Before you know it, you’ll have suitcases stuffed full of clothes and travel accessories for you and your little ones.
Instead of guessing what to pack and hoping you didn’t forget anything, here’s a comprehensive guide to packing for your family trip to Orlando.
Clothing
Although Orlando is known for its sunny weather, it’s important to pack for potential rain showers and cold days.
Organize outfit choices for you and your children in layers.
Make sure to pack extra underwear and socks, along with pants, shorts, shirts, tank tops, and pyjamas.
Additionally, pack a sweatshirt, a pair of sandals, comfortable walking shoes, a rain jacket, a bathing suit, and a hat.
If you forget to pack an important piece of clothing, don’t worry—there are endless places to shop in Orlando.
Toiletries
When packing for Orlando, keep in mind that hotels typically offer complimentary toiletries, hairdryers, and other amenities.
Depending on how much space you have to pack, decide whether to pack these accessories or use what the hotel offers.
Remember to pack toothbrushes, toothpaste, deodorant, shampoo and conditioner, soap, and a hairbrush.
Depending on your family’s needs, you might also need to pack eyewear, prescriptions, makeup, and hair products.
Travel Accessories
If you plan on taking pictures during your trip, make sure to pack a camera, camera batteries or a charger, as well as your cellphone charger.
If you’re bringing your laptop, bring along a secure carrying case and a charger.
To prepare for outdoor adventures, pack an umbrella, sunglasses, and sunscreen.
If you’re planning a trip to a theme park, bring a comfortable backpack or crossbody bag in place of a normal purse or diaper bag.
Although you might be able to carry the bags on a stroller, you may need to carry items on your back for parts of the day, like while on a bus or waiting in line.
It may also be useful to separate items for the day into two bags.
In one bag, pack a change of clothes for the family and the baby, extra diapers, and sunscreen.
In a smaller crossbody bag, pack any essentials, money, and valuables.
Packing two separate bags can provide peace of mind if you need to leave the stroller and backpack behind for rides or attractions.
Consider packing large Ziploc bags to keep snacks on hand during adventures or long flights.
Additionally, pack books or movies to keep the little ones occupied during the flight.
If you’re not sure what to bring, the handy-size Thompson Chain-Reference Bible can easily fit in your carry-on and is ideal for longer trips.
Travelling With Younger Children
If you’re travelling with younger children, making additional travel accommodations can ensure your trip goes smoothly.
Infant feeders, snack cups, and snack trays make it easier to feed your little ones on the go.
Although you might not need these at home, they can help at theme parks or sit-down restaurants when your feeding schedules don’t match up. If you’re planning a trip to Disney, they can also help your little one eat independently while you’re eating outdoors.
Finally, don’t forget to rent a stroller through Orlando Stroller Rental.
If you’re flying, you can pick up your stroller at the Orlando International Airport.
All strollers have a lightweight, sturdy design, meet Disney size requirements, and undergo an intensive sanitizing process, so you won’t have to worry about vacationing without a stroller.
Plus, all rentals come with free delivery to vacation homes, Orlando resorts, SeaWorld Resorts, Walt Disney World Resorts, and Universal Resorts.
Deciding what to pack for a family vacation can be stressful, especially if you’re travelling with little ones.
Now that you know what to pack for your trip to Orlando, you can focus on planning fun activities and spending quality time with your family.
