How To Prepare For The Perfect Disney Family Vacation

Disney is an epicenter for family fun, and there’s no better place to go with your kids than Disney World or Disneyland. 

It doesn’t matter whether you want to spend the day at one of their theme parks, where the rides are perfect for all ages, enjoy a meal in one of their many restaurants, explore their hotels – from suites to campsites – they have something for every member of your family. If you choose Disney, your family vacation will surely be as magical as possible! But, there are a few things that you need to consider when preparing for that kind of vacation. This article will discuss them.

1) Choose Appropriate Footwear For Being On Your Feet All-Day

Disney World and Disneyland both offer the usual rides and attractions, as well as those that are more unique to those parks. If your family is going to either of those places, be sure that everyone wears comfortable shoes. There will be a lot of walking for you to do – at least seven miles per day if you want to see all the major attractions. Sneakers are probably your best bet, but if you’re bringing young kids who don’t do so well with walking long distances, pack some comfy shoes for them as well. Another thing that you should consider is socks. Having a good pair of socks will make sure that you don’t get blisters. If you want to wear Disney-themed socks, there are a lot of wholesale custom socks on offer. You can put your favorite Disney characters on them, and they’ll keep your feet warm and protected.

2) Bring The Appropriate Supplies

If you are bringing along young kids, be sure to bring plenty of snacks. They’ll need the energy for all that walking. You should also bring drink bottles of water with you, as there aren’t that many places where you can get cold water inside the theme parks. Bringing your own food has its benefits since it can be costly to eat there each day of your trip. So, if you want to save some money, bring your own food into the park with you. If you do this, keep all of it in a backpack, and do not leave your bags unattended. If you have any food allergies, be sure to pack the necessary supplies to accommodate them.

3) Be Prepared For The Weather

You’ll want to dress appropriately for the weather during your trip. If you go to either Disney World or Disneyland during the summer months, be sure to bring a hat, sunglasses, and sunscreen. During the winter, consider bringing a coat. Also, always make sure that you have an umbrella with you in case it rains. You should never set out on your trip without one of those!

4) Rest When Possible

It’s easy to forget about resting when you are on vacation, especially if your plan is to spend the whole day at Disney World or Disneyland. But, keep in mind that you’ll be doing a lot of walking, and you may even have kids with you who might get cranky after being out for an extended period of time. Be sure to plan for breaks, and maybe even bring some toys with you that kids can play with during those times. Between breaks, make sure that everyone gets enough rest in the afternoon so that they are all energized for the evening hours.

5) Bring All Necessary Medical Supplies

Disney World or Disneyland is a great place to take your family, but there are many people there. This means that you’ll be in close contact with a lot of strangers who may have brought something along with them. If you are asthmatic, for example, bring enough inhalers so that they are available just in case. And, even if you’re not asthmatic, it can’t hurt to have some extra inhalers just in case. You might help someone out in the process!

Disney is a great place to take your family, but it’s important to be prepared for what you might encounter. Don’t forget to wear comfy shoes, bring along plenty of snacks, an umbrella, sunscreen, a coat during the winter, toys for kids to play with, and keep in mind that you’ll be walking quite a bit. It’s also important to remember to rest when possible between breaks so everyone can stay energized throughout the trip. Make sure to pack medical supplies if one of your family members has an allergy or asthma. If you plan ahead, your next Disney family vacation will be magical! We hope that these tips will help make your Disney vacation the best one yet!
