The Ultimate Disney Packing List
Planning a vacation to Disney is so fun, yet so stressful at the same time. There are so many things to do and consider when deciding on your trip details, it may seem overwhelming to think of all the things needed, or maybe needed. When it comes to planning your Disney vacation, some things can be decided up to a year in advance, or as late as a week in advance.

It only goes without saying, because there are so many details to planning your visit to the house of the mouse, it’s really easy to forget to pack something. This could mean extra stress and expenses during your trip, which can mostly be avoided with extra planning before hand.
This very reason is why I’ve put together the Ultimate Disney Packing List to make sure you don’t miss a thing! {click the list to download a printable PDF}

Make sure you check the Disney website for no-no’s, like self-sticks. These will be taken away at the gate, so it’s one thing you don’t necessarily need unless you are extending your stay and visiting elsewhere in the area. For more tips like these check out my post Disney Tips for First Timers.

I love your packing list. Thanks
Thanks for sharing a great and effective packing list with us. I think parents can also bring their own stroller if they have kids. This will help them to handle their babies very easily and it reduce their cost. This is my personal opinion from my past experience.
