What to Bring:

1. Comfortable Clothing and Shoes:

Breathable Layers: Florida weather can be unpredictable. Bring lightweight, breathable layers to stay comfortable throughout the day. If you go during summer I suggest you or the kids bring bathing suits under your clothing, you will Likely get wet!

Comfortable Shoes: Expect to do a lot of walking. Sneakers or well-cushioned sandals are a must. During summer times I recommed Sandals that can get wet!

2. Essentials for the Day:

Backpack or Tote Bag: A sturdy, comfortable bag to carry your essentials.

Refillable Water Bottle: if possible choose a material that can keep the water cold, you can also refill the water bottles at different stations available throughout the park.

Sunscreen and Sunglasses: Protect yourself from the Florida sun.

Ponchos or Small Umbrella: Be prepared for sudden rain showers. Orlando famous for them!

Portable Charger: This is a big one! your phone will never run out of battery faster then at a Disney park! and you will want to have battery at the end of the day for the light show!

3. For the Kids:

Autograph Book and Pen: In case your kids would like to collect autographs from their favorite characters!

Small Snacks: non-perishable snacks are the best to bring to disney!

Stroller: Even if your child is a good walker, a stroller can be a lifesaver for tired little legs! If you do not bring a stroller I strongly suggest you rent a cart in the entrace of the park, it will help you store your things outside the attractions and definetly for the kiddos when they get tired, there is a single and a double one available to rent.

4. Health and Safety:

Hand Sanitizer, Wipes and First Aid Kit: Include band-aids, antiseptic wipes, and any necessary medications if needed.

Magic Kingdom has strict rules against large coolers and glass containers, so opt for small, soft-sided coolers if you need to bring perishables.

Even toy swords and guns are prohibited to ensure a safe and friendly environment for all guests.

Items like skateboards, scooters, and inline skates are not allowed. Strollers and mobility devices are the exceptions.

Arrive early to get a good spot for parades and shows. It’s also a great time to take a break and enjoy a snack.

If you have little ones who can’t go on certain rides, take advantage of Rider Switch so everyone gets a turn without waiting twice.
