More than one pair of comfortable shoes to keep you moving without pain. You really do need multiple pairs to keep your feet and legs feeling their best.

Sunscreen, all year long, sunscreen. In fact while you are headed to the store to pick up some more, toss a small first-aid kit in your cart as well.

Some sort of rain gear is always handy to have in Walt Disney World. Sure, you can buy a Disney branded poncho in the gift shops but you'll pay a premium. Pick up a couple from the local sporting goods store and home and tuck them in your bag.

Duck Tape is also one of those things that always makes its way into my suitcase and comes in handy more often than not.

A day bag to put things you will need at the park in. This can be carried or left in a locker to help you not have to run back to the hotel during your park days.


Stage Your Packing Before It Goes In Your Suitcase

Pop-up hampers can be extremely useful in keeping your hotel room neat, making sure you don't leave anything behind.

Bring along a collapsible duffle bag in case your souvenirs put you overweight on the way home. They fold up small, mine lives in the small front zipper compartment of my regular suitcase.
