Orlando What to Pack

1 more image

Luggage and bags: I found it very useful to carry a small backpack where I could stuff my camera, sunscreen, fastpasses and what not. However, you should know that as you enter the theme parks, security checks ALL bags (even small purses) so it can take a while if you carry a big backpack with many compartments (they'll check them all).

Clothing/Shoes/Weather Gear: Definitely bring a pair of good walking shoes/sandals, and a hat or baseball cap to shield your head from the sun. If you go in the summertime, you should pack a couple emergency raincoats (the ones you can get for about $2) and carry them around in your backpack, just in case. A lot of people leave when it starts to rain, which makes it the best time to hit all the most popular rides!

Toiletries and Medical Supplies: Band-aids, in case you get blisters from walking so much, and sunscreen.

Miscellaneous: To save some money, we each brought our own reusable water bottle (the aluminum/ stainless steel kind; plastic bottles can develop toxins and bacteria, especially when it's so hot outside). Water fountains are easy to find at all theme parks so you can refill them and stay hydrated for free! We also packed plenty of granola bars to avoid having to spend money on snacks, and a few packs of gum since you can't buy gum at Walt Disney World.

Luggage and bags: Take a day pack with you . Lockers are available as soon as you enter for a fee of $7.00. You can store extra articles there incase you need them later.

Clothing/Shoes/Weather Gear: A sun hat, and rain poncho and good walking shoes , are a good idea for a day at the park . However we always come prepared. What starts out as a hot day can turn chilly as the day turns in to evening.

Toiletries and Medical Supplies: There are firt aid stations here but don't forget sunscreen . It's more expensive here.

Photo Equipment: Lots of digital memory and don't forget batteries. You can purchase them but they will cost more here.

Miscellaneous: It's a good idea to pack a water bottle for everyone . They can be refilled at the foutains . We always take a cooler for our lunch and store it in oor locker.

Miscellaneous: Bring your cell phone, Rich and I found them useful when Patrick and I were waiting to go on a ride that the other kids didn't want to go on.

Clothing/Shoes/Weather Gear: Although Florida doesn't experience all 4 seasons like northern states do, it still gets cold. In the summer months, it gets hot. Some days are humid while most days are just hot but bearable. This changes every year however. I've noticed that this year, it's far less humid than it was last year. If you plan on being outdoors a lot, shorts, short sleeve shirts, and sandals/flip flops will do. I'd also suggest bringing sunglasses and possibly a hat. Bring a sweater and an umbrella as well because it rains nearly everyday in the summer. Autumn months and spring months are cooler and most locals can get away with wearing jeans everyday. Believe it or not, it does get cold in the winter months especially in the mornings and evenings. I lived in Massachusetts for 16 years and I know what cold is. Think you can handle the Florida cold? Think again. Definitely bring a sweater with you if you plan on vacationing in December or January.

Toiletries and Medical Supplies: If you're like me and you burn in 5 minutes when exposed to the sun, bring sunblock and aloe in case you do burn. Believe me, the physical pain of sunburns will ruin your vacation.

Clothing/Shoes/Weather Gear: WEAR COOL CLOTHES,IT GETS,HOT,HUMID AND SUNNY!!!!

Toiletries and Medical Supplies: BRING SUNSCREEN.Also, bring aloe gel in case of the usual burn, and your shampoo,conditioner,your soap everything you have at home that is nesscasarry.

Clothing/Shoes/Weather Gear: durring summer all you need is a bathing suit and shorts posably a shirt but you get what i mean light packing. you barly need shoes mabe just flip flops for girls.

Photo Equipment: water prof camra so at aquataca you can get it wet!

Camping/Beach/Outdoor Gear: bug spray lots a masqutoes!

Miscellaneous: just have fun and enjoy your self! :) lol

Clothing/Shoes/Weather Gear: light colored clothing, loose fitting shorts, t-shirts and tops, airy shoes like the sandal-style tennis shoes, sun visors, sunglasses, poncho for the summer months (May-September).

Same as above, but maybe a light jacket as well and a pair of jeans and sneakers for the winter months (October- April).

In November through March we can have one day every 6 days or so where it can get really cold at night (in the mid-30s). It just depends if a cold front is forecasted to impact the State.

Toiletries and Medical Supplies: Sunscreen, vinegar is helpful with jellyfish stings.

Photo Equipment: I recommend bringing a digital point and shoot that can fit in your pocket. You really can't lug around tripods and expensive camera gear comfortably around the theme parks. If you plan on doing things other than the theme parks like going to the beach, then maybe the nicer camera gear will be less of a bother.
