What are your Disney essentials and are you visiting soon? 🤔🎒 Find the full list of these essentials HERE on my Amazon Storefront (Affiliate Link): amzn.to/48ibLIj More Disney packing Videos: Essentials NO ONE tells you to bring to Disney World Part 1: th-cam.com/video/QFbVr16J5FU/w-d-xo.htmlsi=Yp43oQK26bixl2C8 What's in my Disney park bag: th-cam.com/video/LfFgz-__6nk/w-d-xo.html
Here's some extra tips from a Florida resident & frequent Disney visitor! -You might not use that cooling towel nearly as much as you think. If you do bring it and get it wet, come prepared with a ziplock to store it in so it doesn't get everything else wet. -Walmart sells super compact emergency ponchos. Florida is famous(Or infamous, maybe!) for our hurricanes, tropical storms, and rain. It will probably rain while you're at Disney, especially if you visit summer-late fall during hurricane season. Do yourself a favor and get a pack of 2 for like $3 from Walmart for your park bag to avoid paying $10+ for one. -While stick sunscreen and roller sunscreen are great options, unfortunately it does say on the containers that you still have to rub it in to ensure even coverage and absorption. Please don't skip this just to avoid the greasy hand feeling. Nobody wants to become a human candy cane. Personally, I use a spray-on both for sensory reasons and because it provides the best coverage with the least rubbing in. -Collapsible water bottles are your friend if you don't mind the Florida Swamp Water(tm) refills with your flavor mixes. They can collapse to save space when you need, provided they aren't full to capacity. -If your water bottle has some sort of loop on it, get yourself a carabiner clip and clip it to your park bag, belt loop, etc. to free your hands AND save time when you need that much needed hydration fix so you don't have to go digging around to find the water bottle among whatever other supplies you have that day. -This wasn't very mentioned, but! You are allowed to bring medicine like Benadryl and Tylenol into the parks! If it can pass TSA, you're golden for the park too. Bring these. I can't tell you how many times I've had a park day saved thanks to tylenol in my bag killing a headache before it had the chance to ruin it. -The characters can sign ANYTHING that isn't food or on your body. Literally. If you can carry it into the park and it isn't edible, you can have it signed. I've seen hats and shirts and pillowcases, I myself have had Goofy sign a plush and Mickey, Minnie, Pluto, and Goofy all sign a pillow. -For my fellow sensory-sensitive individuals! If you need a quiet area to decompress and take a sensory break, ask any cast member for the nearest quiet area. They'll point you towards one of the quieter areas of the park you're in.
Bonus tips! -Be prepared if you fill a backpack with park supplies. You will have to carry that all day. Choose your backpack well, or decide how to better distribute weight. -You can also bring food into disney as long as you don't have to keep it cold. Me and my park buddy bring goldfish, beef jerky, slim jims, and sandwiches. -I can't overstate that backpack thing. If you over-pack it, your shoulders will be incredibly sore by mid-late afternoon.
Yay I'm so glad you have and enjoy them! My family loves wearing them they have been so comfortable! Good to know about the crocs not being good for wide feet, I didn't know that! 😮 Thanks for watching!!
Yes I should have mentioned the fans and cooling towels! Cooling towels are so helpful to have during the heat of the summer! Thank you for watching and your suggestions KLady!
All good tips, Megan! I have also switched to Lume and find it very effective and I take a little bit of the cream type in a little tiny jar with me in the park /works great and that’s good for all over body freshener. I also bring a little mini cloth that expands underwater and use this when I’m really hot on my pulse points😊
Thank you Kitty Kathy, I'm glad you enjoyed! I've heard really great things about Lume and love the idea of pitting it in a little jar! Thats a great idea! The expandable towels are great too I remember you saying this before. Thanks for sharing and watching! 🤩🤗
This is such a good idea I never thought of bringing those before! I will have to try them sometime. Have you found they make a difference in the water taste? Thank you for the comment and for watching!
@@MeganMoves hi, yes first time for all of us! Crowds were not busy weather was great. Just perfect...however ended up paying almost $700 dollars in genie plus and lightning lane 😳
@@MeganMoves we bought genie plus for 4 everyday...which came to appx $100-$110 a day plus taxes. Than we had to pay $20 plus per person for lightning passes for premium rides.. Appx..$150 plus per day...but it was worth it...other option was to wait 90 to 160 minutes in line....
A tip that no one tells you: We all know that we should drink water through out our day at Disney, but you should drink slowly. The reason is because your body can’t absorb water as fast as it can lose it. The chaffing thing is something I hadn’t thought of until you mentioned it. Personally I prefer Gold Bond body powder. It has a nice cooling effect. The sunscreen roller applicator is brilliant. I too hate the greasy feel of sunscreen and always end up using too much or not enough.
Hi there! Thanks so much for using the link I appreciate the support and am super excited for you to get a pair of the crocs! you will have to let me know what you think of them and thank you for watching! 🤩🤗

Yes, the low wedges & Brooklyn woven wedges are my go-to shoes for this summer.
Absolutely true and a great price during sales.

And yes- Florida is largely sand and swamp. That's why our tap water tastes like a swamp.
Those crocs are the cutest, I bought them 2 years ago and they are still holding strong!
HOWEVER, they are not for people with wide feet 😊
Yay I'm so glad you have and enjoy them! My family loves wearing them they have been so comfortable! Good to know about the crocs not being good for wide feet, I didn't know that! 😮 Thanks for watching!!
We bring fans and cooling towels which help us keep cool 👍🏻❤️😀

I just used the link to order the Crocs! They are having a sale! Thanks for the tip!
Hi there! Thanks so much for using the link I appreciate the support and am super excited for you to get a pair of the crocs! you will have to let me know what you think of them and thank you for watching! 🤩🤗
I bought the Croc wedges at your recommendation. Actually, I bought the woven pair, too. Best cute shoes ever!
ah I love that so much! Glad you like them! They are my favorite shoes and so glad you could give them a try. I wear them all the time and I think my mom has every color 🤣 Thank you for watching!!
What would you recommend for a bra or cups to wear in the parks? I'm going in August and I don't think my VS strapless bra will suffice.
There is also sunscreen in sticks like deodorant sticks
Yes the sunscreen sticks are super convenient too! Thank you for bringing these up! Have you ever been to Disney World? Thanks for watching!
No but I want to one day... right now it's out of my budget... I go to Universal Studios once a year and a sunscreen stick is always in my bag

🙏Thank you so much for promoting deodorant 🙏 ❤
🤣I was trying to do so in the nicest way possible! 🤣😂 Definitely a summer essential!! 👏👏
I always carry a stick of what I call "Emergency Deodorant" wherever I go!
@@turtlemun yes emergency deodorant is great!! What brand/type do you usually bring? 🤔 thanks for watching!!
This felt like one big ad.
It really, really didn’t
@@GeekyMedia you can have that opinion if you want but the links that lead to commission kind of tell a different tale.
