Must-Have’s for Disney World Summer Vacation Trips

July 15, 2025 · In: Disney World, Travel

summer Disney must-have's

Summer has now begun for so many, which likely means you’re prepping for your summer vacation. One of my favorite summer vacation destinations is obviously Walt Disney World! Whether you go to do the parks open to close, or you’re like me and prefer to lounge at the resorts, there are certain essentials that need to be on your packing list. Today I wanted to share with you the must-have’s for Disney World for our summer vacation.

I hope these items help you beat the heat and stay comfortable throughout your stay. Enjoy!

Comfortable Footwear

If you’re going to Disney, it is likely you’ll be doing a lot of walking! So you’ll want the most comfortable shoes possible for the occasion. Check out my previous post here for my favorite shoes for Disney! But you can also level up your already comfortable footwear with these shoe inserts.

UV antiwind umbrella for hot days

UV Umbrella

An umbrella is a must – after all, it is Florida in the summer! So of course you can expect the daily afternoon shower. However, go a step further and snag a UV umbrella. This will be functional for the rain and the sun! The one linked is also anti-wind (and tested and approved by yours truly).

Reusable Water Bottle

Packing your own reusable water bottle will ensure you stay hydrated – and save you a ton of money! You can easily fill up your bottle with ice and water at any walk-up restaurant, or visit one of the many water bottle refill stations, which you can find via the MyDisneyExperience app by searching “water bottle refill station.” I personally prefer this style of stainless steel bottle since it’s easy to carry, fill, and it stays cold the longest!

Cooling Towels

In my opinion, cooling towels are such a game-changer for your summer Disney trip! It can get hot fast, but a cooling towel is something you can continually put ice cold water on and place on your body to keep you cool. I’d recommend having at least one for every member of the family – and even multiple for small children, and use them to line a stroller seat.

KT Tape for Chafing

This tip is for my fellow girls with thick thighs! I’ve always had thigh chafing, and it’s super painful and ruins my travel experience. I’ve tried all of the products on the market and for the past two years or so my most reliable remedy has been using KT Tape on my thighs. I get the skin-toned color and cut a larger piece in half, then place each half on each inner thigh. This stuff is water-resistant and sweat proof so it stays on pretty well! Highly recommend!

On Wednesday October 7th at 7:30am I went into the On Wednesday October 7th at 7:30am I went into the doctor for a routine ultrasound at 37w5d - less than 12hours later we were holding Blair Elizabeth in our arms🫶🏼 I can’t wait to share more about my birth story - as having a baby on Wednesday was not on the agenda! We love our tiny 6lb 14oz 18in girl💕
I’m so excited to use the St. Anne Diaper tote f I’m so excited to use the St. Anne Diaper tote from @barringtongifts 💕👶🏻 Thank you so much Barrington for the gift🫶🏼

Ready for our October Baby🎀👶🏻🎃 While I Ready for our October Baby🎀👶🏻🎃 While I’m not quite ready for a whole nursery reveal/tour - here’s some snaps of some details📸

Loving this bookshelf with all the trinkets we collected throughout our TTC journey from the past 3 years as well as our first pregnancy and this current one👼🏼🌈 

Had to add some pumpkins as decor for this month - obsessed with the custom one from @sarahslusherdesigns and the jack-o-lantern is @jellycat 🫶🏼

#nurseryinspo #babygirl #octoberbaby 

I ordered this pillow from @shoprooneyhome and I’m obsessed!💕 Beautiful quality and so many fabric and embroidery choices. My cousin (who was born only a few months after me) knitted us the sweetest blanket - something we’ll treasure forever🫶🏼 

I love the way the curtains look with the wallpaper🌸 This little stool is a Homegoods find from a while ago - and I never knew where I’d use it so I’m glad it found a home! Obsessed with our diaper bag that still needs packed😅

This needlepoint canvas from @lepointstudio was a labor of love for our girl - and I’m so happy with how it turned out💕 As you may be able to tell she already has a fully stocked @jellycat collection😅 The little brass bear piggy bank I found at an antique shop - I found the same one on Etsy that I linked on my LTK👏🏼

The chicest diaper changing station you’ll ever see🎀 We found the trinket box and tray while visiting family friends in NC at a secondhand store. They look absolutely perfect in the room🫶🏼 The bow cup is a surprising Target find - and I’ll always buy a cute cordless lamp, this one being from Homegoods💡

Our Blair Elizabeth💕 Her first name comes from Our Blair Elizabeth💕
Her first name comes from Disney Legend Mary Blair, one of Disney’s first female concept artists🎨 She worked on films such as Cinderella, Peter Pan, and Alice in Wonderland✨ After a break with Disney to focus on her own fine art, she returned when Walt gave her free reign of a ride being built for the 1964 World’s Fair - It’s A Small World🌎

Blair and I will share the middle name Elizabeth - that I also share with my older sister. Given to both of us after our paternal Grandmother💕

We can’t wait to meet her soon!🌈
