So you’ve heard all about those Disney World “must haves” and you’re feeling conflicted, wondering what’s ACTUALLY needed and what you’ll be fine without on your trip? Trust us, we’ve been there!

That’s why it’s our mission to break it all down for you and help you figure out what you REALLY need for your trip, depending on who you’re traveling with, what your preferences are, and everything in between. That may sound like a challenge, but that’s why we’ve put together an ENTIRE list of all the items we REALLY use in the parks to help you plan!
Spring and summer in Disney World can get RAINY very quickly, and the last thing you want is to be soggy and gross-feeling for the rest of your park day (yes, the sun will dry you, but at what cost? Especially in jeans…). There are lots of ponchos on the market, but we TOTALLY recommend the FROGG TOGGS Poncho!

Personally, this is a must-have on every trip, and if I forget it, I feel very dumb. It’s great material that’s genuinely water resistant, won’t rip on you, covers your WHOLE body, and the best part? Even on the hottest days, you don’t feel like you’re baking inside of an oven!
Disney World hotel rooms are not known for having all the outlets you need, especially if you’re traveling as a family and all of you have multiple devices. If you’re all planning to use MagicBand+ on your trip, or want to consolidate the charging station for other tech, you’ve gotta look into this MultiCharger!

This charger takes up only one outlet, but you can plug FOUR different USB-charged devices into it, essentially charging FOUR devices with just one outlet. It saves you tons of space, and in a room with 3-4 people and lots of phones, watches, portable chargers, and more, that’s SUPER valuable.
When things get hot in the parks, you need something to keep you cool when you’re outside. There are loads of different items on the market, especially when it comes to fans, but we personally love the JISULIFE 3 IN 1 Handheld Mini Fan.

When these things say three in one, they really mean it. The fan itself has three different settings, which is fantastic, but then it also acts as a flashlight and a portable charger! While the portable charger won’t be as strong as others, it’s great to use in a pinch, and that happens A LOT in Disney World.
Speaking of portable chargers that you can rely on, FuelRods are still the way to go in our eyes if you’ll be in Disney World for one big reason — convenience!

FuelRods are very strong chargers on their own, but the best part about them is that there are FuelRod stations ALL over the parks. If yours dies ahead of the end of the day and your phone needs a charge, you can replace your dead charger for a fully charged one at any time TOTALLY free of charge! That basically means you’ll never be without a fully charged phone in Disney World again, and that’s a massive relief.
Worried about rain AND sun in Disney World on your trip? Solve both problems with just one item — the BAODINI Travel Essentials Mini Umbrella!

This isn’t just any umbrella — it’s a UV umbrella, which means it’ll help keep the UV rays from hitting you and therefore burning you or making you even hotter. I’ve stepped under one of these myself, and the temperature felt like it dropped ten degrees! Not to mention that it will ALSO protect you from rainy days!
