Prepping for the Magic: A Disney World Packing List

Prepping for the Magic: A Disney World Packing List

It is almost time for the annual migration of New Orleanians to Orlando. Yes, I am talking about the large number of locals who will head to Disney World for the Mardi Gras holiday. Whether the plan is to skip the parades or skip being home with the kiddos out of school, Disney will see a lot of purple, green and gold this week.

With the dining reservations made and Genie+ considered, it is just about time to pack the suitcases. But if you are like me, I always forget to pack something crucial for vacation. The beauty of Disney is there is pretty much nothing you can’t get on the grounds, but I like to be prepared and have what I need. So here is a list of things to toss in the suitcase before you are Disney bound!Disney World Packing List
