Planning your first or (5th) trip to Walt Disney World is always so exciting. But, it can also be stressful if you are an over-planner like me. You want your trip to be perfect for everyone in your family and you’ve spent time researching everything from touring plans to packing lists.

Many times, the one thing that often is overlooked is your park bag and the essentials that you need on those long, hot, and (sometimes rainy days) in the park. That is why I thought I would share what I will be packing in my park bag on our next Walt Disney World vacation.

Being prepared will not only make your trip more enjoyable but will save you money since these items are much more expensive to purchase in the parks.

Of course, before you start assembling your Disney park bag essentials, you need the perfect bag first. This can be either a backpack, drawstring backpack, crossbody bag, or sling bag.

You will be more comfortable if you find what works for you. I prefer crossbody or sling bags because they are smaller and everything is easily within reach. But, if you have young children or going to be the person who is carrying everything for your family then a backpack would probably work better so you can pack extra snacks as well as the items below.

Here are 25 Park Bag Must-Haves for your next trip to Walt Disney World

If you have been to Disney World you know that it can get hot, especially in the summer. The heat combined with the humidity can make walking around the parks sometimes unbearable. This Mini Handheld Fan is the perfect solution when you need a quick way to cool down as you make your way around the World Showcase.

Since Disney may still require masks on transportation, These Disney Masks are not only cute but affordable and include Disney characters like Mickey and Minnie. As well, as Star Wars, Marvel, and, Frozen characters. They have adult and children sizes.

If you are going to Disney this summer then you may find that Disposable Face Masks are more comfortable for you.

A Cooling Towel is another way to keep cool in the Florida heat. These are a must-have for any Disney trip.

This travel-size Sun Bum Sunscreen, Lip Balm, and Cool Down Lotion protects you from the sun and comes with a cute storage bag to keep everything together in your park bag so you can grab to reapply throughout the day.

It can get so hot at Disney and when you are walking so much, chafing can occur, which is why using an Anti-Chafe Balm is perfect for preventing that.

If you are heading to Disney this summer, Ponchos are a must. We have been caught in a few downpours at Disney and were very thankful that we had remembered to pack our ponchos or we would have been soaked.

A Portable Charger is essential at Disney since you are using your phone and camera all the time. Whether you are checking wait times or snapping pictures of your favorite characters you will be assured that your phone will always be charged and ready to go.

These adorable Insulated Water Bottle will not only keep you hydrated but showcase your favorite Disney characters. Don’t forget you can request free ice water at all quick-service restaurants throughout Walt Disney World.

There is no doubt that Walt Disney World is a magical place but it’s also a ton of walking and there is nothing that can ruin a vacation more than a painful blister from walking so much. That is why havingMoleskins are a must-have for any park bag.
