Hi all!

I'm starting my list of things that are 'must haves' in WDW .. So it got me thinking... what are other peoples top 10 must haves when visiting WDW??
 
In no particular order:
1.) My Disney Rewards Credit Card
2.) Prescription Meds
3.) I will never, ever, ever go without Moleskin & scissors! I know i can buy moleskin at Dis if need be but will not go there without it.
4.) Extra contact lenses/my prescription glasses
5.) My Disney pins
6.) I have to bring my own facial moisturizer and makeup remover
7.) My Pandora bracelet/Disney charms
8.) Phone and camera chargers
9.) My broken-in sneakers/usually change into them at night and wear flip flops during day.
10.) I always bring my own beach towel/Disney related of course :thumbsup2

1) enough clothes for the trip (I dislike having to buy clothes on vacation)...I have a packing spreadsheet so nothing is forgotten
2) comfortable shoes...2 sneaks and 1 flipflops...footware gets wet in Florida and dries slowly
3) Lightweight crossbody bag
4) my own pillow (hotel pillows are gross)
5) extra eyeglasses and a string to secure glasses on water rides
6) small fold up umbrella that fits in my pocket (good for sun and rain)
7) my own toiletries and prescriptions
8) phone with charger and extra battery...and all relevant apps loaded like Southwest app, WDW and Universal apps
9) a vacation wallet that is lightweight and holds only what I need... I leave the everyday wallet with library card, costco card, etc. home.
10) my patience...it helps me keep the vacation mood even when things go wrong
 
--Sunblock! I have very fair, very sensitive skin, so sunblock is a must if I don't want to look like a splotchy bright red tomato.
--Poncho
--Phone charger
--A good park bag that's not too bulky but big enough to fit the essentials
--Comfortable shoes!
 
Replacement batteries for the stroller fan and the little screwdriver to open the battery compartment.
YES! Who is the sadist that designed that tiny screw on the battery compartment of stroller fans. Half the time we can't get the darn screw back in once the batteries are changed, the other half the time we lose that tiny screw while holding the fan upside down to change the batteries. Sooooo frustrating!
 
Hi all!

my list is very different then most
1 medican ( I will die with out it no kidding)
2 medical equipment ( again I will die with out it)
3 ID credit card health insurance card ( I have been rushed to the ER at disney before)
anything else I can buy it maybe more pricey then I would like to pay.

one thing I would do is think what would I need in the middle of summer if I went out side and walked 3-5 miles and stood in the sun for a few hours. This would give you an idea of what you will need. so good shoes sun screen sun glasses a hat you get the idea if you forget something do you want to buy it at disney or did you forget a few things and a trip ( it would take you a while) to the local walmart to pick up your forgot items
 
1. Scissors- I forgot these one year and had no way to cut moleskin for blister prevention. We had to drive off site to buy a pair.
2. Hanging shoe organizer. We put all our room and park supplies in the pockets. It keeps our room organized and the clear pockets make it easy to find what we need every morning as pack for the day.
3. Bandages and blister prevention supplies
4. Breakfast items for a quick meal in the room.
5. Crossbody bag for me
6. Backpack for husband
7. Fans
8. Phone and camera chargers
9. Bottled water
10. Toiletries
 
These are all great suggestions!!! thank you so much please keep them coming!!!

I have already packed away quite a few of these items since seeing them on the list, so many things I didn't think of!

Thank you! :)
 
my minnie ears- not buying a new pair if i forget them and they must be on my head the entire trip.
portable chargers
sunscreen

shared a room with my friend who drove and asked her to bring a case of water. It was GREAT. Since we always fly, we know it's not always going to happen. But knowing I don't have to pay (what is it $3?) for a bottle of water I don't get stingy when it comes to drinking lots of water to stay hydrated. Also saved a bunch of money
 
I guess I'll have to bring an alarm clock, as we used them! No smart phone; no devices on vacation for us.

Also must have a couple of those dollar store battery night lights that look like votive candles. Priceless!
 
Sunscreen, both spray for the body and the stick for the face, which travels with us each day.

Friction stick for those sensitive areas where heat and rubbing may cause a rash.

Medical supplies (med's and DH's c-pap machine - he would be miserable without it)

Sunglasses and hats

Small cross body bag for park

Photo ID - terrified of arriving at airport without and missing our flight
 
1)sunscreen, sunglasses, and hats
2)rain gear
3)comfortable shoes, backup shoes that are also comfortable.
4) trip presents for my daughter, they are special to her and fill up down time
5)goggles and some sort of new pool toy
6)stroller, this might be our last time
7)CC, ID, and passes-in case the magic band does not work.
8)planning ahead (ADR, fasts, etc)
 
1) prescription medicines
2) id, credit card, insurance cards
3) my broken in sneakers

Everything else I could purchase on site if I needed to
