Wikipedia can't tell you what items will make the best of a day at the parks. These must have items will make all the difference between a good day and a great one.
2. What to bring to the parks
• A trip to Orlando is an exciting adventure for
the whole family. There is a lot of planning
before the trip and tons of details to cover,
such as where to stay, where to eat and what
to see. One the most often overlooked
planning is what to bring to the parks. A little
upfront planning can make all the difference
between a good day at the parks and a great
one.
3. COMFORTABLE SHOES
Be prepared to walk. Disney has over
40 square miles of area, so you will be
walking. A great choice is a pair of
comfortable tennis shoes. Be sure to
make sure they are already broken in
as you don’t want blisters on your first
day.
4. Light Clothing
• The parks can get hot even on a cool Florida
day. The sun in Florida shines more than 300
days per year. Be sure to bring light natural
moisture wicking clothing. A light sweater or
sweatshirt that can be worn over a tank top is
great for the evening.
5. Small Backpack
• You will need something small to put your
wallet and cell phone in. All bags are checked
at the entrance so the easier it is to open, the
quicker you will get through the line. Keeping
it small will force you to pack light.
6. Sunglasses
• The sun is Florida is very bright. Bring a
couple of pair cheap pair of sunglasses that
you won’t mind if they fly off your face on one
of the thrill rides. Replacement glasses at the
parks will set you back about $20-25 so having
an extra pair will save you in the long run.
7. Suntan Lotion
• Our recommendation is SPF 30 or more.
Make sure to remember to cover your neck,
ears and head.
8. A HAT
A light hat such as a baseball cap or a
floppy sun hat will help protect your head
from the sun.
Remember though, to stow them on the
rides as they will fly off.
9. Hand Sanitizer
• Why ruin your vacation with getting a cold.
Germs are everywhere- including the parks.
Disney alone has over 17 million visitors per
year. That is a lot of germs! Bring a small
container of hand sanitizer and use it often.
10. Refillable Water Bottle
• A refillable water bottle for each person in
your party is a must Staying hydrated is very
important to keep your day on track and not
getting heat sick.
11. PERSONAL SPRAY BOTTLE
The small personal spray bottles- some with
fans are not a must have, but a nice have.
The cool mist that they provide can be so
refreshing.
12. Portable Cell Phone Charger
• if your party needs to divide and conquer- a
cell phone is a convenient way to stay in
touch. There are many brands of keychain
sized chargers that will charge up a dead
phone.
13. RAIN PONCHO
Especially in summer, the heat can cause
afternoon showers. Be prepared with a
light weight poncho. They are also great
for rides like the Great Kali River Rapid
ride where you are bound to get wet! You
can pick one up for less than $1 at local
discount retailers.
14. EASY SNACKS
Quick snacks, such as granola bars or nuts are great to have
when someone in the party decides they are starving! This
usually happens when you are near the entrance to that ride
you just spent the last hour waiting to get in!
