For those of you who follow me for Disney content, you likely know Disney Cruise is one of my favorite ways to experience Disney! We will be setting sail very soon on the Disney Fantasy (a first for us!) so it’s had me thinking about all things Disney Cruise Line.
Today I wanted to share with you what to pack for your Disney Cruise. While this isn’t a comprehensive list, these are items you may traditionally think to pack for vacation – even a Disney vacation – that you don’t want to forget. Let’s get into it!
Motion Sickness Products
Whether you do, don’t, or only occasionally get motion sickness – make sure you stock up BEFORE going on your trip! For only a few dollars you can be ready for anything the seas may toss your way. Products like dramamine, herbal inhalers, and ginger chews will be much more affordable on Amazon versus on the ship or even at the grocery store. Also a reminder you do not need name brand motion sickness bands, all it does is use a pressure point so get this pack of six for under $8 instead!
Refillable Water Bottle
Bringing a refillable water bottle or cup will definitely make your life a bit easier. Something unique about Disney Cruise Line is that all soft drinks, juice, hot/iced tea, standard hot coffee, hot chocolate, etc are included! And of course you can get ice water. Refillable cups for you and your party will help you stay hydrated throughout your cruise and on Castaway Cay. One hack is if you’re staying on Disney property before your sailing, just purchase a refillable resort mug, then take it with you on the ship. It’s a great practical souvenir. Be sure to fill up your water bottle each night before heading back to your stateroom!
Organizational Tools
Cruise staterooms are certainly smaller that a traditional hotel room. That being said depending on the length of cruise, how heavy you pack, or how many people are in your stateroom – you may be struggling for space! Thankfully there are so many ways to optimize your space such as these magnetic hooks that can stick to the doors to hold lanyards, clothing, etc. Other products you may want are an over the door organizer, a hanging toiletry kit,
Slip Shorts
The wind on cruise decks are no joke! That being said, ladies you may want to pack some slip shorts to go under those dresses. Nothing is worse than an unexpected gust of wind hitting you at the wrong time.
Door Decor & Lanyards for First Time Disney Cruisers
If this is your first Disney Cruise I don’t want you to feel left out! You may want to bring lanyards with an ID holder for everyone in your party, so you can have easy access to your key. Once you’ve been on at least one Disney Cruise they will provide you with one in your room upon arrival. Many people also choose to decorate their doors, so consider joining in on the fun! You can either DIY items or find pieces on Amazon or Etsy.
Adult Dining Approved Clothing
If you are planning on dining at one of the adults-only dining options; like Palo, Remy, etc. There is a dress code and men are required to wear long pants for dinner. This is something that is easily forgettable when you’re going on a tropical vacation and are planning on mainly wearing shorts. Rules currently state shorts are acceptable during brunch, but previously rules required pants at all times and no jeans. To see more details on the dress code for men and women, click here.
