What are your in park essentials to bring?

[BensWife]

We leave tomorrow for our trip! Woohoo! I've been to the parks a lot, but now that my kids are older (10 & 8), I am thinking I don't need to bring as much with us into the park. What are your essentials to bring in the park no matter what? Ialways take in my wallet, gum, hand sanitizer, my phone, and medication (Advil, tums, Imodium, etc), but now that the kids are older, I'm thinking that should be all I bring. What do you always bring into the parks?

I always carry the same things you mentioned. The only other thing is I bring a water bottle or two and two or three snacks. I also have my husband carry our Disney backpack even if its empty because by the end of the day it will be full.

I always bring an external charger for the phone.

I take a small crossbody. Instead of my usual wallet I take a small leather pouch with my wallet essentials in it...just the things I need like id, credit card and a little cash and room key card. Phone, tickets, chapstick, mints, Tylenol, sun glasses. Then the family takes turns carrying a cinch sac backpack with a phone charger and charger cord, hydro flask with water and a few snacks, hand sanitizer, small pack of Kleenex. We use sunscreen before we go, so we don’t bring sunscreen. That’s about it!!

I do a bottle of water for each of us (4 ppl), sunscreen as I have burned there in December, beef jerky, Tylenol, external battery charger, chaptstick, autograph books, pens and wallet. Sometimes an extra pair of shoes for the kids depending on what they are wearing that day.
