Winter Gear

Toiletries
Most of us will remember our basic toiletry items; however, there are a few items that we might not think of. These are super helpful and the Disney pros don’t leave home without them.
Chaffing Stick
There is nothing worse than dealing with chaffing during a Disney vacation. With so much walking, sweating, and more walking chances are good that you will have some chaffing. Disney pros are ready for those issues by having chaffing sticks packed. These are amazing and really help keep those legs and feet (and anywhere else) happy. It is so worth having!
Moleskin
No matter how much you practice wearing your shoes before heading to Walt Disney World, blisters are probably going to happen. Disney pros battle these by bringing along moleskin. This allows you to stick it over the blister to help ease the pain and prevent more rubbing. With how much walking you will be doing, this can save the day.
Medicine
Disney pros know that being in a new area can cause bodies to get confused. To help battle allergies, headaches, stomach issues, and other illnesses they make sure to bring medicine along with them. Toss in that medicine just in case you might need it. It will save you frustration trying to find it at one of the Disney Parks or at a Disney Resort.
Clothes
Yes, we know that everyone will back clothes for their Walt Disney World vacation, but will they be the right clothes? Disney pros know that having the right clothes for the weather and walking is super important.
Shoes
Choosing the right shoes is so important when it comes to packing for Walt Disney World. Disney pros know that they will be walking 10-20 miles per day at Walt Disney World. Knowing this, they make sure they pack shoes so that they are able to walk in comfortably for those miles. They also bring more than one pair of shoes. Even if you have broken in your shoes, they can still cause irritation.
Slip Shorts
For women, these slip shorts are a game changer. If you plan to wear dresses or skirts during your trip, consider investing in slip shorts. These can help prevent chafing and also keep you covered on those exciting rides.
Charger
Our final item that Disney pros make sure that they have with them are portable chargers. They know how important My Disney Experience is for navigating the Disney Parks. They don’t want to be stuck with a dead phone. Tossing in portable chargers and cords keeps them connected throughout the day.
These are the top items that Disney pros make sure that they pack each Disney vacation. Now you too can pack like a Disney pro for your next Walt Disney World vacation. Make sure you toss these items into your suitcase before you head down.
