Top Shoes For Your Disney Cruise Packing List
Let’s face it, tired and sore feet will be a bummer on vacation, so the correct kinds of shoes are important to have on your Disney cruise packing list.
Especially if traveling to Disney World with a toddler.
Walking Shoes/Athletic Shoes
These lightweight and flexible Skechers Go Joy walking shoes are a great choice. I especially like them because you do not have to bend down to tie up any laces.
These Skechers Performance Women’s Go Step walking shoes are just downright cute!
Sandals
I absolutely never leave home for any vacation or cruise without my SOLE sport slide sandals.
They have a contoured footbed that will lovingly support your feet and a treaded sole that will keep you grounded and help prevent slides during wet situations, like rain, or poolside. I
If you like SOLE’s concept of equalizing pressure distribution of your feet but are not into the slide these SOLE flip flops with the no-slip treaded bottoms may be a better choice.
I own these Vionic Amber Sandals. I own a lot of Vionic sandals and they are all a dream to wear. You will even forget about your feet.

Disney Cruise Packing List “Extras”
Here I cover some extra things that are adaptable to the location depending on your expected weather.
Hat or Beanie
It is very important to add a hat or beanie to your Disney cruise packing list because when out hiking, running or walking you lose the majority of your body heat through your head.
This unisex reversible knit hat, scarf and glove set is very affordable and comes in some cool colors.
And which little girl would not love to wear this Mickey Mouse hat and mitten set?
If you are traveling where the weather will be warmer, you still want to protect your head from the sun. Everyone in your family can wear this unisex UPF 50 foldable baseball cap.

Ear Mitts
These bandless ear warmers are unisex and very cheap. Would be great to add to your Disney cruise packing list if you will be experiencing cooler weather.
These cute unisex kid’s furry ear warmers would be a great choice to bring along.
Thermal Headband
Another item on your Disney cruise packing list is a thermal headband to keep your head and ears toasty warm, if a chunky hat is not your thing.
I have this Columbia thermarator head ring in purple and I bring it on all my cold-weather trips.
Gloves
If you are like me, and your fingers are the first to get cold (and it gets uncomfortable after a while!) you will want to add these touchscreen unisex black gloves to your Disney cruise packing list.
If you are looking for gloves for the entire family, these “one size fits all” gloves will do the trick! They come in other colors too and you get twelve pairs!!!

Sunglasses
Mirrored lenses are all the rage these days, and these unisex oversized mirrored lenses offer UVA/UVB protection and are polarized.
Polarization will reduce the sun’s reflection on the water and improve your visibility.
These unisex aviator polarized and mirrored sunglasses offer UVA/UVB protection and are available in lots of colors, with some coming in two-pack combinations.
Sunscreen
This moisturizing sunscreen lotion is hypoallergenic and paraben and gluten-free. It is specifically for sensitive skin and a great choice for everyone in your family.
Banana Boat Sport comes in travel packets, which would be a breeze to pack, simply tuck into tiny spaces in your luggage. It protects against the sun’s harmful UVA/UVB rays.
Neutrogena offers an ultra-sheer dry-to-the-touch travel-size option too. It is nongreasy and waterproof and comes in 2 strengths.
Great options of things to pack for cruise.
Motion Sickness Options
Unfortunately, I suffer from motion sickness. It is a nuisance and I do not want it to affect your trip. Dramamine-N has a long-lasting formula that prevents and relieves nausea, dizziness, and vomiting.
These organic ginger chewables work against nausea and vomiting and are a nondrowsy formula.
These Sea-Bands drug-free acupressure wristbands are reusable and an alternative to relieve nausea.
These children’s Sea-Bands offer the same drug-free travel sickness relief.
Nondisposable Water Bottle
My entire family and I never leave home on any trip without our filtered, reusable BPA-free Bobble water bottles. We all like the 18.5 oz size because it is not heavy when it is filled.
Cannot say enough about the replaceable carbon filter. That means you will always have fresh drinkable water wherever you are.
If stainless steel is more your thing, then this vacuum-insulated, leakproof, double-walled stainless steel bottle is the one for you when thinking about what to pack on a Disney cruise.
Umbrella
I recently invested in a travel umbrella that I took on my last trip and used it in the rain. Unfortunately, it lacked being windproof and that was a problem for me.
I like this travel windproof compact umbrella, which has an ergonomic handle, and automatic open/close function. It comes in many colors with a travel pouch.
Add this to your pack list for a cruise.

Important Packing Accessories For Your Disney Cruise
Packing Cubes
I recommend this packing cube system luggage organizer set be added to your Disney cruise packing list.

RFID Protection

These RFID sleeves would be an additional option for what to take on a cruise.
Backpack/Daypack
This ultra-lightweight and water-resistant daypack folds up into a tote and is perfect.

Wait- you mean take leggings and a raincoat?? And if you are recommending everything Disney branded anyway, why not just take an empty suitcase and buy our hands, bathing suits and t-shirts at the store on board or isn’t there one.
Thought so.
