Disney World Packing List

Disney World Packing List – May 2021

Hey Disney Moms!

Trying to figure out exactly what you’ll need for your visit to The Walt Disney World Resort in Orlando, Florida?

Look no further than this helpful list of things that you may need for your trip.

Save, print and check off all of the items you’ll need to bring with you!

You may not need everything listed here. Just highlight all the things you will need and then you can check them off as you pack them. 😉

You’ll also want to consider certain factors such as how long you’ll be staying, who is traveling with you (infants, kids, teens, etc.) as well as what time of year you’ll be visiting when deciding “how much” of each item to pack.

There are plenty of grocery and convenience stores in and around Disney Property. So don’t fret if you forget something!

Happy Packing!

Note: Disney is requiring all guests age 2 and up to wear a mask covering the nose and mouth.
