food IS a theme park
Hydration is extremely important when you’re at Disney World. We always make sure to have a water bottle with us, especially our trusty Hydro Flask.

There’s a lot of planning that goes into taking a Disney World trip, and surprisingly, one of the choices that may stump you is what bag to use in the parks.
When in the Disney parks, you need the essentials to keep you going!
It seems like an easy choice — you just need a bag, right? Why overthink it? Well, that’s how easy we WISH it could be, but the truth is, there are a lot of factors to consider when making your choice. If you’re traveling on your own, you may not need as much in the park with you, but what items do you KNOW you need with you? Then, if you’re traveling with family members, especially younger kids who can’t carry their own stuff, that means you need to factor in those items too. See what we mean? It gets complicated fast! I recently asked one of my coworkers, a former Disney World Cast Member, what bag she’d recommend for the parks, and her two suggestions check nearly every box you could need, no matter if you’re solo or on your own.

If you have ever stood in the middle of a Disney park digging through your Loungefly for one specific item, you already know the struggle. The thing you need is always in there somewhere. Unfortunately, it is usually hiding underneath a portable charger, a pair of sunglasses, three park maps you forgot to throw away, and a snack you packed six hours ago.
