food IS a theme park
Disney World is full of matching shirts — it’s practically part of the tradition now.
Disney shirts
From those classic “Most Expensive Day Ever” tees to the custom “Disney Trip 2025” family designs, we’ve seen it all. But there’s one group that’s absolutely stealing the show lately — the cousins. That’s right. Cousin groups are rolling up to the parks with some of the best coordinated shirts we’ve seen, and we’ve got to talk about them.
The holiday season has officially hit Disney World, and we don’t know about you, but we’re ready to celebrate and shop until we drop.
Stunning, classic details!
Whether you’re in the market for gifts for friends and family or are just looking for some new gifts for yourself, the Christmas season is the perfect time to check out all the newest releases and products you don’t want to miss out on. And, we recently spotted some brand-new Disney Loungefly bags that we think you’re going to want to see!
When you’re packing your bag for Disney World, you may be stuck between packing a larger bag to ensure you have everything you need or packing a smaller bag to keep your shoulders from hurting all day.
Packing all your park essentials is very important!
We’ve tried out TONS of park bags since we’re in the parks nearly every day, which also means we’ve filled them with various essentials. Some were big wins that we’d use time and time again, while others we tried once and vowed to never pack them again. If you’re heading into the parks soon and are feeling a little lost, don’t stress, we’re here to help — here are the essentials we have in our bag each time we walk into the park!
We love Disney World so much that we are willing to do completely silly things if it means our trip is incredible. We’ve worn silicone shoe covers to hide from the rain and carried a personal air conditioner in our pocket to protect ourselves from the heat, but have we gone too far with this essential?
This was incredible!
Florida is HOT, and when the sun is beaming and there’s not a breeze, we start questioning our dedication to Disney World (just kidding — it could be above a pit of lava and we would still probably go). While trying to find relief from the heat, we might have just come across the best invention we’ve seen.
If you’ve ever been to Disney World, you already know that Loungefly mini backpacks are basically the park accessory.
Loungefly bags galore!
They’re the perfect size for carrying your essentials, and they look so cute in park photos. Whether you collect them or just want a fun park bag, now’s the time to grab one — because a bunch of Loungeflys are currently up to 50% off on Amazon! These Disney (and Pixar and Marvel!) bags are seriously some of the most popular styles, and when they go on sale, they tend to disappear fast.
If you’ve visited Disney World almost every month out of the year, you know that Florida can get hot (and some months are WAY HOTTER than others).
We love this thing!
That’s why it’s essential to take precautions against the heat, such as staying hydrated (which is why we always recommend using water bottles) and seeking shade and cover in air-conditioned areas whenever possible. However, there’s another thing we also recommend: a portable handheld fan. We’ve got one portable fan, in particular, that’s always in our park bag, and you can grab it on Amazon now for $14.
Sometimes you need a cute pair of pajamas to make your nights special. I love bringing matching sets on vacation, so on those late-night snack trips to the lobby, you still look put together.
Hey Mickey!
We pulled some of our favorite pairs of pajamas that you can find on Amazon right now. The best part? They’re all on sale!
We will be the first ones to admit to you that we’ve easily been influenced by many of the “essentials” we see for Disney Adults. That’s who we are, so we’re not here to argue when fellow Disney fans tell us what we need!

Well, we might not question them, but there are some “essentials” we’ve tried out that we’ve then realized we 100% don’t need, BUT, at the same time…who are we to define the word “need?” Sometimes you don’t NEED a sweet treat, but after a rough day, or a day where everything has gone right, it kinda feels like a necessity, right? With that said, here are four products that, yeah, if you REALLY wanted to argue, you may not “need…” but also, maybe you kinda do.
Okay, we’ve all visited Disney World and had that moment where we wished we’d had a certain item handy, but didn’t.

The good news is that we’ve been to Disney World so much that we know EXACTLY what you need to escape that feeling. We know what essentials you’ll need for your park bag, as well as essentials you’ll need to pack for your hotel room. So we’ve put together the ultimate list of everything you’ll need for your 2026 Disney World trip.
A Disney World trip means long days in the Florida heat, surprise rainstorms, and endless photo ops — and the last thing you want is to be unprepared.
