Planning a trip to Walt Disney World? Here’s a list of things to bring to Walt Disney World parks.

Have you ever spent a day at a Walt Disney World park and only realized in an emergency that you hadn’t packed the necessary items? Or, just as bad, gone to the parks over prepared, and had to rent a locker to store your things in or wound up twice as tired, sore, and grumpy from lugging around all that extra weight?

Feel free to print this out and use it as a check-list:

Please Note: If you’re looking for a packing list for the whole vacation, I couldn’t do any better than The Mouse For Less’ Ultimate Packing List for Walt Disney World.

The Essentials:

Wallet

Cash

Credit & Debit Cards

Key To The World (room key)

Park Entrance Ticket (may be on your room key)

Hand Sanitizer (mini-Purelle, individual handi-wipes- can be gotten from drug stores in packs, or singly from KFC)

Band-Aids (at least 1 large enough to cover an elbow or heel, 1 regular size, and 1 finger size, for every 2 members of your party, per day)

Baby Powder (100% cornstarch is best, I recommend Johnson & Johnson in travel size)

Small Notepad or Large Paper (to catch unexpected character signings)

Sharpie and Ballpoint Pen

A Safety Pin

A Rubber Band

A Carabiner Clip (can be hooked onto your belt or on purse/bag strap to hang baseball cap, or small bags from)

Sunscreen (to preserve space, a small jar can be filled)

Hat with a Brim (and preferably a loop that can be attached to the carabiner)

Cellphone or Walkie-Talkie

Camera

Extra Film, Memory Cards, and/or Batteries

Recommended:

Mini-Water Bottle (8oz or so, bring to park full, and when it’s empty, buy a bigger bottle of water, and fill up to continue carrying- much lighter than a full bottle on a lanyard)

Ziplocs (needs to be at least big enough for your wallet, and fast passes. Quart size at least, a gallon size if you want to put more in it during rain storms, or water rides)

Poncho or Trash Bag (for rain storms or water rides)

Individual Flavor Packets (Celestial Seasonings, Kool-Aid, Crystal Light- much cheaper to flavor tap water than pay for spring)

Quarters or Pennies

Light Sweater or Wind Breaker (it gets chilly- especially at EPCOT around the lagoon, but a windbreaker will keep you warm in most weather, and if you need anything heavier, it’s a good excuse to buy a sweatshirt as a souvenir)

Candy or Gum (preferably something that won’t melt in the heat immediately- you’ll want this in case your blood sugar drops and you’re on a ride, or somewhere else that food is not easily accessible, as well as for breath freshening)

Optional:

Autograph Books

Masking Tape (for marking purchases, bottles, etc)

FastPass/Ticket Holder Lanyard
