Disney World is a lot more than just purchasing your tickets and then heading on over to the Most Magical Place On Earth.

Fantasyland
We know it takes a lot of prepping ahead of time to know exactly what you need to make sure your vacation is as perfect as can be. And as your Disney Guide Besties, we know exactly what items you should bring to avoid any unnecessary purchases when you get to the resort, along with some fun ways to effortlessly add some flair to your trip.
Forget cash, bring these Disney Gift Cards with you instead!
Long gone are the days of using cash or even your card around the parks. Of course, you still can. But a Disney Gift Card can be used for anything at Disney World. From dining to souvenirs, you can even use it to purchase theme park tickets or to pay for your hotel stay. Disney Gift Cards never expire and it’s a great way to keep your wallet nice and spacious and to avoid the struggle of handling change. They’re also a great way to stay on budget!
Just keep in mind that Disney Gift Cards are only redeemable in the U.S. This is also a great way to budget and know ahead of time how much you’ll be spending during your trip. You can also save some money by using Disney Gift cards if you buy them price places like Sam’s Club or Target!
Disney Ponchos don’t cut it, but this Rain Jacket is a life (and wallet) saver!
Of course, you can still rely on a Disney poncho. But we are going to warn you, they’re PRICEY! It’s very rainy here in Florida, especially during the summer, but instead of letting that get in the way of your dream vacation, beat the rain with this Rain Poncho Set. These ponchos comes in a pack of 2 and is still wayyyy less than the price tag of one at the parks. And because they’re designed as a rain jacket, they’re a lot easier to put on and take off — something that will come in handy with how unpredictable the weather can be. Better quality and a better price? Count us in!
Forget boring iPhone pics! Capture every magical memory with this Digital Camera
BONUS!! Remember the good ‘ol days when everyone would pull out a digital camera to take a pic in front of Cinderella Castle instead of their smartphones? Well, we’re petitioning to bring that back! This Digital Camera is a great way to capture every memory of your trip without needing to spend big bucks on a professional camera. Old-school-style pics are very in right now too, as the digital camera craze is definitely back.
This Polaroid adds all the fun retro vibes to your trip!
Another fun way to take pics of your trip is with this Instax Polorid Camera. When we think of Disney World, sometimes the first thing that pops into our head is all the aesthetic pics people have taken in the 70s & 80s that we wish we could recreate. This Polaroid camera can definitely give your pics that vibe effortlessly, making them even more creative, with the added benefit of having a tangible picture to hold on to and look back on for years to come.
And there you have it! Some items to bring for your next Disney trip. Stay tuned as we bring you all the latest in Disney tips and tricks.
