13 Things The Pros Buy BEFORE Their Disney World Trip

Sometimes, too much advice can be a bad thing, but don’t worry we’re here to help!

Main Street U.S.A

When planning your trip to Disney World you comb through all kinds of advice. Which hotel to book, which restaurants to make reservations for, and what kinds of experiences are worth your time (and money). But sometimes even the most well-intended advice might have you overpacking your bags –– that’s where we come in to help!

Generally, it’s a great thing to be prepared for all scenarios that could go right, could go wrong, could result in a plan B for bad weather, and everything in between. However, sometimes you might just be bogging yourself down with stuff you don’t necessarily need!

It can be hot here in Florida

We’ve compiled a list of the things Disney World pros bring with them when they visit the parks. All of these items can be found on Amazon and most of them are at great discounts right now! Let’s take a look at what we think you’ll need the most.

We spotted this Portable Neck Fan for 40% off!
