However, you also need to start thinking about what to pack, too, ESPECIALLY when it comes to what you’ll need for your park bag. Long days in the theme parks mean you’ll need to have some essentials on hand. That’s why we’ve put together a list of the essentials you’ll need to have the best day possible each day of your trip.

We have a few essentials that will ALWAYS go in our Disney World park bag, no matter what. So we’re sharing them with you.
Get the Cooling Towels 4-Pack
Cooling Towel
It can get VERY hot and humid in Disney World and staying cool can be HARD when you’re running around in all that heat and humidity. However, we’ve found these cooling towels can really help you stay cool. Just keep them in your day bag, pull one out when you feel out, wet it, and put it around your neck for some sweet cooling action. Each cooling towel comes in its own pack, too, so when you’re done, you can just store it in its little bag and it won’t get your other stuff wet.
Buy the Anker MagGo Power Bank

One thing you’re going to be doing a lot of in Disney World is using your phone. You’ll need the My Disney Experience app for everything, including checking into your hotel, unlocking your hotel room, booking Lightning Lanes, mobile ordering food, and even mobile ordering merchandise. That sucks up a lot of power, so a good power bank is a necessity so you don’t end up with a dead phone battery before the end of the day.
Get the Sun Bum Sunscreen Mist

It doesn’t just get hot in Florida — you also have to deal with that sun, which can be brutal and quickly damage your skin. Protect your face with this mist that’s super easy to just throw in your day bag so that you can reapply as the day goes on.
Buy the Keychain Microfiber Eye Glasses Cleaning Cloths

If you wear glasses, THIS is a game changer. Don’t be scrambling all in the bottom of your bag for cleaning cloths when your glasses need a cleaning. These cleaning clothes can be clipped to your belt, the zipper pull of your bag, or anything else so you can get one quickly when you need it.
