As I recently embraced the enchanting world of Disneyland once again by becoming an Annual Pass holder, the joy and excitement of frequent visits have become a cherished part of our family routine. Navigating the park with kids can be a delightful adventure, and here are some necessities to ensure a seamless and enjoyable experience:

1. Comfortable Strollers:

A reliable stroller is a must for little ones who might need a break from walking. Opt for a sturdy, easily foldable model for convenience. I have the BOB stroller and it has lasted me for 11+ years and four kids. One of the best investments and its so easy to navigate heavy crowds, folds up easily, and great for jogging or going to the beach with too!




2. Spacious Stroller Caddy

Bringing water bottles and essentials is necessary for a long day at the theme park. This adorable themed stroller caddy has a place for your personal belonging and those much needed items for your baby or toddler.



3. Stroller Hooks:

If you tend to over pack for every occasion, like I do, then you need one of the these Mickey Mouse hooks to hang your extra baggage! They are durable and a perfect addition to organizing all your stroller accessories or hanging water bottles on.



4. Snack Essentials:

Keep hunger at bay by packing a variety of snacks. Granola bars, fruit slices, and reusable water bottles are essential to keep everyone fueled and hydrated. I like to stock up on healthy snacks since we are constantly on the go and it's convenient to have on hand just in case you have a last minute plan to book reservations at the park. I like to order these healthier choice variety packs so that my kids can choose what they would like to snack on. I also like to put grocery orders in through Amazon Fresh and have them deliver directly to my doorstep when I don't have time to go to the store.






5. Travel Organizers:

I love having these little snack container, so each of the kids can have their own variety of snacks and keep them in their own bag. The water proof bags are great for keeping the dry snacks or granola bars in and has a convenient snap so it can hang from the stroller handle.






6. Autograph Book:

Transform your visit into a magical memory by bringing an autograph book. Kids can collect signatures from beloved characters, creating a unique keepsake.



7. Portable Phone Charger:

Capture every magical moment with your phone camera. A portable charger ensures your device stays powered throughout the day, allowing you to document the joy. This is a necessity if you are goin to be at the theme park all day. With most everything being digital, my phone tends to burn through the battery a lot faster. These solar chargers have built in adapters and a hook so that you can hang it from the stroller.





8. Warm Weather Gear:

Shield your family from the California sun with hats, sunglasses, and sunscreen. This ensures a comfortable experience under the bright Disneyland skies.



9. Cool Whether Gear:

I like to keep to throw blankets with my Disneyland gear for those days that we are going to be there all day and it gets colder in the evening, especially if staying for parades and fireworks. I also like to keep beanies on hand when the weather get colder.






10. Rainy Day Weather:

For those unexpected rainy days in California, I always like to keep an umbrella on hand, a waterproof stroller cover, and rain jackets that fold up into a zipper pocket so that they are easy to pack.



11. Themed Apparel:

Elevate the excitement with Disney-themed clothing. Whether it’s matching family shirts or favorite character costumes, dressing up adds an extra layer of fun.




12. Entertainment for Queues:

Bring along small toys or games to keep kids entertained during ride queues. It’s a handy distraction for those inevitable waiting periods. These book supply tons of fun facts about the theme parks and keep you busy for hours!




13. First Aid Kit:

Be prepared for minor scrapes or headaches with a compact first aid kit. Disneyland does have medical stations, but having essentials on hand can save time.








14. Multi - Use Bag:

I like to have a universal bag that can be used as a diaper bag and other belongings that you don't need to carry throughout the park or waiting in lines, and can hang on the stroller.


This backpack is one of my favorites and works so well for traveling as well. It has a built in pocket and adaptor so you can carry a battery pack and charge your device.




15. Small Backpack:

It is enevitable that you will have to wait in line for either a ride, the bathroom, to get food, and with children it can be hard to have snacks or drinks redily available if you have parked your stroller. Each of my kids have their own personal bags to keep their snacks and water as well as sunglasses or hats/ears. I also put small chapsticks and hand sanitizers in there just in case. Loungefly has a wide selection of mini backpacks and if you have a favorite character, they have so many themes to choose from. These bags are great because they are light weight, have adjustable strap and really are perfect for anyone.

Loungefly Disney Mickey Constellation All Over Print Glow in the Dark Double Strap Shoulder Bag Purse:




Remember, each Disneyland visit is a unique adventure. By incorporating these essentials into your trip, you’ll be well-prepared for a magical experience with your family. Enjoy every moment of your journey at Disney theme parks!
