We have been to Disney and Disneyland 3 times each now...I'll share our favorite park in another post! But, we have been so many times and have become experts on knowing what to pack for our family!

1. GOOD WALKING SHOES! In the summer time, this is a pair of sandals like [ad] Teva (these are may favorite and I have worn them for each summer trip). If you are going in the winter, check the weather ahead of time. Our family wore our Brooks and New Balance shoes throughout the entire trip. You will want to bring 2 PAIRS because even though its winter, at some point you'll want to ride a water ride or you may even get stuck in a rain storm and having wet shoes for days is a bad idea!

2. SLING BAG! We used backpacks the first time and both my husband and I carried one. That was a MISTAKE! It was too bulky and got too heavy throughout the day. The last 5 times we went, I used my [ad] Waterfly Crossbody Sling Bag and couldn't be happier! Well, maybe the one thing I would change is the color because then I could let my husband wear it sometimes throughout the day. But this is a much lighter-weight option than a backpack. I especially love the zipper pocket on the strap in front which always gave me easy access to my phone for navigation, pictures, etc.

3. ZIPLOC BAGS! This may seem silly, but they came in handy more often than you think! Whether you are riding the water rides or get stuck in a quick downpour, they protected our phones, even our epipen!

4. PORTABLE CHARGERS! Without a doubt! I would bring at least 1, but two if you can. We used Touringplans for all of our park navigation and planning and you'll want to use the new Disney apps throughout the day.

5. BANDAIDS! Regardless of how comfy your shoes are...you will need bandaids at some point and you can carry a handful in the small pockets of the sling bag.

6. LIP BALM! This is a must in summer AND winter! Bring enough for everyone, otherwise your husband will inevitably ask for it right when you put it away...EVERY TIME.

7. PONCHOS! Even if you don't think you need these, at least bring them with you on your trip and you can decide each morning whether or not to bring them into the parks. You can buy the [ad] Emergency Ponchos in a larger pack or a little bit of a [ad] better version here. Either way, it wasn't fun shelling out $12 for EACH poncho on our last trip...the one time we didn't bring them!

8. SUNGLASSES! Summer or Winter...you will need these! I wouldn't bring your BEST pair because of all of the times you put into your bag and take out of your bag, but still bring something!

9. SUNSCREEN! Also, bring this in Summer AND Winter! Just a small bottle or squeeze tube. You can even bring a few with you on your trip and just pack 1 until it runs out and then switch out for a new one the next day.

10. MOTION SICKNESS BANDS! I do not leave anywhere without [ad] these. I often get car sick just turning around to get something from the backseat, so sometimes the rides get to me! I wear these from the moment we leave the house to the moment we get home and never have any issues. I'm on my 4th pair now!
