20 Items to Add to Your Disneyland Packing List

When making a day trip to Disneyland, you probably wonder what you will need to pack. While you could waste your time coming up with your own list, we have a great Disneyland packing list!

Best Disneyland Packing list

20 Items to Add to Your Disneyland Packing List

Our Disneyland packing list consists of things that you may not be thinking you need, but are going to be thankful that you have with you once you get to the parks.

Here are 20 items to add to your Disneyland packing list:

1. Sunscreen

If you are flying, you are going to find that bringing a full-size suntan lotion difficult because of TSA regulations.

Sun Bum Original SPF 30 Sunscreen Face Stick
Dermatologist and Sonny approved, this non-comedogenic roll-on sunscreen delivers UVA/UVB protection and is packed with Vitamin E. Our oil-free, water-resistant and Hawaii 104 Reef Act Compliant Face Stick is great for all skin types.

There are two ways to get around this: purchase travel-size sunscreen, a sunscreen stick, or purchase a regular-size sunscreen on Amazon and have it shipped to your resort.

2. Reusable Water Bottle

While water is free at counter service restaurants, there are water stations located throughout the park where you can refill your own water bottle.

Stanley IceFlow Fast Flow Water Bottle
Built with Aerolight technology that ensures a lightweight bottle that is 33% lighter than standard stainless steel drinkware. Enjoy peace of mind knowing your beverage is safe from spills, whether you’re hydrating during workouts, carrying it on your daily commute, or throwing it in a bag. Plus, its car cup holder compatibility for 16oz and 24oz sizes adds convenience to your journey.

3. Power Strip for the Room

You can never have too many ways to charge your electronics and your hotel room probably won’t have enough outlets.

That is why we always bring our own.

3-Outlet Wall Mount Surge Protector
4 USB ports (4.8 AMP combined) for charging your tablets, smart phones, and other mobile devices.

If you need to charge multiple devices, you will be so glad you have a powerstrip/ charging port.

4. Anti-Chafe Stick

You may not think you need to add this to your Disneyland packing list, but I swear that this is one of those things that is essential.

Body Glide Original Anti Chafe Balm
Apply Before You Get Dressed, On Thighs, Neck, Arms, And Anywhere Skin Is Rubbed

These Body Glide sticks can be lifesavers for your feet and your thighs.

5. Hat/ Visor/ Sunglasses

It is sunny in California all year long. Do not go to Disneyland without something to shield your eyes and face from the sun!

Disney Mickey Mouse Embroidered Cotton Adjustable Hat
Adjustable hat is composed of lightweight and durable cotton fabric to allow for instant comfort when worn, and features a curved brim with stitching to keep the Sun’s UV rays out of your eyes

6. Swimsuit/ Water wings/ Goggles

If you are planning on swimming while you are on your Disneyland vacation, you will want to make sure that you have the things you need.

While towels are normally provided by your hotel, you don’t want to be without the other swimming essentials.

7. Nightlight

This is one of those things that everyone forgets to pack for Disneyland and is especially useful if you have small kids.

Night Light
With built-in light sensor, the Fesnne Led night light will detect the light intensity, light up automatically at night, turn off during the day.

Rooms can be dark and if you want to find the bathroom in the middle of the night, a portable nightlight that you can leave in the bathroom certainly helps!

8. Sound Machine

This is one of those things that we take everywhere we travel. No one wants to miss out on sleep because of noisy neighbors!

Sale
Yogasleep Hushh Portable White Noise Sound Machine
Take control of your sound environment and choose from three calming sounds: bright white noise, deep white noise, or gentle surf, and adjust the volume to create the perfect sleep environment .

While many hotels are sturdy, they are not soundproof! A good sound machine can really make all the difference in getting a sound sleep in a hotel.

9. Ziploc Bags

I can’t tell you how many times we’ve used these for various reasons.

They are great for packing wet clothes (for a variety of reasons), holding snacks, or just being used to protect electronics when on something like Grizzly River Run!

10. Portable Charger

You will be so glad you have this with you! You will be surprised how quickly your battery will go when you are in Disneyland.

Sale
FuelRod Portable Charger Kit
FuelRod is the first sleek and compact portable charger that allows you to recharge or SWAP your used Rod for a freshly charged one at any of the FuelRod touch-free* kiosk.

Between taking pictures, checking the app, and trying to connect with the Disneyland wifi, you will eat up your battery in a number of hours.

Be prepared by packing a powerful portable charger.

11. Lanyards/ Autograph Books

While you can buy these at the parks, I think you will find it far cheaper to buy ahead of your Disney Vacation.

Skechers for Disney

12. Good pair of Walking Shoes & Flip Flops

Two things you will need when it comes to your feet are walking shoes and a pair of flip-flops if you are planning to go to the pool.

These are my favorite shoes for Disney!

13. Small Soft Cooler

If you want to carry cold water or snacks like applesauce or yogurt with you into the park, these small soft coolers are essential.

Sale
PackIt Freezable Lunch Bag
PackIt is a freezable lunch cooler designed to keep contents cooler, longer: up to 10 hours (depending on external temperatures),Fits a sandwich, snack and a 12 oz (340ml) drink.

Don’t try to bring in a hard cooler, Disney won’t let you!

14. Costumes

If your children want to dress up at the park, don’t forget their costumes.
