What to Pack for Your Disney Cruise: 25 Top Suggestions

You’re going on a Disney Cruise! Yay!

That’s very exciting – but now you’ve got to figure out what to pack!

I’ve got my TOP 25 MUST-PACK suggestions all listed here for you, including a printable packing checklist. Plus, I go over it in detail in my video What to Pack for Your Disney Cruise:

So we all know about the basics: shirts, shorts, bathing suits, and passport, right? Those general items are included on my checklist, too – don’t worry! But there are some other things you maybe haven’t thought of yet that will make your cruise easier or even more fun.

As a disclaimer, I did not include any baby-specific items here. Babies need their own checklist because there is a lot that is specific to them – so that’s something we’ll go over soon on an entirely different post. Feel free to ask me questions in the meantime!

You can scroll through the list below, but I do recommend watching the video too since that’s where I explain why I added each item to the list, show you many of them, and tell you where you can find them.

So here we go: a list of the 25 Must-Pack Items, including quick links to where you can buy some of them.
