What Should I Bring With Me Into The Parks?


The best way to visit the parks is travel light. Whenever I go to the parks I usually either bring a small clutch with my debit card, cell phone, and sunglasses inside. This saves me time having to go though bag check. This also saves me energy as I do not have to lug around a heavy backpack all day long. And it saves the frustration of trying to jam all of my stuff into the tiny compartments on the rides.

 Here is a list of things you may want to bring with you to the parks:
  • Cell phone 
  • Camera (can be skipped if you use your phone or photo pass photographers)
  • Sunscreen
  • Small fan (can be a good idea for kids)
  • Water bottle (you can get free cups of water throughout the parks, but you may prefer your own water bottle)
  • Umbrella/poncho (check the weather first)
  • Autograph book/ pen (if meeting characters)
  • Trading Pins (if a pin trader)
  • Snacks (if you plan to bring some for kids)
  • Sunglasses
  • Hat

 If you plan on bringing more, I suggest renting a locker. These are great, especially when park hopping. Lockers are $10 for a small and $12 for a large.  You are allowed to go back to your locker as many times as you'd like. Kids bought a plush Mickey that they don't want to carry around all day? Head back to the locker after your shopping spree. Phone battery getting low? You can go to your locker to retrieve the charger. Lockers are located at the entrance of every park, usually right by Guest Relations. 

 What do you think? Any suggestions to the list? What's something you always bring with you to the parks?

A Complete List of Disney Animated Movies

 So, you want to know or watch every Disney animated movie ever? Disney Darling Blog has a comprehensive list of Disney movies, broken. down by the studio from which the films were produced.   Disney Animation Studios When most people think of "Disney movies", they are probably referring to Disney Animation Studios films. These movies were made from Disney's official animation studio and theatrically released.  At the time of writing, Disney Animation Studios (DAS) has released 61 movies. In this list, these movies are broken down by era. The Golden Era starts off with the massively successful Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs. The movies in this era were critically acclaimed and helped establish Walt Disney as a serious filmmaker.  During WWII, the Disney movie studio struggled. To save money, many films were made up of a compilation of cartoon shorts. This era is referred to the Package Era, or sometimes the Wartime Era.  With the war over, D...

A Review of Tinkerbell

One day my friends decided to Disney Bound as the fairies. They asked me which one I wanted to be and I had no clue. I had never seen a Tinkerbell / Fairies movie despite that the franchise was already 8 years old. But after a brief description of the fairies from my friends, I decided to go as Silvermist, the water fairy.  That was a year ago. Just recently I decided it was about time for me to check out this franchise. So I sat down and watched 2008's Tinkerbell. It was not as bad as I anticipated. Sure, there were some cheesy moments and the animation was crude. The movie's strong point was the voice acting of all the different characters. Tinkerbell has an all star cast with Kristen Chenoweth, Lucy Lui, Raven Simone and Jesse McCartney. Tinkerbell is voiced by none other than Mae Whitman. I am a big fan of Mae and she did not disappoint. I also really liked all the different characters, each with their unique talents and personalities. I think little girls could easil...

5 Things I Will NEVER Do At Walt Disney World's Epcot

Epcot is a unique park to the Walt Disney World resort. There’s plenty of rides to ride, shows to watch, food to eat, and alcohol to be consumed. However, there are just some things that I choose to skip at Epcot. Here are the things that I will NEVER do at Epcot: Start in Mexico There is a great debate amongst Epcot fans: start in Canada or Mexico? I am firmly on team Canada. Mexico is a fabulous pavilion, and I like to end on a high note. Plus, the drunker you are, the more exponentially fun the Mexican boat ride is, so you have to save that for last. When it’s the Food and Wine Festival, I love starting in Canada to get some cheese soup first thing. I dream about that soup, and I don’t want to wait all day long to have it.  I also love starting in France from the International Gateway. As long as we don’t start in Mexico! Forget to thank the Phoenicians Did you know that the giant golf ball at Epcot has a ride inside? It’s called Spaceship Earth, and it’s the park centerpiece at...

Disneyland vs. Walt Disney World Disneyland and Disney World are two different parks, located on opposite sides of the country.
