I swear by this item in the parks: one kitchen-size garbage bag. It can be used ieither to throw wet clothes/towels into, or to slip over your entire bag to defend against the elements.
I was shopping at walmart once. Bought a bunch of groceries and household supplies, including garbage bags. Heavy rain suddenly started coming down by the time I was checking out. I stood there, among other people, waiting for the rain to let up but then I realised I have garbage bags. I took a garbage bag out and tore holes for my head and arms and headed out in the rain. Works in my book!
Two things I always bring is a reusable water bottle (the fancy one with a filter) because the park water tastes really bad and it's super important to stay hydrated. Also my saving grace has been to go to emporium the first day of the trip and ask for a plastic shopping bag, I put the bag in my backpack and pull it out on water rides to store my backpack so it doesn't get wet or if a bathroom has no hooks for bags and I have to put it on the ground. This has saved me so many times.
The Magic Kingdom water is NASTY. At least at the other parks you can fill up water in the casual dining area on the soda fountain. It tastes filtered and you can get ice.
I highly recommend a few zip lock bags for phones and anything else you don't want to get wet or leak. -zip lock bags -poncho in zip lock with air pressed out for space. Also to put it back in until you can dry it -zip lock with band aids, blister cushion and medicine. -sun screen in zip lock bag in case it leaks -water bottle -battery backup/quick charger/cables in zip lock bag -snacks in zip lock bags
@@disappointedcucumber the ziploc bags are used for 2 reasons: the first is to keep things dry on wet rides and if it rains. The second is security, as the security personnel at the parks want to know everything you're bringing in to the parks and keeping things grouped in clear bags makes it extremely easy for them to search
The BEST thing we brought with us was a Fuel Rod! They are portable charging devices BUT when you are done charging with it, you go to the Fuel Rod kiosk in the park and drop off the empty charger and it despenses a fully charged one back to you. We bought ours on their website for $20 each and it was the best money we spent! There are kiosks in every park and our Disney All Star resort had a kiosk too! I highly recommend this! We had 4 of us with phones so it was used frequently. Now that we're home we still use them, we just charge them at home now...they're yours to keep! :)
Excedrin and Band-aid Advanced Healing Blister Cushions. Nothing will ruin a day faster than a headache or a Blister (when you have to stay on your feet and keep walking). Most trips I haven't needed them, but when I did...life saver! And they are super compact. Hardly any space needed. Also good to carry is an empty water bottle to refill at water fountains and powdered Gatorade to ward off dehydration.
Like to keep it as light as possible in the parks. Single small to midsized backpack with a few protein bars, small bottle of sunblock, a few assorted painkillers, a number of ponchos equal to the number of people I'm traveling with, 2 small recharging bricks (i love my huge one, but sometimes you need to charge more than one thing at once and that allows 2 people to charge their devices at the same time on their persons), a refillable bottle for water, and some wetnaps or wipes for any messes. Nothing super fun or innovative but it keeps you going and lets you fit pretty much any merch and carry it with you. Admittedly I usually just go to the parks with just my wife, so I don't have to factor in filming equipment or baby stuff.
Pin trading tip: because some cast members are afraid of the huge pin collectors, they hide their pins towards adults with a lanyard. So, retaliate by hiding your visible pins.
One thing I never want to forget to take into the parks are band-aids. Seems that someone in the party is ALWAYS getting a blister on their feet, so I learned to bring bandaids in a variety of sizes and moleskin. The moleskin goes inside the shoe to cushion the hot spot that caused the blister while the band-aid protects the sore spot on the foot. That and ibuprofen. Someone ALWAYS gets a headache, probably from sensory overload. I have had headaches and blisters myself and it was nice to be able to take care of it and keep having fun!
I always try to bring a water bottle (usually my Camelbak). I know you can get free cups of water at restaurants, but I like to have my water accessible whenever I want it.
Tip on those ponchos: I put mine in a ziploc bag and fold it up into a square and squish all the air out! It takes up much less space and keeps them nice and tidy :D For just my fiance and I, we bring one small-ish Vera Bradley bag and have our magic bands, our pressed coin booklet, ponchos, 2 portable chargers, and a couple drinks. We also go all the time because we live 2 hours away so we usually have a ton of room for the small things we want to bring home.
I've been traveling through airports since I was a kid and big yes on the power splitter. I used to bring one of those classic 3 way cross style splitters but a even better style to bring is a mini power strip that has a cord end. Sometimes the outlet is in an odd spot and a normal splitter just won't fit. Like in LAX a ton of the outlets are kinda recessed into the walls
Add a few ziplock style bags (Store anything you need to keep dry in them), an extra pair of socks (If you end up going on wet rides, having a pair of dry, clean socks is a godsend), a pair of decent sunglasses with a case to prevent knocks from wrecking them, a small zippable notebook with a few mechanical pencils, a few coughdrops/lifesavers/hard candies, a hat (baseball cap style is easy and cheap), whatever meds you need, a water bottle, and perhaps a chemical cold pack as more of a just in case if you're there on a hotter day
The best portable chargers for Disney(I would say) are solar powered portable chargers. That way you always know you have a charge because we all know it's sunny in Florida. They usually come with a clip that you can clip onto your backpack. Just my little tip. Sometimes, if I know I'm going to be on my phone a lot during the day and/or I'm staying for extra magic hours at one of the parks, I'll bring a regular portable charger and charge my phone with that during the day and use the solar powered one at night when the sun is down.
Well thought out and great presentation. Thanks for posting! I haven't scanned your videos yet but I would love to see your ideas on what a family with kids needs in the parks. You probably have some terrific insights into that as someone who may see family's from a third party perspective.
My wife and I did our first Disneyland trip together (neither of us had been there since the early 2000's) last September. We brought a small backpack that we put a ziploc bag in to put our electronics in when we went on splash mountain. We brought sunscreen, a USB battery pack, a sports bottle that we refilled at water fountains....and that was about it. We had our cell phones in our pockets unless we went on water rides that we were concerned about getting wet on. Only thing I think I'll bring each day is a change of socks. Between getting wet on rides and just sweat, my feet were almost constantly wet and that resulted in blisters, so I"m thinking an extra pair of socks would reduce that. Oh and probably some mole skin for when blisters inevitably show up!
Disney bags are one of my favorite things to have! I have a hand made Mickey backpack that I take every time I go! Always pack a few portable chargers, extra camera batteries if I'm packing, and of course SNACKS! Maybe even a small book to read during lines. 😉
That’s really nice of you Rob! To be really conscientious of other peoples ride experience by putting that shade over top of your camera monitor like that! 😌😇❤️🙏🏻 love it!
Took me a while to notice, but you're playing "Out There" from Hello Dolly in the background! :) First heard it in Wall-e, though the actual musical is great too.
The funny part is since I'm pretty inexperienced when it comes to musicals, I only really knew it as the "Main Street USA background loop" until people started pointing out where the different songs came from!
I planned a trip to Disney World for my friends. I made a list of things to bring and the weather forecast. Rain was forecasted for 2 days and on my list of things to bring was rain jackets. None of my friends packed rain gear but I had a rain jacket! Better to have it and not need it than to not have it and need it!
When it comes to ponchos I’m bringing a Mack in a bag or rather a raincoat that folds away into its own pocket when you aren’t using it. It’s a bit bigger than a poncho but it’s more comfortable and I can use it or longer periods of time if need be. Plus if I loose it like your bad it’s more distinct and recognisable especially with the design on it so I’m more likely to get it back if I say leave it in the restaurant at lunchtime.
Love your pin trading solution! I always keep my traders in a ziploc which requires some fumbling when you want to catch a CM quickly to make a trade. I will definitely be DIYing a trading strap soon.
We bring all the stuff from your video plus sandwich bags, wet wipes, first aid stuff like bandaids and ibuprofen, and a pack of toilet wipe wipes. Our back pack has a cooler pouch in the bottom of it and I will freeze and few waters and stick them in. It adds a lot of weight but it also encourages us to drink them to lighten the load while keeping us hydrated without waiting in line for a cup of water. And maybe a few bags of some sort of kind bar or chips. That's just for the first part of the day. We will go back to the room and take a break, sleep, or nap. After we hear back around 6-7 it's getting dark and cooler outside and we leave the bag behind and if it won't fit in my cargo shorts pocket then we won't bring it.
I like your recommendations a lot, and you and I share many of the same thoughts. I also go for an original backpack design, but I opted for a hi-vis yellow with reflective bits, like construction vests are made of, because when you're leaving the park at dusk, it makes being seen in the parking lot better. As we all know, tourists are not always the most considerate of drivers. In the case of my backup battery, I made sure that my USB supported the Qualcomm QuickCharge standard, which is important because for phones that support it like my Note9, it can dump 80% of the charge into the battery in about 45 minutes. I also take a mini power strip, my Surface Go Tablet (so I have a real computer), and my Switch with my dock-dongle that plugs into the TV in the hotel room. I know you said you don't take the Switch, but even if I'm exhausted from the day, my mind is usually racing, so a few games can help me chill out and get some sleep!
As an older couple we bring band-aides and plastic zip-lock baggies. They are great for keeping my and my wife's wallet dry as well as any meds. we needs to keep with us and the band-aides are for those little blisters and such. Since we wear glasses we also make sure and keep a couple of glass cleaner cloths in our bag.
Bought ponchos took them Everytime. One time I left them behind at the hotel because it was clear skies didn't look like rain...few hours later clouds rolled in and it began raining for 15 minutes
The BEST thing we brought with us was a Fuel Rod! They are portable charging devices BUT when ypu are done charging with it, you go to the Fuel Rod kiosk in the park and drop off the empty charger and it despenses a fully charged one back to you. we bought them on their website for $20 each and it was the best money we spent!

Now that we're home, we still use them, we just charge them at home now...they're yours to keep! :)
Ah! Have so much fun! I live vicariously through you and Christine's Disney vlogs! I just created a new channel in the hopes of starting some vlogs of our Disney trips...but it's a sad empty page as of right now since I have no idea what I'm doing. haha!:) I know you guys had the annual pass this year, and I was hoping to catch one of ya on our early fall trip this late August/early September! Hopefully we'll cross paths one of these days in the future! I'd love to meet you guys! :)
Hey, every channel starts at 0 videos all the same! Looking forward to some vlogs! I can't speak for Christine but I know I have loose plans to get some kind of short trip in towards the end of the year in order to check out Pandora.
We're going the last week in August/First week of September to get MNSSHP in early! I think that'll give Pandora a few months to cool down and get good touring plans for the rides as well. If you end up heading down around that time, shoot me a DM on twitter!
Hey, sorry to butt in, I just wanted to let you know, Callie, you just gained a new subscriber (as soon as I finish this comment, I'm going to subscribe). I am a huge fan of Christine and Rob's videos, so I know I will like your stuff. Don't feel bad for having a page with no videos. I used to make videos, but I deleted all of them because no one watched them. Now I wish I didn't delete them. As Rob said, everyone starts with 0 videos and 0 subscribers. Rob, Christine and YOU inspired me to start making videos again! Not sure what the content will be about, but I know now DONT make videos JUST to get attention and JUST to get subscribers, it will all happen naturally. Ok my little inspirational rant is over.
Well thanks, Jason! I'm not sure how long it'll take me to figure out how to work YT and to get some vlogs up...but I'll be sure to reach out to anyone who has subbie to me now with my new channel when the time comes if they're interested. I DEF won't live up to Rob and Christine's awesomeness though! lol
Don't try to be the next Rob or Christine. Be the best you! There are tons of Disney Park vloggers/Disney info givers, I have watched a few but when I found Rob and Christine's stuff they became my go to Disney fan vloggers. As I said, because you are a fan/subscriber of Rob and Christine, you got me as a supporter. Take as much time as you need to start. No rush.
I take the same stuff as you, do but I use a camelbak 2L backpack, I fill the bladder to the rim with ice and then add water. It keeps the water cold starting at 7am till about 3pm. Extra Ice in the park should be free. Two extra bottles of water, trail-mix or energy bar, sunscreen/bug spray combo ( bullfrog mosquito coast ), flashlight, matches/spare lighter, baby wipes and hand sanitizer. Also a small travel first aid kit which includes band-aids, anti- bacterial cream, anti- itch cream, headache, toothache and stomach meds. I also take flipflops in the summer, wet sneakers make the day miserable.
Suggest a water bottle good one or plastic one you can put in recycling after done with, small snacks to avoid spending extra on food between meals and depending on day a light jacket or sweater to stay warm.
What screen cover did you buy for use on your camera LCD in dark ride environments? How do you get it to stick to the camera when you use it? Love this idea!!!
Hey Rob, can you make a video about the history of the Walt Disney World Monorail System? I think that would be cool. Include things like, how many miles of track, how much the system and a train costs, the difference between the Mark IV, Mark VI and the new Mark VIII models. Stuff like that.
Hey Rob, I really loved that laniard idea you had for pin trading. I started trading pins on my last trip and while I loved doing it, wearing the laniards from the park can get annoying. I plan on going to Disney World again this year and get more pins, but I suck at sewing. Do you have any recommendations for any other laniard alternatives?
Good ideas! Only problem is that security can be a royal pain... one day a lady at security took away my Mom's selfie-stick! Apparently it can be used as a weapon (thought my Mom was gonna use it as a weapon on the idiot security guard:)! Even stranger, they actually had them for sale inside the park!
We spent NYE at Disneyland this year and it ended up pouring! We were completely soaked. The park was selling ponchos for $10 each! People still bought them.
Hey rob I have a top5 idea for you! Well it could go under imagineer category but whatever! Top 5 possible themes for a new Disney resort (ex medevil hotel)
couple protein bars. I keep 1-2 with me at all times so if you get hungry stuck in a line, you don't have a sugar crash. Also try to have a water bottle or refillable one.
I bring a cheap pair of flip flops to switch into incase it starts to downpour... It sucks having your shoes get sopping wet from the rain and being stuck walking around in them all day.
Hey Rob! I’m really looking into getting a camera for when I go to Disney (and I really want a good camera in general) but I’m not sure which camera to get. I was looking at the camera that you have, but I really want a camera that takes really good photos as well as videos. How good is the photo quality? Thanks!
I love that you menttion disposable ponchos. They are not only a waste of money but a waste of resources if only used one day or one visit. Not to mention the environmental impact. I always take my refillable water bottle with a filter included and food, sandwich or fruits.
Thank You! A "have a great trip" from Rob is awesome! I hope you have a great trip as well! I'm going to be there next weekend. I was just hoping I was going to be able to see you.
Erykah Faulk You can go on the Disney World website! Enter your dates, hotel preference, number of park days, flights (some airlines, not all), and if you want the meal plan. It'll give you a package price. I'd bring a little more money if you want anything additional like souvenirs or extra snacks, just in case.
I always carry gum and a toothbrush and toothpaste in my bag. If I have a few minutes I will brush my teeth after a meal. If not I'll pop some gum in to freshen my mouth for the time being.
I bring my phone, sunglasses, sandals, gum, protein bars, hand sanitizer, wet wipes, chapstick, sunscreen, and wallet. For me, I feel much better packing more items because I feel more prepared. 😀
If you're going to go to the Disney Parks, get fastpass in advance. There is no reason you should be in hour long rides just for a short ride time. Even if the ride is amazing, you don't have to spend hours of your life just waiting in lines.
Rob, you didn't mention sun-glasses(with a strao to keep them during rides, along with a case), a HAT, suntan lotion, medical items(headache and stomach pills, as well as lip balm) and some wet- wipes for dealing with sticky or messy fast-food items like ice cream.
This video was more designed to share what I bring with me at the parks, not so much a catch-all "this is what you should bring to the parks." So I only made mention of what I personally bring with me when I'm down there.
I grew up in Central Florida in the 70s. worked for Disney for 9 years. Went to the parks many many times. Never needed a bag. when I go now all I bring is my ticket, iPhone and wallet. this id WDW not an African safari
I grew up in South Florida, down by the Everglades, and we used to go to both Disney World and Universal literally 4-5 times a year. Now, I go just with my partner, but I learned a lot from living in Florida, and from visiting the parks with my parents. No ponchos. NO ponchos. There is no reason for it. Florida rains, it just does. It'll go away in fifteen minutes most days. Don't put on a poncho, go inside somewhere and wait it out. Especially for families, it's way too hard to manage everyone in a poncho, and then your children are wet and annoyed when it stops raining fifteen minutes later, and you now have three of four wet ponchos. What are you going to do with them? Just wait it out inside, bring a garbage bag to put around your backpack for water rides.
Meh, Ponchos are actually pretty good since it allows you to keep moving... comes in handy in getting to places quicker when it does rain and not to mention you can beat some hefty queues cos of it
If you have children, you have to wrangle each of them into a wet, hot piece of plastic and then lead them along safely to the queue, which is going to be ridiculous anyway because Disney's too stuck on how they started Fast Pass to come up with something better. And then it stops raining, and you tape off the hot, wet, and now internally sweaty clump of plastic (x each kid) to...what? stuff them into a garbage bag in your backpack while holding onto your kids? What if you have other things to carry, like snacks, a diaper bag, and changes of clothes (which you do, if you're a parent). It is not practical, it is inefficient, it is more to carry, and it'll put your children in a bad mood, especially if they're toddlers. But do what you like.
Hayley M totally agree with this! Also, being an Oregonian with a child, we found that the rain was nothing in comparison to Oregon rain, so it wasn't a big deal. My daughter thought nothing of it and also enjoyed the sound against the trees in the park. The rain ended up being a favorite, due to the sound and also the cooling off effects. We didn't get very wet, either. Dried out in under an hour.
I LOVE DISNEY! And it's cool too see many youtubers like you who admire that love also! I go around 6 times a year! People say that's ALOT but with my love for Disney it's not enough. Also I have a question, didn't you just get back from DIsney? XD I Liked the video, subscribed and turned on Post Notification so I don't miss any Disney themed videos and vlogs. I started watching you once you made those Disney World Minecraft Videos! I think that's been a while now... Anyways I love your vids!

Jesse Burrows i kept my passport in a ziplock

badbiker666 i tape my feet with moleskin everyday. I love it. Only forgot to do it once and my feet ended up so badly hurt
Great idea for pins. I don't trade but collect.
Excellent set of bag items. Loved the pin display/collector - great idea for larger conventions that do pins as well.
I always try to bring a water bottle (usually my Camelbak). I know you can get free cups of water at restaurants, but I like to have my water accessible whenever I want it.

It adds a lot of weight but it also encourages us to drink them to lighten the load while keeping us hydrated without waiting in line for a cup of water. And maybe a few bags of some sort of kind bar or chips. That's just for the first part of the day. We will go back to the room and take a break, sleep, or nap. After we hear back around 6-7 it's getting dark and cooler outside and we leave the bag behind and if it won't fit in my cargo shorts pocket then we won't bring it.
I like your recommendations a lot, and you and I share many of the same thoughts. I also go for an original backpack design, but I opted for a hi-vis yellow with reflective bits, like construction vests are made of, because when you're leaving the park at dusk, it makes being seen in the parking lot better. As we all know, tourists are not always the most considerate of drivers. In the case of my backup battery, I made sure that my USB supported the Qualcomm QuickCharge standard, which is important because for phones that support it like my Note9, it can dump 80% of the charge into the battery in about 45 minutes. I also take a mini power strip, my Surface Go Tablet (so I have a real computer), and my Switch with my dock-dongle that plugs into the TV in the hotel room. I know you said you don't take the Switch, but even if I'm exhausted from the day, my mind is usually racing, so a few games can help me chill out and get some sleep!
As an older couple we bring band-aides and plastic zip-lock baggies. They are great for keeping my and my wife's wallet dry as well as any meds. we needs to keep with us and the band-aides are for those little blisters and such. Since we wear glasses we also make sure and keep a couple of glass cleaner cloths in our bag.
Thanks for the great tips Mr Rob. Very insightful. Keep up the good work brother.
Bought ponchos took them Everytime. One time I left them behind at the hotel because it was clear skies didn't look like rain...few hours later clouds rolled in and it began raining for 15 minutes
The BEST thing we brought with us was a Fuel Rod! They are portable charging devices BUT when ypu are done charging with it, you go to the Fuel Rod kiosk in the park and drop off the empty charger and it despenses a fully charged one back to you. we bought them on their website for $20 each and it was the best money we spent! There are kiosks in every park and our Disney All Star resort had a kiosk too! I highly recommend this! We had 4 of us with phones so it was used frequently. Now that we're home, we still use them, we just charge them at home now...they're yours to keep! :)
very informative. Thank You!
Ah! Have so much fun! I live vicariously through you and Christine's Disney vlogs! I just created a new channel in the hopes of starting some vlogs of our Disney trips...but it's a sad empty page as of right now since I have no idea what I'm doing. haha!:)
I know you guys had the annual pass this year, and I was hoping to catch one of ya on our early fall trip this late August/early September! Hopefully we'll cross paths one of these days in the future! I'd love to meet you guys! :)
Hey, every channel starts at 0 videos all the same! Looking forward to some vlogs! I can't speak for Christine but I know I have loose plans to get some kind of short trip in towards the end of the year in order to check out Pandora.
We're going the last week in August/First week of September to get MNSSHP in early! I think that'll give Pandora a few months to cool down and get good touring plans for the rides as well. If you end up heading down around that time, shoot me a DM on twitter!
Hey, sorry to butt in, I just wanted to let you know, Callie, you just gained a new subscriber (as soon as I finish this comment, I'm going to subscribe). I am a huge fan of Christine and Rob's videos, so I know I will like your stuff.
Don't feel bad for having a page with no videos. I used to make videos, but I deleted all of them because no one watched them. Now I wish I didn't delete them. As Rob said, everyone starts with 0 videos and 0 subscribers. Rob, Christine and YOU inspired me to start making videos again! Not sure what the content will be about, but I know now DONT make videos JUST to get attention and JUST to get subscribers, it will all happen naturally.
Ok my little inspirational rant is over.
Well thanks, Jason! I'm not sure how long it'll take me to figure out how to work YT and to get some vlogs up...but I'll be sure to reach out to anyone who has subbie to me now with my new channel when the time comes if they're interested. I DEF won't live up to Rob and Christine's awesomeness though! lol
Don't try to be the next Rob or Christine. Be the best you! There are tons of Disney Park vloggers/Disney info givers, I have watched a few but when I found Rob and Christine's stuff they became my go to Disney fan vloggers.
As I said, because you are a fan/subscriber of Rob and Christine, you got me as a supporter. Take as much time as you need to start. No rush.
hey-any way you could link me to where i can find that awesome travel strip plug?
+orlendatube So the original one I use apparently isn't sold anymore, but this is essentially the same thing: amzn.to/2ibdHeK
What kind of fabric is it under amazon for the pins? Great idea❤❤
Can I ask what that large beautiful Disney parks book is, I’ve wondered for forever
It's a puzzle!
I think it may be a photo album
I take the same stuff as you, do but I use a camelbak 2L backpack, I fill the bladder to the rim with ice and then add water. It keeps the water cold starting at 7am till about 3pm. Extra Ice in the park should be free. Two extra bottles of water, trail-mix or energy bar, sunscreen/bug spray combo ( bullfrog mosquito coast ), flashlight, matches/spare lighter, baby wipes and hand sanitizer. Also a small travel first aid kit which includes band-aids, anti- bacterial cream, anti- itch cream, headache, toothache and stomach meds. I also take flipflops in the summer, wet sneakers make the day miserable.
Where’d you get the bag
Suggest a water bottle good one or plastic one you can put in recycling after done with, small snacks to avoid spending extra on food between meals and depending on day a light jacket or sweater to stay warm.
With the magic of editing lol true story 👌🏼
I pack pretty light too but then again I live close to the park 🙈
As much as I go to WDW, I love watching your vlogs! Look forward to fun! 😄
Thanks! Expecting to put part 1 up in two weeks from today.
What screen cover did you buy for use on your camera LCD in dark ride environments? How do you get it to stick to the camera when you use it? Love this idea!!!
Hey Rob, can you make a video about the history of the Walt Disney World Monorail System? I think that would be cool. Include things like, how many miles of track, how much the system and a train costs, the difference between the Mark IV, Mark VI and the new Mark VIII models. Stuff like that.
You: Pop sockets
Me, an intellectual: expandable pop up knobs
Hey Rob, I really loved that laniard idea you had for pin trading. I started trading pins on my last trip and while I loved doing it, wearing the laniards from the park can get annoying. I plan on going to Disney World again this year and get more pins, but I suck at sewing. Do you have any recommendations for any other laniard alternatives?
Good ideas! Only problem is that security can be a royal pain... one day a lady at security took away my Mom's selfie-stick! Apparently it can be used as a weapon (thought my Mom was gonna use it as a weapon on the idiot security guard:)! Even stranger, they actually had them for sale inside the park!
We spent NYE at Disneyland this year and it ended up pouring! We were completely soaked. The park was selling ponchos for $10 each! People still bought them.
How do you hide your food?
CANDY! It can literally be a lifesaver... people get hypoglycemic waiting in long lines! A small bottled soft drink is smart too!
I always bring a real basic Med kit - bandaids, anti septic, gauze for blistaers.
AND SUNSCREEN
What about days when you want to play in the parks while it's a rain day?
Have the store send the merchandise to the exit of the park. And pick it up on you’re way out (to you’re hotel).
Hey rob I have a top5 idea for you! Well it could go under imagineer category but whatever! Top 5 possible themes for a new Disney resort (ex medevil hotel)
I have a pocket socket also,,, I love it
couple protein bars. I keep 1-2 with me at all times so if you get hungry stuck in a line, you don't have a sugar crash. Also try to have a water bottle or refillable one.
Watching your videos makes me a little sad that I’m not at Disneyland or Disneyworld
I am %7000173819170 jealous. Seriously, you went a few weeks ago and can go again. Soooooo jealous .
I bring a cheap pair of flip flops to switch into incase it starts to downpour... It sucks having your shoes get sopping wet from the rain and being stuck walking around in them all day.
What is that big blue book in the background? I love your videos they are awesome
That's actually a Disney World puzzle. The box is just made to look like a book. Also thanks!
You and I have the exact same phone philosophy-- naked everywhere but Disney.
Hey Rob! I’m really looking into getting a camera for when I go to Disney (and I really want a good camera in general) but I’m not sure which camera to get. I was looking at the camera that you have, but I really want a camera that takes really good photos as well as videos. How good is the photo quality? Thanks!
I love that you menttion disposable ponchos. They are not only a waste of money but a waste of resources if only used one day or one visit. Not to mention the environmental impact. I always take my refillable water bottle with a filter included and food, sandwich or fruits.
My pass is about to run out so this Saturday is gonna be my last time going to the park for awhile and I'm already sad about it D':
I'm gonna be there next week! How long will you be there?
+TheBacnJake Just till Tuesday afternoon. Have a great trip!
Thank You! A "have a great trip" from Rob is awesome! I hope you have a great trip as well! I'm going to be there next weekend. I was just hoping I was going to be able to see you.
Hey Rob, have a great trip!
How can I figure out how much my total trip is? I really want to go but I just don't know how much money I need.
Erykah Faulk You can go on the Disney World website! Enter your dates, hotel preference, number of park days, flights (some airlines, not all), and if you want the meal plan. It'll give you a package price. I'd bring a little more money if you want anything additional like souvenirs or extra snacks, just in case.
I always carry gum and a toothbrush and toothpaste in my bag. If I have a few minutes I will brush my teeth after a meal. If not I'll pop some gum in to freshen my mouth for the time being.
I bring my phone, sunglasses, sandals, gum, protein bars, hand sanitizer, wet wipes, chapstick, sunscreen, and wallet. For me, I feel much better packing more items because I feel more prepared. 😀
gum is banned in disney parks, due to Walt not wanting gum to be stuck anywhere in the park.
Madison Nielsen
Don’t worry I’m the same way, I even bring a screwdriver everywhere (but not to Disney because I’ve never been to Disney)
Where did you get the Vault 111 bag?!!! I need to rewatch because I was too busy geeking over the bag. :D
Bethesda's web store sells it. I love it!
I saw the bag in the thumbnail and i accidentally had a heart attack
i do that when other people are in my fandom and i already like them
I put the pins in my bag. The backs always fall off. And I'm not gonna buy special backs for pins I'm just going to trade
Those shoes r dope
If you're going to go to the Disney Parks, get fastpass in advance. There is no reason you should be in hour long rides just for a short ride time. Even if the ride is amazing, you don't have to spend hours of your life just waiting in lines.
So you don't bring any water?
Rob, you didn't mention sun-glasses(with a strao to keep them during rides, along with a case), a HAT, suntan lotion, medical items(headache and stomach pills, as well as lip balm) and some wet- wipes for dealing with sticky or messy fast-food items like ice cream.
This video was more designed to share what I bring with me at the parks, not so much a catch-all "this is what you should bring to the parks." So I only made mention of what I personally bring with me when I'm down there.
I got confused by the title versus the thumbnail and though Disney gave you a Fallout themed bag.
Well Rob I hope you enjoy your trip
I grew up in Central Florida in the 70s. worked for Disney for 9 years. Went to the parks many many times. Never needed a bag. when I go now all I bring is my ticket, iPhone and wallet. this id WDW not an African safari
I'm going in a couple weeks.
What is the name of your camera?
For the parks? Canon G7X Mark II
Rob Plays thx
I grew up in South Florida, down by the Everglades, and we used to go to both Disney World and Universal literally 4-5 times a year. Now, I go just with my partner, but I learned a lot from living in Florida, and from visiting the parks with my parents. No ponchos. NO ponchos. There is no reason for it. Florida rains, it just does. It'll go away in fifteen minutes most days. Don't put on a poncho, go inside somewhere and wait it out. Especially for families, it's way too hard to manage everyone in a poncho, and then your children are wet and annoyed when it stops raining fifteen minutes later, and you now have three of four wet ponchos. What are you going to do with them? Just wait it out inside, bring a garbage bag to put around your backpack for water rides.
Meh, Ponchos are actually pretty good since it allows you to keep moving... comes in handy in getting to places quicker when it does rain and not to mention you can beat some hefty queues cos of it
If you have children, you have to wrangle each of them into a wet, hot piece of plastic and then lead them along safely to the queue, which is going to be ridiculous anyway because Disney's too stuck on how they started Fast Pass to come up with something better. And then it stops raining, and you tape off the hot, wet, and now internally sweaty clump of plastic (x each kid) to...what? stuff them into a garbage bag in your backpack while holding onto your kids? What if you have other things to carry, like snacks, a diaper bag, and changes of clothes (which you do, if you're a parent). It is not practical, it is inefficient, it is more to carry, and it'll put your children in a bad mood, especially if they're toddlers. But do what you like.
Hayley M totally agree with this!
Also, being an Oregonian with a child, we found that the rain was nothing in comparison to Oregon rain, so it wasn't a big deal. My daughter thought nothing of it and also enjoyed the sound against the trees in the park.
The rain ended up being a favorite, due to the sound and also the cooling off effects. We didn't get very wet, either. Dried out in under an hour.
Stephanie Robertson Brown I'm Scottish and in florida rain is nothing compared to that
I mean it does rain for more than 15 minutes frequently in florida. Especially in the summer.
Have fun at Disney!
Thanks!
I LOVE DISNEY! And it's cool too see many youtubers like you who admire that love also! I go around 6 times a year! People say that's ALOT but with my love for Disney it's not enough. Also I have a question, didn't you just get back from DIsney? XD
I Liked the video, subscribed and turned on Post Notification so I don't miss any Disney themed videos and vlogs. I started watching you once you made those Disney World Minecraft Videos! I think that's been a while now... Anyways I love your vids!
Our last trip was back in January. Admittedly, I usually don't go this often but I had an annual pass this year and wanted to make the most of it!
6 TIMES A YEAR! Wooooah.
I'm glad I'm not the only one to not use a case for my phone!
My brother has the same camera and tripod. I assume he likes it the same reasons you do
It's all about the fannie pack!
Disney sell portable chargers at the end of rock n roller coaster
Sunscreen would be a good addition to the bag
Why have a lanyard or what you did, when you can buy a messenger bag at the parks with our The Mouse on it?!?
I bring a draw string bag and put my phone, a water bottle, and some cash, I bring the bag so if I buy any. Souvenirs I can put them in the bag
oh my gosh i want to see the home videos AHAHA
You're in luck! ruclips.net/p/PLsVbKOoQe1mErprRXGzIv2rfE988o7PS0
INCREDIBLE AHAHA
the mine is in the shop
