Packing for Disney gets overwhelming fast.
Forget spending hours scrolling the internet and searching through endless Disney packing lists, trying to figure out what you actually need and what you can leave at home.
We’ve done the work for you.
We’ve taken the packing lists we personally use for our own Disney vacations and put them together into one simple, easy-to-use collection. No more wondering if you forgot something important. No more packing a suitcase full of things you’ll never use.
You will find the things we actually bring, the things we’ve found helpful over the years, and all the things we think are worth making room for. We’ve also left out the unnecessary stuff because more isn’t always better when you’re packing for Disney.
This is NOT an AI-generated Disney packing list. This isn’t a list created by a computer that has never walked 20,000 steps around Disney.
Every item comes from our own years of Disney travel. We’ve personally used these items on our trips and learned through experience what is actually helpful, what we can leave at home, and what we never want to forget.
It’s the real list we use ourselves, and we’re sharing it with you. From our family to yours, happy packing!
What you'll get
You will receive 7 Checklists as well as additional bonus tips AND an outfit planner you can print and use for each member of your family!
This isn’t about giving you the longest Disney packing list possible. It’s about giving you a list you can actually trust. These checklists are curated by us to help you pack smarter.
These lists will save you time, money, and will help prevent the "I wish I had brought that" moment at Disney World.

About Us
We're sisters, moms, and the daughters behind Disney With Dave's Daughters. We grew up going to Disney World with our dad, Dave, and now we get to experience the magic all over again with our own families.
After years of Disney trips, we've learned that what you pack can make a BIG difference in how your park days go. We've forgotten things we wish we'd brought, hauled along things we never touched, and slowly figured out the little items that make long, hot days in the parks so much easier.
That's exactly why we created this packing list.
It's not a giant list of every possible thing you could bring to Disney. It's a practical, organized list of what we actually recommend packing, based on years of real Disney vacations.
Our goal with Disney With Dave's Daughters has always been to make Disney planning feel a whole lot less overwhelming. We hope this packing list lets you check one more thing off your planning list and head into your vacation feeling prepared, excited, and ready for the magic.
