What are your essentials that you bring to the park?

[awoogala]

For your kids- say 8 and under. Do you have your older kids bring their own bag?

We try to bring as little as possible.My kids got every autograph the first 3 times, so we thankfully can see characters without lugging autograph books these days!
Our essentials for parks with kids:
1. Flushable wipes. For everything. Lol
2. Snacks (bars, goldfish, etc.)
3. Color wonder books (at least for under 6). Perfect for those long waits for adr's at crystal palace, etc.
4.band-aids.
5.glow necklaces (then they don't want every expensive glow item!)
6. Penny book. Main souvenirs my kids collect, much cheaper than other options!
7. Hand sanitizer. Keeps everyone from getting sick!
8. Some ziplocs for leftovers from meals!
9. Sunscreen
10. Bathing suits for water features.
11. We start each day with a cold bottle of water from the room, after that, we just purchase, since I can't handle carrying 8 bottles half the day!
12. Sunglasses/hats
13. We usually go in january, so we usually try and carry a hoodie for everyone if we will be at the park at night.
that's about it. We try to keep everything in one backpack or two hip packs. I don't make the kids carry anything so far!
