Disney packing list with kids
- Disney days are 10+ miles on foot — kids need broken-in shoes, not new sneakers.
- Florida and California afternoons bring rain — packable ponchos beat expensive park poncho stands.
- Mobile order on the Disney app saves meltdown hours in food lines.
Tips for this trip
- Charge a power bank overnight — photos, maps, and mobile order drain batteries by dinner.
- Pack autograph books and a fat pen — skinny pens do not work on glossy pages.
- Matching shirts help you spot your kid in crowds — optional but parents swear by them.
