I want smaller ships, which we've all heard the rumors for the Discovery class, Discovery class air quotes for those on the not watching the video. The big ships are nice, but I like the smaller ships. That's all I know. [00:07:09] Speaker B: I hear that a lot more often than I thought I would. I mean, people like, there is a group out there for the floating cities. But I do get a lot of smaller boat preferences, I think more. [00:07:26] Speaker A: The group also doesn't want to pay $4,000 for an interior guaranteed room. [00:07:31] Speaker B: No kidding. [00:07:31] Speaker A: Off my box. Now. [00:07:34] Speaker B: I completely agree with that, but. [00:07:38] Speaker D: You. [00:07:39] Speaker B: Know, we still sell them. [00:07:41] Speaker D: Yeah. [00:07:41] Speaker C: Yeah.

[00:09:47] Speaker A: No, I didn't put it in, but I do have this k pop. [00:09:51] Speaker D: Oh, no. We have it. We have it. [00:09:58] Speaker C: Yes. Love it. We are just a hot mess today. All right. Today each of us is going to tell you what we pack in our park bags. This is what we bring to the parks with us. This is our. We have to have these. Can't go without it. So there's a lot of different things, there's a lot of different scenarios. So I'm curious to see what everybody has. Some people have little kids, some people go solo. So I'm. I'm interested in this. So we are going to start out with Brooks. [00:10:40] Speaker D: All right, so. And this is what we're bringing to the parks with us next week while we're. While we are all in this together. [00:10:50] Speaker A: Um, so, step, did you see what he did there? [00:10:54] Speaker D: Yes. [00:10:55] Speaker A: I think she's the start of something new. [00:10:57] Speaker D: Yeah. You know what time it is? The time is now to celebrate being there. So my back has changed. It's changed slightly throughout the years. Uh, before Kelsey and I, we were going without kids. We were just packing for ourselves. Bag was a little lighter than what it is now. So, basically, packing for three. For three people. The one that requires the most stuff is the smallest one. Could she still in diapers? Like the Brady's bunt. Brady's bunch. The youngest one in curls. So our bag, we actually going to be trying out a new bag, and I have it here with me. This is a bag that I bought for work, and then also, it's going to be our park bag for this trip. It is a nomadic bag, and we should have links for all of this in the description. And then also, hopefully, on our Amazon storefront coming soon. So this bag is their navigator light, uh, 15 liter bag. It will. It can also expand to 21 liters. Uh, has a lot of room in it. Um, but what are we, uh, packing in that bag? Well, first of all, uh, we are going to be bringing our new camera, uh, with us. Uh, can't really show it right now, because I'm actually using it for this video. But we just got a Sony, a seven mark four camera with a 28 to 70 millimeter lens. We just got the camera, so we were not packing extra lenses with that. But we're also going to be bringing a little tripod and actually have that right here it is the Joby gorilla tripod. And what is nice about this tripod is you can actually change up the legs and wrap it around things so you can set it up. Say if. If you're an epcot and you're next to a rail, but you want to set it up for maybe a time, time lapse for the firework show, you can set that up and just let it go. Also, one thing that has been a lifesaver on all of our trips is a power bank. I am a big component for the anchor power banks. Those have been very useful for us. Also, we're going to be packing extra cords for charging our phones. We've actually met friends in the in lines for attractions, and their phone is about to die. Their kid is about to go nuts in the line and say, hey, use our power bank, use our cord, and get to talk to them for about 20 minutes. Strangely, always happens in journeying to your imagination with figmentous. So another thing that we. That is always a staple in my bags. I started using these whenever I start running anti chafe sticks. They are good for. I carry a couple. Some are good for a sensitive area. Some are good for your feet. Pretty much anywhere that can chafe. These are great for that. And plus, it comes in a stick, so it easily, it can be easily reapplied. Extra socks. It does rain quite a bit in Florida, so sometimes bringing an extra pair of socks can be a huge lifesaver, because there is nothing worse than getting blisters while in the parks. I have learned that from personal experience. Um, also, uh, we are big components for the emergency ponchos that you can get a little tip grab. Try to grab those before you get down in Florida. Around the parks, they're typically cheaper. And then also we bring a little hand sanitizer. And then for Ellie, we usually have a little spare outfit for her, baby wipes, diapers, a rain cover for the stroller, and also try to have a fan for the stroller as well, because it does get hot down there. And then also, one thing, another thing that has been a. That was a huge lifesaver for us last time. And we. We use these now. Anytime we go, we go out to eat or anything like that. Disposable table covers. And basically, it's just a placemat that has little sticky pads on the back. We put them down because Ellie can eat from a plate. She prefers to then take that plate, dump it on the table, and then eat it from the table. So we just put the food on the matae, she eats it, and then whenever she's done, she goes, all done. We take the mat up, ball it up, easy cleanup. [00:16:44] Speaker C: Um, that is brilliant. That's a brilliant idea. [00:16:48] Speaker D: That it, uh, we had someone, uh, I think we saw someone with that on our next to last trip that we took, and we're like, that is. That's brilliant. So we went and I got one for ourselves. We got for sell. So you can get a pack of 60 for fairly cheap. But that is. And usually we also Disney, you know, we have the power bank, but then we also usually have a backup fuel rod that we got several trips ago. And you can always exchange those and get a fresh one. Those are also rechargeable. So I have recharged mine as well. But, yeah, that's. We always had that for. That's our emergency backup, because with the power bank that we have, it, it holds a lot of juice. But when you. For if use your phone now, we're going to be charging this camera. It can drain your battery throughout the day pretty quick, so. And then also we have the magicband. Plus, if we forget to charge those, we have to charge those with the power bank as well. So that is it. That is it for our park bag for 2024. [00:18:13] Speaker A: You know, Brooks, I would have to say, you can call me Sharpay Evans because that's fabulous right there. [00:18:19] Speaker D: Yep. [00:18:20] Speaker A: I mean, it's a good. It's a good park. [00:18:24] Speaker C: Yeah. [00:18:24] Speaker A: I never, never would have thought of the table covers. Genius. [00:18:27] Speaker D: I mean. [00:18:27] Speaker A: Yeah, it's genius. [00:18:29] Speaker D: That idea brought me bop, bop, bop to the top. [00:18:33] Speaker A: You know what I wipes away my. [00:18:35] Speaker D: Inhibition, makes me struck my stuff. [00:18:39] Speaker A: It's honestly what I've been looking for. [00:18:42] Speaker D: Yeah. [00:18:44] Speaker A: It truly has. [00:18:45] Speaker D: I mean, steph, we're never going to stop because that's who I am. Never going to stop. That is the plan. [00:18:51] Speaker A: You just may have to go dead on it. [00:18:55] Speaker D: Step, what about us? What about everything we've been through? [00:19:01] Speaker C: All right. [00:19:02] Speaker D: I never wanted to hurt you. [00:19:07] Speaker C: Well, I think that for this one, I want to go last. So I'm going to move to Kelton. [00:19:14] Speaker D: Oh, I'll go. [00:19:15] Speaker A: Yeah. Okay. [00:19:15] Speaker C: Yeah. [00:19:16] Speaker A: So it's, so I've got, it's myself, my lovely wife, Casey, and my four year old son, Kenny. So pretty simple to start with. Amazon got these lovely. It's a two pack battery chargers, 15,000 mah. I don't know how to actually pronounce that. So, mah each. So I got 30,000 here, and it's got two of the USB plugs, one USB C, and for everybody else that chooses to be difficult in the world with an Android, you can charge that as well. And the fact that they're fast and they really are fast charging. So I really do like, it does take my phone maybe, maybe an hour to go from about 20% up to 100%. So it's really nice to have two of those. Like Brooks said, sometimes those magic band pluses don't last as long if you, you know, have the lights going off like I do. So they do tend to die pretty quick. On top of that, I, too, also have a phone tripod, you know, wrap it around there. And these were great when we were on our cruises for Royal Caribbean as well. And I've got one of these handy dandy. I'll try to show it, but I don't know if it'll work. But I gimbal ish. I do plan to bring. Because now that we've launched our YouTube channel, you know, I'm gonna try to get some. Some nice quality videos to put up of, like the, you know, maybe the dapper Dan's main street philharmonic, everything like that. Let me see here. Oh, gotta have your charge cables, no matter what. I mean, Amazon, you can find them for dirt, dirt cheap. I also carry either my heb or my Costco baby wipes, which are great for, you know, great for Kenny being four year old, four years old, or for me being 33. It's perfect, you know, quick cleanup, hand sanitizer, socks. And I'm even one of those crazy people because I refuse to pay $5 for a bottle of coke. So I will carry about three to four cans of either coke or doctor pepper in my backpack because I don't want to pay that much. I mean, you can just get a. You know, just get a cup of ice from any quick service or restaurant. I don't bring the cans. I don't open them up at a table service. But for quick service, I will. [00:22:02] Speaker D: You don't. You don't carry them in your cargo shorts? [00:22:05] Speaker A: No, I save those from. For my bush lattes. [00:22:09] Speaker D: Okay. [00:22:09] Speaker A: Except they never make it past security, so. Yeah, those have to stay at the resort pregame. Absolutely. So it was quick, and I do apologize. But, I mean, that's pretty much it for my part. And if you can see on YouTube, my pork bag is right here. It's a seven year old backpack, and it's kind of starting to, like, fray at the top where the zipper is. And I might have to. It might make one last Disney trip next week, and then it might have to be retired. I don't think it's gonna make it to September. So that's what I have. I'm going to assume that Jenny wanted to go last, so, steph, I hope you're ready, because you're up. [00:22:58] Speaker D: I just want to say I forgot one thing in my park bag real quick. So. Hydration is very important. It's very mindful, very demure. In the Disney parks. [00:23:13] Speaker A: No, captain. [00:23:14] Speaker D: Yeah. [00:23:15] Speaker A: Holy smokes. [00:23:17] Speaker D: So let him cook. [00:23:18] Speaker A: Let him cook. [00:23:19] Speaker D: That's right. Don't. Don't want to be sigma. I don't know. I'm 38 years old. I don't know the terminology, but. So. But with the gen Zers just recently purchased one, the Oala 32 ounce water bottles that we will be bringing with us to the parks, especially for Kelsey, because she needs to stay extra hydrated after all of her stuff. And Ellie prefers to drink from our cups instead of her cups, so gotta make sure everyone stays hydrated. So that was the one thing I forgot. [00:24:02] Speaker A: I think it's on to the childless millennial. I wish you were a Gen Z. [00:24:08] Speaker B: Or to be honest, I'm, like, the very last. I'm the very last of the millennials. [00:24:13] Speaker A: Oh, dear. [00:24:14] Speaker B: Yeah, yeah. So I'm on the border, but whatever. Just so a couple of things before you get to my list. Magic. Bam. Pluses, even if they aren't charged for it to, like, light up and vibrate in all the fun stuff during, like, the shows and the statues of. They're still usable for, like, getting your lightning lane or getting into your room. So just, like, in case you're not really familiar with magic bands, they're fantastic. If you go often to the parks, definitely something to have. But, you know, let's say they do end up, you know, losing charge. And you don't have a charger with you. You don't actually have to go buy one for it to be, you know, workable. So just putting that out there. Alright, so, yes, I will be considered the childless millennial. So my park bag is gonna look a lot different than all of y'alls. Actually, I wouldn't say a lot. I. There's essentials. So I do want to mention that if you do like, what you hear today and you're curious about any of the items we will be having most, if not all of these things on the mouse ears Amazon storefront for you to be able to go and purchase from there. And, you know, not only would that be beneficial for you to be able to get all of the park essentials, but also helps contribute to the mouse ears and keep the lights running on this place, which we all want. Right? Plug. So anyways, all right. My Disney park bag is. I've done solo trips, I've done girls trips, I've done family trips, and I do, you know, just a couples trip with me and Mike. And I feel like for the most part, my bag typically does stay the same. I do like a good lounge fly. I do believe that you can fit a lot in a lounge fly. Again, I don't have kids, so there are certain things, like a bottle, that I don't have to worry about. So for, like, adults only, this is honestly a great bag. It's comfortable. I do sometimes have, like, a side sashel, like a kipling bag that I sometimes use. But for the most part, I do like a good little backpack, not too big, especially because of security. So, with that being said, I'm going to start off with the obvious element, which is storms. It is pouring rain here today, guys. It has been awful. The thunder has been insane. The lightning's been like, constant. Traffic's been ridiculous. So what better way to start my packing list then, to remind people to pack a poncho and or a rain jacket? Yes. Just, yes. It doesn't matter if there's rain on the horizon or not. We do not trust the weather apps. We don't. You look outside, it looks beautiful, and then all of a sudden, 15 minutes later, you're having a monsoon outside. So no matter what, you're going to Florida, do yourself a favor and pack yourself a poncho. It could be a disposable one that you get from Walmart. I buy those. It doesn't matter. You just want something. You never know, and it doesn't have to take up so much space. So, like, I'll do a poncho if I am on this. If I'm airing on the side of, oh, it's probably not gonna rain, I'll do a poncho and a rain jacket if I'm like, it's going to rain, I'm gonna take every precaution. And with that in mind, I'll also, like Brooke said, pack an extra pair of socks. Nothing's worse than having wet socks. And even if your shoes get wet, which does suck, socks will produce blisters. And that's never fun. Speaking of blisters, blister band aids. Best thing ever. I think our friend Susan would definitely want me to say moleskine is definitely the way to go. So shout out to FTJ by Susan swope. Another thing for rainy weather, it is shoe covers. Yep, shoe covers exist. And I'm not talking about the ones that are, like, cloth material. I'm talking, like, zip up silicone to cover your shoes. Keep them protected. They're fantastic. I don't know if you've been seeing on social media this past week, it's been really, really rainy. I mean, it is the rainy season down here, but, I mean, it has been big puddles. We're, like, talking itty bitty puddles and lakes and every body of water at these parks. It's been crazy. So, you know, I always tell my clients, definitely pack at least two pairs of sneakers. But you don't. No one ever really wants to ruin their shoes. So if you want. And I recommend shoe covers anyways, I think that's about it for my. Oh, one more thing for in case the weather is wonky, be very particular with the phone case you bring. So, like, let's say you're going to the water park. If that's part of your itinerary, plan ahead, get yourself a waterproof phone case. A lot of these phones have some resistance if it's raining. But that being said, if it's coming down, get a practical phone case that'll help you. That'll be great for your trip. And even if it's not a water repellent phone case, you might still want a phone case that, for instance, has, like, a stand so that you can prop it on a trash can at Walt Disney World and take a group picture. If you're not going to, you know, the photopass service. [00:30:18] Speaker A: Hold on. [00:30:19] Speaker B: Little things to keep in mind. [00:30:20] Speaker A: Yes, trash cans are reserved strictly for eating off. [00:30:24] Speaker C: Exactly. [00:30:25] Speaker B: I don't disagree. But, like, what if you prop it while you're eating and you're doing like. [00:30:31] Speaker A: A, like, you're like, Margarita from Mexico. To take that picture. Perfect. [00:30:37] Speaker B: If you're doing, like, a food review, you just need to prop it. You can have a little iPhone case stand, and then at least you don't have to bother someone to actually hold the phone while you do this review. And you need someplace to put your. You see, I think about this genius. I think about this. It keeps me up at night. What ways can I help myself when I'm at the parks? [00:31:00] Speaker A: All we can say, just stick to the status quo. [00:31:04] Speaker C: Yes. [00:31:05] Speaker B: Yes. You're killing me. I don't know if it was a good thing or a bad thing that I said this. I'm not a fan of high school musical. [00:31:14] Speaker D: If you want to, want to be cool, follow one simple rule. No, stay dry. Yeah, I don't know. [00:31:23] Speaker B: Yes, Jen, what were you going to say? [00:31:25] Speaker C: I wanted to say, since we were talking about weather on one of our girls trips, there were five of us, and we all had our phones, and there were five different weather apps going on, and each app said something different. It was cloudy. We were trying to figure out if it was going to rain or nothing. So don't trust just one weather app. Just come prepared. Come prepared? Yes. [00:31:51] Speaker B: The moment you're not is when the worst is gonna happen. I swear. [00:31:54] Speaker C: And. [00:31:55] Speaker B: Yes, go ahead. [00:31:56] Speaker A: No, no, you could finish. [00:31:58] Speaker C: I was gonna say Disney and Kelton, you know, this being a, you know, a former cast member, too, but Disney walkways tend to have flash flooding, and you could be walking in water up to your knees. [00:32:11] Speaker A: I actually saw a photo of somebody standing in. I think it was about a foot and a half of water right there. Going to tomorrowland. [00:32:20] Speaker C: Mm hmm. [00:32:21] Speaker B: It was bad. It was bad. [00:32:23] Speaker A: So I completely forgot my other statement. [00:32:25] Speaker C: So sorry. [00:32:27] Speaker A: Move right along. [00:32:28] Speaker B: Did it have anything to do with the weather apps? [00:32:31] Speaker A: It did, yes, actually. Thank you very much. You're welcome. So somebody had told me, take it with a grain of salt, you know, two cent, that if you see that, it's going to, you know, there's a 20% chance of rain. That actually means that there is a 100% chance of rain for 20% of the area. I did not know that. [00:32:53] Speaker B: You know, I feel like that's absolutely true. [00:32:55] Speaker A: It just rains between three and six. That's just what it is. [00:32:59] Speaker B: It is. Yeah. Come 02:00 you're. You're seeing dark clouds. [00:33:03] Speaker C: Yeah. [00:33:04] Speaker B: So even if it's like ten in the morning, you're like, yes, yes, it is. And you'll have the wildest winds, too. So on that note, storms also bring humidity, people. It is always hot in Florida. And if it's not, that is a freak thing. Okay, listen to me. You will want cooling towel. Just. Just. Just take it. It does not take a lot of space, because if you don't want a neck fan, which I also recommend, and neck fans do, take up more space. Take the cooling towel. Why have a bad time when you're at Disney? It's unnecessary. You're at Disney. Just take the proper precautions. You'll have a fantastic time and a discussion. Take a cooling towel. Take a neck fan. You'll be happier. [00:33:59] Speaker D: That. That's. That's a good point, steph. You really got your head in the game. [00:34:04] Speaker A: You mentioned cooling towel, and it's like, that's what I've been looking for. [00:34:10] Speaker B: It's a ridiculous. Is this the. Is this the park bag episode or the high school musical episode? I don't even know anymore. The fact that you guys can quote as much as you can blows my mind. I can't. [00:34:22] Speaker D: You haven't noticed my background? [00:34:25] Speaker B: No, I haven't. I'm focused on my notes. [00:34:33] Speaker C: Can we recreate that while we're there? Can we recreate that photo? [00:34:38] Speaker B: You're not helping. [00:34:39] Speaker C: Whose side are you on? I love high school musical. [00:34:44] Speaker A: You just have to remember that we are all in this together, and I think Jen should finish it out for us. [00:34:50] Speaker B: I am clearly the minority. I am not even close to finishing my freaking list. [00:34:55] Speaker A: Guys, there's more. [00:34:57] Speaker D: Oh, what do you. [00:34:58] Speaker B: I've said four things. I've talked about storms. That's all I've gotten. Let me finish, please. You see, you're not in this with me, okay? We're not in this together. Y'all are attacking me. All right, moving on. I'll try and be faster. [00:35:18] Speaker D: I mean, you probably don't dance. [00:35:23] Speaker B: I'm gonna. All right, all right, all right. Serious mode. Okay. Hand sanitizer and or wet wipes. [00:35:39] Speaker C: Yes. [00:35:40] Speaker B: You just always need it. You never know when you're gonna have a snack. You never know when you're gonna handle food. You're always touching something, whether it's merch, a ride, a whatever. So even. Even your backpack. You set your backpack down on the ground. On rides, just have hand sanitizer and wet wipes. Just do yourself a favor and pro tip. [00:36:07] Speaker C: Do not touch the handrails. Don't touch the handrails. Don't touch the handrails. If you don't want to get sick, don't touch the handrails. [00:36:15] Speaker B: Please stand clear of the handrails from the handrails. That needs to be a sticker. Okay. All right. Water bottle. We've talked about this. We all bring our own water bottles. There's no reason to drink Dasani water. Just don't do it. But water bottles. What? I want to say something that I make sure I always do when I do take my water bottle, I would bring a water bottle with a handle that I can hold. I don't stuff my water bottle in my bag. I have a water bottle that I can fill up with ice. So, like, say, a Stanley cup or a yeti. Maybe not as heavy, but ideally something that will hold ice all day long. You want cold water, at least? I drink cold water, and those people out there don't drink it with ice, but whatever. Have one with a handle. You'll be happier to carry it on your hand and on your back. Chafing stick. Brooks mentioned that earlier. I'm a strong believer of chafing stick. They have some for feet, they have some for thighs. They have some for arms. They have some for everywhere. Those are great sunblock. This is Florida, people. Mucho, mucho sol. [00:37:29] Speaker D: How did the redhead forget to mention sunblock? I literally keep it in the center console of my car for when I drive. [00:37:41] Speaker B: So for you, you need to bring aloe, because if you go to the water park or you forget sunblock or you forget to reapply, you will want some aloe or some lotion, which pro. [00:37:53] Speaker D: Tip with the aloe, put it in the fridge, and it feels muy bueno. Dad pronounced that right, Steph. [00:38:01] Speaker B: You did. [00:38:02] Speaker D: I don't want to make you. I don't want to make you scream or anything. [00:38:05] Speaker B: No, no, no. Some block. It could be either lotion or a stick. Whatever is easiest. I'm just. I'm just going to keep going, guys. I'm just going to keep going. [00:38:18] Speaker A: I tried to use that song title for like, ten minutes. [00:38:23] Speaker D: I mean, come on, steph. It's now or never. [00:38:35] Speaker B: I have nothing else to say. Trying to keep this g over here. Oh, lord. Chapstick or lip gloss? Chapstick or lip gloss. They don't take a lot of space. I like to have lip gloss. I'll just reapply before my picture with Mickey. Chapstick. I mean, honestly, it's. You can get dehydrated. Those are great to have. Portable charger. We did mention them. When you bring a portable charger, make sure you also bring a cable and a cube sometimes if you, you know, in case you ever have the opportunity to plug it into wall somewhere. Yes, the opportunities arise. And yes, there are places to charge them throughout Walt Disney World. Furthermore, I'm a. I'm a fan of the solar charger only because, like, for, you know, gosh forbid I forget to charge it or whatever, I just hook it onto the top of my backpack and it's literally charging all day long. I've gone to the parks to work, like, literally with my computer or my iPad. And if I forget my charge, my computer charger, I have my portable charger. It's a little bit bigger and I'm able to hold some sort of a charge on my computer. So that being said, when I go through security, if I do have my portable charger, and it's not the only portable charger I suggest, it's just the one that I typically grab because it's the most reliable for me. But fuel rods are fantastic, especially so you can swap them out for free at the parks. But these portable chargers that are solar powered, I actually take them out of my bag and make sure I hold them out in front of me when I go through security so I don't get dinged. I've been dinged plenty of times, so I know what to take out mentioned, but doesn't hurt to say again, magic band. Just, you know, magic band. And if you don't have it, you solve your phone. But, you know, Apple Watch, it's not something I have in my bag, but I love my Apple Watch. If you're a Fitbit user or something else. I love closing my rings at Disney. I mean, I feel like I'm getting an exercise in. There you go, Jen, you've got something. I don't know which one it is. Samsung, right? [00:40:50] Speaker C: I have the Samsung. [00:40:52] Speaker B: Samsung. But they're fun. I mean, honestly, like, I just, I really do enjoy closing my rings at Disney because I don't. At home, I'm sitting at my desk all day long. Ziploc bags. Ziploc bags are good for just about anything, honestly. If you want to take a little snack with you or let's say it is going to rain and there's anything that you don't want to get wet. If your socks get wet and you have nowhere to put them and you try to change them out, you put them in the Ziploc bag. So I always have like, two snack pack Ziploc bags that are just stuffed in my bag. You never know. Even if it's like, hey, I'm going to get a pressed coin. I like these. Well, I don't want pressed coins just dangling around in my bag. And I'm not going to carry my pressed coin, um, little pocket folder thing. I don't know what it's called. [00:41:43] Speaker A: So with your socks? [00:41:45] Speaker B: Well, I'm just saying I pack a few ziploc bags, so sometimes I'll just, I'll have my dedicated Ziplock bag where I'm going to put, you know, press coins or medallion. Like, they always come in handy, I'm telling you. So ziploc bags, they don't take any space at all. Sunglasses or prescription glasses. I have my sunglasses for the day, and I got my prescription glasses at night so I can watch the shows and actually see them. Pro tip. Do not take a glass case with any kind of metal. Like, if they have like a metal spring, don't take those. Take plastic ones or like a leather one. Because if they have any kind of metal, it will set off the sick, the alarms at the security checkpoints. Okay. Plus, if they're softer, they take up less space and they're easier to kind of stuff in there. I mentioned the moleskins, but band aids and blister band aids always get to have a few. You never know. Yes, there are first aid kits, but if you need an emergency right then and there, you want to walk halfway through the park to go get them, keep some handy. This is probably obvious, but sometimes you forget Disney gift cards, obviously your wallet. But make sure you have a couple of, like, single bills. Single bills can be for press coins or something that you might not get. You need exact change for. And Disney gift cards. We all have them, and we always forget them. Maybe you see a nice, you know, pair of ears that you like, and you're like, you know what? I don't want to spend all that money. Bing, bing, bing, bing, bing. I got a gift card. Girl, math. You don't. You don't swipe the credit card. It don't count. Pen or a sharpie? That also doesn't take a lot of space. Why would I need a pen or a sharpie? Well, people, we go out to eat. You need to sign a check, Bill, whatever. Sometimes they have working pen. Sometimes they don't. Sometimes, like me with, like, the maps. I'll make notes of something. Like, for food and wine, I get the little food in wine passport, and I like to rate the food that I eat, and I'll just make annotations. And you never know when you need a pen, honestly. Same with a sharpie. Hey, I'm getting a character meet and greet with Maleficent. Well, I want Maleficent to sign my backpack or my hat or whatever. You never know. Doesn't take a lot of space. Pen or a sharpie. Always something good to have. Tylenol, people. We get headaches. There are days where we're just. Marathon, marathon, marathon. One day after we did not get enough sleep. We're tired. It's hot. It's sunny. Tylenol. Yeah. You should never go to the park without one of the travel you made. [00:44:42] Speaker D: Trip and fall over the railroad tracks. And you may be saying, hamakuna. Hamaking and waka khandhe. I mean, that's the sound, though, whenever I said mato. [00:45:02] Speaker B: Kelsey, don't film you freaking tripping in slow motion, though. [00:45:13] Speaker D: What do you mean? Stage that? That'll probably happen. So I'm the one that. That hurt my knee playing putt putt on my honeymoon. [00:45:24] Speaker B: Oh, there's no saving you, Brooks. [00:45:28] Speaker D: No. [00:45:30] Speaker B: All right, I'm gonna keep going. I'm almost done. I promise. My. My women. Extra ponytails and. Or a hair clip. It's hot in Florida. You want to take a cute picture, keep extra ponytails? Heck, yes, I do. You never know when a ponytail is gonna rip, break, or anything. And if your hair isn't naturally up already when you first walk into the park and you want it up after five minutes of sweating your balls off. Please. [00:45:58] Speaker A: Like the. You're talking about hair. You know, hair ties. You're talking hair. [00:46:02] Speaker B: Yes. [00:46:02] Speaker A: For all gentlemen out there, hair ties, hair clips. No ponytails. What you put your hair in. That's a ponytail. [00:46:11] Speaker B: I'm sorry. I've always called it a ponytail. I've heard hair bubble. I've heard hair bubble before. They say, yeah, hair bubble. It's what you put your hair in. So it's. [00:46:26] Speaker D: This could be a start of something new. You call me. [00:46:29] Speaker B: I will never finish at this rate. You guys, this is ridiculous. [00:46:34] Speaker D: Steph, don't walk away. [00:46:36] Speaker A: No, this is high school musical. [00:46:39] Speaker C: Disney park bag. High school musical version, I think. [00:46:46] Speaker B: Gosh, this is ridiculous. This is more torture than the movies. [00:46:52] Speaker A: This is quell. [00:46:53] Speaker B: I can't. I'm going to give up on this list, guys. [00:46:58] Speaker D: Walk away. We're breaking free of this. Continue. [00:47:10] Speaker B: I just want to say my list. All right, last few things. Carabiner. Why would you want a carabiner? There is always a use for a carabiner. You know what you can use with your carabiner? Let's say you do some shopping. Let's say whatever you shop for doesn't fit in your bag. Well, if you have a little carabiner, you can hook it off to the side of your backpack. So it's kind of just swinging, but you don't have to hold it. It's fantastic. Oh, Michael made sure to put this one on my list. Phone, memory stick, aka, like, a usb drive. Let's say you take a lot of pictures and videos like me. Well, maybe you run out of space while you're at Disneyland in the middle of watching fantasmic, and you've never seen it before, and you're just like, crap. I now have to delete 500 pictures so that I can finish watching this show. Yes, that happened to me. Take a memory stick if you're planning on taking a lot of pictures and videos or clear your memory before you go on your trip. You never know. It's good to have something so you can just dump all your pictures in and continue moving forward. So that pretty much does cover my, like, base for my park bag. There are some extras. Nope, nope, nope. Do not interrupt. Do not hold it in. So a couple of things that over. Over the years, I've been able to either a suggest to clients, family members, friends, you name it. Motion sickness medication. Just. It speaks for itself, right? There's plenty of rides that people are too sensitive for, but you want to still experience the magic with your friends or family. Motion sickness meds. Or there are motion sickness bands. Toms, people. A lot of this food is fried, especially fruity. Wine. Yeah. A lot of these foods, you might get a little bit of a tummy ache after a while. Especially if you're just, you want to go around the world multiple times like I do. [00:49:23] Speaker D: Especially if you're not twenties like some people. [00:49:28] Speaker B: I'm still in my twenties and I still can handle it. So a little travel tums. Those are helpful. Autograph book. Those are always fun. Those don't take a lot of space. That's where your penitent and sharpie from earlier also come in handy. A pin lanyard with extra pin backings. Pin lanyard. If you are someone who's a pin collector and want to carry that around, don't forget that. And always, always, always make sure you purchase outside of Disney extra pin backings because you're wearing them. Sometimes they fall out. It's just a good to have and then not pay pretty premium prices for that. Hat and ears holder. People. If you're wearing a hat or you're wearing ears, you have to take them on and off. Thank you, Jen. You take them on and off constantly for rides. If you have a holder that you can attach to your backpack. Thank you, Jen, for the demonstration. People, get on YouTube. Get on YouTube. I love those ears, by the way. That's awesome. Those come super, super, super handy. Especially if it's raining, especially if it's windy. Phone stabilizer. You guys were talking about tripod. I'll take like a little phone gimbal to try and take smoother videos. Although I'll be honest, sometimes I do get tired of holding them. But I do put those in my bag from time to time when I know I want to take special or specific content. Makeup bag. I mentioned lip gloss earlier, but if I'm not trying, you know, if I want to be dolled up for the day, I make sure to pack my makeup essentials. You will. I will sweat within the first five minutes of stepping outside of my room. So having a makeup to reapply, just like my sunblock, important. I'll pack that from time to time. I mentioned snacks earlier, is, you know, not everyone wants to eat around the world or spend all their money. You know, sometimes you just need a little granola bar or something. Those are good to have. I know Mike loves his complete protein cookies. I don't know if you guys are familiar with those last two things. Febreze derinkler spray. So, so helpful. Yes. Do the Disney, the rooms at Disney have flat iron? They do. Maybe you just don't want to deal with it. I know that this is something that I specifically bought for the Disney cruise line, like, for cruising in general, because they don't have that there flat irons. I mean, but you just take it. It's a little bottle. You spray on your clothes, you wipe your hand over it. Boom. Now you've got derinkled clothes. Super convenient and great for travel. Last thing is a tied to go stick. We all have messes from time to time. And the moment you wear your white clothing is the moment you will get something on it. So take a tie stick to go. They don't take a lot of space. And they also have little wipes, too, if you want something even smaller than the tiny little stick. Those are just. And I'm not a mom, but had plenty of stuff happen to me. And that now is the conclusion of my Disney park packing bag or my Disney park bag and what I pack in it. [00:52:50] Speaker C: I love it. [00:52:52] Speaker B: Thank you. It was thorough. Thank you. Thank you. Sorry it was so long, but that's okay. [00:52:58] Speaker A: We had a bunch of interruptions. [00:53:00] Speaker D: Yeah. What I was, what I was going to say, hopefully Mike brings some stickers for people to put in your park bag to give out. [00:53:08] Speaker B: Oh, those have already been packed, my dear. Already packed. [00:53:12] Speaker C: Yeah. [00:53:13] Speaker D: And then for sticky Mike and the boys. And we could say the boys are back. [00:53:19] Speaker A: Yes. Check another one off the song titles. [00:53:21] Speaker D: I have 32 songs to get through, and I think I've always got through. [00:53:27] Speaker B: I feel attacked. I feel personally attacked today. I mean, it's fine. We all go through it. I need a drink. I need a drink. [00:53:36] Speaker D: Kelton, you are the music in me. [00:53:38] Speaker A: I knew it. [00:53:40] Speaker C: I was waiting for that one. [00:53:44] Speaker A: This is really gonna be a night to remember. [00:53:47] Speaker D: Yes. [00:53:49] Speaker B: I'm out. [00:53:52] Speaker A: All right, Jenny, finish this off. [00:53:54] Speaker C: All right. [00:53:55] Speaker D: And then there was you and me. [00:54:00] Speaker C: First. Speaking of the stickers, if you want a sticker from us, we will be in epcot for food and wine festival on September 7. So find us. We'll be doing lives. You'll probably be able to figure out where we are because we all have our families, and it's going to be a very large group. There's more FTJ agents that are going to be with us. So just look for a big traveling group of goofballs. I mean, that's. That's basically what it's going to be. Okay. [00:54:33] Speaker B: A massive train wreck. [00:54:35] Speaker C: It's gonna be so much fun. I can't wait. I'm so excited. All right. I am a fan of the lounge fly. So this is my, my everyday go to that. My secret pal. Elise got me. Elise was my secret pal last year, and she got it, and I'm so excited, and I love it. However, I got this last year for food and wine festival. This is the 2023 food and wine festival bag. So this one shall be going with us. She's very special. We're very careful with her. She's very special. Okay. So for me, and I don't think anybody really talked about it, I do not take my full wallet into the park. I have a card holder. I take my id, and I take a credit card and a little bit of cash, because you just never know if their systems are going to go down. And a gift card or whatever, there's. It's very small, and so that saves a lot of room in my bag, because when I go through my list, you'll be like, how the heck does she get all of that in there? Okay, so my id, credit card, and a little card holder. I do not take my full wallet. Okay. Normally I have my glasses and my sunglasses, but I just got these, and they are the transition lenses, and I'm still trying to get used to them. So we're going to see how they do in Florida so that I don't have to have that. But normally, sunglasses, even for your littles. Now, this is what I do for my bag. My kids are grown. They have their own bags, so I'm not packing everything for them. However, there's a little bit of a variance on that, so I'll get to that in a little bit. Sunscreen. My youngest is a redhead, so sunscreen is in all of our park bags. Yes. Hand sanitizer. My biggest rule at the parks with my family, if you ask them, what is mom's biggest rule? Oh, you don't touch the handrails. Don't let me catch you touching the handrails on anything. There will be immediate hand sanitizer. Everyone line up. Put your hands out. And I'm going down the line. I am not getting sick. You gotta just think about it. I've seen kids lick those things. Like, please don't. Just don't, don't. Okay. People sit there, sweaty bums on them. Just don't, don't. Okay, off on that. Like, Stephanie, I also do lip gloss. The Florida sun. Do not. If you haven't, if you don't go often, or even if you do, the Florida sun is nothing to play around with. So make sure that you have some type of lip gloss or chapstick or something. Okay? My charger, I bring a cord. I bring a base that I can plug in. And then like everybody else, I have the phone banks and I actually have the same ones that Kelton has. And I love them. Love them. Sometimes we'll bring a fuel rod just in case. If we have, you know, all of us or all five of us are going, I bring a fuel rod just so I can change it out really quick if I need to. So that's good. And then I thought that I had it over here, but I don't see where I put. I do so. See, it's so little. This is a poncho with a sticker on it. But this is a poncho. It's an emergency poncho. I may have found this one on the floor. Animal kingdom by the lockers. I did sanitize it because, you know, but it's in the wrapper. So bring an extra poncho. You never know. [00:58:51] Speaker B: Those are available at Walmart or dollar tree. [00:58:56] Speaker C: The dollar tree. But it was like a sign from God. Okay. Because I was. It was looking like it was gonna rain. And I'm like, I don't have another poncho. And then there it was. This one's special. Anyway, moving on. Okay. Steph said a pin and a sharpie. Definitely both of those. So that you can get autographs and sign things and fill out whatever. We also bring a little nail file because you never know if someone's going to get something caught. And so we bring a nail file. Not a metal one. Not a metal one. Don't be bringing metal ones in there. No Emery board kind of things like it. A little nail file. We also bring the little travel toothbrushes. So. Because you're eating a lot. And if. [00:59:55] Speaker B: Yes, I totally forgot. I can never, ever, ever go to the parks without gum. Ever. Yeah, so I forgot to mention that. But Jen, sorry to interrupt. Thank you for letting me interject. [01:00:10] Speaker C: Yes. We also have gum. Disney does not sell gum on property, so if you want gum, you have to bring it yourself. Okay. Like, Stephanie, this must be a girl thing. We are loaded with ponytail holders or whatever it is we're going to. Also a water bottle. Okay. The chafing stick. I also bring a cooling towel and a travel fan and ziploc bags. We just bought another 200 ponytail holders. Hair bubbles, whatever you want to call them. We just got a bunch off Amazon. [01:01:07] Speaker B: I'm glad you mentioned ziplocs, too. And the ponytails. And I'm not alone. Yeah. [01:01:13] Speaker C: So who do we get that from? Sarah Allen. FTJ by Sarah Allen. We took pizza home from Italy. Um, in a, in a big ziploc bag. [01:01:24] Speaker B: Yeah, look at that. So she also, since we're on the topic, and this is just not for your park bag, unless you have children, potentially she is one that will buy sponges, cut them into little squares, load them up with soap, let them dry, puts them in ziploc bag, and takes those with her to her trip so that she can wash her water bottle from the hotel sink every evening. Amazing. Just like, so brilliant to keep it clean, sanitize and everything after park day. Not a park bag thing, unless you want to clean at the parks, but still brilliant. Shout out to FTJ by Sarah Allen. [01:02:08] Speaker C: Yep. When I am traveling with Susan Swope, I do not bring band aids because that girl has a whole thing full of. She has, like, one of these full of moleskine, and she's got you covered. However, when I'm not with her, I do travel with a little, like, first aid kit from the dollar tree. It just has band aids and a bunch of little stuff in it. Ears, ear holder, and then for the phone, some kind of gimbal stabilizer. Just something. If you're going to be taking a lot of it. Doesn't go on every trip. Should be going on this one. All right. And steph, you had kind of touched on it. I have. I don't have it with me, but I have a little holder that holds six different medications. And so in that we have excellent Tylenol, Advil, pepcid, Benadryl, and what was the end? Bromine or bromine? Bromine. It's an anti let's not get sick on everything. So that's. I have that, and it's just a little med holder. Also, talking about hydration, I take the LMNT electrolyte powders that I can put in a water bottle in case I need it. [01:03:41] Speaker B: So also brilliant for food and wine. [01:03:44] Speaker C: Yes. [01:03:45] Speaker B: Just saying. Like a liquid iv or something good to have food and wine fill in the blank. [01:03:51] Speaker C: Yep. I have to be really, really careful in the heat, so that's what I do now. Also, extra socks. Who said extra socks? Extra socks, please. Extra socks. Even if you're wearing, like, flip flops or something. If you're all wet and you get on the bus, those buses are usually freezing, you're going to want to put socks on. Okay? So please take a pair of extra socks. Now, on some trips, I also, like, just do a phone sling with a little thing with our. It just depends on what we're doing. But this is what's normally in my bag. Now, that is a lot of stuff. And if you have a lounge fly, you know that everything falls to the bottom of the bag, and then you're trying to dig everything out. I have a bunch of zipper pouches, and everything in my bag is organized into the zipper pouches. So when I need something, I can just pull the pouch out. So, pro tip, if you have a lounge fly, get some little zipper pouches. [01:05:01] Speaker A: That's genius right there. [01:05:03] Speaker C: Yep. So that's. That's my lifesaver there. Now I'm going to tell a quick story. We're going to talk about Steve. We're going to talk about Steve. And I wish Amelia was here to chime in on this, but. So my kids are grown, and when they got old enough to not need a stroller, I realized I then had to carry everything. I don't like carrying everything. So we would get, like, a little umbrella stroller that has a little. Just a little tray and the bottom of it. We had one named Steve. We named him Steve. I don't know why my husband and kids picked that name, but we had Steve. And on the back of Steve, we have. And this is only for our family trips. So on the back of it, we have a shoe organizer that we use for cups that we put all of our cups in. So we just zip tie it, you know, cut it down to size, zip tie it, and put it in there. It's helpful. We have an extra poncho just for Steve. Okay. Because you got to take care of Steve because all your stuff is there. We also have a soft sided lunchbox cooler kind of thing. You can't take a hard sided cooler into Disney, but you can take a soft sided. We have tons of food allergies, so we usually have snacks in there, and it fits right into the seat. So that's Steve. And a funny story about Steve is that one night we were leaving fantasmic, and my husband and kids thought that it would be hysterical to look for Steve by calling his name in the stroller area because they moved the stroller. There were several guests who were very upset and concerned that we had possibly lost our child Steve. So I'm trying to explain to this poor. This one lady, she was just, oh, God bless her. She's like, I think they lost somebody. Like, no, it's just our stroller. We're just looking for our stroller. There's somebody in the stroller now. It's just. [01:07:33] Speaker B: Just. [01:07:33] Speaker C: It's just. Can we stop, please? So we have a new stroller. If you come and meet us, you'll be able to meet little Miss Mini Marie. [01:07:42] Speaker D: And I was hoping Steve, too. [01:07:45] Speaker C: Well. [01:07:46] Speaker D: Or Johnny five. [01:07:48] Speaker C: Well. Well, it's pink, so. And it has many. [01:07:51] Speaker A: Could be a Barbara. [01:07:53] Speaker C: Yeah, well, yeah, we could do Barbara. I don't know. My kids and my husband named the stroller, so. [01:08:00] Speaker D: Gertie. [01:08:02] Speaker C: And what we do with that, we don't. We don't push it everywhere with us. We kind of. I'm very big on not going back and forth across the parks, and I stress that to my clients, because you will wear yourself out. We park it in whatever land we happen to be in, and then we go back and get it when we're done with that land. [01:08:23] Speaker A: Steve by himself did. I did. Oh, my goodness. [01:08:28] Speaker B: I am a stroller daycare. [01:08:31] Speaker A: What kind of parents are you? [01:08:34] Speaker C: Stroller abuse. And then we lost him because they move strollers. [01:08:40] Speaker A: Oh, poor Steve. Rest in peace. [01:08:43] Speaker B: Oh, Steve. Honestly, that's, like, the biggest pro tip for anyone who has, like, any kind of back pain. Doesn't want to carry a backpack, because I feel like unless you're really just popping in for, like, dinner or for, like, a single rider, like, just the nighttime show, you're never going to go to the park without something. Seriously. So. [01:09:07] Speaker A: So what you're saying is just buy your own Steve and name it. [01:09:12] Speaker B: Buy a Steve. [01:09:15] Speaker D: That's what I've been looking for. [01:09:20] Speaker B: I'm going to text Michael right now. We need a sticker that says buy a Steve and a stroller on it. [01:09:25] Speaker C: What? [01:09:27] Speaker A: Michael's gonna have no idea. He's gonna watch this and go, what is wrong with the four of you? [01:09:34] Speaker D: Okay, just Mike. [01:09:35] Speaker B: He's so excited to meet you guys. [01:09:37] Speaker D: Does Mike have the same view on high school musical as you? [01:09:42] Speaker B: He does, yes. Probably pure, pure hatred at that point. He is not a fan, but he does love Zac Efron. He does love Zac Efron, but that's about as it. That's as far as it goes. [01:09:56] Speaker D: So never. [01:09:58] Speaker A: It's now or never. [01:10:01] Speaker C: So we all happen to. [01:10:02] Speaker D: I think I've gotten all 32 somewhere. [01:10:06] Speaker C: That wouldn't be good for you guys. I'm just. [01:10:10] Speaker B: Oh, no, my. You will scare Michael away, and I will somehow just disappear into the wall. [01:10:18] Speaker C: Okay, so fair warning, we sing a lot in the parks. I'm just saying. [01:10:27] Speaker A: That may not be what I'm looking for. [01:10:31] Speaker B: I can't say that I sing, but I will dance. I'll just randomly break out into, like, a nice, little happy dance jingle type thing like, oh, this is a good. This is a good snack. [01:10:43] Speaker D: See, steph, I thought you said I don't dance. But you hit it out of the park. [01:10:49] Speaker B: Oh, my God. No, you got it. You got me again. I cannot believe this. I cannot believe this. This is the roast of the century. [01:11:01] Speaker D: Okay, steph, you. You had said earlier today in our group text, we need more weird in our video. [01:11:07] Speaker B: This is true. This is true, Brooks. [01:11:10] Speaker A: And I'm still getting rose on my silver platter with the gray stuff of the weirdness. [01:11:19] Speaker D: And watch this get five views. [01:11:21] Speaker B: This will make for some great bloopers. [01:11:23] Speaker A: But really, I am gonna. What? I meet Mike, that, yeah. I'm just gonna look at him and go, you know, shake. Shake his hand. A firm, like, strong, manly grip. You know, Mike, this could be the start of something new. [01:11:37] Speaker B: It'll go over it. He can quote. He can quote any movie. Like, he's unbelievably good about that. You'll lose him in high school musical. You and you guys are very good at quoting stuff. He'll be on par with you guys because for me, I it. I don't have that skilled. Y'all have that skill. So I'll just, I'll look at you. [01:11:59] Speaker D: And I'll be like, so Kelsey says that my brother Jacob and I, if you haven't listened to the episode from season two, a tale of two brothers, go listen to that. But Kelsey says, my brother and I, we speak in movie quotes and tv quotes. [01:12:18] Speaker C: That's how we are, too. [01:12:19] Speaker D: So I will at least once a week, I quote heavy weights. [01:12:27] Speaker A: So I haven't seen that movie in so long. [01:12:30] Speaker D: About once a week, I'm feeling skinny. Tony pops in my head. [01:12:39] Speaker A: So. [01:12:39] Speaker D: But we have to use the body system in the parks. Body. [01:12:45] Speaker A: Jen, is that it for your listen? [01:12:47] Speaker C: That is it for my list and for Steve. [01:12:55] Speaker A: All of our poor listeners out there are probably going, oh, my gosh, when is this train wreck going to end? Well, I think I have what you're looking for, and we're going to give you the trivia and the trivia answer here again. And if you don't remember from an hour and about seven minutes ago, we had given a trivia question of actually located in Utah, what high school served as the main setting of the 2006 hit Absolute Bomb? No cap, Disney Channel original movie classic musical. Does anybody know East High. East High would be correct. East High over in Utah. [01:13:47] Speaker B: What inspired this question to begin with? [01:13:51] Speaker A: I spent 20 minutes looking for a trivia question, and as I'm scrolling through my 37th web page of trying to find a trivia question. I went between sandals, Universal, Disneyland, Disney. They were all too easy. I wanted to get something we haven't done yet. And then I stumbled upon the greatest thing since sliced bread. High school musical, absolute treasure, Troy Bolton. [01:14:28] Speaker B: The greatest bread. [01:14:31] Speaker A: Greatest thing since get out of here bread. And we will because I'm going to close it up right now here for us. [01:14:38] Speaker D: So, like every day. [01:14:43] Speaker A: And checking out the last one.
