Travel Gear

What we actually tell clients to pack.

No 47-item checklists. Just the handful of things that make each trip type noticeably smoother.

Disney Days

  • Portable phone charger (10,000mAh+) for all-day park use
  • Collapsible water bottles for refill stations
  • Rain ponchos — Florida afternoon storms are non-negotiable
  • Comfortable broken-in walking shoes, not new-out-of-the-box
  • Lightweight backpack with a padded strap for long park days

Cruise Cabin Life

  • Magnetic hooks for extra hanging space (cabin walls are metal)
  • Non-surge power strip for charging multiple devices
  • Motion sickness bands or medication, even for calm itineraries
  • A door magnet or marker to help kids find your cabin
  • Lanyard for your ship key card — you'll use it constantly

Resort & Beach

  • Reef-safe sunscreen, SPF 30+, reapplied more than you think
  • A dry bag for phones and cards near the pool or beach
  • Packing cubes to keep swimwear separate from clothes
  • Insulated water bottle for poolside hydration
  • A light cover-up for breezy resort restaurants
