Disney Cruise Must Haves

Over the years I’ve really dialed in a tried and true packing list for a Disney Cruise. Here are the items that I absolutely wouldn’t forget to pack! All links are affiliates.

Reusable Water Bottle – The cups available for drinks on the boat are not made for transporting liquids throughout the ship, having your own reusable cup of some kind is a game-changer. Bonus points if it’s leakproof and you can toss it in a tote bag.

ID Card Holder – Your room key opens your room door, but it is also what you use to pay for anything on the ship and to link your photos to your stateroom. It’s something that you truly need to have at all times. My husband puts it in his wallet and gets on with his life, I like to have easier access, like a cute holder on a lanyard.

Card Game – I always have a card game in my tote bag. We can play while taking a pool break, waiting for a craft to start, or while killing time before a show. Spot It is a favorite because it’s quick and easy. We can play a long game or a just a couple of rounds and not have to worry about keeping score or really setting anything up.

Fish Extender – This blank fish extender gives you creative freedom to really personalize it to your family.

Reusable Straws – The straw options on the ship are eco-friendly – generally paper, or for adult beverages edible. If these aren’t your jam then I definitely suggest taking your own set of reusable straws. I love this set because it has it’s own container and doesn’t require folding.

Disney Play Packs – I keep a stash of these because they’ve saved the day so many times! They’re perfect for dinner time and when you’re waiting for a show to start. We also love to pixie dust them.

Heavy Magnet Hooks – These are a must have for the stateroom. They really help you maximize your space, keep things from cluttering the few flat surfaces, and make it easy to grab what you need on your way out the door.

Waterproof Tote – This is my beach and pool bag. I love this specific bag because it has a zipper, which makes it perfect for excursions. I’ve also used my Bogg bag for beach days and absolutely loved that too.

Disney Magnets – Decorating your stateroom door with magnets isn’t a requirement, but it is fun. We love it because it makes it so easy to find your room down the long hallway of doors.
