We go to Disney World every single day, and that means we’ve pretty much perfected what to bring in our park bags.
But that doesn’t mean there aren’t items we reach for more than others! If you’re trying to travel light and want to know what the absolute essentials are for your next Disney World trip, you’ve certainly come to the right place. While we might have a park bag full of essentials, here’s what our team actually reached for most during our last Disney World trips.
Get the FuelRod Charger Kit 2-pack
FuelRods come fully charged and ready to use with adapters and cables for most smart devices, and the ability to swap instantly for a fully charged Rod at any FuelRod Kiosk at Disney World. FuelRod is also rechargeable with any USB adapter and fits easily in your pocket, making it the perfect park companion.
You’ll never catch us without a pair of sunglasses
We love this 2-pack of inexpensive sunglasses because we don’t have to worry about anything happening to them when we’re at Disney World. They’re lightweight but not flimsy, and we love that the slim design makes them easy to fit into any park bag — even small belt bags.
We love the Mickey Touchland Hand Sanitizer
Add a touch of magic to your Disney World trip with this special edition Disney & Touchland collaboration. This set features Wild Watermelon hydrating hand sanitizer + a timeless Disney’s Mickey Mouse Mist Case. This is a skincare-forward hand sanitizer enriched with aloe vera and essential oils, leaving hands sanitized, hydrated, and delicately scented. Effective against the most common germs.
You can grab our favorite portable fan
Long days at Disney World can get HOT, and having a handheld fan to provide you with a slight breeze when you’re waiting in a long line can make all the difference. We love how portable and small this fan is! Featuring a Fan, Flashlight, and Backup Power Bank, the JISULIFE pocket fan is your summer go-to essential for staying cool on hot days, while offering versatile functionality while you’re in the parks!
Don’t forget antibacterial wipes
Boogie Antibacterial Hand Wipes wipe away dirt, messes, and bacteria from the hands and body when soap and water are not available. The gentle formula is alcohol-free, hypoallergenic, dermatologist-tested, and made with aloe to moisturize the skin, without parabens, sulfates, and phthalates.
We’re always on the hunt for the latest and greatest Disney souvenirs and essentials, so don’t forget to stay tuned to the Disney Food Blog for more!
