If you’re headed to Disney World in July, this episode is basically a peek inside my suitcase.

I’m sharing exactly what I’m packing for our upcoming Disney trip, from the obvious essentials to the random little things I’ve learned the hard way after years of traveling to Disney with kids. Some of these are tried-and-true favorites, some are upgrades I’m testing for the first time, and a few are things I never want to forget again.

This is not a list of 50 things you need to buy before your trip. It’s a realistic Disney packing checklist filled with the items that actually make our vacations more comfortable, less stressful, and a little more enjoyable in the Florida heat.

✨ In this episode, we cover:

• My updated Disney packing checklist for a summer trip
• The new stroller fans I’m testing for Disney World in July
• Why I’m bringing a device that literally locks me out of social media
• The lightweight clothing fabrics I swear by in the Florida heat
• My favorite electrolyte powder for staying hydrated in the parks
• The waterproof sandals I never travel without
• Rain gear that actually works during afternoon Disney downpours
• The kid items I learned never to forget again
• Small travel essentials that make a surprisingly big difference

Whether you’re planning a Disney trip with toddlers, big kids, or just trying to survive the summer heat yourself, these are the things to pack for Disney World that have earned a permanent spot in my bag.

And if you’re anything like me, sometimes hearing what someone else is actually packing is way more helpful than another generic packing list.

I’ll report back after the trip and let you know which new items were worth bringing and which ones didn’t make the cut for next time.
