Disneyland (+other theme park) essentials

These are the essentials I bring with me when I go to Disneyland! I’ve been going to Disneyland since I was little and gotten my “Disneyland equipment” down to a science, so here are some of my essentials for a winter trip

>Backpack or bag to carry everything🎒: I broke my spine last year and still can’t carry a backpack so this was my first time using the Lulu Lemon Belt Bag and I loved it. I was able to fit all my essentials (except a water bottle) and was able to bring it with me on every ride. I especially like the “secret” zipper pocket in the back which was the perfect size for my portable phone charger and the netted pockets on the inside which where the perfect size for lipgloss, a hotel key, and my wallet. Even using all these pockets there was still space for my phone and some snacks

>Portable phone charger: I always bring a portable charger with me. Days in the park can get quite long and I’ve noticed that rides with low service (like Haunted Mansion or Indiana Jones) tend to drain my battery

>Good shoes👟: good shoes are a must! When I go to Disneyland I average 8-12 miles per day, and on a multi day trip these miles add up quickly. The quickest way to ruin a trip is by having sore feet. Bonus tip, make sure to break in your shoes for at least a month before your trip to avoid blisters

>Sunscreen: an essential even in the winter. Another quick way to ruin a trip is a painful sunburn, plus we want to protect our skin in general. I like bringing sunscreen sticks because they don’t spill in my bag

>Snacks🥨: snacks in the park can get pricey. I like to bring a couple snacks with me so I can save my money for the treats I’m really excited about, like the grey stuff, rather than spending all my money on little snacks to get me from meal to meal. Plus it’s good to have snacks on hand to avoid anyone in the group getting hangry

>Bonus tip: there are places to refill your reusable water bottles around the park. The weather was pretty cool when we went so we didn’t bring water in with us but during the summer I definitely recommend bringing your own water bottles!
