Park bag - what am I forgetting?

[Kirsti]

OK, so this may just be me entering into last minute panic stage, as we fly out tomorrow morning ... but...

Here's what I've packed in a small pouch to go with us to the parks each day. We are two older adults, no kids. We will have our refillable water bottles, sunscreen, rain ponchos, phone battery packs separately, and already have lanyards for our masks. What am I missing?

• Hand sanitizer
• Tide pen
• Tylenol
• Band aids
• Blister treatment
• Dramamine
• Tums
• Tissues
• Travel wipes
• Spare masks

Any other suggestions/ideas/essentials? I've got about an hour window today to shop for stuff...

lip balm & gum

Oooh, good ideas, both. And easy enough to fit in. I should probably try and track down my SPF lipbalm too...

Credit card or cash. I have a cloth change purse that is easily accessible in the front pocket of my disney bag. If you have long hair a few hair ties. Maybe a comb?

I like a small (travel) bottle of lotion in my bag - with all the extra handwashing and hand sanitizer I use, my hands get SOOOO dry!

I also tend to keep a ziploc bag or two folded down to a small size in the bottom of my bag!! I feel like they always get used!

Thank you both! Those are going on my list, and into the suitcase. Especially with all the hand sanitizing and washing, I agree that my travel hand cream needs to be in there! My hair is long, so yes, extra hair ties will be a must for that "go to" pouch as well. I'll try and look at the airport for a travel/foldable comb because that's a great idea too.

Now I just have to breathe and trust that it'll be OK even if I've forgotten something...

All great ideas! Also as a reminder, First Aid is available in all parks & has gotten me out of plenty of jams for that one item I forgot (or never thought) to pack! Along with sundries sold in various locations - yes, it might be an extra buck or so but worth it in a tough spot. Have a great trip!
