Packing for the Parks...Summer Edition!

Back in December I posted an article called Packing for the Parks.  Today I am presenting a summer edition of my typical park bag (this would be what I would carry around with me during my day/night in the parks).  Keeping the heat in mind, I have created a new bagboard that I hope will inspire you as you make your way through Disney World in the summer sun!

Port Authority Basic Drawstring Bookbag

in Ocean Blue

$4.55

amazon.com

A light weight bag like this one provide the storage you need without the heat of quilted/canvas fabrics.  I try not to pack things that cannot get we in this bag because you never know when you might get wet in a rain storm or on a refreshing water ride.  I really like the material this bag is made out of because it is somewhat "waterproof".

Coleman Company Cool Zepher Mini Fan

200001025 Personal Fan

$3.08

amazon.com

You'll be thanking me when you bring your own fan into the parks.  The mark up in park is outrageous plus, these fans are small enough to be stowed during riding etc.  I really like to use a camping clip to attach mine to the outside of my backpack for easy access.  Make sure to take a pair of back up batteries.  You'll most likely need them!

Walt Disney World Resort Baseball Cap

$17.95

disneystore.com

 I have to have something to protect my eyes from the sun because I suffer from migraines, especially when I am out in the bright sun.  I figure you probably will be wearing your own sunglasses but, a hat is a good idea! 

Fossil "Weekender" Zippered Coin Purse

in floral

 $20.00

Macys.com

Easy access to your id, bank card, and Key to the World.  I like this small but handy coin purse when I am packing light!

Misty Mate

Misty 2.5

$16.99

mistymate.com

I have raved about these before.  You don't need any batteries and they can be filled and refilled with cold water from the fountains all day long.  They are small but they pack a mighty mist!  These are sure to cool you down!

Disposable Poncho

$1.00 or so each at your local Dollar store

I have to admit that I have had these cheap poncho's before and still ended up buying a Mickey poncho (they are just too cute plus I use it at home).  But, it is a good idea to start out with one of these babies in you backpack in the case of one of the quick and random Florida soakers!

Other Necessities that can be purchased at any drug store (CVS, Target, Walgreen's, etc.)

Lip Balm

I can't stand to be without lip balm so it goes with me wherever I go!

SPF

This is a must!  Reapplying throughout the day is made easy and affordable when you bring your own from home!

Anti Bacterial Hand Sanitizer

Kill those germs before you eat that Premium Mickey Bar or Dole Whip!

Gum

Keep fresh!

A retractable Sharpie

This will come in especially helpful if you are doing any character meet and greet signings

Water Bottle

Keeping cool and keeping hydrated are one in the same.  I like to freeze my water the night before so it will be cool throughout most of the day (they melt really fast)! 

Advil 

I tend to get headaches when I am out in the sun for a long time.  Advil or Tylenol will help with this!  Bringing your own means you save money and you have it when you need it!

So, I am trying out something new to me (yeah, I am behind times again!).  It is called blog hopping.  Today I hop, or bounce that is with the folks at Magical Mouse Schoolhouse and this week's hop host site Disney in our Blood  (I actually found this site a few weeks ago and FELL IN STINKIN' LOVE!).  You can click Tigger below to view the hop and visit other amazing sites!  So let's get to it....
