- Backpack
- Fanny Pack
- Bathing suits
- Beach towel (the cheaper the quicker it will dry)
- Battery operated personal fan - It has a string so that you can put it around your neck, but it is still small enough to fit in your fanny pack
- Beach Shoes or flip flops
- Cooler - a soft, collapsible one to tote sandwiches and drinks to the water parks
- Hats - straw, baseball,
- Frozen Drinks - Freezing bottled water the night before heading out keeps water cold.
- Laundry Detergent - Rather than paying high prices for a small box of laundry detergent, bring some from home.
- Night Lights - inexpensive night lights. No bumps and crashes in the night if you just stick these in the outlets. The kids will feel more secure if they know they'll be able to get to the bathroom quickly and easily.
- Rain Poncho
- Sensible shoes -- Comfy, well-broken in shoes are essential. This isn't the time to try a new pair of shoes. If you must get new shoes for your trip, be sure to break them in early.
- Sunscreen
- Sunglasses - for ALL members of your traveling tribe, and don't forget those handy-dandy straps that keep the sunglasses hanging around your neck. Much more convenient than tucking the sunglasses in a pocket or fanny pack every time you get on an attraction.
Bring at least 2 comfortable broken-in pairs of walking shoes and extra socks! Take good care of your feet - I average 5-7 miles of walking each DAY at WDW. Also try to bring a poncho....Florida is notorious for spontaneous rain showers and ponchos are much cheaper in your local Walmart or Target. (Try and get a color unique to your family so you can "find" each other.)
Some suggest 2 pairs because there are lots of water rides and sometimes shoes don't get dried out completely. We only brought one pair for Rose and Charlie; and didn't have any problem. Your choice. You know your kids better than anyone else.
Sandals or flip flops were a MUST for going back and forth to the pool area - for mom and dad also!
We'll talk later about what to pick up before Disney World trip. . .let's save that for another post on packing and the last-minute-trip to Wal Mart before heading South!
There's a laundry on site, so don't worry about bringing too many clothes. Easy just to run down and do a load of wash if you want. ~ Rebecca
