Theme Park Must-Haves.

Stock 3–4 per person for a full park day in Florida heat.

Apply 30 mins before leaving the hotel. Reapply after every water ride.

Put them on before you leave the hotel — toddlers are more likely to keep them on.

The single biggest comfort upgrade for adults on a full park day.

Park strollers get direct sun — this hat is non-negotiable for under-1s.

Disney's My Disney Experience app + maps drain phones fast. Bring TWO if you have a family of 4.

Game changer in summer queues — the 45-min Guardians line is brutal without it.

Florida storms hit fast. Keep this in the bottom basket — you'll need it.

Essential for water rides — Kali River Rapids WILL soak your bag.

Your feet will thank you by Day 3. Wear them from the hotel — don't wait until you're swollen.

Apply between toes, heel, and any new shoe contact point before you leave the hotel.

Disney allows outside food. Bringing your own snacks saves $40–60/day for a family of 4.

Disney has free water at every QS location. Two full bottles = $8+ saved per kid per day.

Put on BEFORE you feel sick — they don't work after nausea starts. Great for the plane too.

Disney charges $10–12 each for ponchos. Bring a 4-pack from home for $1.50/person.

Pack each day's outfits into separate cubes — huge time saver at 6am.

Lifesaver for parade viewing and short kids who can't see over adult crowds.

Kids are easier to spot in post-fireworks crowds when they're wearing glow sticks.

Have the autograph book out BEFORE you reach the character — keep the line moving.

Park first aid stations are free for basic supplies — but you'll wait. Bring your own.
