    10 Things I Always Have in My Park Bag at Walt Disney World

    1. Gum and candy Disney World is full of magic, dreams come true, fantasy, fun and out-of-this-world attractions. But you won’t find gum at Disney World; it isn’t sold in the parks. And for good reason—remember looking on the underneath side of your desk in elementary school? Imagine if gum were sold at Disney. Parts of the parks might re

    10 Things I Always Have in My Park Bag at Walt Disney World

    2. Bubbles I carry a small bottle of bubbles in the front pocket of my Disney World backpack (tightly closed, I might add). I used to carry them for my own children. Bubbles came in handy when they grew restless and cranky while standing in a queue. Now that I have pre-teens and teenagers, I still carry bubbles in my bag, but not so much

    3. Portable charger I also carry a portable charger in my park bag. I purchased mine at Best Buy for around $50, which sounds a little high for a portable charger, but you really get what you pay for when it comes to these chargers. Remember when I was a rookie—when I didn’t bring a bag into the parks? That’s the same time in my life when

Inside my Toy Story backpack, you will always find a Zip-loc bag of quarters and pennies, as well as a Zip-loc bag of official Disney trading pins that I’m hoping to trade with a Cast Member or another Guest.

    5. Baby wipes My park bag is best friends with my package of baby wipes. Baby wipes are one of the most useful items ever invented. What can’t you use them for? Wipe sticky hands (the kids’ and your husband’s), wipe sticky mouths, cool off sweaty brows—the list goes on. Huggies makes really cute Disney-themed packages of baby wipes. What

    6. Medications that don’t need refrigeration Two of my four children have to take medicine during the day while we are in the parks. My daughter needs her inhaler with her in case of an asthma attack, and my son who has autism takes lunchtime medicine. So I keep their medicines in my park bag. I also bring along Tylenol or Advil for the o

    7. Ponchos Central Florida 101: it rains often, especially in the spring and summer. It’s not usually for very long; some showers only last for 20 minutes, but what those Florida showers lack in duration, they make up for in intensity. Many times, a lot of rain will fall in a short amount of time. And even though rain is no reason to leav

    8. Clean socks and a gallon Zip-loc bag I always have clean socks in my Disney bag—one pair for each member of my family. Why? For two reasons—water rides and rain. If your clothes get wet, they will dry over time—very quickly in the summer months. But if your socks get wet, they dry much more slowly, and no one wants to walk around the p
