food IS a theme park
We know packing for Disney always consists of the same thing: Toothbrush? Check. Shoes? Check. Sunscreen that’s pretty much necessary thanks to the unforgivable Florida heat? Check X100.

The basics are necessary, but there are some items that real Disney pros pack to avoid any hiccups during their trip, and we think these should be just as necessary as shoes and sunscreen.

Disney World is a pretty magical place.
Magic Kingdom
And while there are countless guides and tips on how you can maximize your time there, sometimes it’s just as important to break the “rules” and let yourself enjoy Disney World in your own way. So, let’s go over five Disney World “rules” that we can’t help but break (and why that’s perfectly okay).
Hello. Former Disney World Cast Member here. Even two years after working in Magic Kingdom, EPCOT, and Disney’s Hollywood Studios, there are still a few remnants of the job that stuck around. Yes, my old Cast Member nametag has a special spot on my desk. And yes, I still have a pile of stickers I took home after the job. (Bet you didn’t know there’s a pirate Mickey sticker, eh?) But one of the most useful things I kept was allllll the notes I took in my notes app on my phone. Wanna see?
Cinderella Castle
As it turns out, when you work as a Disney World Cast Member, there’s a lot to remember. You have to keep track of showtimes, dates, stories, and all kinds of other information. It’s a lot, trust me. But even now, years later, some of those notes still come in handy! And now, I am passing my knowledge on to you, dear reader.
You’ve finally made it. You’re in Disney World.
Please, nobody ask me for a hair tutorial next. This photo was a freak accident/miracle. 😂
You’ve been waiting for this moment for months, maybe even years, and you’re finally, FINALLY strolling down Main Street, dodging Mickey balloons, overzealous guests, and the sweet, almost-cavity-like smell wafting from the Confectionery. You almost make it to the Hub, and you turn, ready to take THE perfect photo in front of Cinderella Castle. But oh, no…
The Casey’s Corner pianist has stopped playing music. Someone has tripped over the trolley tracks. You hear a record scratch, but maybe you imagined that.
Because the makeup on your face is melting faster than a Mickey Premium Ice Cream Bar on a HOT Magic Kingdom day.
DON’T WORRY. I have the solution. 🫡
Disney World can be pretty overwhelming and confusing, and it may feel hard to figure out where to begin.
Magic Kingdom
If you find yourself in this situation, you may turn to people who have visited before/visited recently and ask them for advice. It’s a great idea to turn to them; HOWEVER…how much do you trust these people? Like, REALLY trust them? No, your Disney World trip isn’t life or death, but you are spending tons of money to have the best vacation you can, and sometimes if people lead you astray, it’s game over. If you hear any of the following tips, we advise you to RUN.
Booking flights is one of the most dreaded aspects of traveling — aside from actually flying.
If you’re traveling to Orlando soon, listen up!
It’s expensive, it’s hard to know whether you booked the right time to fly and got the best possible seats, and that’s before you even have to step foot in the airport. A lot of folks rely on airlines like Spirit for budget-friendly fares and ease with booking. However, for those who rely on Spirit Airlines to get to Disney World, there will now be one less route.
