There’s nothing quite like the excitement of getting ready for a Disneyland Paris trip! Packing for the parks is a special kind of joy, but also a bit of a puzzle. In this post, I’m sharing my absolute must-haves for a magical Disneyland Paris experience.
This list is specifically for park days, so you won’t see the usual holiday packing bits like toiletries and underwear, I’ll be doing a separate post on that soon! So don’t worry, I haven’t forgotten the hygiene essentials 😉
Top Tip: Thinking of bringing a selfie stick or an extendable tripod? Don’t.
I had to bin mine at security and let’s just say… it wasn’t my finest Disney moment 😅
✨ Essentials for Disneyland Paris Parks ✨
Comfy walking shoes - My go-to are my Dr Martens (well broken in), no matter the weather. Comfort is everything when you are walking 20k+ steps a day!
Weather-appropriate layers - Even in summer, a light jacket or hoodie is a must. Those evenings can get chilly!
Disney-inspired outfits - There’s something extra magical about dressing in theme. I love finding budget-friendly Disney pieces in places like ASDA or Primark before I travel.
Disney Ears - While park official ears start around €20, my favourite pair are ones I got on Amazon with an elasticated headband (no more sore behind the ear pain!). Click the picture below to check them out.
Waterproof jacket or poncho - I usually wear my leather jacket out and about so I bought these rain macs on Amazon that can go over it if it decides to pour!
Hat, gloves & scarf (in colder months) - So many rides and queues are outdoors, you’ll thank yourself for layering up!
PJ’s or loungewear - After a long day in the parks, nothing feels better than comfy clothes back at the hotel.
🎒 What’s In My Park Bag? 🎒
The Bag:
I use my Loungefly Mini Backpack. These are everywhere in the parks now, but I love how compact and cute they are… and I still haven’t seen anyone with the exact same one as me!
Bag Must-Haves:
✨ Loungefly Bag Insert Organiser ✨
I picked mine up at DLP for €30 (€27 with my annual pass). You can find the regular Loungefly one on Amazon for £25 here.
✨ Small Purse ✨
To be perfectly honest, my purse never left my bag. Everywhere in the parks and village, including the kiosks, accepts contactless with your phone. Just make sure the account you use doesn’t have international charges on it. That said, a bit of cash is useful for tipping at restaurants.
✨ Hydrating Lip Balm ✨
Trust me, your lips will thank you… especially on outdoor rides. I managed to pick my favourite one up in France for €6.99. I also carry a plain Vaseline stick which has SPF 15 for added protection.
✨ Mini Makeup Bag & Mirror ✨
For quick touch-ups and photos throughout the day.
✨ Sunglasses ✨
Trust me these are a must, even in winter the glare can be real!
✨ Hand Sanitiser ✨
Queuing = touching everything. A must-have for hygiene!
✨ Hair Clip & Silk Scrunchie ✨
Perfect for when you just need to get your hair out of your face. Also good for stopping your hair getting tangled on rides!
✨ Water/Juice ✨
I always make sure I have something to drink at hand. You’ll find refill stations throughout the park if you bring your own bottle.
✨ Compeed blister plasters ✨
A lifesaver. Even with comfy shoes, the walking can catch up with you fast.
✨ Tissues ✨
Park toilets are well maintained, but they do get busy. I always keep a little pack of tissues on hand, just in case.
✨ Sanitary products ✨
Always keep a few in your bag… because you never know! There’s nothing worse than getting caught out with a surprise period!
✨ Snacks ✨
I bring sweets and cereal bars with me to keep energy levels up. You can even sneak a croissant from breakfast into a ziplock bag for a mid morning treat.
✨ Power bank/portable charger ✨
You’ll use your phone a lot… maps, wait times, photos, and games while queuing. A charger is essential.
📱 Tech and Travel Must-Haves 📱
Disneyland Paris App - Perfect for checking ride wait times, making reservations, and finding your way around.
Park Tickets/Annual Pass/Photopass - Keep them handy!
Hotel Reservation & Travel Insurance - I always keep a digital and paper copy just in case.
EU Plug Adapter - France uses 2-pin plugs, so don’t forget yours!
🌙 For Hotel Downtime 🌙
😴 Sleep mask - Some hotel rooms let in more light than others.
🩱 Swimsuit - A pool session is the perfect way to unwind and rest your feet.
🧦 Snuggly Socks and Hoodie - Essential after a long, magical day in the parks.
Packing for Disneyland Paris doesn’t need to be overwhelming, but it can be magical. I love the ritual of pulling everything together before a trip and thinking about all the memories that are about to be made.
Let me know, what are your Disney packing must-haves? Did I miss anything? I'd love to hear what makes your trip extra magical!
