Has your countdown to visiting Disney World already begun? Here are some of the things we recommend you squeeze into your travel bag. 

Comfortable Shoes

You’ll do a lot of walking around Disney World. The theme park provides complimentary travel options to the different parks and Disney Springs. But once you’re inside you’re on your own and in the summer there’s nothing worse than sore feet. That’s why it’s best to opt for a pair of sneakers with memory foam. These will keep your feet comfortable for the hours that you’ll spend wandering around places like Epcot’s World Showcase. 

Portable Charger

Do you  want to make sure that you don’t miss any magical moments and capture them all on film? Are you determined to guarantee that waiting in line won’t be a bore? Then, you need to make sure that you have a portable charger to take with you around the parks. Disney do sell chargers but these are quite large and bulky. If you check out a shop like Ashley and Constance, you’ll find a great one that fits right in your pocket. 

You Will Get Wet

There are a couple rides around Disney where you will get wet. This isn’t an if, it’s a guarantee. These are Splash Mountain in Magic Kingdom and Kali River Rapids in Animal Kingdom. If you head to Universal while you’re at Disney then there’s also Dudley Do Right’s Ripsaw Falls and Jurassic Park River Adventure. A few others provide the potential to get you a little wet but are far less likely. Even so, you need to make sure that the bag you take around the park does have a waterproof area to keep your phone, tablet and anything else that you want nice and dry. This is also useful for those showers that can appear out of nowhere. 

Plastic Poncho

Again, you can buy these in Disney and they tend to have a cute print of Mickey or something similar on them. They’re great because they are lightweight and dry fast. It’s far better than needing to carry a waterproof jacket around with you and it will ensure that you can slip them on and off easily. 

Ear Protector

This is particularly useful for travelers coming to Disney from afar. It quite common for tourists to get ear infections after going underwater on vacation. Anyone who has ever been in Typhoon Lagoon’s awesome and incredible wave pool will tell you that staying above water isn’t really an option. If you want to enjoy an attraction like this and dodge the potentially slim chance of an ear infection, ear protectors are a must. These change to fit the shape of the ear, providing a waterproof block while ensuring you can still hear. 

Mosquito Repellant

Last but not least, it’s a challenge to spot a mosquito in parks like the Magic Kingdom or Epcot. It must be the Disney magic because they’re just not there. However, if you head to other places including the hotels on site, you will see them flying around. That’s why it’s a good idea to get some repellent. You might want to try repellent bands. These can be worn like fashion accessories and do deter the bugs from taking a nibble.
