What to Take to Disney World in 2025

What to bring to Disney World? This is one of our most common vacation questions for guests planning their visit to any of the Disney Parks. Here are our musts for our Disney packing list.

We will divide the below packing list into different categories including park day essentials, medical and comfort items, kids items, and other handy items for the parks. We also cover what to wear to Disney World and helpful items to have in your Disney World hotel room. Throughout the below packing list, we include recommendations for where you can buy some of these items in advance. 

Let's dive into the essentials you will want to bring to Disney World for your park day…

Essential Items For the Parks Disney World Packing List 

Cinderella Castle at Magic Kingdom

Our first category of items for our Disney World packing list is the essential items that you cannot go without during your park day. You don't want to forget any of these things, as they can really make or break your trip experience. We also include some recommendations below for where you can get these items ahead of your trip. 

We'll also include clothing in this list of essentials, though we break down what you'll want to wear to Disney World in more detail in the sections below. 

  • Backpack/Comfortable Park Bag
  • Battery Pack
  • Water Bottle
  • Wallet and Travel Documents/Cash
  • Ponchos
  • Jacket/Extra Layers
  • Sunscreen

1. Backpack/Comfortable Park Bag

Make sure that you bring a backpack or purse that is comfortable for you to wear for hours at a time. I always advise guests against packing too much into a giant backpack in the parks though, as you want to make sure that you're not loaded down with a huge bag on your trip to Disney.

Here are the styles of bags that we find work best for Disney:

  • Small backpacks like Loungflys are convenient as they can hold a decent amount without being too big a size. These come in a variety of fun Disney designs! 
  • Fanny packs are also a popular option, especially for those who know they only will be carrying a few essentials. This takes the pressure off of your back and allows for easy access to any items you may need.
  • Crossbody bags are a great choice for Disney as well. My favorite purse that I pack for Disney is one that switches between a crossbody and a handbag style which gives my back a break throughout my Disney trip.

In general, bags with several different compartments are ideal so that you can save time not having to fish around for what you're looking for. If you need to travel with a diaper bag, consider what bag will work best to carry your kid's supplies and your own. 

2. Battery Pack

Much of the Disney World experience revolves around using the My Disney Experience app to make Lightning Lane reservations, check wait times, etc. You'll be surprised at how much you'll need a battery charger on your trip and having one on hand will be a lifesaver. 

We always rely on the Anker PowerCore battery pack. This battery pack is inexpensive, holds a charge well, and is very lightweight. Previously I had a different battery pack on my packing list that was far too heavy.

See the best Disney World Lightning Lane tips to consider when planning your trip!

3. Water Bottle

Whether you order groceries and include bottled water or bring your own, this is a top item on our packing tips list. You can get dehydrated fast walking in the hot weather and you want to stay as hydrated as possible. You can refill these at water bottle refill stations throughout Disney World

Pro tip! You can also get free cups of ice water at quick-service locations. 

4. Wallet and Travel Documents/Cash

Plan to pack any essential documents you need to travel with (insurance cards, ID, etc.) and consider bringing some cash along with you too. There will be ATMs in Disney World but the fees will be more than it would cost to just run to the bank before the trip. Make sure to also bring any Disney World Gift Cards you have that you can use towards different areas of your trip.

5. Ponchos

One thing you can count on is to experience rain on your Disney vacation and your family will thank you if you arrive prepared with ponchos. You can find packages of disposable ones on Amazon that come folded up nicely in small packages or buy durable ones to re-wear throughout the trip. These are lightweight and won't be as cumbersome as carrying an umbrella around the parks. These will also come in handy for water rides like Tiana's Bayou Adventure and Kali River Rapids. 

This is a good option for discounted clear or colored ponchos from Amazon.

6. Jacket/Extra Layers

One of the most important things to bring to Disney World is layers that you can put on, as the temperatures can be cooler in the mornings and evenings with the humidity. We recommend bringing something like a sweatshirt that you can easily tie around your waist or store in your backpack during the day when the temperature is warmer.

You can also rent a locker if you don't want to carry extra jackets or your park bag throughout the day which is a great option if you want to save your back.

7. Sunscreen

You can always find these essential packing list items in your hotel gift shop but you will save money if you arrive prepared with sunscreen. Especially if you're traveling with kids, this is an essential packing list item. Especially if you're visiting during the summer at Disney World, you'll also want to bring sunglasses and a hat to prevent sunburns which can happen easily! 

I personally like the sport sunscreen from Neutrogena because you are moving around and sweating all day.

Medical/Comfort Items for the Parks

Moana's Journey of Water EPCOT

The second category on our list is medical items and anything else that can help to keep you comfortable. While we say that the above category can be considered essentials, some of these items may also be considered essentials depending on the needs of you and your family. 

While you might not pack every single item in this category, there are some things that are always a good idea to bring if you have the space, like bandaids and hand sanitizer, for example. 

  • First Aid Kit/Bandaids 
  • Hand Sanitizer/Wet Wipes
  • Pain Reliever
  • Chapstick
  • Tums or Pepto Bismol
  • Aloe Vera 
  • Aquaphor Ointment 
  • Gold Bond Bowder
  • Kleenex 
  • Fans, Cooling Towels, etc. 
  • Snacks 
  • Another Pair of Socks

1. First Aid Kit/Bandaids 

If you have a small First Aid kit on hand, bring it with so you're prepared with bandaids for any blisters that might be created from all the walking in the parks. This is an important “just-in-case” item, as it is not improbable to expect that someone in your party will eventually need a bandaid during the course of your trip due to all of the walking and activity.

Or, if your child takes a tumble, you can be ready to immediately take care of any scrapes if you get a first aid kit that includes cleansing wipes and/or Neosporin. This First Aid kit has everything you need in case of injuries. 

2. Hand Sanitizer/Wet Wipes

Disney will have plenty of hand sanitizer stations throughout the park but having your own means you always have some on hand so add this to your packing list. I also carry a travel sized package of Wet Wipes to wipe down sticky kids hands and tables before we eat. This is very a helpful to include in your Disney World park bag to keep hands and surfaces disinfected throughout the day. 

3. Pain Reliever

It's always a smart idea to bring some kind of pain reliever, especially if you are prone to headaches or muscle aches. Even if you aren't, a day filled with lots of walking and rides is bound to cause some discomfort for many visitors. I always like to bring a travel-sized pain reliever like Advil or Tylenol in my park bag that I can take if needed. 

4. Chapstick

Chapstick is an item that some might forget on their Disney World packing list. This is an item that should be easy to throw in as it doesn't take up much space and will keep you comfortable (and protected from the sun if you bring one with SPF). Buy some here!

Flame Tree BBQ food

5. Tums or Pepto Bismol

You'll be eating out quite a bit during your trip so having some of this on hand for any stomach upset, especially if you have kids, is a wise move. If you are prone to indigestion, definitely keep this in mind for your packing list. Even if you aren't, it's worth coming prepare with antiacid medication as the theme park food may be tough on your stomach.

6. Aloe Vera

Hopefully you can avoid any sunburns but if you're not so lucky, having this on hand will relieve any of your discomfort.

Sun Bum Aloe Vera Gell is some of my favorite. Made for surfers and also perfect for the theme parks!

7. Aquaphor Ointment

Aquaphor is a great way to keep your hands from drying out from using so much sanitizer so this is another small item to add to your packing list.

These little containers are a lifesaver! I always end up with cracked skin after washing my hands so much – and that was pre COVID.

8. Gold Bond Powder

Even if you don't have problems with your legs chafing, you might experience it on your Disney World trip from all the walking. Add this item to your Disney World packing list so you're prepared.

Again, I like the small containers to stick in backpacks in case you have a long day.

9. Packages of Kleenex

Pick up some travel sized packages of Kleenex for your park bag as the toilet paper in the bathrooms is pretty scratchy in the park. 

10. Fans, Cooling Towels, etc. 

If you're visiting during the summer when the heat and humidity are intense, you'll want to consider bringing some items to keep you cool and comfortable like cooling towels or handheld fans. 

11. Snacks 

It's a good idea to bring some small snacks to tide you over between meals and have a healthier option to fall back on during the day. Snacks like granola or protein bars, nuts and trail mix, dried fruit, crackers, etc. are all good options. 

12. Another Pair of Socks 

It's always smart to bring a pair of fresh socks so you can change into these if yours get soaked on a water ride. It is truly no fun walking around with wet socks all day! These don't take up much space and can be worth packing for your comfort. 

Disney World Kids' Items for the Parks

Enchanted Tiki Room sign and strollers

In this category, we'll cover some of the items you may want to consider bringing to keep your kids happy and comfortable during a day at the parks!

  • Stroller
  • Stuffed Animals, Toys, Blankets, etc. 
  • AirTag
  • Autograph Book and Sharpie
  • Glow Sticks
  • Mobile Devices for Games/Coloring Books/Activity Sheets
  • Change of Clothes 

1. Stroller

If your kids need a stroller during the day you might want to bring your own or you can also rent one from a third party. You might find your kids relying on a stroller more than they usually do in the parks because of all the walking they will do.

2. Stuffed Animals, Toys, Blankets, etc. 

Be sure to consider any at-home comforts for your kids to keep them happy on a trip. You don't want to arrive at your hotel and realize you forgot the stuffed animal they cannot sleep without! Bring whatever they need to be comfortable at night or in the parks, especially if you have smaller kids.

3. AirTag

There are several uses for AirTags at Disney. Though strollers are not commonly stolen at Disney, this does still unfortunately happen. Strollers are also sometimes moved by Cast Members to make more space, so AirTags can help you find them if you lose track of their location. You can also attach AirTags to your child's favorite toy for peace of mind if they insist on bringing it to the parks. 

4. Autograph Book and Sharpie

You can also buy an autograph book in the parks for a reasonable price but any small notebook will do for character autographs. I like to bring a clickable Sharpie so it's easier for the characters to use when they sign.

5. Glow Sticks

If you have kids, this is a great way to avoid the begging for high dollar glow in the dark toys you will see for sale during nighttime shows at the parks. Have some glow sticks on hand to give out instead that you can buy ahead for cheaper. There are a couple of fun combo packs for sale that I like.

6. Mobile Devices for Games/Coloring Books/Activity Sheets

To keep your kids entertained in long lines and during travel, it's a good idea to have some games downloaded on a mobile device like a tablet to keep them busy. Your kids can play a mobile game on their own or a game that involves the whole family. The Play Disney Parks app is a great option in particular as it allows you to engage with your surroundings. 

Coloring books and activity sheets are another good option for keeping kids entertained in line, especially if they are Disney-themed! This coloring books activity set featuring Disney Princesses is a great option you can buy online. 

7. Change of Clothes 

For younger kids, it never hurts to bring a change of clothes in case theirs gets soiled or wet, or they need something warmer to change into when it's chillier in the evenings. 

Other Handy Items for the Parks 

Cinderella Castle at dusk Magic Kingdom

Our last category for what to bring into the Disney World parks takes into account any other items that will help to make your day more comfortable or enjoyable. You don't have to bring any of these things, but you may want to consider them!

  • Camera
  • Ziploc Bags
  • Pocket Size Travel Blanket
  • Lanyards
  • Pennies and Quarters
  • Disney Pins for Pin Trading

1. Camera

Most people these days have high end cell phones that take great pictures but some guests like to bring their professional camera as well. But just remember- you will have to carry it all day!

2. Ziploc Bags

I always add a variety of Ziploc bags to our packing list because they're so handy for leftover food, keeping your essentials dry on water rides, and separating things in your backpack. These are super helpful to have packed with you.

This is something that I like to add to my Amazon order (really inexpensive plastic bags perfect for the park) before I leave for the parks.

3. Pocket Size Travel Blanket

Pocket-size travel blankets can be found on Amazon for under $15 and they are awesome to have on hand for parades or nighttime shows to help mark your space and keep you comfortable. You can take them to the beach as well which makes them a great item for your Disney packing list. I never go to the parks without mine! Here is a convenient pocket blanket you can get from Amazon. 

4. Lanyards

Lanyards are a great way to display Disney Park pins so if you're a pin collector this is a must for your Disney World packing list. They can also work as a nice neck wallet to store your gift cards or credit cards in.

5. Pennies and Quarters

If you want to collect the pressed pennies during your trip then add these to your Disney World packing list. Be sure to get shiny pennies!

6. Disney Pins for Pin Trading

If you plan on trading pins, you can find larger quantities for less online before your trip. You can buy pins in bulk on Amazon! 

Disney World Hotel Room Items 

Disney World Port Orleans Riverside room

In this category, we'll cover some of the items you may want to bring for your Disney World hotel room that could come in handy during your trip. 

We'll also cover some of the the food items that are helpful to have in your hotel room during your vacation that you can get via grocery delivery. 

  • Ear Plugs
  • Power Strip
  • Travel Size Shampoo/Bodywash
  • Extra Room in Suitcase
  • Sound Machine/Nightlight for Kids
  • Laundry Items
  • Foods via Grocery Delivery (more on this below!)

1. Ear Plugs

Ear plugs are always a must for my Disney World packing list so that way I don't get woken up by others I'm sharing a hotel room with or noise at my hotel.

2. Power Strip

Consider adding a power strip to your Disney World packing list so there are plenty of outlets for everyone to charge their devices. I particularly like this power strip because it has built in UBS plugs for your phones and other Apple devices.

3. Travel Size Shampoo/Bodywash

Depending on what hotel you're at, you might not want to use the free shampoo/conditioner that is provided. I tend to be more picky on what shampoo I use so I always bring my own. You can also buy plastic smaller shampoo bottles at the Dollar Store and fill with your higher end shampoo at home.

4. Extra Room in Your Suitcase

While we encourage you to prepare yourself a Disney World packing list, you also want to leave some room in your suitcase for souvenirs! There's a fine balance between being prepared in your Disney World packing and bringing too much. Do a test run at home with your suitcases and make sure you have extra room to spare. If you forget to pack something, it's not the end of the world in most cases- you can usually find those items in the hotel gift shop.

5. Sound Machine/Nightlight for Kids 

Consider bringing anything that will create the ideal sleep atmosphere for your hotel room. Sleep sound machines, nightlights for kids, etc. are good things to consider bringing if they are part of your normal bedtime routine. White noise machines like this one are always helpful in creating a peaceful environment and drowning out any other noises happening. 

6. Laundry Items

If you are planning on doing laundry during your trip, it's worthwhile to bring supplies rather than purchasing them when you arrive (as it will be much more expensive). Pack any products you'll need like laundry detergent sheets or another travel-sized form of laundry deterrent, a laundry hamper or bag, etc. 

groceries for Disney World

7. Foods via Grocery Delivery 

While this tip is not something that you'll pack in advance, it can be helpful to order some food items to have in your hotel room once you arrive. This will help you save on purchases made at your hotel store or in the parks for snack items and drinks. You can place your order before you arrive and have it arranged to be dropped off at Bell Services at the Disney World Resort hotels. They have a large fridge on hand to keep your perishables cold for you until you arrive.

You can have groceries delivered through Garden Grocer, Amazon Prime Now, Walmart, Instacart, WeGoShop, Dizzy Dolphin Delivery, Shipt.com, and Gooding's Supermarkets. Most places will require a minimum order amount and charge a delivery fee. Here are some must add items to add to your grocery list.

  • Prepackaged Snacks: I like to buy the boxes of prepackaged snacks so they're easy to grab and throw in our park bag. Try to opt for more protein friendly options to give everyone energy but if you have picky kids, just grab the Goldfish crackers. Keeping your kids happy in line should be your first order of business over health if you value your sanity. My favorite option is purchasing some of the pre-packed Trader Joe's snacks for a healthy bite to tide you over in the morning.
  • Breakfast Items: Your hotel will likely offer a breakfast option but if you're like us, we prefer to arrive to the parks early to get on the rides before the crowds show up in the afternoons. Get some easy breakfast items for your hotel like cereal, granola bars, fruit, donuts- whatever your family's preference is.
  • Case of Water: Add a package of water bottles to your grocery order so you have fresh water to drink in the hotel and in the parks. I like to get the mini bottles of water because they're small enough to not weigh down my purse but some people prefer to bring their massive hydro flask so this might just be personal preference.
  • Bottles of Soda/Juice: Let's face it- if you're a soda addict, you will find yourself paying almost $5 per bottle of soda in the parks. Offset that crime to humanity and get yourself some soda to have on hand to bring with in the mornings. I cannot live without my Coca-Cola so I always get some for the hotel.
  • Powdered Starbucks Coffee and Coffee Creamer: You can find awesome powdered Starbucks coffee to throw in your park bag to add to water in the parks or in your hotel room if you don't like the coffee provided. While we like Walt Disney World coffee, check out these easy powdered Starbucks options for your room. I'm a coffee snob and I always struggle with hotel provided coffee. One thing I do to try and make it more bearable is to buy a flavored creamer to offset the taste.
  • Paper plates/bowls: These are handy to have in the hotel especially if you're eating cereal in the morning or eating meals in the evenings. This is the kind of thing I always forget so I just add it to my grocery order.
  • Milk: If your kids drink milk or you want it for breakfast, add this item to your grocery list. Usually you can only find the small cafeteria style milk cartons in the Disney World resort hotels which don't usually cut it.
  • Treats: I'm all about keeping my kid happy at Disney World and one way I do this is to have some treats in my park bag for crucial moments like when the line is too line or a favorite character is hard to find.
  • Hot Chocolate: You can get hot water from your coffee maker in the hotel which makes for a great way to enjoy hot chocolate in the evenings. This is a fun treat for kids to enjoy before bed and make the vacation feel special.

What to Wear to Disney World in 2025

Country Bear Musical Jamboree Bunny, Bubbles, and Beulah

Planning what clothing items I need on a Disney trip is one of my favorite parts! I love coordinating outfits with my family and while it's important to be comfortable, you also want to look nice since you'll have these pictures to treasure forever.

There's a fine balance between comfort and style in the parks so here are some tips to help you decide what to pack in your carry on bag and for your family. Below, we will cover the clothing essentials that you'll want to pack for your Disney World trip. 

  • Comfortable Shoes
  • Extra Layers
  • A Nice Outfit
  • Hat and Sunglasses
  • Bathing Suits

1. Comfortable Shoes

I always bring at least two pairs of walking shoes for our trips so I can alternate days to give my feet a rest. Don't purchase new shoes without breaking them in, you want to be sure the shoes you wear work well for your feet during your trip. You will be doing a lot of walking! Throw in a pair of flip flops too for the resort pool. Make sure your entire family has comfortable shoes to bring, especially your kids.

2. Extra Layers

Florida weather can be chilly in the evening with the humidity depending on the season. It always helps to have an extra hoodie on hand or jackets for the kids, just in case. Having an extra change of clothes for colder weather can't hurt if the weather suddenly changes on your trip.

3. A Nice Outfit

I always bring a nice outfit for each member of the family so we can dress up for one of our dining reservations. The only places in the parks though with a dress code are signature restaurants. Their dress code states, “The dress code for Signature Dining restaurants is Resort casual. Not permitted in dining room: tank tops, swimsuits or swimsuit cover-ups, hats for gentlemen, cutoffs, torn clothing of any kind or T-shirts with offensive language and/or graphics.”

Even if you don't plan on dining in a signature dining restaurant, still add a nice outfit to your Disney World packing list for each family member.

4. Hat and Sunglasses

You will want to have a plan to keep the sun off of you in the parks. I always bring sunglasses that have strong UV protection while my son prefers hats. Again, go with your own level of comfort on this one. Sunglasses are an item I always pack for Disney World in advance because I'm picky about what style I wear. Everyone has their personal preferences on clothing, so keep that in mind on what is essential to bring with you.

Disney World All Star Music pool

5. Bathing Suits

Don't forget to bring your bathing suits for everyone in your family to enjoy the pool at your resort. Taking a break in the afternoons to cool off is an essential way to make your trip more relaxing for your family.

Fashion Tips! When it comes to style, it can be hard to sacrifice that for comfort when you're planning what to pack for Disney World. But you don't want to show up in heels either and find yourself having to buy a pair of shoes in the parks because your feet hurt! Here are some tips on how to maintain your style in the parks with everything you should prepare for.

  • Spandex Biking Shorts: You can still wear a dress at Disney World! Just throw on a pair of bike shorts underneath it so when you climb off and on rides you don't have to worry about any fashion emergencies.
  • Braid Your Hair: Instead of going to a ponytail in the hot afternoons, consider braiding your hair so when you take it down it's wavy and not dented. You can always find scrunchies that don't leave dents in your hair so that way you can alternate between having it up and down.
  • Splurge on the Good Hair Spray: If you're like me with hair that goes flat in humidity, try Bumble Finish Spray. It's a more expensive hair spray but it keeps my hair intact through a day at the parks.
  • Use Makeup Setting Spray: If you plan on doing your makeup, don't forget to use some makeup setting spray. My favorite is Urban Decay All Nighter Setting Spray. It's a miracle product- it's kept my makeup intact after a 12 hour park day including a trip on Splash Mountain. This item is a must for my packing tips list. I don't leave without it in my carry on bag!
  • Get Disney Accessories: Don't forget to grab yourself a cute pair of Minnie ears. You can find them in the parks or if you're sensitive to hair bands (they always give me headaches) try looking on Etsy. You can find a huge variety with headbands that are more gentle on your head. Etsy also has a fun variety of trip shirts and tanks that are more fashion friendly for women- meaning they're less bulky and more form fitting than the ones you get in the parks. I always like to tie a side knot in these and throw them on with cute shorts. Add my Minnie ears, and I'm good to go!

Frequently Asked Questions 

What not to bring to Disney World?

There are certain items you should not bring to Disney World like glass containers, loose or dry ice, artificial noisemakers, suitcases or bags larger than 24″ long x 15″ wide x 18″ high, selfie sticks, strollers that are greater than 31″ in width and 52″ in length, and remote-controlled toys, to name a few. See the items that are allowed into the parks that we would recommend bringing above!

What you must bring to Disney? 

There are a few essential items you must bring to Disney World, like a battery pack, ponchos, extra layers in case it gets cool, and items to protect you from the sun like sunscreen, hats, and sunglasses. Beyond these, there are some other items you should consider packing, which we detail in our guide above. 

What is the best way to carry stuff at Disney?

The easiest way to carry stuff at Disney is to bring a small backpack or purse that will be comfortable to wear around the parks. While you want to make sure you don’t overpack the bag, as you’ll be carrying it around all day, it will come in handy for carrying smaller items you might need throughout the day. See the items we’d recommend bringing in your bag above!

Can I bring a water bottle into Disney World? 

Yes, you can bring a water bottle into Disney World as long as the bottle isn’t made of glass. There are a few water bottle refill stations throughout the parks. 

What can you not wear in Disney? 

You cannot wear costumes if you are age 14 or older, masks for guests 14 and older (unless they are for a medical purpose), clothing with objectionable material (like obscene language or graphics), loose clothing that may drag on the ground, clothing that shows an excessive amount of skin, or clothing with several layers that can be difficult to search. See our recommendations for what to wear to Disney World in our guide above.

Should I bring a purse or backpack to Disney?

We recommend bringing a purse or backpack to Disney to carry smaller essential items that you may need throughout the day like tissues, chapstick, hand sanitizer, snacks, and more. You shouldn’t overpack this bag so that it’s too heavy to carry, and we recommend considering a bag that is small enough that it won’t inconvenience you on rides. 

What food can you bring to Disney World?

You can bring food into Disney World that doesn’t need to be reheated as long as it is not stored in a glass container. You can bring a small cooler with snacks or foods like sandwiches as long as it doesn’t contain loose or dry ice.  See some of the food we would recommend packing above in this guide. 

Can I bring a cooler into Disney World?

You can bring a small cooler into Disney World as long as it doesn’t contain loose or dry ice. Coolers must not be larger than 24″ long x 15″ wide x 18″ high.

How do you pack food for Disney? 

You can pack food that doesn’t need reheating and can be stored in a small cooler. Because loose or dry ice is not allowed in coolers, you can use reusable ice packs as a good alternative. Make sure that the food you’re packing won’t be too heavy to carry around all day in your bag. See some of our snack suggestions that are easy to carry above in our guide.
