Pack extras of your vital medications, contacts, supplements just in case you need them. While most of the resorts will have small healthcare and medical items, it’s always better to have them on hand – especially products for blisters and chafing.


There’s no reason you have to pack around items in an increasingly heavier backpack. PRO-TIP: Take advantage of Disney’s Guest Services for merchandise shipping and pickup. Just don’t overpack, heavy bags are no fun!

DISNEY VACATION CHECKLIST FULL
If you are planning for a full day in the park, it’s helpful to pack a small, light ( emphasis on light) park bag with the essentials – hand sanitizer, sunscreen, feminine products, emergency cash, band-aids. Additionally, you might want to keep a plastic sandwich bag handy for storing the battery and your phone during water rides. There are limited places to charge your phone or find a power outlet around Disney, so don’t fall victim to a dead battery. This isn’t optional if you are a heavy phone or using one of the many applications designed for Walt Disney World. When the inevitable hits from a long day in the park, the best thing to have on hand is a super-powerful, fully-charged battery backup charger. PRO-TIP: A dead battery is such a buzzkill, right? Make sure you have any unnecessary applications closed, turn your ringer off, don’t use the flash, avoid using video unless necessary, turn on battery save mode – so many tips to saving your battery life. A handheld gaming system, like a 3DS, is excellent for blowing time in long ride queues as well. The official Walt Disney World app is your key to the kingdom, but you’ll need to prepare yourself with extra charging cables and battery packs. Take advantage of this and plan ahead ( especially easy if you are staying at one of Walt Disney World’s monorail resorts) because you won’t regret how refreshed you’ll feel going into the evening. There’s nothing more refreshing after a long day in the heat and sunshine than showering off and a fresh set of clothing before the evening. This will help avoid discomfort, blisters, and chaffing. Powder sprinkled in your unmentionables and socks will help keep areas that rub against your body dry.Be certain to keep yourself well hydrated to cool off, limit excessive sweating, and stay healthy. Hydrate, even though it’s moist ( yes, we hate that word too) outside your body will be sweating more than you realize.Here are a couple of bonus tips for those not used to the humid heat:

However, there are some humidity-busting things you can do, beyond just selecting breathable, quick-dry clothing for a day in the parks.
DISNEY VACATION CHECKLIST CODE
Don’t forget swimwear for the pool and a dress code appropriate change for dining. Pack extra clothing so you have a dry change. Comfortable shorts/pants and short-sleeved shirts are a good bet. Dress for humidity, comfort, and long days of walking.
