Phones drain fast on photos and park maps. Catrina Yohay at PureWow says to always bring a portable charger, or at minimum a charging cable, since ports around the parks can help. The newer MagicBand+ needs its own cable. Park days are long: Grace Hamlin puts an average one at 7 to 10 miles, so that is a lot of shoe. The weather swings from cool mornings to afternoon storms, so pack layers and rain gear. The list covers adults and kids. It leaves out hotel kitchen supplies and car-trip gear.
Why these items are on the list
- Portable charger, at least 10,000mAh. WDW Prep School says your battery will die by 2 PM without one, given constant app use.
- MagicBand+ charger and cable. The MagicBand+ cable differs from your phone's. WDW Prep School advises one charger for every two bands.
- Multi-port wall charger. Resort outlets run short at night. One block can charge several devices at once.
- Two pairs of broken-in walking shoes. WDW Prep School says rotate two pairs over long miles. It and Lux Life London say skip brand-new shoes.
- Extra socks. Wet 100 percent cotton socks cause blisters, says WDW Prep School. Lux Life London suggests two pairs daily unless laundering.
- Moleskin or blister plasters. Cover hot spots the second you feel friction.
- Anti-chafe balm. Apply to thighs and feet before leaving the hotel.
- Poncho or rain jacket. Afternoon thunderstorms are common, and a poncho also helps on water rides.
- Light sweater or hoodie. Bus and restaurant air conditioning runs cold, even in July.
- Hat and sunglasses. Sun bounces off white surfaces, and you will want the hat by midday.
- Sunscreen and SPF lip balm. WDW Prep School says lotion covers better than spray.
- Refillable water bottle. Quick service gives free ice water, and filling stations are in the parks.
- Electrolyte packets. Dehydration creeps up on kids and adults alike. Add one to your bottle mid-day.
- Cooling towel or neck fan. WDW Prep School recommends one for May through October.
- Gallon zip-top bags. Protect electronics on water rides, and bag wet swimsuits afterward.
- Swimsuit, two if possible. Humidity slows drying, so WDW Prep School suggests packing two bathing suits.
- Spare tops and bottoms per person. Smart Mouse Travel totals clothes for the trip's days, then adds 2 tops and 1 bottom. Spills happen.
- Small first aid pouch. Pain relievers, bandages, cough and cold medicine, motion sickness bands; Smart Mouse Travel carries its pouch in carry-on.
- Prescriptions in carry-on. WDW Prep School says always pack prescriptions in carry-on, never checked. Smart Mouse Travel agrees, for delayed bags.
- Spare outfit in carry-on. Smart Mouse Travel packs one or two outfits per person against delayed or lost checked luggage.
- Physical ID and insurance card. Systems go down, so carry a hard copy.
- Packing cubes. Smart Mouse Travel says to toss a cube into a drawer to unpack, then back into the suitcase.
- Lightweight park backpack. Padded straps and bottle pockets suit a full day, and it doubles as a personal item.
Tick items as they land in the suitcase, a few at a time. Share the list with whoever packs for the kids so everyone ticks the same items.
When to use it
Start a few days before you leave; Smart Mouse Travel aims to be fully packed at least three days out.
