: there’s a First Aid Station in every Disney Park! But what if you’re halfway across the park from the First Aid Station and you need a bandaid?
©Target
This Travel First Aid Kit will fit into most bags, even small bags, and prevents you from having to trek across the park to find a bandaid. We think $4.99 is worth it for that convenience.

Avoid the Chafe
Anti Chafe Balm
Waddling around Disney World due to chafing is not exactly the park visit of our dreams. The Body Glide Original Anti Chafe Balm comes in a tiny 0.5oz size convenient for your pocket or your bag.
©Target
A quick swipe of this on your thighs and you can kiss chafing goodbye. It even works on your heels or toes if the cute shoes you decided to wear keep giving you blisters! For $7.49, this is a must have for all Disney Parks trips.

Blister Band-Aids
If your anti chafe balm fails, there’s always blister bandaids to the rescue! Keep these Band-Aid Brand Hydro Seal Adhesive Bandages for Heel Blisters on you at all times to avoid that miserable feeling of your shoe rubbing on your blisters when you still have a whole day ahead of you in the Parks.
©Target
A box of 6 blister Band-Aids will run you $3.99.

Keep Your Money and Tickets Organized
Small Card Case
If you want to prioritize space in your bag, a giant wallet isn’t exactly helpful. This Small Card Case by A New Day let’s you keep all your essential cards with you while taking up almost no space!
©Target
It comes in several different colors and only costs $6.00.
Pick your small card case color here!
Stay Charged
Portable Battery
It may surprise you how quickly your phone battery drains, especially as you check the My Disney Experience App for wait times and reservations a million times throughout the day. Don’t leave for a day at the Parks without a portable battery!
©Target
We love this Anker PowerCore 10400mAh 2-Port Power Bank with 2 USB ports so 2 people can charge at the same time. It’s not cheap at $29.99 but definitely a must have in Disney Parks. If you want to get one in the parks you can look into the FuelRod option.
Stay charged by grabbing your own power bank here!

The Body Glide was the best addition to my bag. I used it multiple times throughout the day. Whenever I’d start feeling a hot spot on my foot, I’d stop and put some on. I never got a blister , best thing ever!
