Packing for an entire family is a daunting task for any vacation but it can be especially hard to figure out what to bring when you and your kids are going to be spending an entire week at Disney. Trying to decide what all to bring for a baby or toddler adds even more stress.
I’m the type of mom who would rather over pack than under pack. I want to be as prepared as I can without carrying around super heavy bags all day. I have gone to Disney with my kids at different ages and am going to share with you my top picks to make a day in the park as seamless as possible.
The first items to take into considereation are anything that your child may need for medical or nutrtitional needs. For info on how we navigate Disney with allergies, check out this post.
A great bag really greatly impact how well a long day in the Florida sun will go. You’ll need something with a lot of compartments and space but that’s breathable as well.
- Over 1,000,000 units sold – Trust in our proven quality! What you’ll get – 1 normal size backpack diaper bag (size: 11.8”x 7.8”x16.5”, weight: 1.78lb) with a changing pad (size: 23”x15”) and a pacifier case. Two big zipper closure compartments and 17 pockets, spacious enough to hold most of baby essentials and still look perfectly organized, without being too large or too small. Insulated bottle pockets can hold most of wide neck or tall baby bottles, from 5 oz to 11oz.
- Upgrade Handy Construture – The interior of our diaper bag includes a padded laptop pocket, mesh pocket organizers and other organization essentials. Maintain the temperature of your baby bottles in the insulated pockets, never lose your keys and wallet in the mommy pocket, and quickly grab a diaper out of the mesh diaper organizer
- Designed for Convenience – Extra wide opening makes this diaper backpack easy to find essentials in a pinch, and dual zippers for easy-access & closure even with one hand! Easy-grab handle & back ergonomic design & thick padded shoulder straps offer you a comfortable carrying and force reinforcement
Here is a bag that will hold alot and keep everything organized. It features insulated pockets for bottles, lots of compartments, a pacifier holder and it’s waterproof! This breathable fabric option should be perfect for hot days at the parks. And if you’re really not sure that you want to carry around the bag on your shoulders all day, these attachable stroller hooks will allow you to hook the bag to your stroller.
- MULTI-FUNCTIONAL PARTITION: It features plenty of pockets to stash all your baby’s essentials, from tissue pocket, detachable front pocket, phone slot and other storage space. The unique aspect is the heightened cup holder on the right can be opened in a pulling-out way from the top to put higher baby bottle, so as to prevent it from slipping even if shaken hard. And the left insulated one can keep water bottle, thermal cup or coffee cup.
- TOP DESIGN & DURABILITY: The removable wristlet pocket for quick access to phone, lipsticks and other small items. With the adjustable strap, use the organizer as a shoulder bag when carrying the baby for walks. Using thicker waterproof Oxford material, embedding the metal frame and bottom board inside, strengthening the edge achieves better transverse and longitudinal support. Those exclusive strengths other competitors don’t possess- makes the bag more durable and stays upright.
If you need more cup holders or space on your stroller, which let’s be real, who doesn’t? Then this attachable stroller caddy will be perfect. It has a lot of extra space and is available in lots of colors and prints. This would be a great way to keep tissues and cups or even cell phones handy.
- Party Favors and Supplies: Brighten up your kiddo’s birthday party or other fun events with this neon rainbow 20-piece party pack of Take and Toss sippy cups and lids
- Spill Proof Sippy Cups: This rainbow party pack features sippy cups with interchangeable snap-on lids to prevent spills; and these lids make cleaning easy with a valve-free design
- Toddler Travel Cup: Each sippy cup can be reused again and again and the spill-proof design helps keeps drinks in the cup and off your little one when they’re on the go
- Day Care Ready: Write your kid’s name on the Take and Toss toddler cup with a food-safe marker to ensure they never lose it during recess or when you’re out and about
- Easy to Clean: Make sure they always have their favorite color with a dishwasher-safe design for stress-free cleaning, and they’re made without BPA
Speaking of sippy cups, I love these Take and Toss cups. We use them every time we travel! And I do mean every time we travel! They come in a pack of twenty which is really great so that you’re not worrying about constantly washing sippy cups. Simply toss the old and start a brand new one when needed. Once I’m ready to wash dishes I usually wash them and save them. They make great kids’ cups anytime and getting multiple uses out of them is a good way to get your money’s worth!
- REUSABLE WET BAGS – Great travel organizers for carrying diapers and baby essentials, dirty gym clothes and wet swimsuits; not just for wet stuff – these bags make excellent organizers for toys, accessories, toiletries, electronics, travel and more
- REUSE AND REDUCE WASTE – The better alternative to single-use plastic bags, our bags are made from Bumkins’ original waterproof fabric that’s both soft and strong (although fabric is waterproof, bags are not completely leakproof due to zippered closure)
- WATERPROOF – Bumkins’ original fabric is 100-percent polyester with embedded TPU for waterproofing and our heat-sealed seams keep the mess where it belongs – inside the bag
- LOTS OF USES – Not just for wet stuff – these bags make excellent organizers for storage and travel; with a snap handle, snap your bag wherever you need it – stroller, changing table or suitcase
- EASY TO CLEAN – Hand-wash or machine wash; to extend the life of fabric, we do recommend hang drying our quick-dry fabric; always ensure fabric is completely dry before storing
More than likely at some point on your trip, you’re going to have soiled clothes. Kids are definitely messy but my solution is these Mickey wet bags. There are lots of cute Disney prints to choose from and they’re reusable for your entire trip.

There are so many stroller options it can feel overwhelming trying to pick out one that’s compact enough but big enough for carrying your kids and all of the merchandise you’ll be buying. This stroller is our favorite to bring to the parks. Our son is now four years old and he’s pretty tall but this stroller continues to fit him as well as our collapsible (loaded to the brim) cooler and more! It folds up fairly compact which definitely comes in handy. We’ve had it almost three years and it has held up well.
If you have more than one little one needing a ride, this double stroller would be a great option. It folds up compact as well and even has a carry strap for easily toting it around.
If you don’t want to worry with the hassle of bringing your own stroller, you can of course rent strollers in the parks for a fee. There are also stroller rental services available in Orlando for your stay through third party rental companies.

While there are first aid stations on Disney property, I find it best to bring my own bad aids. This first aid kit is small and will fit perfectly in most bags. Also, if you or anyone in your family has special medication needs, these are my favorites for keeping epi pens temperature regulated or organizing pills.
