Preparing for Disney can be overwhelming…
Steal my checklist to ease your anxiety! ✈️ 🏰
• Complete online check-in in the Disney app + add your room requests—The app only allows basic requests, so if you want a specific building, location, or room area, call the resort directly ahead of time!
• Screenshot ALL confirmation numbers—The Disney app can be glitchy sometimes, so save your hotel, dining, and Lightning Lane confirmations just in case.
• Link, update, + charge your MagicBands—Double check everyone is connected correctly before travel day!
• Start your grocery order early
Add your toiletries, breakfast items, water, hydration drinks, snacks, etc. to a phone note or schedule delivery ahead of time so you’re not worrying about it on check-in day.
•Lay out everyone’s outfits ahead of time
Plan out park outfits now and make sure you have everything you need — shoes, accessories, matching shirts, swimsuits, etc. This is also the perfect time to grab any last-minute items before the travel-day panic sets in!
• Charge + prep all devices—Portable fans, chargers, iPads, headphones — and don’t forget to download movies/shows for the flight or drive for the kiddos.
• Arrange airport transportation ahead of time—Uber and Lyft are easy options, but pre-booked shuttle services can make arrival day even smoother.
• Pack your park bag early-Gather all your essentials ahead of time so you’re not scrambling the night before!
