Disney World

Our team goes to Disney World every day, but our fearless leader has been the expert on Disney for 15 years! We finally asked AJ what’s in her Disney park bag, and we were so surprised by her must-haves! We’re spilling her secrets here.

Have you ever wondered what AJ’s must-haves are when she’s in Disney World? Well, we’re peeling back the curtain (or we guess opening the zipper) to show you her necessities that help her get through any Disney day. Let’s dive into her bag!

Carmex Lip Balm

Nothing ruins a Disney day quite like chapped lips! This set of Carmex doesn’t just keep your lips from cracking, it also keeps them from burning. This lip balm has SPF 15 to help protect you from the harsh Orlando sun, as well as cold, wind, and dry weather.

Apple AirPod Pros

AJ has done a lot of solo Disney days, and nothing helps with that quite like a pair of Apple AirPods. They’re great for listening to music or podcasts while waiting in long lines and can help drown out some of the noise caused by crowds if you find that overwhelming.

INIU Portable Charger

INIU Portable Charger

Every Disney World expert needs a good portable charger, and AJ is no different. This one is light, easy to throw in a bag, and charges phones 2 times faster than other chargers. Normally, AJ is packing 2 of these to bring with her.

Travel Umbrella

UV Umbrella

Sometimes it feels like you can’t find an ounce of shade in Disney World, so AJ brings her own! This mini travel umbrella offers UV protection to help save our skin from the sun. It also never hurts to have an umbrella to save you from those flash rainstorms that hit Disney in the summer. It’s a multi-use product!

Mickey Mouse Hat

Continuing with the sun protection theme, AJ always has a Disney baseball hat with her. It protects your face and scalp from the harsh sun and random rain that you’ll experience in Disney World. Plus, it doesn’t hurt that this embroidered Mickey is super cute.

Eco-Friendly Drinking Straws

If you aren’t a fan of the paper drinking straws, you’re just like AJ! She always carries these compostable, eco-friendly straws with her so her straws won’t disintegrate into her slushies and frozen drinks. It’s still good for the environment but less troublesome.

Reusable Travel Utensils

Speaking of being eco-friendly, AJ brings her own utensils to the park! These are good for the environment, but they’re also super helpful on festival days! Have you ever searched for a table, in the sun, for far too long and finally snag one, only to realize you didn’t grab a fork? We have to. These solve that problem!

Portable Chopsticks

What are portable utensils without some chopsticks? AJ said, and we quote, “I hate eating Asian noodles without them.” We totally get it! These make EPCOT just even better and will be adding them to our reporter bags ASAP.

Bicycle Playing Cards

The cards!

Another thing to help pass time in lines or while you wait for shows to start are Bicycle playing cards! There are tons of different designs, and they’re great for families to play all together. It even helps you take a break from your phone, which we could also use every now and then.

Another awesome way to pass time in long lines is by bringing your Kindle! AJ is a huge fan of hers because it’s small and light, making it easy to toss in a bag. It also means you can carry hundreds of books at once without all the extra weight. It’s perfect for any travel.

Touchland Hand Sanitizer

Disney World can be sticky and germy, especially if you’ve got a kiddo who loves Dole Whip. (Or you’re an adult who loves Dole Whip.) Touchland hand sanitizer is a favorite of ours because it fits easily in all of our bags. AJ says hand sanitizer is a necessity, so we’ve got our set of three ready to go.

MiO Water Enhancer

It’s well known that you need to drink water when you’re in Disney World, but if you’re anything like AJ, you want a little flavor in your drinks! Our only hydration can’t come from Lapu Lapus alone, so adding a bit of flavor makes getting our necessary water easier. This variety pack will give you tons of tasty drinks all day long.

Sunglasses

Finally, AJ’s last necessity is a good pair of sunglasses. The sun is Disney’s real biggest villain, so bringing protection for your eyes can make you the hero of the day! It also will cost you a lot less to buy them ahead of time rather than in the park.

So there you have it, a glimpse into AJ’s park bag! Making sure you’re prepared before heading to the parks can make your Disney days even better. As always, keep following DFB for more park bag necessities.
