What to bring to the parks

• A trip to Orlando is an exciting adventure for the whole family. There is a lot of planning before the trip and tons of details to cover, such as where to stay, where to eat and what to see. One the most often overlooked planning is what to bring to the parks. A little upfront planning can make all the difference between a good day at the parks and a great one.

COMFORTABLE SHOES

Be prepared to walk. Disney has over 40 square miles of area, so you will be walking. A great choice is a pair of comfortable tennis shoes. Be sure to make sure they are already broken in as you don’t want blisters on your first day.

Light Clothing

• The parks can get hot even on a cool Florida day. The sun in Florida shines more than 300 days per year. Be sure to bring light natural moisture wicking clothing. A light sweater or sweatshirt that can be worn over a tank top is great for the evening.

Small Backpack

• You will need something small to put your wallet and cell phone in. All bags are checked at the entrance so the easier it is to open, the quicker you will get through the line. Keeping it small will force you to pack light.

Sunglasses

• The sun is Florida is very bright. Bring a couple of pair cheap pair of sunglasses that you won’t mind if they fly off your face on one of the thrill rides. Replacement glasses at the parks will set you back about $20-25 so having an extra pair will save you in the long run.

Suntan Lotion

• Our recommendation is SPF 30 or more. Make sure to remember to cover your neck, ears and head.

A HAT

A light hat such as a baseball cap or a floppy sun hat will help protect your head from the sun.

Remember though, to stow them on the rides as they will fly off.

Hand Sanitizer

• Why ruin your vacation with getting a cold. Germs are everywhere- including the parks. Disney alone has over 17 million visitors per year. That is a lot of germs! Bring a small container of hand sanitizer and use it often.

Refillable Water Bottle

• A refillable water bottle for each person in your party is a must Staying hydrated is very important to keep your day on track and not getting heat sick.

PERSONAL SPRAY BOTTLE

The small personal spray bottles- some with fans are not a must have, but a nice have. The cool mist that they provide can be so refreshing.

Portable Cell Phone Charger

• if your party needs to divide and conquer- a cell phone is a convenient way to stay in touch. There are many brands of keychain sized chargers that will charge up a dead phone.

RAIN PONCHO

Especially in summer, the heat can cause afternoon showers. Be prepared with a light weight poncho. They are also great for rides like the Great Kali River Rapid ride where you are bound to get wet! You can pick one up for less than $1 at local discount retailers.

EASY SNACKS

Quick snacks, such as granola bars or nuts are great to have when someone in the party decides they are starving! This usually happens when you are near the entrance to that ride you just spent the last hour waiting to get in!
