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 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!

Officially in the third trimester🤰🏻💕 When Officially in the third trimester🤰🏻💕
When I found out I was pregnant this time around I was scared to take weekly pictures after losing our first baby girl last year. So at 12 weeks Grant finally convinced me, and while I don’t *love* the way I look I know one day I’ll be so thankful to have these📸 If I only get to experience pregnancy once in its entirety, I want to have no regrets - and these photos are just one step of that. Experiencing infertility and loss makes you look at pregnancy in a different way, and it’s not something I want to take for granted💖

#SecretDeoPartner Secret Clinical has been my go-t #SecretDeoPartner Secret Clinical has been my go-to for years, and I’m so glad it’s been there for all the stresses pregnancy has brought! It’s the perfect first step of my morning routine to give me 100-hour sweat and odor protection @secretdeodorant #pregnancytips #pregnancyroutine #secondtrimester 
I could literally sit and talk about baby names fo I could literally sit and talk about baby names for hours👶🏻💕 Let me know if you have any guesses for baby girl👀🎀 #babynames #babygirlnames #pregnancyreels
Babymoon👶🏻🌙 The destination for this trip Babymoon👶🏻🌙
The destination for this trip changed multiple times - initially we were going to Kiawah, then the Finger Lakes, and here is where we ended up😅 After not being able to go to the Finger Lakes a few weeks ago due to Canada wildfires we decided a few days in the sunshine state wouldn’t hurt☀️ #babymoon #maternityfashion #hillhouse 

Loving this swimsuit combo - maternity suit from @amazonfashion and the best coverup from @hillhouse (wearing a M and more than big enough for the bump!) 

🌸🌸🌸

The goal of the trip: lay by the pool & eat😅

I had way too many @uncrustables thanks to them being unlimited in the club lounge😅
