Items for Weather
No matter when you plan to travel to Walt Disney World, the weather will change. Be prepared for this by packing items to help you manage the elements.
We always make sure we have rain gear. Determine what will work best for your family. Do you prefer to have umbrellas or rain jackets? Having these items with you in the parks can make it a lot easier to manage those pop-up rain storms that happen often.
The heat and humidity are also hard to manage during the summer months at Walt Disney World. Consider bringing a portable fan with you to keep the air moving. This can make a huge difference when waiting in lines that don’t have much air movement.
Another great way to keep yourself cool is by using cooling towels. These towels allow you to keep your body temperature down in the parks. Keep them wet and let the cooling elements activate to keep you cool.
Ensuring you are prepared for the weather is critical to having a good time in the parks. You won’t be happy if you are wet, hot, or cold during your visit.

Portable Chargers
One of the most important items you will want to make sure you have with you at Walt Disney World is a portable charger.
My Disney Experience, the official Disney World app, is critical to a successful trip to Walt Disney World. It is through the app that guests can find wait times, order food, get directions, and so much more.
If you have a dead phone, you not only will lose access to all of those crucial features found on the app, but you won’t be able to capture those magical moments.
There are a variety of different chargers that you can choose from based on your needs. If you are a rope drop to the fireworks family, you might want to invest in a bigger, more powerful charger.
On the other hand, if you plan to head back to your Disney Resort in the middle of the day, you might only need a smaller charger to get you through an emergency.

Comfortable Shoes
Having comfortable shoes for your Walt Disney World trip is critical to happy feet and people throughout your trip. Guests walk a LOT during their Walt Disney World vacation, and because of that, comfortable shoes are key to a magical experience in the parks.
Make sure you break your shoes in before heading to Walt Disney World. You don’t want a new pair of shoes in the Parks as this can lead to blisters and other issues.
We also recommend having a few pairs of comfortable shoes. No matter how much you love your shoes, they might cause issues after so many long days of walking. Having a second pair allows your feet to change, which is highly helpful. Having a second pair when you get stuck in the rain is also lovely.
Making sure you have these three items packed for your Walt Disney World vacation can make a massive difference in your overall Disney vacation experience. As you prepare to pack and think about what to pack, ensure these three items are on your must-bring list.
