I am going to Disney for the first time since the beginning of March. There will be a lot of things that will be different about this trip compared to the last one. For example, my boyfriend will be meeting us there and we are going to be staying at a nice resort for the weekend!
It will be so relaxing and full of so many memories. However, that is not the only thing that has changed. My packing list is going to be very different for this trip given that COVID has made an entirely new normal.
1. Hand Sanitizer
Even though precautions will be taken inside the park, I am going to be sure I bring some hand sanitizer of my own in my bag. That way, after every ride I can make sure I am properly sanitizing my hands and spreading the least amount of germs.
Having your own sanitizer on you will make it a lot easier than seeking hand sanitizer around the park. Most stations are empty halfway through the day anyway. You want to make sure you are staying as germ free as possible!
2. MASKS, MASKS, MASKS!
This is probably assumed given masks are required in nearly every public place (including Disney). However, I am not bringing just one mask, I am bringing multiple.
You never know when you could either lose one, sweat too much in the one you are wearing, or even just want to change up the mask to match your outfit better!!
3. Neck Fans
I know what you are thinking. Because I was thinking the same thing. I could not believe when my sister got these for going to Disney but once I thought about it, I have never heard a better idea.
It is so hot walking around Disney during this time of year and you feel the heat!! Having the neck fans may be laughable at first, but once you have it on in one hundred degree weather, you will be thanking yourself for bringing it.
4. Straw Booze Glasses
Best. Idea. Ever. This is probably the most COVID thing to ever be invented. These are straws that look like glasses and can go underneath your mask.
This allows you to drink around the world in Epcot while keeping your mask on THE WHOLE TIME. Another laughable thing to put on, but the best to have once you are using it!
5. Running Shoes
I know we all want to snap with our Disney outfits, post pictures everywhere! But, I do highly suggest being smart with the shoes you wear.
Running shoes are your best bet at not having your feet on fire by the end of the day. Walking around all day and waiting in lines requires you to be on your feet a lot more than you typically are during the day.
You will want to have the extra comfort on your feet!
