Packing is a tiring process, especially when you have little ones along. It is your time to share with them the magic at DVC. In this blog, we help you understand what needs to be brought along (not as much as you think) with kids on vacation so that they spend more time on their feet. Disney and the DVC Resort may sell many such items, but having them at your convenience can save you time and money and pack many things from your home. Find a list below!
Wet/Dry Wipes
If you travel with the little ones running around, you will need wipes. This excellent and versatile product is a must-pack for your trip. Mishaps might be awaiting you; ensuring a few travels size packages handy can be helpful in many different ways!
Set of Clothes
There might be accidents where it is nearly impossible to clear the mess using dry/wet wipes. The best option is to pack a set of clothes to change. Pick some lightweight, easy to change and carry clothes. Cotton dresses are easy and quick to dry and bring a lot of comfort for long days in the parks for the kids. Well, a quick hack is to dry a shirt under a park restroom hand dryer.
First-Aid Kit
Disney parks offer first-aid supplies, but keeping your own few extra band-aids on hand can keep you from losing your spot in line on Space Mountain. (Especially for the first-day park blisters that spare none!) You can put your family’s most used first-aid items in a small ziplock bag: some emergency allergens medicines or tablets like Pepto & Tylenol. Just don’t let anything bar you from making incredible memories at the Disney parks. Make a note not to bring all tablets, but a few can save the day for you. Additionally, they hardly take up any room and can turn out to be a lifesaver!
Clear Out Your Purse & Wallet before Packing
Before putting things in bags, completely clear out your diaper bag, backpack and even your purse. Everyone loves Disney, but your Target receipt from the last vacation should not have a space to be carried along to the Epcot with you. While you might be condensing, switch to a smaller/slimmer wallet. You also need ID cards, debit/credit cards, and cash. The library card or visiting cards can stay at home…Need not Worry!
Refillable Water Bottle
Taking a small refillable water bottle on the trip might help you save money, keep you dehydrated, and clean the environment. Most restaurants provide complimentary water or ice refills with enough fountains across the park to refill.
Snacks
With kids around, you might end up in a situation of hunger pangs. Keeping snacks handy can be a lot of help. You can choose from multiple children's snacks in the food aisle at the Disney parks to stay with the theme of your DVC vacation or pack along with things like chocolates, protein bars, nuts, etc. Avoid anything that can leak or spill!
Sunscreen
You'll be out the whole day in the sun and the harsh weather. A travel-sized sunscreen is recommended to keep handy in Florida and California all around the year. This is necessary if you come from a state with less sun exposure. Use it generously throughout the day, choose the right one for the kids and enjoy your tour.
