Pack the Perfect Teen Disney Park Bag

As a teen, I tend to either overpack or under-pack. I have compiled a list of stuff a teen girl should always have in her Disney park bag (Note: This list is made for a backpack/Drawstring bag. This list is not intended for a fanny pack or a smaller bag, although you could probably fit if you go really small on everything).

  • Hand sanitizer/wet wipes: There is hand sanitizer everywhere, but nice to have your own on hand!                                                                         

  • Floss: You never want a picture taken when you have food in your teeth.   

  • Hair ties: This is an obvious one if it ever gets too hot or your hair is crazy after a ride you can just throw your hair up into a ponytail or bun.                                            

  • Camera: This is only if you don’t have a phone or if your phone camera is terrible. I usually use my phone camera, so this might not apply to everyone.                                                

  • Pen and Notebook: This is mainly for the people who love to see the characters and want to get some autographs. Here’s a fair warning, characters can’t sign a part of your body or a tee shirt or any irregular objects (Note:  Autographs are currently paused).

  • Deodorant: This is essential for those hot Disney days.  Native makes a super cute tiny one that is almost pocket size!

  •  Perfume or Body Spray:  This is again for those hot Disney days when you feel like you just want to clean up and smell good. A roll-on travel size works best.                                                

  • Portable Phone Charger: Disney does have Fuel Rod replacements at the parks, or bring your own.  The app has become such a critical part of the day, you don’t want to run out of battery!                                             

  • A Small Wallet: This is pretty self explanatory; of course, when you’re in Disney, you want to buy a souvenir.   That being said, you can also put your credit card on your app or use Google Pay/Apple Wallet to buy any snacks or souvenirs.

  • Basic Makeup: By basic makeup, I mean a chapstick, lipstick, or a gloss. Plus powder if its a super hot day or if you just have oily skin.                                              

  • Band-Aids: We have gone on many Disney trips, and at least once a trip, someone gets a blister or a paper cut. Now, if you happen not to bring band-aids, you can grab some from the first aid center in any of the parks, but a band-aid is nice to have. 

  • Gum: Now, this might be shocking, but no gum is sold anywhere on Disney property, so gum lovers like myself have to bring their own.                                                                 

  • Snacks: Waiting in lines for rides can be very long, and it might take a little while to get to a snack. We love to pack little baggies of trail mix or Chex mix, granola bars, and some other small snacks. A little snack can fill you up while you're running to your next lightning lane reservation!

  • Reusable Water Bottle: Disney has water fountains by bathrooms, so filling up your water bottle is much less expensive than paying five or six dollars for a new bottle of water. Just make sure it’s not glass, or they will ask you to put it back in your car or confiscate it.  Pro tip - You can also get ice water for free at any counter service restaurant even if you aren’t eating there.
