You might think of us as Disney experts (and we are!) but did you know that we’re also packing experts?
We travel all over, from Disneyland and Disney World to Aulani Resort and so much more, so believe us when we say we know how to pack a carry-on bag.
Here are some of our favorite tools we use to keep that carry-on bag as small as possible! We love to use these supplies to organize our bags and keep them under that carry-on size (or maybe just to keep more room for souvenirs on the way back).
Compression Packing Cubes 2-Pack
Packing cubes are a must! These help us keep all of our items organized and separated. You can then stack the cubes, and with a little bit of magic, everything fits easier in your suitcase.
Stow-N-Go Compression Hanging Shelves
One reason we love these shelves is that we can easily unpack them in our resort! We simply hang them up in the closet, and it feels like we fully unpacked them, but we didn’t have to go through any of the effort to do it.
Travel Toiletry Bag with Hanging Hook
Another awesome bang to hang! Not only will this bag save you room in your luggage, it will also save you room in your hotel bathroom. When the whole family is getting ready in the morning, trust us, you’ll appreciate keeping all of your items in one bag, which you can move wherever you need.
Travel Bottles for Toiletries
You didn’t hear it from us, but did you know that if you bring your own toiletry bottles, you can fill up on H20 products from Disney resorts? The whole bag will fit right into your luggage in leak-proof containers, too.
Travel First Aid Kit
Sneaking a small first aid kit in your bag is a great idea so you won’t have to worry about any issues later! This kit is super small, and before you head to the parks, you can throw it into your backpack so you’re prepared the whole trip.
We love sharing all the travel hacks and tips we know so make sure you keep following Disney Food Blog so you’re prepared for your next trip!
