What do you never enter the park without?

[vikingsfankt]

Planning our first trip and loved the first timers thread, but I was wondering what are the things I shouldn't go to the park without?

My thoughts

A plan
Sunscreen
Sunglasses
Ponchos


Any other suggestions?

Thanks

[DisneyWalle]

Tickets
Reservation Confirmation #s
Money
Sunglasses (wish we had carried these)
Ponchos, just in case (had to use ours this year - 2x)
ADVIL
DRAMAMINE

This is all we had in our bag this year and it wasn't that bad to carry.

[dawnbu40]

Your camera!

Good ideas, Thanks

[imthatgirl]

all i ever bring is

tickets
money
camera
ponchos(depending on time of year)

thats it. i cant stand walking around with bags full of things.

[Claroquesi]

Also a hat. Scalp sunburn is not nice.:headache:

interesting, I think you are the first I have heard that doesn't enter with a huge bag full of stuff

DH is leaning towards doing this, doesn't want a lot of baggage so to speak.

Do you travel with kids and do this?

Thanks
Kari

[nooneshome]

easy to carry Snack food. slim jims or crackers
koolaid singles - again easy to carry
gum - are you seeing a trend?

I always like the last few days of the trip because we seem to carry less of the heavy stuff - cameras and camcorders. The best days are usually the ones not carrying anything...

[DisneyTN]

I always have a small plastic sandwich bag in my pocket. I use this to hold my cell phone and camera to keep dry on water rides.

i have 3 kids. on our last trip last month they were 3,4 and 8. we used to carry the world into the world. but it just got to be a hassle. when our kids were in diapers of course we carried those too.
but things like sunscreen. we found that to be a waste. we always went back to the resort for a midday swim so we just reapplyed there. we would keep it in the car though(i despise the buses, wont step foot on one).
other things like hats and sunglasses, unless you are actually going to keep them on your body the entire time, are just baggage. my youngest did have sunglasses, but he wore them around his neck, so i dont count them as something we 'carryed" into the parks.
plus the ponchos i dont even carry. they go under the carriage and stay there unless we are using them.

[PocahontasLookALike]

Chapstick
Advil
My camera (with a baggie to put it in for extra protection on wet rides and in the rain...that's a GREAT suggestion!)
Poncho
Cell phone

These are definitely my essentials.

[bonybroad]

We were just there last week.
We didn't carry a bag.
Tickets in pocket, camera in other pocket. Sunglasses on head, money in pocket.
It was great, left hands free for shopping.;)

[portocall]

The less the better. I am always the one left to carry the bag so to speak so we don't bring much. I bring a small sunscreen called faces for the face since we are very fair and burn so easily. I carry money, tickets, a laminated ressie page, a large and small ziplock bag (because I am anal and like to double bag for the wet rides), camera, sunglasses on my shirt or head, and that is it. The camera bag is for my belt, and everything fits in that. I like to be hands free.

[Shannystamper]

Great help, thanks.

[noahdove]

Extra camera batteries:)baggie to put camera in for wet rides, hand sanitizer.

[2mickeys1minnie]

On my head are my sunglasses and usually a hat.

I wear my park tickets around my neck and so does DH..with one of those little holder things from Walmart (another great tip from my Dis peeps:)

In my overland donner bag are:
Dramamine
Motrin
Eye drops
Sun screen
HAND SANITIZER!!!!
Camera
Wallet

We will also bring a soft sided cooler in the parks (but it will stay in the stroller) with frozen water bottles, sandwiches and some snacks for the kids, granola bars for me and DH.

[tinkerbell34]

If I'm going without kids.....just the tickets, money, hat, and sunglasses....with the kids I add a camera and depending on time of year, I add ponchos, water bottle, and one of those waterbottle/fan combos. We apply sunscreen before we go and never have had a need to reapply. I have a travel backpack that I LOVE and if it doesn't fit in there it doesn't go! I also agree the lighter the better!

[iluveeyore]

Don't forget the band-aids! Necessity with young kids, as well as for blisters from walking. I always carry them, because the one time I didn't, I needed one. And they don't take up any room!:thumbsup2

[vikingsfankt]

This are all great things, I am leaning towards a small bag, messengers I think they are called, just big enough for sunscreen, hand sanitizer, and a few necessities.

Thanks for all the suggestions

[WillCAD]

I like to go bagless.

I travel light in the parks - well, as light as a 275lb guy can travel - and don't even stop for those bag check lines at the entrances. I carry no spare lenses, no camera bags (no bags of any kind), no full-size tripod. But I have lots of little stuff, which, after 19 trips since 1990, I have devised various non-bag methods of comfortably and conveniently dragging it all around the parks with me.

Your like a Disney Commando! ;) hehe :) Doesn't that get hot? What is the pocket knife for?

[WillCAD]

Your like a Disney Commando! ;) hehe :) Doesn't that get hot? What is the pocket knife for?

Actually, since there is no bag, it's quite comfortable. I've found that bags tend to cause more heat, since they often sit against your back or waist and hold heat, and they also concentrate the load, while my setup distributes the load more comfortably.

The pocket kinfe is for anything that needs cutting, scraping, or prying - packages, paper, thread, sometimes food (I try to keep the blade clean).

[D,L and K's Mom]

WOW , All I can say to the above it WOW!!
We never go to the park without Baby Wipes. They are great for hands and for cooling off faces.

[Twitterpated Dad]

WillCAD, wow! :worship:

I travel light as well. But, I prefer the REI Flash UL pack.

http://media.rei.com/media/ii/cdbdef80-415b-40d5-ba99-5d65c210d747.jpg

It gives me room to add a 1L Nalgene water bottle, a light weight fleece jacket and a first aid kit. Yes, I'm a scouter. I can't go anywhere without the old 10 essentials. :rotfl:

[gypsydoodlebug]

http://www.ebags.com/baggallini/wallet_bagg_small_rip_stop_nylon/product_detail/index.cfm?modelid=20442#

I use the small Baggalini rip-stop wallet bag, which has lots of slots for credit cards, ID and all our park tickets. It also holds my sunglasses, DD's sunglasses, a small tube of sunscreen and the digital camera. It expands, too.

Our must-haves, though, are Chapstick and hand sanitizer.

ETA: Wonder why that picture didn't post...

[mickeymousemom]

The less better...definitely! I always carry my Passporter Passholder(Dh hides it in his pocket so we don't need to go thru security) and in that I have some cash, keys to the world cards, drivers license(yeah, cuz, umm, at 42, I get carded ALL the time) and debit card. That's it. My youngest child is 5 and I've been doing this for 2 years. I slather sunscreen on her in the AM and we're fine the rest of the day. I HATE carrying a bunch of crap and/or going thru the security lines. I realized I never needed half the crap I took in. If you have an infant, its a different story.:)

[MrsCopper]

I have done the parks with kids, without kids, and even by myself. Our kids are now 8 and 10. No strollers for us. With the kids, I carry a small backpack (the string handled bag type) that holds my camera & case (all proper ID & medical cards are in case for me and kids), 2 water bottles (we refill them in the water fountains to save money throughout the day), a few granola bars, a few bandaids, a tabletop tripod (usually more for night shots), and tissues. Kids carry their own sunglasses and pin lanyards. My husband will carry money, tickets, cellphone, and PhotoPass card. I take a picture of our tickets and keep a copy in my camera and put a copy on our laptop (plus write down numbers in my journal) in case we loose them. I do the same once we get our PhotoPass Card. I put sunscreen on in the AM when we leave hotel. If it's just me or with my hubby then it's just my camera in it's case with ID cards, and a bottle of water. Other than tickets, money, camera, and proper ID, a bottle of water is my necessity. If I don't bring in a bottle of water, then I buy one as soon as we get there, and then refill it during the day in the water fountains. Pick up a Park Map and you are on your way!!!

[MALE*RN*777]

Lucky for us we still have little ones which require a large stroller with plenty of space in the under side bag area to place all we need including a soft side cooler for drinks and snacks to help us save.

[5 for WDW]

I carry an Overland Donner too. I take our ponchos, Tylenol for DH and I and chewables for the kids, zinc stick for the kids faces, **sunblock**(a necessity for us, I reapply it to the kids every couple of hours), a small package of wipes,cell phone, AP's, travel size deodorant and our Hidden Mickey book. My husband carries our camera.
It sounds like a lot but, it is all small stuff. We all wear ball caps and sunglasses too.:goodvibes

[bauerchic]

I just got back from WDW, and man, did I over pack!!!
We took 2 strollers, one for DS3 and DS5. One had a basket under it.

[U]What I needed:[U]
Lanyard w/ tickets (KTTW)
money/ID/insurance cards
cell phone
Ibuprophen
Chapstick
Lidded cups for kids
Camera
Wet wipes (for ice cream issues)

We lucked out in Sept, and only had one brief (10 min) shower, so I didn't need the ponchos or chamois cloth, the kids rode the strollers, so I didn't need extra socks or shoes, and fortunately didn't need any of my MANY blister inhibiting products. We also had the DDP, so didn't even need snacks!
Hope this helps!!

[Mick West]

pirate: We know there are things we need and we don't like pockets full of stuff. We carry a small backpack with many of the "essentials" previously mentioned - to include bagged snacks we make up and water. There are plenty of places to refill the water bottles. I take my "fishing" hat. It's a ball cap with a little larger bill but has a zip on attachment that covers my neck and ears, and it it is great. Many times people in the parks ask where I got it - I'm surprised Disney doesn't sell them!

[veronchichi]

i never leave home without:

tickets
credit card
ID -- driver license
health insurance card (cuz you never know)
hand sanitizer (cuz it can get gross sometimes)
camera
sunblock stick
band aids
extra hair tie
advil
vitamin c drops and/or sucking candies (for when waiting on line and one of us gets a little hungry)

and all of these things fit into my cute Harajuku Lovers Belt Bag -- NOT fanny pack, cuz that's just wrong -- it's a belt bag:

http://www.geocities.com/veronchichi/beltbag.jpg

[Miss Hunnybee]

I take a small makeup bag - Just toss it into a purse, backpack, diaper bag etc. I get some travel size things - Excedrin, Purell, hand lotion, Brush ups (not made anymore :mad:) or mints or gum (Bring your own, can't buy it at Disney), a small comb, tickets, room key, ID, insurance card, cash, lip balm w/sunscreen, Band Aids, small Neosporin and alcohol wipes (very small, individually wrapped, can buy at Walgreens for $2.00). It sounds like a lot, but it all fits nicely inside the bag. The passes, ID and cash line the side, as does the comb. Not heavy at all. It's best to bring comforts like Purrell and Neosporin. If you experience a hiccup, everything is there at your convenience. Best to be prepared - or so says my Type A personality.

[cinderwannabe]

We were just there last week.
We didn't carry a bag.
Tickets in pocket, camera in other pocket. Sunglasses on head, money in pocket.
It was great, left hands free for shopping.;)

Same here!!!!

[imsoscared]

i hate carrying around baggage.
on top of the few usual things most bring
1 med sized ziploc to put my camera and phone in for the rainy days
my 3x5 card for the day with a rough plan along with your adr confirmation numbers, helps a ton when they made mistakes, which even tho it doesnt happen often, they still happen
tickets, etc in the wallet
dont forget your extra battery and mem card for your camera either, dont wanna ruin half your day if u forgot to recharge the battery or overuse the 1 you have early in the day.

[churchpilot]

WillCad---we need to get you together with the guy who did that stroller mod with new wheel and lights. What creativity and ingenuity!!!! I salute you!:worship:

[PrincessBetsy]

When I go to the parks durning the day I usually bring this Nike gymsack with me. It is very lightweight and I usually forget that I am even wearing it. I keep a small pack of kleenex, bottle of water, camera, bandaids, suncreen, and hats in it. I usually just put my park ticket in my back pocket. I never carry cash, just my room card so I can charge everything to the room. When I go to the parks at night, I just bring my ticket and room key. I try to carry as little as possible, because when you bring too much it is just a hassel to keep track of everything.

[goofygrl4]

I've been going to Disney for the past 15 yrs. We used to carry big backpacks with EVERYTHING under the sun but now we've (I've) really compacted to minmal.

I take in a very small back pack or a purse:
My medication/ and medical info ( I have Lupus so I have a lot of info to keep on my person) oh and things like advil and tums
Chapstick/lipgloss
Hair tie/bobby pins
wallet (with money, id, park pass and debit card, insurance info, all that good stuff)
Camera and extra batteries.
umbrella, ONLY if the weather says it might rain
I keep a light jacket or hoodie in the car so if it cools down It's there.
oh and mini first aid kit with bandaids and packets of like neosporin
Sunglasses on my head!

this trip will be with my niece and we'll have a big stroller and my sister and I usually share items and compact the best we can so we don't really carry a lot the list may seem long but most of the stuff is small!

[vikingsfankt]

You say you over packed, what did you originally pack that you didn't need?

Thanks

[tegdig]

I always keep a can of bug spray in the car and spray, especially our legs, before going into a park or resort. We have so many times been bitten by the "no seeums". This seems to happen alot at the resorts too where there is so much shrubbery around the walking paths. It has happened day and night to us.I got bitten really bad at Candlelight one year and other times just from walking around the resorts in the daytime.
One funny story though, make sure you allow it to dry on your skin. We had parked at the Poly and sprayed ourselves. Went in, bought something at one of the shops and were sitting outside eating. I looked down and saw all of this red coloring on my daughter's leg.....I thought she had hurt herself, but it was the coloring coming off of the Disney bag from her purchase at the shop!!!!!

[vcgirl925]

Tickets
Money
Room Card Keys
Camera
Ponchos
diapers
wipes
change of clothes for kids
sunglasses

[iceetease]

Just got back on Saturday. Don't forget an empty water bottle, you can fill up for free at all counter service areas. Paper and pen for the must have autographs.

[AliceInDisboardland!]

we always pack snack sized baggies of trail mix to keep us going between ADRS :thumbsup2 and water to stay hydrated!! have fun!!

[MickeyNicki]

Contact solution and chapstick

[korg]

MONEY! Money, Money and Money! ... and don't forget to bring a little cash! ;)
TICKETS!
COMFORTABLE SHOES
HAT (for sun and rain)
If it's summer bring one of those personal battery powered fan/misters. :idea: You can get them at any Wallmart for 1/5th the price as Disney sells them for. They REALLY help in the hot Florida weather. Off season you can do without.

You'll be on your feet ALL DAY! If you've never done Disney you won't believe how sore your legs and feet will get. So we always travel as LIGHT as possible and make sure your shoes are very comfortable. (Expect blisters if they're not :sad1: ) I also suggest a fanny pack so you don't have to carry a bag or purse. And if it's summer i suggest one for the men as well. There's nothing worse then keys and a wallet chaffing your legs in the 100 degree heat and humidity. Photos? A camera is OK but remember it's something else you have to carry all day. Bring one that fits in the fanny bag. A Disney World trip is a vacation like no other. It's fun and exciting ... it's NOT relaxing!!!! If you try to do it all and go in without a plan it can be exhausting and frustrating. So do your homework, (as you are) and have a game plan. If you're going "on season" I suggest buying an unofficial Disney World book because some have tried and true touring plans that WILL help shorten your time in lines. So I think the most important things to do are to stay cool, keep hydrated, have a touring PLAN and TRAVEL LIGHT! I can't believe the tons of stuff I've seen people go into the parks with!! They ALWAYS looked stressed out! :rolleyes: So IMO it's very important to travel light and most importantly ... HAVE FUN!!! :thumbsup2

[FFRSPEC]

Appetite.
Good shoes.
Room key.
Children.

[jamescorey]

I usually carry:

a small hand towel (PakTowel)
several empty ziploc bags (varying sizes) and a small piece of tin foil
Ibuprofen, Immodium, and a few band aids
camera with extra battery
video camera with extra battery and DVD's
tix, id, and credit card in lanyard in my front pocket
small tube of hand sanitizer, small resealable wet ones wipes
sunglasses, chap stick
ponchos
two frozen bottles of water

[Dashzap]

Without kids: wallet, cell phone, chapstick; all in pockets or in a silk neckwallet if my pockets aren't secure against pickpockets and wild rides

With kids: the stuff I take without kids plus a fannypack that has two water bottle holders, one water bottle, ponchos for wet rides, epi-pen, antihistimine and a safe snack for my kid with food allergies


We wear hats and have our sunglasses on strings
We'll wash our hands in the nearest bathroom if our hands get dirty; I don't carry wipes or hand sanitizer.
We'll stop at the first aid station if we need a bandaid or aspirin.
I sometimes take a camera (not a camera bag, just wear it on its strap)

[Talking Hands]

I have a backpack attached to my PWC so I am not actaully carrying anything myself. Camera bag with cameras attaches to arm of chair. Other arm has a bag with snacks, meds and meter. In backpack is ponchos, change of clothes, tools for PWC repairs. Money, tickets, ids etc are on puch around my neck or waist. Small purchases get stowed in backpack as well.

[KayLuvsMickey]

GUM!

Its been said already, but for me, it's worth repeating.

If you are a gum chewer, bring your own, you cannot buy it on property.

[PocahontasLookALike]

WillCAD, what do you do with your camera on the water/wet rides? Your set up is quite impressive!

I do this:

Keeps it perfectly dry on any ride or in any downpour.

[jpeka65844]

For the grownups
Band-aids (blisters, dontcha know...)
Money
Park Tix
Cell phone
Headache medicine

For DS
diapers
wipes
snacks
water cup w/lid

Last trip we had a Macleran stroller organizer which kept DS's things on his stroller and not in my bag. HUGE help.

[macaronigal]

a positive attitude! :thumbsup2 Let's face it, it's supposed to be the happiest place on earth but things are not always perfect (no matter how much you plan in advance). Roll with the punches and go with the flow.

Having said that (and I said it mostly to myself because I am a control freak and we arrive in 5 days!) I also carry a messenger bag with the following:
little packs of kleenex
band-aids
pain relievers
polysporin - I try to remember to set one aside that is 2/3 used so I can fold it and make it small enough to fit in the little first aid kit I carry
camera & extra batteries and memory card
travel folder with money, credit card, medical insurance cards and passports
We also pack a complete spare outfit in the car.....is my control freak side showing!?!

I am curious about those of you who bring contact lens solution. My DD14 just started wearing contacts and I wanted to know why you bring extra to the parks - is this something she should do (something you learned the hard way was better off having than not having?)? I have never worn contacts or glasses so this is all new to me. Thanks in advance for any insight you can offer.

[WisconsinDisneyGirl]

WillCad-
I am very impressed!!!

[sss]

Let me preface this by saying i have 3 girls, 6 y.o. twins and one who is almost 4.
My necessities include:

wipes wipes and more wipes
camera
spare camera battery
cell phone
pain killers
swimmers towel for rainy day (best $5.99 i ever spent)
and a variety of spare clothing for spills/accidents/enthusiastic sprinkler trips

[Matt'nMeg'sMom]

We are minimalists. One SMALL bag per person and I refuse to push a shopping cart (aka stroller) around the park.

Mom's bag is different than the rest of the family.

first aid & sunscreen
camera & cell phone
tix / money
glowsticks for the fireworks. (I don't by the Disney light up stuff. too pricey.)


Every other person - including kids - carries their own small drawstring bag with their own emergency items.

hat or sunglasses
sweatshirt (winter months)
disposable poncho

[MickeyNicki]

chapstick
contact drops
camera
cell phone

[crazyfordisney2000]

You can get pain medicine like advil or tylenol , and also band-aids and polysporin at the first aid stops in the parks, for FREE! I had a headache in MK & went to the first aid station. They were so nice and quickly offered me Advil or Tylenol, my choice and away I went . \

Then during our next trip in HS my DS fell and scraped his knee.To the first aid station we went and they put polysporin on it and a band aid and gave me a couple of sample polysporin to go.

Both times I offered to pay but it was complimentary, it really made our day!!

[sherry7]

I've been making a list of things that I need (want) to take to the parks:

Either my mid-sized digital camera, or my much larger DSLR
Extra memory card
Extra camera battery
Disposable poncho
Sunglasses
Small wallet w/ Tickets, Drivers License, Credit Card, and Money
Tylenol & Migraine meds
Pads/tampons
Water bottle
Cell phone
Chapstick
Nail clippers (a chipped nail drives me nuts!)
Hand sanitizer
Eye drops for contacts
Bandaids
Small pack of Kleenex
Small comb
Printed plan from Touringplans (one sheet of paper...not the whole book!)
