What to Pack for a Disney World Vacation
Wondering what to pack for a Disney World vacation? I’ve compiled a list of items that I find myself or my group needing as a frequent visitor to the parks. Here’s my top recommendations!

By far, the most popular backpacks you’ll see in the parks are those made by Loungefly or Stoney Clover. However, there are a ton of great options for Disney themed backpacks on Amazon as well! Portable Phone Charger – A portable charger can be such a lifesaver at the parks. Now that many…

(often referred to as HoJo Anaheim) I’ve come to love this property over the years and find myself recommending it to so many people. Here’s why it’s one of my favorites: Disney themed rooms (that look out at the parks!) In Building 1 and 2 at the HoJo Anaheim they’ve renovated their rooms to have a fun Disney theme. These updated rooms have a lot of fun touches of Disney flair that make…
