I’ve been going to the Disney World theme parks for the majority of my life (over 16 years). For the last 3 years, I have packed the same way for my trips because I have narrowed my Disney packing list down to perfection.

Easy does it!
That’s why I was seriously hesitant to add 3 new items to the list, because I didn’t want to mess with perfection. I was hardcore side-eyeing these necessities until I used them. Now, I’ll never go back!
It takes a lot for me to change my Disney World packing list; it feels like I can’t make it any better! I don’t pack anything that weighs me down, and I have all of my necessities at the ready. But it is true that I can improve upon perfection, so I tried three new items for Disney World.
Disney Baby Side Sling Stroller Cargo Net
When the team first saw this stroller net, we really weren’t sure how much anyone would use it. It attaches easily to the side of a stroller and has a Mickey or Minnie silhouette on the side. (You can choose which character you get). It was thin and not too big, so it wasn’t a hassle to add into our luggage. That being said, this was a huge surprise in the parks! It was so nice to keep frequently used items in it so we could grab things easily while we were on the go.
Silicone Waterproof Shoe Covers
The next thing I seriously rolled my eyes at were these waterproof shoe covers! It rains frequently in Disney World, and I have experienced more waterlogged tennis shoes than I care to admit. That being said, I seriously didn’t think these shoe covers would really help. Well, I was WRONG! These slip on easily and zip up to help keep our expensive shoes clean and almost entirely dry. They worked so well, and they let me keep going from ride to ride despite the storms.
GRIFITI Popcorn Band
Finally, this popcorn bucket band felt a little…needless. In my experience, the lid stays on most of the time, even if it does pop off occasionally. I just didn’t think I really needed it. That was until I realized how well it worked! This band wraps tightly around the popcorn bucket, so there’s no question if your lid is staying on. It’s allowed me to toss my popcorn bucket around and into ride vehicles without worrying I’m going to be the person who creates a huge spill. It’s an inexpensive way to give myself peace of mind!
This is my formal apology for the three items on this list. I am sorry for the side eyes. As always, be sure to keep following DFB for more Disney finds online!
