Disney World Trips are the best, but there are always a few things I wish I brought to Disney that I always end up forgetting!
Fortunately, most of these items are available on Amazon.com!
Here’s a handy list of those thing, and why we always want them when we are at Walt Disney World.

What I Wish I Brought To Disney: Hand Soap
I love staying in hotels, especially Walt Disney World Resort Hotels.
But one thing EVERY hotel has in common is the lack of liquid hand soap.
As a kind of obsessive hand washer, I really HATE using bar soap to wash my hands. It just doesn’t feel sanitary.
Having a bottle of pump hand soap would have made things a little easier on our trip.
What I Wish I Brought To Disney: Good Toilet Paper
I’m kinda spoiled when it comes to toilet paper. I really HATE the cheap stuff.
While Disney Resorts do a lot of things well, quality toilet paper isn’t always one of them (unless you’re staying at a Deluxe Resort).
Bringing a roll or two of your favorite brand is NEVER a bad idea when traveling. .
What I Wish I Brought To Disney: Chewing Gum
It’s a little known fact that chewing gum is not sold ANYWHERE on Walt Disney World property.
Chewing gum is a huge hassle to clean up, and people tend to be jerks and stick it where it isn’t supposed to be.
So to keep if off of the ground or off of the underside of tables and chairs, Disney World just doesn’t sell it.
I personally love chewing gum, so I wish I’d brought it with me to Disney World.
Tic-tac makes my favorite type, so you can chew a piece as big or as small as you want. (I love the watermelon flavor!!)
What I Should Have Brought To Disney: Hanging Organizer
Most hotel rooms aren’t that spacious, and our family of four is always struggling to stay organized and find space to store things when we travel.
Upon returning from our most recent trip to Disney World, I saw that a friend had brought one of these awesome hanging organizers with her on her latest trip! What an awesome idea!!
You can put all sorts of things in each little compartment, and just hang it over the rod in the closet space. It will keep your room neat and tidy!
I totally wish I’d had one of these on our last visit.

What I Wish I Brought To Disney: Non-Coca-Cola Products
For my family, this was a big one.
My husband is a Mountain Dew guy. Always has been, always will be.
And he HATES Coke. Like, literally hates it.
Unfortunately, Walt Disney World exclusively sells Coca-Cola products.
While we’ve known this for YEARS, for some reason on our last trip we totally forgot to bring a twelve pack with us. By day 2, he was not happy!
Coffee got him by for most of the week, but as soon as we drove out of the parks on our way home, his VERY FIRST stop was at a gas station to buy some Mountain Dew.
I can assure you, next time, we’ll know better!
What I Should Have Brought To Disney: Small Umbrella
It rains in Florida A LOT!
Most days of the year, you can expect a quick shower during the day.
On our last trip I remembered to bring rain gear, like ponchos and such, but I forgot to bring a small umbrella, for those quick passing showers that don’t require a poncho.
I sorely regretted it several times during the trip.
PRO TIP: Take any umbrellas out of your bags when going through security. They’re often flagged in the scans and end up requiring a bag search.
What I Wish I Brought To Disney: Roll of Paper Towels
I’m kinda clumsy. I am always knocking over and spilling things.
Being in the small confines of a hotel room with three other people, I definitely find myself spilling stuff more.
On our last trip to Disney my son put a Poweraid bottle on its side in the refrigerator without fully securing the top on it.
The next person who opened the fridge got a pretty messy surprise.
Unfortunately, we hadn’t brought any paper towels with us, so we had to use a bathroom towel to clean up the mess. It was pretty bad.
I was definitely wishing for a roll of paper towels that night!
What I’m Glad I Brought To Disney: Zip Loc Bags
Ziploc bags are an absolute MUST on a Disney Vacation!
There are SO many uses for them. From saving leftovers to dealing with sick children, these bags have been a lifesaver for us in more than one circumstance.
I keep them in the room. I keep them in my park bag. I keep them in the car. I’ll put these babies ANYWHERE I can, just because they’re so useful.
Be sure you don’t forget to bring them with you!

What I Wish I Brought To Disney: Small Candle or Bathroom Spray
Staying in close quarters is always tough, especially when it comes to bathroom needs.
With four people staying for a week in one small hotel room, things can get pretty smelly!
During our last trip, I REALLY wish I had brought a small scented candle or scented spray to alleviate some of the stench.
I swear by Poopouri. It’s been invaluable for making a hotel room tolerable after someone has just “destroyed” the bathroom.
BONUS ITEM: Solar Back-Up Battery Charger
We use our phones for EVERYTHING at Disney World!
Between booking fast passes with the My Disney Experience App, taking a bazillion photos, and letting our kids mess around in lines with the Play Disney App, our phone batteries can drain out pretty quickly.
I LOVE having thisback up battery pack in my backpack, ready to plug in at a moment’s notice. I love that it has all different types of charging cables just built into it, so I don’t have to pack those. We own four of this model, one for every member of our family.
