What first-timers wish they'd known

Little kids feel the Florida heat faster than you think

Start with the favorites early

The park is compact, so you can cover a lot before the hottest part of the day. Hit the must-do rides early while everyone still has plenty of energy.

Shade breaks are not optional

Many attractions and play areas are outdoors, and Central Florida heat can build quickly. Work indoor or shaded breaks into the day before younger kids start getting tired.

Pack for splashing and surprise rain

Water play is part of the fun, and afternoon showers can arrive quickly. Quick-drying clothes, a change for the kids, and lightweight ponchos can save the day.

Worth buying before you go

In the suitcase

Order these two weeks out. Buying them once you're there costs about triple.

Nothing to buy — remember to pack them!

Do this, not buy this

The jobs that matter before you leave.

Carry through the gate

Lightweight backpack — Soft-sided, under the park's size limit, with a pocket you can reach without taking it off.

Sunscreen stick, SPF 50 — A stick reapplies in a queue line without a mess. Do faces every two hours.

Blister bandages and moleskin — Treat the hot spot the moment you feel it, not at the end of the day.

Snacks you already know they'll eat — Outside food is allowed. A meltdown at 4pm is almost always low blood sugar.

Wet wipes and hand sanitizer — You will eat with your hands, standing up, several times a day.

Small bills and a card holder — Ride lockers and a few carts take cash. Leave the full wallet in the room safe.

Autograph book and a fat marker — Characters can't hold a thin pen in costume gloves. Bring the chunky marker.

Beach towels — The park's rental towels are thin and cost extra.

Underwater-safe sunglasses strap — The current at the wave pool takes sunglasses whether you meant to swim in them or not.

Insect repellent — Tree-line courses and trailheads are exactly where bugs wait.

Glow bracelets — For the nighttime show, at roughly a tenth of the in-park price.

Pin trading lanyard — Free entertainment in every queue line. Cast members trade with anyone.

Collapsible cooler bag — Loose ice isn't allowed, but ice packs are. Keeps drinks cold until noon.

Foldable rain hat — Keeps the poncho hood off your face so you can still see the parade.

Two pairs of broken-in walking shoes — Alternate them. One pair will always be drying out.

Quick-dry socks — Cotton socks stay wet and cotton socks cause blisters.

Ponchos, not umbrellas — Umbrellas are useless in a crowd and half the rides won't let you carry one.

Refillable water bottles — Free refill stations are all over the park. Bottled water at the counter is not free.

Portable charger and a wall block — The app, the photos and the mobile ordering will drain a phone by 2pm.

Gallon zip bags — Phones on water rides, wet swimsuits, half-eaten snacks. You'll use every one.

Stroller rain cover — Keeps the seat dry so the nap still happens after the storm.

Flip-flops — For the walk between your car and the locker room.

Water shoes — Pool decks get hot enough to burn bare feet by early afternoon.

You already own

Phone charging cable — The one that's already yours, not a new one.

Ziploc bags — For wet swimsuits, phones on splash rides, and leftover snacks.

Swimsuits — Pack one you don't mind chlorine fading.

Bug spray — Whatever's already under the sink works.

Sunglasses with a strap — A loose pair falls off a zip line and is gone for good.

Snacks for the line — Whatever you already have in the pantry works fine.

Cash for tips — Small bills for lockers and quick-service tip jars.

A change of dry clothes — For the ride home — nobody wants a wet car seat for an hour.

Do this

Link your tickets in the park app — Ride reservations open at 7am and you can't book anything until tickets are on your account.

Check park hours for your dates — Hours shift by season and some evenings are ticketed events that close the park early.

Set a 6:45am alarm — The popular rides are gone within minutes of the 7am booking window opening.

Refill prescriptions — Pack them in a carry-on, in the original labeled bottles.

Break in your walking shoes — Two or three long walks at home now saves you a day of limping later.

Screenshot your confirmations — Cell service inside the park is unreliable when 40,000 people are on it.

Check the weather the morning of — Water parks close rides for lightning fast, and re-open just as fast.
