Disney Essentials
These are my must haves for any Disney day! I would literally turn the car around if I forgot any of them.
First things first, you'll want a Magic Band! Not only are they cute, you can use them as your hotel key and park ticket! Way faster than having to pull out your ticket or phone.
Magic Bands
On that note, I literally cannot tell you how many people lose their magic bands because they weren't secure!

Let's be real… Florida water is disgusting. Disney water tastes like sulfur… I HIGHLY recommend getting a filtered water bottle for your trip.
Also: Did you know that a lot of homeowners have to get whole house filtration systems because of the amount of sand and debris that gets into our water systems?

You know those cute signature books that you have the characters sign? Well now they have ones with photo sleeves. Instead of going through the hassle of having to print pictures after your trip, you can have them print on the spot with this camera!
Fujifilm Instax Mini 12 Instant Camera
You're going to need a portable charger for how long your days will be! You definitely don't want to go to take a picture or video to find out your cell phone is dead!
Anker Portable Charger
I mean - it wouldn't be a Disney trip without ears!
Mickey & Minnie Ears
Beat the Heat
I hate Florida heat… and I live here!
Listen up! You do not want to sunburn - neither do your kids! So make sure to get some sunscreen before you go
Sun Bum Spray
Y'all, I live in Florida and can't stand the heat. If you aren't used to Florida heat, you NEED a neck fan to help you stay cool during your trip!

I swear by this hat! I wear the white one everywhere. First, wet the hat, then wave it in the air, and when you put it on, it helps cool you down!
Bonus: It's not clunky like other baseball hats can be.
Mission Cooling Hat
If you are prone to chafing, you need to get some chafe balm! You're going to be walking a lot more than you think you will!
BodyGlide Anti-Chafe Balm
A cooling towel for everyone in your family… or pick different colors for each of your outfits ;)

Don't forget baby! You want them to stay cool too!

My biggest secret!! Check ShopDisney before buying all of those souvenirs. A lot of times the prices are cheaper on ShopDisney! Also, you don't have to worry about how the heck you're going to get all the souvenirs home! Just order it and get it ship...
