Planning a trip to Disney World can be overwhelming. You need to figure out how you are going to get there, purchase park tickets, plan your dining reservations, and so much more.

And then you realize you also need to figure out what you need to bring with you while you are in the parks. You don’t want to miss anything, but you also don’t want to be weighed down with unnecessary items.

Well, we are here to help, with the nine things you want to make sure you bring with you to the theme parks. There are a few things that we never go to the parks without, and we are sharing them with you today! You can get free shipping on most of these items with an Amazon Prime Membership.

Now let’s dive into the items we always bring to the park with us!

Make sure you have a FuelRod!

You will end up using your phone for A LOT of things while you are in Disney World. From taking pictures to looking up wait times, you won’t want to try to find an outlet somewhere when your phone dies. That is where FuelRods come in! These are portable chargers that you can swap out for FREE at Disney World. Pick up a set of these on Amazon so you won’t have to worry what percentage your phone is on! Use them to charge up, and once they are out of juice, just head over to one of the numerous FuelRod kiosks to swap out for a fully charged one.

Bring an Owala Water Bottle to stay hydrated!

It is no secret that it gets hot in Disney World, and you will likely be getting a lot more steps in than you normally do. It is super duper important to make sure you stay hydrated while you are in the parks, so we always recommend that you bring a water bottle with you. We love this Owala Water Bottle! You can refill this at any water fountain, or stop by a quick service restaurant to pick up cups of ice water to refill it with. It is always a good idea to have easy access to water so you don’t end up dehydrated while you are in the parks.

Stock up on Hawaiian Tropic Mineral Powder Sunscreen!

There is a good reason that Florida is known at “The Sunshine State” and unfortunately Disney World has not developed a sun-blocking bubble yet. While you’re in the parks, you’ll want to make sure that you are consistently applying sunscreen to protect yourself from the sun. We recommend always having some sunscreen with you, and we especially love this powder sunscreen from Hawaiian Tropic! It has broad spectrum SPF 30 and is a translucent powder you can use for your face and scalp.

Make sure you have a good rain poncho!

In addition to sunshine, you will also likely encounter some rain while you are at Disney World. Don’t let the rain ruin your day in the park, and make sure you have a rain poncho. You can easily store this rain poncho in your park bag and pull it out whenever the sky unleashes on you. It is longer than many other rain ponchos and even has a good with strings to pull the hood tight!

Have a first aid kit handy!

While you always hope that nothing bad will happen, it can never hurt to be prepared just in case! We always keep a first aid kit with us that has band-aids, pain medication, and other basic first aid supplies. You never know when you might need a band-aid for a blister on your foot, or some pain medication for a headache. You can also stop by First Aid locations in the park, but we think having a first aid kit with us is a must!

Be prepared with Deodorant Spray!

You will be doing a lot of walking in the parks, and even the strongest deodorant likely won’t be able to conquer sweat all day long. That is why we love bringing a small bottle of antiperspirant spray with us to the parks. It is perfect for applying throughout the day whenever you are feeling a bit stinky or sweaty. It is easy to apply and small enough that it doesn’t take up a lot of space.

Always have a pair of sunglasses on hand!

Going back to our previous point, that Florida gets plenty of sun! You will want to make sure you protect all parts of your body, including your eyes. Make sure you always have a pair of sunglasses with you! Your eyes will thank you and you will be so much more comfortable. We love these sunglasses and they come in a huge variety of colors and patterns, so you can find the best ones for your style.

Be ready for the day with a Premier Protein Shake!

There is so much good food at Disney World, but sometimes you want to be prepared if you aren’t getting food for a bit. Maybe you don’t have a breakfast reservation until 9AM, but you got up at 6AM to get ready for the day. Or maybe you are wanting to find the perfect fireworks spot and not have to give it up for a quick snack. We swear by packing a protein shake with us when we head into the parks. These are a perfect, quick snack that will give you the fuel you need to make it through the day. You can easily throw one in your bag, so you are prepared to curb the hungries.

Be prepared for any mess with Flushable Wipes!

Last but not least, we don’t think your park bag is complete without some flushable wipes. You may be a bit curious about why we recommend these, but they have so many uses while you are in the parks. They are perfect for cleaning up messes after enjoying a particularly melty treat, or for cleaning up a table, or providing a bit of a refresh to sweaty skin. We love these wipes and they are unscented with no irritants, parabens, phthalates, or dyes!
