10 Disney World Souvenirs We DON’T Regret Buying

By Kylee Gano 1 Comment

Choosing a unique souvenir is one of the best things about going on a Disney World vacation!

Snow White Ears

Perusing the gift shops for that special something can be loads of fun. You want to bring home the perfect souvenir that will remind you of your awesome trip to Disney World. However, it’s hard to make a solid choice when you’re faced with SO MANY Disney hats, t-shirts, keychains, fanny packs, mugs, and more! We’re narrowing down your choices with our top 10 Disney World souvenirs we don’t regret buying!

Souvenir Mug

People love their Disney mugs! They’re one of the least expensive souvenirs, functional, and with so many options, you can find one that matches your taste. Disney is pretty consistently coming out with new mugs so your choice will be a unique memento of the time you spent at the parks. Choose designs inspired by Mickey & Minnie , Stitch , or a cup inspired by your favorite Disney rides and attractions . We also love the Starbucks mugs and tumblers that adorably illustrate each park at Disney World.

M-I-C-K-E-Y

You can never have too many Disney mugs! We still have some from our earliest visits to Disney World in our frequently used coffee mug circulation! Plus, once you have a good collection going you can display them proudly in your kitchen or create your own mug wall! One of the best places to find a good selection of cups is World of Disney in Disney Springs.

The ULTIMATE Guide To Disney Mugs!

Event and dated souvenirs.

A great way to remember your vacation is with commemorative merchandise . Disney releases exclusive merch during special events and holidays . They change the designs to make the souvenirs unique every year. Visiting for Halloween , Christmas, or a festival at EPCOT? There are plenty of shirts, hats, cups, and more souvenirs that fit the themes!

You can also  find plenty of merchandise with the year printed on it. The dated Minnie Mouse Ears are one of our favorite keepsakes. They’re distinctly Disney and a great reminder of your vacation. Can’t find anything you really love? You can get the date inscribed on certain items like Christmas ornaments to make your keepsake fully customized!

Check out ALL the customizable souvenirs you can find at Disney World!

Refillable resort cup.

Speaking of Disney cups! We’re also big fans of the Refillable Resort Cups. For $21.99 you get unlimited refills of soda, tea, coffee, and other beverages during your resort stay. This is a great deal if you’re already planning on purchasing beverages every day, particularly at your Disney resort hotel. It’s a nice feeling to run down to your resort’s quick-service restaurant early in the morning to get a cup of “free” coffee or to pick up an evening soft drink after a long day in the parks!

100th anniversary Refillable Resort Mug

The resort cups come in a variety of designs, colors, and themes . After your visit, you get to take it home as a fun keepsake too! Just a note, you’ll want to take notice of these refill rules at Disney World. Refills are free to grab for yourself and you can refill them throughout your stay.

The Refillable Mug RULE Everyone Forgets in Disney World

Mickey and minnie ears.

We can’t write a souvenir post without mentioning ears! Mickey and Minnie Mouse Ears are the ultimate iconic souvenirs from Disney World. Disney parks are possibly the only place you can wear ears without feeling totally awkward. (Although, we won’t judge if you decide to wear them to your local grocery store!) We never regret picking up a pair of ears from our trips because they’re cute, unique, and SO Disney! For some, it doesn’t feel like a Disney vacation without wearing a pair of special ears.

Churro ears

Plus, they come in so many variations and colors! You can collect a ton of different ears or choose one special pair to bring with you on every vacation. Many of the ears are only available for a limited time so if you see a pair you love, snatch them up! The most expansive ear collection you’ll find is often at World of Disney and Disney Springs!

Shop for LOTS of Disney ear headbands online, too!

Refillable popcorn buckets.

More refillable food souvenirs? Heck yes! This time it’s all about the Disney popcorn. FACT: popcorn tastes better at Disney World than anywhere else on Earth (we’re pretty sure this has been scientifically proven 😉). If buttery, fresh-popped goodness is your jam, the best way to save on loads of popcorn is with refillable popcorn buckets!   Disney will release new popcorn buckets frequently and the designs are especially popular during the holidays.

Mr. Toad Popcorn Bucket

Once you purchase a bucket, you get $2.25 refills on popcorn throughout your stay. That’s just about the cheapest snack you can find at Disney World and totally worth it if you love popcorn! These are a solid buy if you’ve got a couple kids in your crew who tend to get the mid-day munchies. Since most buckets have a strap, toss it on your shoulder and you’ve got snacks at the ready!

Much like the refillable mugs, Cast Members will refill your bucket so feel free to keep those refills coming as often as you like. Ok, but what do you do with the bucket once you’re done? Collect them, display them during the holidays, or give them to a little kiddo in your life. They’re pretty sturdy souvenirs and can be used for other purposes after you’re vacation!

Best Disney Popcorn Buckets OF ALL TIME

Scavenger hunts.

Scavenger hunts are a fun way to explore the parks and discover parts of Disney World you might otherwise miss. The hunts allow you to slow down and discover the theme parks at a slower pace. One of the bigger hunts is Remy’s Hide and Squeak Challenge available during EPCOT’s International Food and Wine Festival.

2022 Remy’s Ratatouille Hide & Squeak Scavenger Hunt Game Board

Guests pick up a map from Guest Relations and then seek out all the Remy figures planted around EPCOT. The participation fee is $9.99 and once you’ve completed the map, you get a prize! 2022’s prizes featured a variety of Food and Wine tumblers. You get to make some fun memories then take home an exclusive souvenir! This scavenger hunt will be returning to the 2023 festival.

Everything CONFIRMED to Return to the EPCOT Food and Wine Festival

Lightsabers and droids.

From scavenger hunts to droids, there is something for everyone at Disney World! Much like the Scavenger Hunts, purchasing a lightsaber or droid is more about the experience than the thing itself. Although, the sabers are pretty cool! Star Wars: Galaxy’s Edge hosts two souvenir-building experiences that allow you to make a custom lightsaber or build your very own droid .

Custom Droid

Savi’s Workshop is a very popular immersive experience that takes you through the process of building a lightsaber. Ok, you’re not just building a lightsaber. You’re pulling kyber crystals, selecting parts while putting together your hilt, and activating it. All of this comes with a lot of cool lighting and atmosphere, of course! Once you’re done, you’ll take home your custom lightsaber and the memories of building it inside a real Star Wars land!

Lightsabers at Savi’s Workshop!

If you want to build a droid instead, you’ll get a similar, though slightly less immersive, experience. The droids even interact a little bit with the land in Galaxy’s Edge! Making both of these souvenirs even more tempting, Disney now sells separate droid and saber components to customize beyond your initial experience. This means you can swap out your droid’s head and body or revamp your saber hilt with new shapes and colors as often as you like! And if you’re worried about getting these larger-sized souvenirs home on a plane, no worries — TSA will allow both droids and lightsabers to be brought on a plane with no issue.

See our entire lightsaber-building experience right here!

Photopass or memory maker.

PhotoPass is a great way to capture special moments without whipping out your phone every five seconds. We’ve been there — you come home from a big vacation and realize you got LOADS of great family pictures…but you were taking them all and aren’t in ANY! You’ll spend less time trying to get the perfect shot of your family when you’ve got professional photographers around practically every corner! You also have the opportunity to get fun Magic Shots and photo ops when you purchase the PhotoPass packages. No Photoshop skills required! PLUS, you’ll get all your attraction pictures loaded directly into your account. You don’t want to forget your first ride on Expedition Everest, do you?

You can now ask a Cast Member to take your picture with your phone as well if you don’t want to pay for PhotoPass. There’s also an opportunity to book Capture Your Moment private photo sessions with Photopass Cast Members!  

Although PhotoPass photographers will take your photo for free, in order to download the pictures, you’ll have to pay individually for each one or buy the Memory Maker package, which will add $169 to your vacation package. If you have an Annual Pass, you can also consider adding on the PhotoPass package to your pass, which costs $99 (plus tax) per year . Remember that just ONE person in your group needs that add-on, and they can download and share the photos with everyone.

A List Of EVERY Disney PhotoPass Lens

Snacks and sweets.

Souvenir snacks and sweets come in two forms at Disney World. There are the prepackaged kind and the freshly-made kind you devour in front of Cinderella Castle! Both make great souvenirs. Allow us to explain. The prepackaged kind consists of candies, pretzels, and cookies you buy from gift shops that can easily be stuffed into your suitcase. You can even find some fresh-made treats like Mickey Rice Krispy treats bagged up to take home in shops like the Main Street Confectionery . Once you’re back from vacation, you’ll be grateful you stowed away some Mickey Rice Crispy treats for a little magic at home! When the Disney Dining Plan is available again, you can use your leftover snack credits for most of the prepackaged snacks.

Minnie’s Bake Shop Chocolate Flavored Crisped Rice Cereal Treat

While prepackaged goodies are great, we still recommend eating as many snacks as you can while you’re in Disney World 😉! There are so many cupcakes , cookies , and cheesy pretzels to be had! That’s where the second kind of snacks and sweets come into play! The kind of snacks that are so pretty you’ll need an Instagram pic before you dive in. Disney releases a lot of beautiful snacks that you won’t find at home. While you can’t take them home with you (well, you can , but your suitcase might get a little messy!), it’s fun to scroll through your gallery of snack photos later!

Disney is famous for revolutionary animation and art in their films. What better way to commemorate your trip than by taking home a piece of Disney artwork ? The art ranges from pretty postcards to   full prints and huge framed portraits . You can choose from art inspired by Disney films, characters, or attractions. It will add a little pixie dust to your home and make your day a little brighter! You can also have custom art created by Artists at Disney World! Pick up a handcrafted silhouette of your family, hand-painted parasol, or caricature   to remember your trip!

Magic Kingdom Parasols

You can find beautiful art in gift shops around the theme parks. One of the best places to pick up some art is Disney’s Wonderful World of Memories and WonderGround Gallery  in Disney Springs . Better yet, head to Disney World during the EPCOT International Festival of Arts and pick up a truly unique piece from a talented artist! Remember, you can always have packages shipped to your home if your art is too big for your luggage!

P.S. One of our favorite fun (and super cheap) keepsakes that are totally an art form in their own right are pressed Disney pennies! They cost exactly one dollar and you can carry them as your Disney good luck charm!

Learn more about EPCOT’s Festival of the Arts here!

While Disney souvenirs are fun, the most important thing to bring home is the memories you created with your loved ones. Yes, we sound super-duper cheesy right now, but it’s totally the truth! There are plenty of trinkets to choose from but the things we remember most are experiencing a ride for the first time, meeting the characters, or watching a show. Of course, that doesn’t mean we won’t spend a few dollars on a Disney mug too! 😉

Practical Gifts For Someone Traveling To Disney World

From trip planning guides and calendars to bags for keeping everything organized, these practical gifts will make you a Disney pro in no time!

Guide Books For Making The Most Of Disney World or Disneyland

Disney World or even Disneyland may be all about magical moments but the key to making most of your Disney vacation is to have a Disney strategy in place.

Disney without a strategy is just another frustrating day of running after the kids in an overcrowded, expensive place while the Disney characters walk right pass.

That’s where the Disney Guidebooks come in.

You will find a large variety of them on Amazon – so which should you buy?

The Unofficial Guide to Walt Disney World offers detailed and direct tips to make every WDW vacation count.

This guidebook has an insane number of positive reviews and the related app is great at planning a Disney World Trip.

The other recommended WDW guidebook is the Birnbaum’s Walt Disney World .

Birnbaum’s also has an Official WDW Guide for Kids .

Geared the younger audience, it has illustrations and interesting facts about rides that will enthrall all kids who can read.

How cool is that!

The Walt Disney World Magic guide book also has a lot of useful tips, inside secrets and planning information to make your trip smooth and easy!

Other good guides include the WDW Step by Step Planning Guide , and the Easy guide to Walt Disney World .

If you are visiting Disney California – then try the Official Guide to Disneyland or the Birnbaum’s Disneyland Guide or the 101 Disneyland Tips book.

For a Disney California guide that both kids and adults will enjoy, try the Going to Disneyland guide.

These guidebooks are the most practical gift for someone going to Disney world and work best for families.

Disney Parks Magic Band

The Disney Parks Magic Bands are officially the coolest gifts for families going to Disney World.

So what exactly is a Disney Magic Band and what does it do?

Using the Disney Magic Band, you can electronically load park tickets and room keys for Disney resorts so they never get lost!

The magic bands are worn on the wrist like a bangle or a watch.

The Magic Bands can be used to unlock hotel rooms, redeem Fast Passes, save and purchase Disney PhotoPass images, charge food and purchases to Disney Resort hotel bill, and more !

Magic Bands make entering and switching between theme parks and water parks easier with no tickets to keep track of.

Tip – If your family is Annual Passholder or staying in the Disney Resort, you will automatically receive Magic Bands !

For everyone else, we recommend purchasing the Magic Bands to avoid hassles of paper tickets and photo tags.

The magic bands are available in a variety of colors and have a fun Mickey Mouse symbol on them.

See all available colors as well as unique patterns such as Olaf the snowman from Frozen here .

Are you worried that your magic band will get lost?

To ensure that your or the kids’ Magic Band does not fall off, get a Bitbelt to secure your bands.

Disney Park Maps

This set contains all maps for the 4 Walt Disney World theme parks.

These are the exact maps that you get at the entrance to Disney World – having them in advance is very useful in deciding which rides to prioritize, where and what to eat, and hit the ground running at Disney World.

There are no such maps for sale for Disneyland because the California parks aren’t as complicated.

We had our maps from previous Disney trip and they proved extremely valuable while planning our trip with the kids, hence I really recommend them as gift for Disney trip.

They also work great in a Disney trip surprise reveal!

Disney Daily Agenda Planner

This book really exists!

If you don’t want to leave anything in your Disney Trip to chance then you absolutely need the Disney Daily Agenda Planner book.

Perfect for Type A personalities, this vacation planner has 14 days worth of planning pages.

There are separate pages for different activities and things you need to track of such as dining plans, reservations, must-dos, and more for each day.

It also has planning lists, planning tips, a plastic sleeve for storing maps, tickets, and more.

Disney Tip! Definitely add some of these practical must-have items as gifts. Buying anything inside Disney is very expensive!

Disney Backpack for Kids

Every kid needs a Disney Backpack to do Disney the right way.

Chances are you are going to be carrying the backpack for the better part of the day.

But carrying Disney travel gear is almost the rite of passage for anyone going to Disney.

This Disney Mickey / Minnie Mouse backpack is the perfect gift for toddlers while the drawstring Disney backpacks work great for older kids.

The drawstring ones easily fit water bottles, snacks, and other small items.

Or get this Disney vacation gift set with matching Mickey / Minnie backpacks plus Mickey / Minnie lanyards !

The ultimate gift for someone going to Florida Disney!

Sturdy Daypack

Finally, a gift that doesn’t scream Disney! A day at Disney is busy and tiring but so much fun!

A good daypack is essential to pack snacks, water, hats, sunglasses, souvenirs, change of clothes, swimsuit, diapers and more.

I love waterproof daypacks with lots of space and wide, padded comfortable straps like this budget Outlander daypack.

It has multiple compartments and folds down into a compact pouch. I also like that it comes in a variety of colors like the bright orange.

The VenturePal Daypack is another great budget option.

Otherwise, you can always go for a reliable brand like Osprey or Teton Sports .

Rain Jackets, Rain Coats and Ponchos

When we first visited Disneyland Anaheim in December a few years ago, it rained both days we were there.

We had to buy a Disney poncho from the park store and boy, it was pricey at ~$25/each!

If you know someone who has been to Disney for more than 2 days and didn’t have to get wet in the rain, then they are super lucky!

You can save so much by buying them online – this Poncho Family Pack of 8 Is dirt cheap and perfect to always keep in your travel bags!

While I personally like ponchos, I prefer raincoats for my preschool age kids since they are too small for most kid-sized ponchos!

We have the toddler raincoat by Columbia – excellent quality and works 100%!

Make sure to buy rain gear that’s lightweight and folds easily.

Keep a waterproof wet bag to stash the wet jackets away when it stops raining!

Also, it is always better to pack rain gear while planning a Disney Trip even though rain is not forecasted.

Water Bottles

Since we started traveling with the kids, food and drink-related items top my packing lists and gift registries.

Disney World and all Disney Parks are enormous and water bottles are absolutely necessary.

Sure you can buy one – but at $4 per bottle, it’s not cheap!

I make it a point to fill up whenever we pass a food joint or water spout.

Plus if you have pre-schoolers or toddlers then they ARE GOING TO WANT that Mickey Mouse bottle in the Disney Store.

It is much cheaper to buy them in advance and save a few bucks.

For toddlers, this Mickey Mouse sippy cup with silicone spout is just perfect while pre-schoolers will love the Disney straw cups .  

You can also gift these 32 oz Mickey, Minnie, and other Disney character water bottles for adults.

Checking the Disney App for ride times and wait times, taking photos with Disney characters all take their toll on smartphone batteries.

Gift a power bank to your Disney going children or grandchildren and keep them connected and happy!

I have this portable Powerbank by Anker and it works excellently for my smartphones, iPod and more. It makes a nice Disney park gift.

Hand held USB Fans

The weather is always hot and humid in Disney World. These mini USB rechargeable hand-held fans are life-savers.

They are lightweight, fold-able and have 3-speed settings and perfect as personal fans.

We attach them to strollers and the kids are happy as clams.

Misting Fans

Portable or handheld misting fans are great alternatives to USB fans.

The misting fans will spray water and help keep the kids cool and entertained on Disney trips.

You can even put ice in the water compartment of some fans so that the water is really cool.

You can actually buy Minnie Mouse or Mickey Mouse handheld misting fan with Florida written on it for the kids.

For a non-Disney version for the adults, get the deluxe misting fan which is big enough to keep ice or the super small but efficient keychain misting fan .

The foldable handheld cooling fan is also a great option.

Hand Sanitizer

Disney World is so big and so crowded that you don’t even want to start thinking about the germs in there.

Add to that, we are in 2021 and the pandemic is still here!

Gift some hand sanitizers for peace of mind plus get an award for thinking of the most hygienic of Disney vacation gifts!

Off course you don’t need Disney but these matching Minnie and Mickey hand sanitizers with holders are so cute and cheap plus attach to backpacks and purses.

Disney Face Masks

Speaking of the pandemic, Disney Parks require face masks for all visitors.

That doesn’t seem likely to change anytime soon, especially during the busy holiday season.

Get nice Disney themed face masks to set the mood!

Disney Suitcases

Just imagine how much fun packing for Disney World trip would be in a Mickey Mouse suitcase!

Well, they exist!

American Tourister has some great Disney themed suitcases that would make any Disney lover smile – bit of a Splurge but so worth it!

The luggage bags top my list of cool Disney gift ideas for kids.

Put your family or loved ones in a great mood before the trip by gifting the Disney themed suitcases .

If you are looking for toddler sized Disney luggage , there are amazing options including Mickey Mouse, Finding Dory, Elsa and more.

Check all options for Disney themed luggage here .

Disney Luggage Tags and baggage locks

Ever taken ages finding your luggage at baggage carousels?

Even if you have a Disney themed suitcase , there might be other similar ones if you are landing at Orlando and your luggage is going straight ahead to Disney World Resort.

Do everybody a favor and just give these Disney luggage tags as gifts for people going to Disney World.

They are great at keeping your suitcases safe till Disney World and are a time-saving Disney resorts gift.

Get a matching Disney luggage lock to go with your baggage and tags!

Disney Beach Towel and Swimsuits

Disney World theme parks have many water rides and chances to get wet while Disney World Resorts have great pools.

The Mickey Mouse and Gang Beach towel is perfect for Disney trips and to keep in your backpack or diaper bag.

You can also check other great Disney Beach towel designs.

On a related note, Amazon also has an incredible collection of Disney swimsuits for girls which will make great summer Disney vacation gift ideas.

Disney Games to play during traveling

If you don’t live in Florida or California then traveling to Disney means either a long road-trip or red-eye flights with stopovers.

Travel Games are perfect to keep kids occupied and the parents will thank you for years to come.

Of course, a Disney vacation needs Disney themed games.

We have this dry-erase sketchpad for the kids and they love to draw on it while traveling.

I also like the Disney stickers and activity books and magnetic game sets .

We also enjoy playing the Mickey Eye Found It card game while on road trips.

Sunscreen, Lip-balm and Band-Aids

All of these items are must on any Disney World packing list.

Why not gift them in Disney themed packages and add to the packing excitement?

This Disney Frozen sunscreen lotion will be loved by all little girls.

Disney Princesses Lip Balm 8 pack is a great gift with 8 different flavors and pictures of princesses.

These Disney Band-aids come in 24 different styles and include Frozen, Mickey Mouse, Planes, Princesses,  Finding Dory and more.

Mickey Mouse Crocs

A typical day at Disney World involves lots and lots of walking.

Comfortable, quality walking shoes are absolutely essential to survive Disney without blisters and band-aids.

While I love almost all crocs for walking, the many options in Mickey Mouse crocs make them absolutely perfect for a Disney World trip.

You can gift Mickey Crocs that light-up , Crocs that have Mickey design all over them or crocs with Mickey band , or Crocs with Minnie Mouse design.

They come in toddler, kids as well as adult unisex (men & women) sizes.

Fun Gifts for Kids going to Disney World

Finding the perfect gift for the most excited travelers is fun.

I love taking the time to shop and search for the most unique gift for my family.

All of the items below make perfect Disney World gift ideas.

Walt Disney World Autograph Book and Pens

The Walt Disney World Autograph Book is the perfect gift for young Disney visitors to collect autographs from their favorite characters – one of the best gifts from Disney world.

I was sure S-Boy would love handing it over to Mickey Mouse and his friends to sign, so we bought one – but it got stolen before we reached Disney… it’s a long story!

The autograph book is great for breakfast with the characters and makes an excellent trip souvenir.

Or you can buy the Disney Princess Autograph Book Plus Photo Album for little girls.

This book also has a photo sleeve to hold photographs with characters. You can also gift the Disney characters pen set to make it complete.

Disney World Vacation Gift Sets

Instead of buying individual gifts, why not buy sets that make great gifts by themselves?

This Mickey Mouse WDW travel gift set has an autograph book, mouse headbands, autograph pens, lanyards, and stickers. There’s also a matching Minnie mouse vacation gift set for girls.

There are quite a few such sets: try the Minnie backpack one or Mickey backpack one or the Mickey + Minnie backpacks + lanyard + autograph book one.

Children’s camera

What better time to gift your child his or her first camera?

We bought the V-Tech Toddler Camera for our preschooler and he loves using it.

He has already mastered the buttons and even frame options and loves taking pictures of his baby sister and everything else!

On our California trip, he was taking photos from the moment we reached the airport and especially loved taking pictures of Mickey Mouse and Donald Duck – it was the perfect Disneyland gift!

Instant Camera

Instant Camera makes a super fun gift for kids going to Disney World.

The recent versions of instant cameras take bright pictures and have loads of smart features.

I especially love the Fujifilm Instant Camera as Disney gifts for teens or younger kids since it comes in bright colors including blue, green and pink and also has a selfie mirror.

The Polaroid Instant Camera is also a great camera with 4 scene settings.

Kids can take instant photos with characters and get them autographed as keepsakes – it’s easily the best of Disneyland trip gift ideas.

Disney World Pressed Penny Album

Have you ever lost your pressed pennies during a trip?

The pressed pennies and quarters make great little Disney mementos but are really hard to keep track of, especially during an exciting day at Disney Parks.

This Disney themed pressed penny passport book keeps all the pressed pennies safe and is one of the best gifts to give someone going to Disney World.

Disney Trading Pins

Disney trading pins are stamped with the Disney Logo and are trade-able at all Disney World Parks with the Disney Cast Members.

Kids love trading the pins for the ones they want with cast members.

Buying the trading pins in advance saves a lot of money as the pins are very expensive at Disney World.

I really like this set of 25 trading pins that includes hidden Mickey and other unique pins.

Alternatively, a set of 50 trading pins will be enough as gifts for kids going to Disney World as well as big families.

These pins are the perfect gifts to get everyone in Disney mood pre-trip.

Also, did you know that you can actually give Disney characters gifts?

While the characters can’t accept anything big they can accept letters, trinkets, and small things like honey for Winnie the Poo from their little fans.

These trading pins also make the perfect gifts for your favorite Disney characters.

Lanyard with Coin Purse

These Mickey and Friends Lanyards with Coin Purses are great companion gifts to Disney trading pins.

The pins can be attached to the lanyards to easily trade with Disney Cast Members.

A great alternative to the Disney Backpack, they are also excellent additions to Disney themed travel gear and make excellent gifts for an upcoming Disney trip.

The coin purse can be used to store Disney Resort room keys, IDs, park tickets and passes, souvenir pressed pennies, trading pins, chap-stick, etc.

Princess Dresses and Disney Costumes

How adorable are the photos of Disney character princesses with a toddler or pre-teen princesses at the princess meet-ups?

Princess Dresses are the ultimate going to Disney gifts for little girls! If you know a little girl who loves Disney, she will adore a princess dress of her favorite character.

You can choose among Belle or   Elsa or Ariel and more among Disney’s favorite princesses .

You can also buy Disney costumes for boys including pirates, Mickey and friends – these are great gifts for child going to Disney world.

However, remember adults can’t wear costumes inside Disney!

This kid is going to Disney shirts

Buy the ‘this girl is going to Disney’ or ‘this boy is going to Disney’ shirts for your kids for a fun twist.

We saw a few kids wearing the shirts on the tram from Mickey and friends parking lot to the park and they got a lot of smiles.

These shirts also make the perfect gift for child going to Disney world on a surprise trip.

Books on Disney World and Disney Characters

Young readers will devour these books that tell them more about Disney World.

Wagons are super useful to carry children as well as snacks and other items but they are banned inside Disney Parks.

Masks or Adult Costumes

26 Best Disney Souvenirs That Won’t Break The Bank

February 5, 2020 //  by  Tasha Lyn Cosimo //   1 Comment

Pick- A-Pearl

Just because you are buying our souvenir at Disney World, does not mean it MUST have Disney characters or logos on it. In fact, some of the best Disney souvenirs are simply unique souvenirs that will remind you of where and when you purchased it, and probably most importantly, who you were with when you got it.  You can find many unique Disney souvenirs in Epcot’s World Showcase ! 

While you wanter through the Japan Pavilion, stop by Pick-A-Pearl to score the perfect Disney souvenir that won’t break the bank and comes with a true experience.  Pick-A-Pearl leaves you with a beautiful Disney, but not so Disney, souvenir!

You can find the Pick-A-Pearl in the Mitsukoshi Department Store in the Japan Pavilion in the Epcot World Showcase. This Disney souvenir comes with a true experience. You will pay to pick your pearl at the register and take your receipt over to the pearl station to receive your number. Feel free to watch others pick their pearls while you wait, or wander around the department store and check out all the cool Japanese gifts, toys, and snacks.

Once your number is called, you will have the ability to pick an oyster from one of the two tanks and once you make your pick, the Cast Member will perform a special ceremony with you, and you will finally get to see your pearl. After you select your pearl, you will decide what to do with it – take it home as is or have it placed into a jewelry setting. 

Insider Tip – You can also pick a pearl at the Pearl Factory in Disney Springs . Pearl Factory is a kiosk located in the Marketplace at Disney Springs and a great alternative stop if you want to avoid shopping while inside the parks.

Pressed Pennies, Or Quarters

One of the most popular affordable Disney World souvenirs are pressed pennies, and now quarters, which are quick, cheap, fun to collect, and also come with a mini experience. One of the best insider tips for doing Disney on a budget is to take advantage of the cheap souvenirs and a .51 cent souvenir is exactly the type of affordable souvenir I am talking about. There are entire blogs dedicated to pressed pennies, so if this is right your alley, the Internet is a treasure trove of tricks, tips, and secrets, but let me lay out the basics!

Disney World is packed with pressed penny, and now some pressed quarter, machines. You can find these machines inside parks, on the Boardwalk, around Disney Springs, and Disney hotels. The pressed penny will run you .51 cents, .1 cent is the penny you will end up with and .50 cents is the cost of doing business.

As for pressed quarters, these will run you $1.25 with the .25 quarter being your souvenir and $1.00 being the cost of the press. You can locate all of Disney World’s pressed coin machines on the Disney website and Disney App – so be sure to have your phone ready for your trip !  

Not only are pressed coins an affordable souvenir, they are super easy to carry around. You can find a pressed penny book online or you can take an even smaller storage option while you collect and put the coins into a recycled tube or small coin purse! With each park having over 100 pressed coin options, plus the machines all over Disney World, pressed coins are a Disney souvenir that you can collect every time you go back and this souvenir only requires your extra change!

Disney Tote Bag

Disney Monopoly Set

Want to transport the excitement of Disney games back home after your trip? Pick up a Disney Monopoly! Disney has paired with Monopoly to offer some of the best Monopoly options. Love Disney parks as much as I do? Monopoly’s Disney Theme Parks Edition is the perfect pick. What about Disney animation? Perfect Disney souvenir – Disney Animation Monopoly has arrived – this is also currently the cheapest of the sets costing $29.95. 

Disney Monopoly also comes in movie-specific sets and the options are constantly growing. Disney Monopoly is an ideal Disney souvenir who wants to play with their souvenir once their vacation comes to an end, but is a bit too told to play with a stuffed animal or play set.  But remember, it is just a game so don’t take it too seriously!

Disney Caricature Drawing

One of the most classic Disney World souvenirs, the Disney Caricature drawing, is a great souvenir that comes with a built in break and rest time! There are actually quite a few places around Disney World to get your caricature done, currently spread throughout the parks, Disney Springs, and even hotels. What makes these different from the caricatures at a local fair or market? They are Disney-fied! A Disney Caricature artist will turn you into your favorite Disney character, making this is a very personalized Disney souvenir.

While the artists change frequently, as Disney has a whole crew of caricaturists, the price remains the same. Disney Cariacture prices are per PERSON – here is the rundown of the current prices: $15 for face only in black and white, $20 for face only in color, $20 for face and body in black and white, and $30 for face and body in color. 

Don’t worry if a little one, or even an easily distracted adult, cannot sit for the whole process, you just need to sit still while the artist draws the pencil sketch. After that, movement is okay as the artist goes back over the pencil sketch and then adds all of the fun. Disney Cariactures are a Disney souvenir that you will be grateful for years down the road and it comes with a built in break getting you off your feet and forcing you to take a few minutes to stop, people watch, and relax!

If you want something a bit more simple, or maybe even old fashioned, have a siloutte drawn instead. Taking as little as 60 seconds, the silhouette a super fast alternative for a Disney souvenir while still sending you home with custom art to look back on over time. Check the My Disney Experience App for artist locations!

Can you ever have too many hats? The answer is nope! A Disney hat is a great affordable Disney souvenir for all Disney fans and Disney has plenty of options so you are sure to find one you love. From the floppy hats and caps at Chapel Hats Shop in Disney Springs to the Disney character hats sprinkled through the parks, there is a hat for everyone. In true Disney fashion, you can always score a hat with ears, and not just mouse ears , or opt for a more traditional baseball cap .

Disney hats for adults start as low as $12.99 and kids hats start as low as $9.00, but the large majority will cost you between $20 and $30 USD. Given the amount of sun we have in Florida, a hat is also a great souvenir that you can use throughout your entire trip to protect your eyes, face, and scalp from the powerful sun!

Disney Keychain

Disney keychains are a top pick for a small, and useful, Disney souvenirs that won’t break the bank. Disney keychains come in what feels like millions of options with the majority of Disney stores carrying display stands full so you should have no problem finding the perfect one. Disney World offers a yearly keychain, so you can sport the year of your last trip, and endless character, ride, and land-themed keychains . 

For small items, such as keychains, Disney World often uses a color system. The color on the tag for the item (mint, purple, red, teal, etc.) matches to a displayed price point. Once you find your favorite keychains be sure to compare the prices to avoid a surprise. Most Disney keychains will run you less than $14.00 so they make a very affordable Disney souvenir.

My top Disney keychains are the ones that show off which Disney location and/or Disney park you have been to and they make a great Disney souvenir collectable as you can pick one up at every Disney park all over the world! 

Disney Magnet

Disney magnets, similar to the Disney key chains, are a great way to pick up a small, affordable, easy to carry, and easy to collect souvenir. Some of the coolest Disney magnets are the photo frame magnets, allowing you to put a small picture from your trip inside. You can use a PhotoPass photo or a cell phone picture to fill the frame once you return from your magical vacation. 

Disney has a magnet for every person, and for every special event. Be sure to check out the limited time magnets during your trip, which usually cater to the year of your travels and special events and holidays. Of course, if you just want to stick with the classics, you can always find a character, or attraction, land-themed magnet .

Be sure to check out the attraction gift shops for limited edition attraction-themed magnets. Given how small the magnets are, and the low cost, these are another great Disney souvenir to collect. 

Epcot Passport

Disney Starbucks Reusable Tumbler

Disney Kitchenware

Disney Plush Toys

Disney plush toys are a top pick souvenir when shopping at Disney World for kids or anyone who loves a soft keepsake. It will not surprise you that there are hundreds of plush toys all around Disney World.  Given the wide variety, they also vary in sizes, prices, and even how “limited” they are.

While you may think you cannot use this during your trip, it is Disney World so there is nothing stopping you from bringing this friend along with the group for rides and photos. But, even if you want to leave this Disney souvenir back in the hotel room, or purchase towards the end of your trip, it is always fun to get back home and see your Disney plush sitting on the bed, shelf, or couch, ready for snuggling anytime. 

Be sure to check out World of Disney for a massive stock of Disney plush toys!

Disney mugs are not only one of my top Disney World souvenirs, but also a top Disney World gift. Who doesn’t love a great mug?! Disney World has more mugs than one person could possibly collect, although I am sure many do try, so picking the perfect mug may take a bit of window shopping and narrowing down. You can find mugs for most of Disney World’s attractions, themed-lands, parks, movies, characters, and more.

I love a great mug souvenir, especially from Disney World, because it’s a Disney souvenir that I can use all the time. It serves a purpose, it’s easier to store, and it has to put a small smile on your face to remember the amazing vacation you had while you sip on a cup of coffee or tea.

Be sure to check out the mugs sold all around Disney Springs at the not-to-miss shops and stop by Arribas to get your mug engraved for an extra special touch.

Disney cups come in SO many options that Disney cup is another excellent, and budget friendly, souvenir. Disney’s cup game is as strong as Disney’s mug game. The options can be overwhelming, but the variety means they have a perfect cup for every person you could possibly need or want to buy a cup for. Giant disco Mickey head ? Yup! Glowing rose tumbler? Yup!

Disney cups are another great Disney souvenir that you can use during your trip, just picture sitting by the pool with a giant Frozen cup, and when you get back home and the post-Disney vacation feeling sets in. They are also a great choice for kids as many come in plastic and have lids – win/win!

Disney Princess Doll

If you are shopping around Disney with a Princess, and so many of us do, a Disney princess doll is an ideal Disney souvenir. While enjoying the Disney parks you will see a lot of young guests carrying around these Disney princess dolls with them throughout the parks, so if you have a huge Princess fanatic, prepare and pick up a doll in advance. 

Magic Kingdom, especially the shops in Fantasyland, have quite a few great shops carrying princess dolls. You can also find the Princess dolls at World of Disney and other large souvenir shops.  One of the best toy shops at Disney World is Once Upon a Toy so be sure to check this one out when you are in Disney Springs. 

Disney Shirt

If you ever went to Disney World in the 1970’s through early 2000’s, you probably have a Disney shirt. While these likely thrift shop gems may be what you think of when you think Disney shirts, Disney World upped their shopping game and really expanded the offerings. A timeless, yet modern, Disney souvenir fan favorite is the Disney shirt.

I couldn’t begin to list where to get Disney shirts or the types available, because there are probably thousands. Just remember if you see a special shirt, be sure to pick it up because you may not see it again if it’s a more limited shirt. Disney shirts are a great souvenir because like many great souvenirs, you can use it all the time once you get home. 

For a more unique Disney shirt be sure to shop around the Marketplace Co-Op and DisneyStyle in Disney Springs! If you love the classics, Disney World always has a commemorative yearly shirt as part of the Disney Parks Dated 2020 Collection (or the new collection updated each year).

Disney pins and pin trading is one of the most popular Disney World collections and activities. If you Google pin trading, you could spend years researching and perfecting pin trading, but if you want a super quick and unbelievably helpful introduction to pin trading with the best tips check out my 8 Insanely Useful Disney Pin Trading Tips !

Disney pins are one of the best souvenirs for so many reasons. Small, affordable, tradable, and endless options, what more could you need. To get started with Disney pins check out Disney’s starter packs. If you want to show off your pins while visit Walt Disney World, pick up a lanyard and get going. 

While shopping at Disney World you will find pins in almost every single store, on every cast member, and on every kiosk. For a quick overview of a lot of pins Disney World has to offer during your visit, check out Disney Pin Traders at Disney Springs!

Disney Snacks and Candy

One of the most overlooked Disney souvenirs are the Disney snacks and candy. While these won’t last forever, that means less clutter and its a souvenir you get to eat. I see both of those factors as perks! If you want to make your Disney snacks and candy your souvenir, be sure to hold off on eating it until you arrive back home. A great way to extend your Disney vacation is to snack on Disney goodies in the days, or weeks, after your arrive home.

My top picks for Disney snacks and candy include the Candy Cauldron in Disney Springs, Goofy’s Candy Co. in Disney Springs, and the candy in, and from, the 11 countries in the Epcot World Showcase!

You can find unique Disney snacks at most gift shops and stores. My tips? The Disney candy, and caramel, apples are amazing and are perfect for an Instagram photo.  Just be careful if your buy chocolate, Florida can get very hot and humid so if you purchase chocolate take into account timing, storage, and weather. 

Disney Autograph Book

Disney Backpack

When shopping around Disney World for the perfect Disney souvenir, be sure to check out the backpacks, even if you are not a student. Disney carries a wide variety of adorable backpacks for both kids and adults. From pull string backpacks to higher end DisneyParks backpacks , Disney has you covered. Some even have sequins and ears !

This is another great souvenir that can be used all of the time even after your vacation has come to an end. Since Disney has really expanded the higher quality backpacks, there are plenty of options you can use in “the real world,” but you can also use this Disney souvenir during your vacation and accessorize your Disney outfit. Most importantly, you can use your Disney souvenir backpack to carry around the 15 things you do not want to forget when visiting Disney World !

Disney Necklace

A small and beautiful Disney souvenir option is a Disney necklace. If you couldn’t guess, Disney Parks have their own jewelry. A Disney necklace is a great souvenir to take home and wear to put a little magic in each day! Disney necklaces, and jewelry, allow you to take home a souvenir and dress up any outfit showing just a touch of your love for Disney and the memories you made on vacation.

While you can pick up plenty of Disney accessories, including Disney necklaces, at the gift shops and larger Disney stores, like World of Disney, for jewelry, be sure to shop by the speciality shops! The Disney specialty shops carrying jewelry are all over Disney World, be sure to check out Pandora , La Tienda Encantada , Na Hoku , La Gemma Elegante, and House of Good Fortune!

Disney Leggings

Who doesn’t love leggings?! Given how extraordinary leggings are, once you add Disney, leggings become an incredible Disney souvenir. You will absolutely see Disney guests rocking their Disney leggings all around Disney World, so feel free to wear your Disney souvenir leggings during your trip. Once you get home, no need to stop with the Disney leggings since they are adorable enough to wear any time. 

A great place to check out Disney leggings are DisneyStyle and the Marketplace Co-Op , two of the best shops at Disney Springs. Even looking at these Disney leggings makes me feel comfy! 

Mickey, and Minnie, Ear Headband

EARS! Everyone wears them, Disney has hundreds of options, and they simply make the most perfect Disney souvenir. From sequins, to bows, to ride themes, and veils, Disney has the ear game covered. You can rock this souvenir from the moment you start your Disney vacation until the moment you get home and they make every outfit look instantly Disney!

If you see ears that you like, be sure to get them then and there. Not all ears are equal and not all shops, or even parks, carry the same ears! There is no need to limit yourself to rocking these ears at Disney, they make a great post-vacation accessory for fun events or decor so you can remember your trip as Disney World feeling fades away.

Check out the Disney ear headbands currently on ShopDisney , but keep your eyes open for more variety during your trip!

Disney Wallet

Another great, and useful, Disney souvenir is a Disney wallet! Everyone needs a wallet, so why not make it Disney AND let it be a memento from your vacation. DisneyParks has their own collection, similar to the backpack collection, and there are so many design and size options. 

If a Disney wallet sounds like the ideal Disney souvenir, be sure to check out the Dooney & Bourke options and the wristlet options too! One of the best parts about the DisneyParks collection is that you can get a wallet, or backpack, or purse, based on your favorite Disney attraction and you are not limited to Disney movies/characters!

There are a couple of things you want to consider when you’re giving a travel gift. Do they need the gift before the trip? Can you surprise the family and give the gift when they’re on the vacation? Or is it a gift that can be given at any time?

Once you take all of those things into consideration, you can shop for a fun gift and decide how you want to give the gift. I’ve got gift ideas for all budgets and the gifts range from small to even digital!

If you need some ideas on when to give a gift for a Disney World traveler, here are some ideas:

• Christmas Gifts + Stocking Stuffers
• Birthday Gift
• Mother’s or Father’s Day
• Mickey’s Birthday (November 18)
• Spring Break
• On the road trip to WDW
• Upon arrival at WDW resort hotel `

Make Your Gifts For Disney World More Magical

The gift itself is magical, but you can add even more special touches to ensure it’s a super special gift. You can use some Disney wrapping paper – like this cute Minnie Mouse Ears Wrapping Paper .

If it’s Christmastime, use my FREE Printable Christmas Disney Gift Tags and print from the PDF download. Lastly, check out Disney gift sacks that make everything easier and fit any awkward-shaped item.

Simon Veness

Simon Veness (1960-) started out as an archaeologist (at Cardiff University 1978-81) but quickly realised he was never going to be Britain's answer to Indiana Jones (or even Norah Jones) so switched to a journalistic career, first with the University newspaper and then for the Kentish Times newspaper group.

Working as a sportswriter and sub-editor for News International in London, he developed a travel-writing 'hobby ' that quickly became a full-time passion, leading to the birth of the award-winning Brit Guide to Orlando and Walt Disney World in 1995, which has gone on to become the UK's best-selling travel guide of any kind.

After quitting the UK for the USA in 2004, he hooked up with wife-to-be Susan and they created a prolific travel-writing business, Veness Travel Media, with more feature-packed updates of the Brit Guide to Orlando and the Brit Guide to Disneyland Paris, a book on Internet travel and then Susan's magnum opus in 2009, the Hidden Magic of Walt Disney World. The latter then gave rise to another new guidebook project, the Hidden Magic Planner, which, as they say, "is a whole new species of guidebook."

Together, they now contribute to a wide range of media, including online, in newspapers and magazines, and the usual array of social media. Their work can be seen in the USA and UK, while they can often be found in and around the many attractions of Orlando, as they now live in The City Beautiful.

Simon has also been the Orlando City writer for Major League Soccer since the Lions joined MLS in 2015, and he and Susan have written their first biography, Defying Expectations: Phil Rawlins & the Orlando City Soccer Story (pub. by University of Nebraska Press Fall 2017) based on this Florida sporting phenomenon.

Customer reviews

Customer Reviews, including Product Star Ratings help customers to learn more about the product and decide whether it is the right product for them.

To calculate the overall star rating and percentage breakdown by star, we don’t use a simple average. Instead, our system considers things like how recent a review is and if the reviewer bought the item on Amazon. It also analyzed reviews to verify trustworthiness.

Ultimate Disney World Packing List Tips: What to Bring & Unique Ideas

This guide covers what to pack for Walt Disney World, with a checkable packing list of essentials, smart stuff to bring in your backpack for park days, and 50+ unique products and clever gadgets that’ll improve your trip, helping keep you powered, stay cool & comfortable in Florida’s weather. ( Updated March 23, 2024 .)

The first part of this Disney packing list highlights the less-obvious items– things you never knew you needed . These are interesting and sometimes odd things we’ve learned about over the years, some of which have dramatically improved our experiences when traveling. We pack some of these when visiting Walt Disney World, Disneyland, Tokyo, Paris, and beyond. Consider including some of them in your luggage.

The second half is our comprehensive Disney packing list that you can download and save. This encompasses things you almost certainly already own–but might forget without this downloadable packing list for Walt Disney World. We use this checklist to make sure we’ve remembered all the basics. As for unique items, we update this list regularly with new ideas, plus essentials based upon feedback and suggestions from readers. We love discovering innovative things that improve travel, so please share your finds and recommendations in the comments!

March 23, 2024 Update:  While we haven’t added anything new to the list with this update, several of the new-for-2024 additions (and more) are deeply-discounted as part of Amazon’s Big Spring Sale . In particular, here are the following categories with substantial savings:

• Anker Chargers & Power Banks
• Packing Cubes & Compression Bags
• Personal Fans
• Disney Loungefly Bags
• TravelPro Luggage

There’s also a lot of Disney stuff on sale that is not related to travel. See our full List of the Best 2024 Big Spring Sale Deals for Disney Fans for a complete roundup of the toys, books, games, and travel accessories.

If you’re going to order this stuff for your trip and don’t want to hassle with bringing it with you, it’s possible to place an order with Amazon.com prior to our trip and have the items shipped to your Walt Disney World resort. In Address Line 2, specify your arrival date. Resorts now charge a $6 package handling fee will apply to all packages that are received by the hotel. This fee does not apply to grocery delivery.

Anyway, the idea behind this list is not that you buy and pack everything here. These are just ideas, not a list of comprehensive necessities for Walt Disney World. If you packed all of this, you’d be taking way too much. We are firm believers in not overpacking. It’s important to comb through this list, determine what might help improve YOUR vacation, and take that. Not everything here is for everyone–they’re just ideas.

Note that we receive a small commission from Amazon for your purchases, so buying through these links helps support the site. However, neither the price you pay nor our recommendations are impacted by that. We only recommend products that we’ve bought and used ourselves, or that come highly recommended from friends or readers (if the particular products aren’t applicable to us).

With all of that said, let’s get to the unique item Disney packing list, and then the packing checklist. We’ll start with the items our readers love the most–smart items that’ll save you time, money, stress, or (literally) physical discomfort and pain!

Smart Stuff to Pack

Anker Nano Portable Charger – I just started using this in 2024, and it’s already my new favorite charger. The big selling point is the built-in Lightning connector for iPhones, meaning that you don’t need to carry additional cords. That alone is a game-changer for me, as I can hold the phone in my hand while the charger is attached and simply use it like normal. The only downside is slightly slower charging than the other batteries below, but everything is about tradeoffs, and that’s one I will  happily  make. 

Compact Portable Charger   – Poor phone reception in the parks and the need to check wait times, planning apps, use Genie+ to book Lightning Lanes, or share photos via social media can be a drain on your battery. This device has dual ports capable of fast-charging, making it perfect for the two of us. Here are other options we have and like:

• Anker “Lipstick Sized” Battery – This is commonly known as a “lipstick charger” due to its shape and size and is approximately 2 full phone charges. This is pocket-sized.
• Anker Ultra-Compact Battery – Double the capacity of the first battery, giving you around 4 full phone charges. It’s a bit bulkier, but still easy to throw in a lightweight backpack. This one also works well for the two of us.
• Anker High Capacity Battery – With a whopping 8 full charges, this will get an entire family (or one teenager) through a day at WDW. In our opinion, you’re better off buying 2 of the middle battery, but to each their own.

Anker 3-Port Charging Block – This is a niche product, but it’s another game-changer for me. For a while, we had stopped bringing power strips and adapters to Walt Disney World, instead using the new wall charging ports in hotel rooms at Walt Disney World. The only problem is that those are slow as molasses in January, as my grandma would say.

This Anker 3-port block charges my Nikon mirrorless camera, laptop, and phone simultaneously and  the device is smaller than my Macbook charger by itself. It’ll be overkill for a lot of people, but it’s absolutely perfect for me!

Anker Outlet Extender   – If you don’t need something that advanced (really only necessary for high-end cameras or laptops), this is a much less expensive alternative that also gives you added outlets. I don’t think extra outlets are necessary for Walt Disney World hotels, but you’ll presumably use this elsewhere. We like it for older hotels where outlets are more scarce.

Anker 4-Port USB Phone Charger – Same idea, but all USB. We used to use this before getting the 3-port block.

Autograph Book Substitute – Instead of having characters sign a blank page, have them sign this actual book about 150+ Disney characters. After the trip, it’ll be a treasured keepsake for your kids. We’ve heard tons of feedback on Facebook from people who have tried–and loved–this! ( Do NOT buy the Disney Pixar Character Encyclopedia New Edition. That’s an “update” to the best autograph book substitute, but it’s no longer suitable for autograph purposes. You’ve been warned! ) 

Lightweight & Water Resistant Travel Backpack — You probably already own a backpack, so hear us out on this. The material is super-thin, meaning it’ll easily pack into your luggage. The bigger selling point is the light and breathable material, which is critical in the Florida heat. It’s designed to stay cool while hiking and other strenuous activities…and visiting Walt Disney World definitely qualifies!

Repel Travel Umbrella – This travel umbrella is compact, windproof, and has a lifetime guarantee. We have ruined so a few umbrellas that have been caught by gusts of wind at Walt Disney World, so this actually is important.

Frogg Toggs Chilly Sport   – Same idea, but different dimensions that makes this even more suitable for wearing around your neck. A good alternative if you want to save a little money on your Frogg Toggs purchase.

Sukeen Cooling Towel 4-Pack   – Some people don’t like the Frogg Toggs texture, which might make this breathable mesh material more attractive. The cooling system uses moisture from the towel to draw the sweat away from your skin to keep you cool. We do not find these Sukeen towels as effective as the Frogg Toggs and don’t actually recommend them as a result, but some Walt Disney World fans prefer them. YMMV.

Crocs LiteRide 360 Pacer Sneaker  – Want to recreate the stylistic sensibilities of a mid-tier Disney blogger? Well that ‘fit can be yours with these shoes! Joking aside,  I cannot recommend these highly enough. ( Here’s the women’s version of the shoe .)  In case you missed it, they were the centerpiece of our list of the  Best Shoes for Walt Disney World .

5-Pack of “Pro” Ponchos – While these are technically disposable, they’re a thicker and higher quality material than the ponchos above. They’re easy to reuse–just hang them up to dry in your hotel room! Unless you really want to throw away your ponchos after each use, this is the superior option. For something with even more personality and durability, Sarah loves this reusable “Minnie Mouse-Inspired” Polka Dot Poncho .

10-Pack of Disposable Ponchos – These will save you a ton of money. Ponchos in the parks cost $10 each, and over the course of a vacation, that can really add up. We recommend taking a 10-pack of ponchos (or more) for your group. They’re small and easy to throw in a backpack.

Body Glide – Since making the original list, many others have recommended this product to us as the best way to combat chaffing. Unless you normally walk 10+ miles per day at home over the course of several consecutive days, this is a very real problem that many people will unexpectedly experience. Better to be safe than sorry!

Parade Mat – This durable blanket is a great alternative to sitting on the ground while you wait for parades at Disney, but it works in a number of scenarios in the parks. This has weighted corners, is pocket-size, and puncture-resistant. It’s also water-resistant, so you can use it as a poncho in a pinch. It’s really versatile!

Life Straw Go Filter Water Bottle – Florida water tastes awful straight from the tap, so it’s key to get a bottle with a filter. This bottle is the best option, hands down. It’s durable, BPA-free, dishwasher safe, and uses a 2-stage activated carbon filter reduces odor, chlorine and leaves zero aftertaste!

Brita Filter Water Bottles – If you don’t want to spend as much money, this is the second-best option. It’s inexpensive and durable. Not quite as effective or durable as the above option, but still good. Either way, we highly recommend bringing a water bottle. It’s increasingly difficult to enter counter service restaurants (or find open snack stands) to get cups of water.

Collapsible Water Bottles   – These don’t have filters–essential for us given the taste of Florida’s water–but if you’re more concerned with saving space and convenience, they’re a great alternative. Maybe you  like  the taste of swamp water!

Apple AirTags   – We now use AirTags to track our car (good for rental cars that can get lost in the sea of the TTC), checked baggage (good for peace of mind), and much more that isn’t relevant to travel.

The best use of all that we have not tried is tracking strollers. In a recent article about Walt Disney World’s new strollers, several readers complained that Cast Members relocate parked strollers, making them difficult to find. AirTags should offer a great solution to this problem! There are tons of great non-Disney uses for AirTags, or their non-Apple counterpart, Tile Pro Tracker .

Stroller Fan – Technically, this is a clip-on desk fan. If you read the reviews, almost everyone buying it is using it for strollers. It’s great to keep your kids cool, and it’ll last 5-10 hours before the battery needs to be recharged–which can be done via USB with one of the external chargers above. This is perfect for the hottest hours of the day at Walt Disney World!

Glow in the Dark “Stuff” – Okay, this might seem silly or pointless (my initial thought), but these glow-sticks are very useful. They make it easy to find your family (or stroller!) in the crowds at night. Kids love creating cool things to wear out of them–very fun stuff!

Packing Cubes – These are perfect for organizing, and make it easier to to manage your luggage. I love this 4-piece set as they’re the perfect size for organizing a carry-on size suitcase.

Compression Cubes – There are two great options here–I’ve moved on to these compression cubes, as I find they save more space in my luggage, which is huge for me. Below is the cheaper alternative, if you’re simply looking to stay organized.

Rechargeable Hand Warmers 2-Pack – One of us uses handwarmers a lot when traveling anywhere that’s even mildly cold. The upside to this is it’s a reusable device that doesn’t use who-knows-what chemicals to magically work. The downside is it takes up more space. Maybe the fact that they look like mean owls will be what tips the scales towards buying.

Bladeless Personal Neck Fan — Dorky, but shockingly effective. It’s like a nice little breeze that’ll cool you down a bit. Sarah prefers it to the Frogg Toggs due to this being dry, which is better for her long hair. For me, it’s more of a toss-up. While this fan is quiet and effective, it’s also a tad annoying and, again, dorky.

Foldable Handheld Fan   – I prefer this fan. Sure, you have to hold it, but it’s less dorky and offers top-notch performance.

Darn Tough Socks   – A running theme of this list is “things to make the Florida heat and humidity slightly less miserable.” Well, these socks fit the bill on that front. As a warning, they are expensive, but they’re made in the USA, have a lifetime warranty, and are incredibly high quality. Most importantly, they’re soft and comfortable, as well as sweat-wicking and odor-resisting.

On a similar note, we also highly recommend quick drying underwear to avoid the dreaded  swamp bottom.  I’ve purchased this pair and am a fan , but the best-value option for both men and women that we’ve found is UNIQLO Airism . That’s our go-to brand.

WetBrush Pro Detangle – This hair brush performs well with wet hair, and your hair will get wet if you’re visiting Walt Disney World. A staple of Sarah’s Disney bag.

Honest Co. Hand Sanitizer Spray – Walt Disney World has removed its in-park hand sanitizer stations, but even if they hadn’t, we’d recommend this instead. It’s higher quality and won’t leave your hands feeling dry after a few days. 

Sanitizer Wipes – Same idea here with these alcohol-free sanitizer wipes. Walt Disney World is magical, but not magically clean. Every surface has been touched by countless other hands. These are great to clean your hands, phone, stroller, or literally any surface–an essential item to reduce your chances of getting sick on vacation!

Sun Bum Oil-Free Face Stick Sunscreen – My face sunburns really easily and I’ve tried numerous sunscreens to combat this over the years to no avail. While a bit pricey, this works fantastically. As an added bonus, it smells delicious!

EltaMD Face Sunscreen — Sarah favors this fancier brand of face sunscreen, which is recommended by dermatologists and distinguished scientists from all over the world. (Probably.)

Sun Bum Cool Down Aloe Vera Gel – No matter how diligent I am about applying sunscreen, I invariably end up getting a little (or a lot) too much sun. This offers relief and recovery. Hopefully you won’t need to use it, but the Florida sun can really sneak up on you!

Post-It Notes   – On a related note, if you have kids who are afraid of loud toilets (per several commenters, this is a thing), pack some post-it notes to cover the automatic sensor that can otherwise cause “premature” flushing.

Memory Foam Neck Pillow Airplane Travel Kit — This kit also includes a velour cover, sleep mask, and earplugs. Sarah uses the pillow, sleep mask, and above headphones for flights. She looks real cool.

Discounted Disney Pins – This one isn’t so much a practical thing to pack as a money-saving one. If you’ve read our Disney Pin Trading Tips post, you know that pin trading is a fun, albeit expensive thing to do in the parks. However, by buying pins before your trip online, you can pay ~$1 per pin instead of $8-10. Highly recommended!

Wireless Sleep Mask Headphones — Sarah has used “last gen” variations of this product for years, swearing by both sleep masks for travel and ‘cozy’ headphones for getting rest on flights.

Reusable Straws – A new addition to the list, as both WDW and Disneyland have eliminated plastic straws (and in-park Starbucks use terrible paper straws that disintegrate after about 10 minutes). A good item to throw in your backpack.

Pop-up Hamper – With how much money you pay for a hotel room, you probably don’t want it to look like the perfect habitat for Oscar the Grouch halfway through your trip. We’ve found the biggest issue always (ALWAYS!) is with dirty laundry, and a good way to keep this under control is by bringing a pop-up hamper.

Travel Sunscreen Packets – For your arms, legs, neck, etc., we recommend these sunscreen packets. If you’ve ever had a tube of sunscreen spill in your luggage or backpack (we have…many times), you know how inconvenient it can be. These individual travel packets take care of that problem, and are also much easier to put in your pocket or in a bag. They’re a perfect solution!

SPF Sun Hat – Sarah has several different colors of this cheap and fashionable sun hat, and wears them in the parks to keep the sun off of her face, and to stay cool. They are breathable and lightweight. The only downside is their large size, which makes them difficult to pack (we recommend carrying them on).

Crocs LiteRide Sandal or OluKai Ohana Sandal – Sarah several types sandals (the Crocs listed first are her most recent addition) that p erfectly combine comfort and cuteness, and provide enough comfort so your feet won’t hurt after logging miles in the parks.

Aqua Socks for Water Parks & Pools – If you’re planning on visiting Typhoon Lagoon, Blizzard Beach, or spending time at your hotel’s pool, these are essential. The pavement gets hot–so hot it’s uncomfortable to walk on it without these.

Finally, check out Sarah’s What to Wear to Disney page dedicated to where she shops and ideas for finding cute outfits that are also practical for those humid days in the parks. She also has Tips for Accessorizing for Disney , to give your normal outfits cute ‘dashes of Disney.’

Food & Drinks for Disney

Although not packing per se, we’d strongly recommend making a grocery run upon arrival or having food delivered to your hotel at Walt Disney World. At a minimum, get breakfast items so you’re not wasting precious time in the morning. Read our Guide to Grocery Delivery at Walt Disney World for our tips on that, and why breakfast is (mostly) a waste of money at Walt Disney World restaurants.

If you opt against grocery delivery for whatever reason–or want to supplement it with items from Amazon–here’s what we recommending order to fuel you during a day in the parks…

Mount Hagen Organic Instant Coffee – We each “need” 3-4 servings of caffeine per day to function. Buying coffee in the parks would add up quickly and cost us a lot of time. Cutting coffee from our travel budget saves us a ton of money, and is worth it even if we look like cheapskates making coffee in the parks.

Caffeine Mints – Each one of these mints has about as much caffeine as coffee or an energy drink, so they will give you the energy to get through evening Extra Magic Hours, but won’t give you coffee breath or make you have to run to the restroom while in line for Toy Story Mania. Win-win!

Lenny & Larry’s Complete Protein Cookie – Want something even healthy? These cookies have a ton of protein and fiber, but have no high fructose corn syrup, no sugar alcohols, no artificial sweeteners. Plus, they’re vegan.

Chomps Beef Sticks – These are now our go-to beef jerky for the parks–they’re also available at Trader Joe’s and a variety of other grocery stores. (We like every flavor except the cranberry one.)

If you are considering a purchase of any of these items or any other supplies for your vacation, we would greatly appreciate it if you use the links to Amazon in this post to make your purchase. It benefits the site, doesn’t cost you anything, and help us to keep providing you with useful content.

Alright, as promised, here’s our Disney packing checklist…

This Walt Disney World packing checklist includes a bunch of the above unique items that we recommend to improve your Disney trip, plus more common things that you won’t want to forget, too. Once again, you should NOT pack everything on this list for Walt Disney World. It simply covers all of the important stuff that you might need. No one is going to need  all  of this stuff.

With this list, we tried to skip things that are unnecessary (like shampoo, conditioner, a first aid kit, etc.) because you can find them in your hotel room or in the parks, or because they aren’t realistically necessary for most people. There’s the temptation to over-pack (especially with all the clever ideas on this list), and that should be resisted. There’s no need for 3 suitcases per person on a weeklong trip to Walt Disney World! 😉

Finally, this Walt Disney World packing guide was not tailored towards any specific season. If you’re visiting between April and late October, consult our Summer Packing Tips for Disney post for suggestions on beating the heat and handling humidity. This summer has been brutal pretty much everywhere, including Central Florida. There are a couple of items on this list that’ll help you keep cool, but we’d also recommend dressing practically. Looking stylish for photos can be fun…but not at the expense of comfort.

Temperatures aren’t the only thing heating up, as the heart of hurricane season starts this month. Storm season brings heat, humidity, and spontaneous downpours. The triple weather whammy! On rare occasion, the parks can also close due to hurricanes–that has happened on a few occasions in the last several years. So be prepared for that if you’re visiting this summer or early fall. See our Guide to Storm Season at Walt Disney World for an updated forecast for the Atlantic hurricane season, historical info about past storms that caused closures, and more.

Those heading to the parks between November and February, supplement this with our Winter Packing Tips for Disney post instead. True winter weather is exceedingly rare in Central Florida, but due to the humidity and big swings in daytime highs versus nighttime lows, it can feel cold during a few months of the year. Orlando weather can be like a roller coaster, and unlike the Walt Disney World variety, it’s not always fun. Basically, there are about 3 weeks per year when Central Florida weather is predictably temperate and mild!

What unique items do you recommend packing for a Disney trip? What clever items do you pack to improve your experience? Any ‘smart’ items you’d add to this list? Any questions we can help you answer? Hearing your feedback–even when you disagree with us–is both interesting to us and helpful to other readers, so please share your thoughts below in the comments!

Written by Tom Bricker

Please don’t recommend buying pin lots on Amazon and EBay. Those are 100% fake pins and frankly are garbage. This is unprofessional and really could hurt your credibility. You may want to consider suggesting to buy official pins from Amazon shops such as Loungefly where it isn’t as expensive as in park but still real pins.

You’ve taken Disney blogging to a heightened level of excellence! Thank you!

Regarding the H20+ Mint Foot Rub: I found a similar product on the Burt’s Bees site last year called Peppermint Foot Lotion. Hope this helps.

A few resort gift shops and even shopdisney had this product just before H20+ went out of business.

thanks for the new list, Tom I was all over the 10 Disposable Ponchos Unfortunately, they are no longer available on the site. Darn

Awesome list, thank you very much!!! I have two questions

The straw hat, what do you do with it in the rollercoasters?

The instant coffee tip is awesome, but do the give you hot water in the parks?

Thanks again!! congrats for the baby

They often will not give you hot water at the quick service restaurants for your instant coffee packs (I’ve tried) but there are are a few self serving hot water options, usually at food court type places. One I remember was at “The Land” in Epcot. If anyone has a list of the self -serve hot water options at all the parks please reply and post it!!

That’s not a straw hat in the traditional sense of the term. We also have those (lifeguard hats) for the beach–the kind that are brittle and would smash if you tried to put them in a suitcase.

The sun hats that Sarah uses in the parks can be folded and put into a backpack or (some of) the pouches on roller coasters. You should not/cannot wear them while riding–they’d definitely blow off.

As Ann said, hot water is hit or miss in the parks. Most of the time, it’s so hot in Florida that we’re doing iced coffee, anyway.

Sanitizer Wiprs link is bad. product returns dogs of Amazon, which isn’t the worst thing in the world. thought you’d like to know for updating links.

Thanks for all your insights. I’ve read your blog for years and it’s made me a Disney trip planning savant!

Lastly, a belated congrats to the Bricker family on the arrival of Megatron!

Thanks for the new list, Tom and Sarah. I’ll be purchasing the new mini Anker charger. As for the LifeStraw bottle, I purchased it and hated it. The 32 oz stainless steel Brita bottle is our preferred filtration system in WDW and it keeps the water cold!

Funny you say that–I personally am not a fan of stainless steel water bottles (or cups of any sort for that matter). I think most of them have a weird metallic taste. To each their own, though!

One thing I always pack – my last tube of H20+ Mint Foot Rub.

It never fails to re-energize those tired feet.

Whenever we stayed at a Deluxe Resort that provided that, I made sure to grab it. I’m not sure it actually does anything to re-energize my feet, but I love the way it feels and smells!

Makes me wonder if there’s a good alternative to it…

We always pack wicking golf attire for daytime in the parks: shirts and shorts for Hubby; skirts, non-logo tops, jacket, and multiple pairs per day of lowcut golf socks for me. Just in case, a handful of tiny alcohol wipes and assorted bandaids slip into my pocket.

Although we are used to our limits in the Florida heat and humidity, even July and August didn’t cause a meltdown.

My husband mocked me for buying Munchkin disposable diaper pails for our last trip when a trash bag would do. So on our next trip, we used a trash bag and after a couple of days he admitted he was wrong 🙂 it seems like a silly purchase, but totally worth it if your trash isn’t getting dumped daily! Congrats on the baby!

One Reason about the yellow water slide is people get stuck on it and when I came down it my papa was stuck so I had to push him down it plus not a lot of water on it

Tom Bricker’s Disney World packing tips are a game-changer! From Camelbaks to Clorox wipes, his suggestions made our trip smoother and more enjoyable. Highly recommend checking out his ultimate packing list before your next magical adventure

Love the cat in the suitcase!

I found cough drops/lozenges plus a cold meds with Guaifenesin or a similar expectorant very helpful in September. Everyone and their child was coughing and snorting and seemed to be sick with covid. I always stash what I need and is safe for my use in a small ziplock bag and pack in a corner of my suitcase. If I never need it, wonderful. But I almost always catch what’s going around at WDW. Everyone knows their own medical issues and whether any one kind of cold meds is safe for them. And good luck finding what you really need and is best for you in an overpriced gift shop when you’re sick. Given how prevalent covid is at WDW, having a plan to deal with symptoms is necessary to salvage your trip.

currently 25% off the Darn Tough socks mentioned on the list at Backcountry and Moodejaw (as of 11-6-23)

This list is awesome! I love Disney. but am going to be going alone soon. This helps me a lot.

This blog is just the best! The packing list has been really helpful; I may have purchased almost every suggestion I’m going next week with my hubby, our one year old, and being 22 weeks pregnant! We’re really pumped to take a slower pace, mid-day naps and more resort days than park days after years of the two of us conquering every attraction at every park. Thanks again for the tips!

2022 Hallmark Disney Keepsake Ornaments – Disney Princesses

This year’s collection features six different Disney Princesses and I need them all for my Disney themed tree.
