- Power strip that has both regular cord outlets and USB ports. This makes it easier to charge everything at once without having to pack a plethora of wall adapters.
- All the chargers, wall adapters, cords, batteries, memory cards, power banks, etcetera one could ever need X2. Number cords, chargers, and adapters one through whatever so none get left behind.
- Foam hand soap from Bath & Body Works. It is what we use at home and helps make the room feel homier.
- Nightlight from the dollar store to help light the room at night and make 3am bathroom trips easier.
- An over the door hanger to hold toiletries and random items. We stick it on the bathroom door and shove stuff we do not have a home for or want to get lost in there. Because of this, we use one with lots of mesh pockets, 42 I think.
- Clothespins to hang up wet clothes/bathing suits, keep curtains closed, etcetera.
- A small blanket or towel to wipe off seats, make sitting on the ground more comfortable, claim space, etcetera. We have one from
amazon that is tear resistant, has weighted edges, folds into a small pouch with a carabineer, and fits two adults. We use it at the beach all the time, so we abuse it and it works fine. I imagine this would be useful for those who bring dollar store shower curtain liners to cover wet strollers.
- Umbrella for walking around Disney Springs and resorts on rainy days.
- One of those hanging shelf organizers that has six cubes in it. Some resorts do not have enough drawer space, so this makes up for it. Especially since we do not always use the closet, and if we do, we do not hang up everything or use that much space.
- Pop up hamper to collect clothes instead of wondering where to shove them.
- Rain jackets
- Individual snacks for the parks and small, hard sided containers for crushable snacks/saving food for later.
- Yogurt, fruit, instant oatmeal, dried fruit, croissants, and other items for quick breakfasts while getting ready/on the go.
- Disposable plates, bowls, forks, knives, and spoons for in room breakfasts/snacking/eating.
- Sponge squares soaked in soap.
- Small, lightweight flashlight for park bag and another for the room. Never know when you will need one to find a lost item or maneuver your way around.
- Small note pad for reminders, tips, etcetera.
- Pens!
- A weekly pill case from the dollar store with each compartment filled with a few of each medicine one has at home. Keep this in room and then transfer a couple pills to a single bottle for the park bag. Never know what you will catch at Disney, but be sure you can tell the difference between each.
- Benadryl cream AND pills. I am allergic to almost life and have sensitive skin. I usually end up using the Benadryl at least once a day because I am having a strange reaction to something I touched.
- Waterproof electronics bag/pouch for water rides and parks. Some are big enough to fit multiple phones or a phone and pocket camera in.
- Room spray to make it smell like home/nicer.
- Lavender sleep spray from Bath & Body Works. Helps calm those with excitement induced insomnia.
- Clorox wipes to wipe down various items in the room. While I am not a germophobe and have faith in Mousekeeping and how well they clean, I do work with five year olds and know that even Disney may not reach the one spot the sick two year old sneezed all over.
- Trash bags have many uses.
- Baggies of all sizes.
- Tweezers and nail files have many uses.
- Small sewing kit.
- Minnie Ears if I am bringing one from my collection or bought some from Etsy.
- Jacket of some sort. Some rides are freezing regardless of the 99 degree heat index.
- Sunhat for lounging by the pool.
- Small crossbody bag so I do not have to bring my park backpack to Disney Springs or dinner at resorts.
- Quarters. They come in awful handy for many things.
- Hand warmers in Fall/Winter/Spring. Yes it is Florida, but most of us natives do not fare well in 50 degree weather. Especially when it is windy and/or cloudy.
- Pillow and blanket. I get cold very easily and may have the monopoly on blankets in my house, so it is easier to bring my own fleece blanket from home that I do not have to share. I also enjoy having my own pillow, especially since we drive as we are only two hours South.
- Sunpass. It is a million times easier to drive through tolls rather than stopping and waiting, especially on Osceola. Many times, ten to fifteen cars can go through the Sunpass line while one has gone through actually stopping and paying. I highly recommend one for any out of state guests who choose to drive or rent a car at the airport. You can monitor your account online and funds never expire.
- Mini first aid kit with small versions of the essentials in my park backpack, which includes Touch Strip bandaids. No other kind will stick to my skin.
- GoToob silicone toiletry bottles with shampoo, conditioner, face wash, body wash, lotion, etcetera in them. They are much easier to use and transport than large or full size bottle. Plus they do not leak like other travel bottles do.
- Small tote or duffle bag in case we need it to bring items home.
