A day at Disneyland can be tough, but it can be a whole lot easier if families are prepared. Here are my recommendations for prepared parents:

Packing list for the kids and baby:

• Stroller and hands-free front baby carrier. Check out my guide for picking the right stroller by clicking here.
• Portable changing pad or receiving blanket on which to change baby’s diaper.
• Medications, including those for pain relief and fevers, allergies, etc.
• Diapers / Pull-ups (Overnight diapers and overnight pull-ups provide extra protection both, day or night!)
• Baby wipes can be used to wipe sticky hands, clean up stroller spills, diaper changes and much more.
• Changes of clothing for day and evening. 
• Blankets can keep baby warm, provide sun protection and be a place to sit while waiting for a parade.
• Bright ribbon or other easy identifier for your stroller. (This can be helpful especially helpful if you are renting a stroller.)
• Antibacterial. (The antibacterial wipes can be used on hands and food surfaces are a great option.)
• Toys for children who get bored waiting for entertainment, food, rides, etc. 
• Pajamas to make slipping the kids into bed after a long day trip to the parks a lot easier.
• A favorite Disney costume. (The Cast Members and characters always fuss a little extra over kids in costume. Plus, those costumes make for awfully cute pictures.)
• Nursing cover.
• Pacifiers. (Bring extras!)
• Diaper ointment.
• Baby food, extra spoons and/or snacks (and lunch if desired). I’m a huge fan of the prepared Gerber Graduate meals for older children. Plus, they are much less expensive than Disney kids’ meals.
• Bottles, sippy cups, baby spoons, toddler silverware.
• Bottles of water/formula, juice boxes, etc.
• Sunscreen.
• Hat.
• Jackets or sweaters.

Packing list for the rest of the family:

• Patience!
• Water bottles, which can be refilled for free in the parks.
• More sunscreen.
• Snacks, juice, bottles of water, etc.
• Hats and sunglasses.
• Cell phones or handheld walkie-talkies.
• Clothing to keep warm in the evening.
• Medications for headaches, upset stomach, etc.
• Camera/video camera
• Jackets and sweatshirts
