I've been using ziplock bags for childrens outfit packing for 38 years. Makes life so much easier. Outfit, underclothes, socks, hair supplies(ie elastic, ribbon, barrettes etc.)and even shoes ready in an instant.

Leakproof bottles are one solution, but lately I’ve just side-stepped the issue entirely. Shampoo and soap in bar form, roll-on deodorant etc can’t leak; it’s also less hassle in your carryon (no messing about with taking out your liquids). You can even get solid toothpaste - you just chew it up a bit before you start brushing.

As a side benefit, bars of soap and shampoo often use less plastic packaging (or even none at all). For travel I put soap etc in special soap bags that allow them to dry whilst sealed (Matador make one, mine are by a brand called ‘Travel Buddy’).

18:38 As someone who lives in Florida, when we laugh and say the weather can be bipolar, we mean it. Winter - you’ll go from freezing to sweltering. I remember not long after we moved here the summer when I was 10, I looked out the front window and it was sunny and looked out the back and it was pouring. You just never know down here 😅

We just got back from our trip to Disney World last week, and your videos helped guide us through our stay. We had an absolute BLAST and avoided any / all issues. Thanks for all your content! NEXT UP, Disney Cruise!

Air tags or Tiles are great for your strollers, too! If a cast member has to move it or (God forbid) someone steals it. You'll know where to find it!!

One tip that I learned on my trip I just came back from is to use the body glide on the bottom of your feet before you put your socks and shoes on. It significantly reduces blisters and irritation.

Instead of a white noise machine (or app), there are several white noise, pink noise, brown noise videos on YouTube that last 10-11 hours. And you can play it while your phone is charging. There are also relaxation, insomnia music videos that you can use as well. I have tinnitus and I have to alternate videos after a couple nights because my ears get used fro them so fast.

Both of my parents have been in the airline industry since I was born, and these tips are just great travel tips that we have done for every trip- even road trips. My fiancé was dubious about us needing a large collapsible duffle and a large suitcase for our WDW trip for just the 2 of us. Near the end of trip he was so glad I did both with not only how much we got, but just how disorganized our dirty clothes got 😂

This video is an amazing guide for travel regardless of whether it is to Disney or somewhere else! I am sharing it with lots of people! Thanks for all your hard work and amazing videos! I love them!

Florida resident, 22 year former Disney manager and Disney geek since 1972 here (I was a year and a half on my first visit). Absolutely yes to the power block with usb ports and noise cancelling items! We just returned from a 5 night AKL stay, and the late night/early morning toilet flush symphony is real🤣. I would also recommend packing a supply of Liquid IV, regardless of the time of year you are travelling. Dehydration is dangerous and this product really helps keep energy levels up and helps prevent those afternoon or early morning headaches.

Great tips. Note: We usually fly with only carry-ons, and we've never had issues bringing small scissors on the plane. Current restrictions say they can be carried on if they are less than 4" (10 cm) from the pivot). :) Also, arm sleeves are great for layers; they keep your arms warm (or cool if you get them wet) and also block the sun. They roll up and fit in your pocket or bag without having to lug a jacket or a bottle of sunscreen.

Substitute for scissors NAIL CLIPPER works for most cutting tasks and can carry aboard plane
I do small sewing or beading projects on plane and use clippers for cutting thread Works for bandaid cutting for me too

The more recent ios updates now have white noise built in. There are only like 5 different sounds but it is very nice to have when you just need something there to fall asleep to. This can be found under “accessibility” “Audio/Visual “ “Background Sounds” -enjoy.

I always use a carry-on and big backpack as a personal item. Never check in luggage, even for longer trips.

Just in time for me to finish my packing! We go this weekend!!

Compression socks is something new we've been taking. My wife's legs start to swell after walking around for hours.

Whenever I have to pack liquid of any kind in my checked luggage I now use a dry bag that I bought for canoe and kayak trips. I place large items in tied off grocery store bags inside the dry bag and small items go in zip lock bags inside the dry bag. If something breaks or leaks the bag itself will keep everything contained. If I'm going to a park with water rides where I can't store my stuff before getting on the ride the dry bag ends up being my shoulder bag for the day with the addition of a shoulder strap. Phone, camera and anything else I want to stay dry stays dry that way.

This year I've decided to get a water bottle with built in filter. I had one years ago but lost it and it was fantastic. I can fill it from in potable water source (sink, water fountain, hotel ice machine and water) and the filter built into the spout works to filter the water for me. It tastes way better and is a safe and cheap way to stay hydrated.

Good tips. Few other things from a seasoned Disney Traveler:
Tupperware and gallon size zip loc bags. This comes in handy so much for leftovers and waterproof storage. I also like to bring a couple straws, the biodegradable straws are pretty awful.
Waterproof phone pouch for pool day and waterparks.
GUM.. it helps so much with an upset stomach, and you won't be able to find it anywhere on property.

Regarding the leak proof travel bottles...you can use whatever travel bottles you have and MAKE them leak-proof by simply placing a small piece of plastic wrap or a small ziplock snack bag over the opening, then screwing the lid on over the plastic. I did this when traveling overseas and it prevents leaks AND gives you a spare ziplock baggie or three!
