Pack all items together, including socks and underwear and place in packing cubes or ziplock bags. Then Dad, Grandma or anyone can easily help get the kids dressed when you are trying to quickly get ready before hitting the parks.
PRO TIP for those traveling in chillier months. Layer your clothes when you start the day and peel off as you go. This ensures you have everything to the start the day and makes the process simple in the park. Specifically what we mean here is…Boys wear shorts under pants and jackets over t-shirts. Girls wear shorts under leggings and jackets.
Park Must Haves
SNACKS! You are allowed to bring snacks in the park, we bought these fun individual kids snack boxes. We filled nightly with candies and snacks and our kids looked forward to them each day! These boxes avoided melt downs because we could quickly pull out a snack in between meals and while in lines. We threw some pretzels, Mickey goldfish and candies in our checked bag and filled the boxes each night when prepping our backpack for the next day.
PACK LIGHT! We used a single family backpack for all the things and could easily bring it on rides. I also used a cross body for easy phone access. We compacted anything we needed in these two bags and that’s it.. less stuff the better!

You don’t need to pack jackets and shorts (because your kids are already wearing them, see PRO TIP above!
