17 Things I JUST Started Bringing to Disney World

25 days and counting til our Disney trip for our 25th anniversary!! Thank you DFB guide for all your hard work.

I've been using ziplock bags for childrens outfit packing for 38 years. Makes life so much easier. Outfit, underclothes, socks, hair supplies(ie elastic,ribbon,barrettes etc.)and even shoes ready in an instant.

Leakproof bottles are one solution, but lately I’ve just side-stepped the issue entirely. Shampoo and soap in bar form, roll-on deodorant etc can’t leak; it’s also less hassle in your carryon (no messing about with taking out your liquids). You can even get solid toothpaste - you just chew it up a bit before you start brushing.

As a side benefit, bars of soap and shampoo often use less plastic packaging (or even none at all). For travel I put soap etc in special soap bags that allow them to dry whilst sealed (Matador make one, mine are by a brand called ‘Travel Buddy’).

18:38 As someone who lives in Florida, when we laugh and say the weather can be bipolar, we mean it. Winter - you’ll go from freezing to sweltering. I remember not long after we moved here the summer when I was 10, I looked out the front window and it was sunny and looked out the back and it was pouring. You just never know down here 😅

We just got back from our trip to Disney World last week, and your videos helped guide us through our stay. We had an absolute BLAST and avoided any / all issues. Thanks for all your content! NEXT UP, Disney Cruise!

Water bottles, cooling towels, rechargeable fans, third seat for rented double stroller, matching shirts, ponchos, water flavoring, dry clothes and shoes that can be wiped dry. Not flying.

AJ and everyone, you might get a kick out of this. In 1988 two friends and I flew to San Juan, Puerto Rico to get on a Carnival cruise. One of them is addicted to Coke and read that cruise lines charge an arm and a leg for soft drinks. So she threw a couple of dozen cans of Coke into her suitcase along with her clothes. When she opened her suitcase upon arriving at the hotel in San Juan, she found that all the cans had exploded and soaked her clothes with Coke! At least at that time, the luggage hold was not pressurized, so all that carbonated fluid just burst the seams of the cans! So: put all your clothes in Ziploc bags to avoid them getting ruined. Don’t put pressurized cans in your checked luggage! And make sure to put any liquids in your checked luggage into leakproof bags, or get the special tubes/bottles AJ is telling us about.

Air tags or Tiles are great for your strollers, too! If a cast member has to move it or (God forbid) someone steals it. You'll know where to find it!!

Both of my parents have been in the airline industry since I was born, and these tips are just great travel tips that we have done for every trip- even road trips. My fiancé was dubious about us needing a large collapsible duffle and a large suitcase for our WDW trip for just the 2 of us. Near the end of trip he was so glad I did both with not only how much we got, but just how disorganized our dirty clothes got 😂

Compression socks is something new we've been taking. My wife's legs start to swell after walking around for hours.

One tip that I learned on my trip I just came back from is to use the body glide on the bottom of your feet before you put your socks and shoes on. It significantly reduces blisters and irritation.

This video is an amazing guide for travel regardless of whether it is to Disney or somewhere else! I am sharing it with lots of people! Thanks for all your hard work and amazing videos! I love them!

Instead of a white noise machine (or app), there are several white noise, pink noise, brown noise videos on YouTube that last 10-11 hours. And you can play it while your phone is charging. There are also relaxation, insomnia music videos that you can use as well. I have tinnitus and I have to alternate videos after a couple nights because my ears get used fro them so fast.

Regarding the leak proof travel bottles...you can use whatever travel bottles you have and MAKE them leak-proof by simply placing a small piece of plastic wrap or a small ziplock snack bag over the opening, then screwing the lid on over the plastic. I did this when traveling overseas and it prevents leaks AND gives you a spare ziplock baggie or three!

Florida resident, 22 year former Disney manager and Disney geek since 1972 here (I was a year and a half on my first visit). Absolutely yes to the power block with usb ports and noise cancelling items! We just returned from a 5 night AKL stay, and the late night/early morning toilet flush symphony is real🤣. I would also recommend packing a supply of Liquid IV, regardless of the time of year you are travelling. Dehydration is dangerous and this product really helps keep energy levels up and helps prevent those afternoon or early morning headaches.

Great tips. Note: We usually fly with only carry-ons, and we've never had issues bringing small scissors on the plane. Current restrictions say they can be carried on if they are less than 4" (10 cm) from the pivot). :) Also, arm sleeves are great for layers; they keep your arms warm (or cool if you get them wet) and also block the sun. They roll up and fit in your pocket or bag without having to lug a jacket or a bottle of sunscreen.

The more recent ios updates now have white noise built in. There are only like 5 different sounds but it is very nice to have when you just need something there to fall asleep to. This can be found under “accessibility” “Audio/Visual “ “Background Sounds” -enjoy.

Definitely agree that those silicone refillable containers are amazing. I got one that was super overpriced like $5 for one at CVS but it’s the perfect size for getting a decent size of lotion and it doesn’t leak and is easy to dispense.

What EXCELLENT updated suggestions!!!! Thank you!!!

I actually pack this stuff for trips, nice to see I have everything covered. Except that I use Bose in-ear noise cancellation for the plane and an eye mask with white noise. I also have a ScotteVest jacket with removable sleeves for spring and fall. It has load of pocket and zippers. Great for traveling and parks. I can zip my sunglasses into a pocket and hitch a ride without worries. There also a spot to carry my portable battery - a big win! I also recommend that you print a copy of the itinerary and pack in an outside luggage pocket, in case it gets lost. You can tell baggage claim that and then they can track you down easier.
