BTDT: Packing for Disney trip, any tips?

We are going to Disney in one week! with our 4 year old and 2 year old.

I have started putting stuff together, and do feel pretty ready, just wondering if there are any things you would suggest to bring that someone who hasn't been to Disney might not think of?

TIA!

ETA: also definitely looking for tips to keep them busy on the plane!!! that is my biggest worry.

I packed a set of extra kid clothes to bring to park - which came in handy.

a blanket, because nights were chilly

have fun!!!

We are going at the end of this week. I'm packing knit gloves for all of us. The nights are chilly, and their gloves are like $8 a pair! Walmart sells toddler size knit gloves if you don't have any.

Walgreen's sells these Christmas themed Mickey and Minnie snow globe light up things for $4.99 (and a bunch of other Disney Christmas stuff), so I bought those to pack because they are a small fortune in the parks.



Hand sanitizer wipes for sure!

THANK YOU SO MUCH! Never would have thought of a blanket or mittens for night time. And I love those Disney light up things!

Had a jeep backpack harness for 2 yr old. Was good for when he didn't want to be held or be in stroller.

Also packed outfits in ziploc bags. Dh squeezed the air out so it was almost as if they we vac sealed and was easy to pack. Each bag had outfit and socks and made it easy to dress each day.

We brought our own stroller and a bicycle lock for the wheel so I wouldn't stress that the stroller was going to walk off.

Painters tape. DS loves it and it keeps him occupied. We used it to help keep ear plugs in on plane so he could watch a movie on iPad. We used it to write on and label inside his clothing our contact info.

They give stickers out at the parks when you walk in. You can also ask for more. That helped keep DS occupied.

Have fun!!!

For the plane I just brought my Vtech, and Leappad. I have heard people say to bring Wiki Sticks but I didnt. ALso a lot of snacks. My DD ate so much on the plane, lol, but kept her busy with all the above.

squirt dish soap on a sponge, let it soak up & dry. Cut the sponge into tiny squares (1-2 for each day). Bring that to wash out sippy cups or your refillable resort cup!

i would suggest packing those apple sauce squeeze pouches. i like using Ella's Kitchen or any of the organic ones. I think they are great for travel!! and it's a healthy snack. I have a almost 4 year old and a 1 year old when we went and i wish i had packed more of them!

Also bring a large clear plastic bag to use to cover your stroller if it rains in the parks. I carried one with me, folded, everyday, but luckily never had to useit. And put things to mark your stroller on the handles...ribbons, etc.

We just got back from Disney on Saturday.
We drove.
2.5 yo twins and an 8mo.

Are you renting a car?
There is a Target just outside of Disney.
Go there to get snacks, water, fruit.

Disney charges $1.60 for a banana.
That's crazy.

Definitely bring sweatshirts and blankets.
It gets really chilly at night.

I just downloaded some movies to my Kindle and we watched them in the car. My kids aren't big tv watchers, but they loved watching movies on the trip down there.

Have fun!!!!!!
