SPRING 2024 ✨ Packing for Disney World | Family Of Four | Carry On Only

[@laurenanderson5542]

My 8 year old enjoys watching your videos with me and she freaked when she found out you’d be there during our trip. 4 days and counting! Fingers crossed we bump into each other at the parks!

[@myrdawg]

Your editing, scripting, and screen presence has gotten so much better over time. I’m so impressed! Your channel is a joy to watch.

[@andreanielsen6513]

Instead of the collapsible hard bins, Dollar Tree sells cubes that are smaller than the like 12x12 for storage cubes that would be much lighter and flatter to pack. I use them on cruises to keep shoes organized

[@thepixiedustedmom]

Ah I'll have to check those out! Our dollar tree is so hit or miss.

[@rnguyen2516]

Hi Ashley, thank you for the helpful video! I do laundry on vacation, too! I will sometimes do that during the mid-day break. The laundry facilities are usually pretty empty during that time, too. It helps to not overpack, but I also think it’s easier to pack clean clothes for the trip home versus having to squeeze in dirty laundry. I didn’t know about those laundry sheets; how cool is that? I usually pack 2 Tide pods per day (just in case). I’ve actually worn a hole into a pair of flats and got another pair rained on that never dried. Both had to be thrown away! So I completely agree with having two pairs of tennis shoes for the park in case of a night torrential pour! I like to add goggles for older kids (mine are 7 and 10). I also love Imagine Ink or Uno for sitting and waiting for parades and fireworks. That is an item I always forget! Love the air travel tray cover! I like to use a carabiner to corral our Magic Bands and also our pony tail holders.

[@faithturner3240]

Just a plug for ponchos as we are a poncho family. We bought ponchos that are not disposable (not the trash bag material!). Which for us since we don't have a stroller anymore (teenagers now!) this works best for us. It'll go over whatever bag you have on, and still keeps you dry! These have been disney tested in DOWNPOURS! Our specific brand is not available on Amazon anymore, but there looks to be some good ones available with lots of good reviews.

[@mommy2cody6]

We did ponchos on this last trip in January and loved them! Even kept my backpack dry! Got ours on Amazon and they Even have a pouch the fold back into! Loved them!

[@FashionbyBrittany]

This is so so handy!!!!!!! I appreciate you! First time flying to Disney world with my 4 kids and I’m honestly going a little crazy thinking what else I need. This was exactly what I needed!!! Thank you so much! ❤❤❤

[@thepixiedustedmom]

You’ve got this, mama!! Thank you for watching! 🫶🏼

[@joannastearns4826]

I'm going on holiday in just over a week with a 3 year old and a newborn and most definitely a overpacker so grateful for your videos

[@carrieanderson5425]

This was SO helpful!!! I love the ‘arrival day go-bag’ idea. My husband & I are definitely ’be prepared for everything’ kind of people and that tends to mean we over pack 😅 I feel validated that we can do that w/o overpacking.

[@annabellegiraldo3189]

i just binge watched your last 2 videos on prepping/packing and am rapidly jotting down notes and adding things to my amazon cart lol. thank you again! 🧳

[@jeffemler9718]

Love your haircut. Love your content. I'm so Ready to go to Disney.👝🎒

[@kristenquartarone1792]

Love your videos!!!! SO HELPFUL with my kids!!! Questions: what size rain gear bag do you use from Amy’s shop? XL or L? What size is your mealtime bag? What size is your to-go med kit bag? Not the one with MEDS written on it. The one you take into the parks. Also, (haha so many specific questions) what size are your “busy bags” (the pencil cases) for the girls? Thank youuuuuuu!!!

[@kristenquartarone1792]

Also 🧳😎

[@thepixiedustedmom]

Thank you so much!! The rain bag is large, meal time is large, meds is small and the busy bags are one size I believe.

[@brianasipe6781]

Ashley you are brilliant! I love how to keep organized when things happen like seperate swim stuff and pjs incase bags are still at bell services! Thank you!

I love all of your videos but packing,tips ,hauls and prepping for Disney are the ones I enjoy the most🧳 I will go on vacation next month ( not to Disney ) and your videos help me a lot😊. Thank you and God bless you and your family💜

[@thepixiedustedmom]

Oh thank you so much!! I'm glad they help even beyond Disney. God bless you and yours as well!

[@SylviaHG87]

We will be going on our FIRST disney trip this summer. I sit here and watch and write down your best tips for me. We're a family of 4 as well with 2 boys. One is a 1-year-old, so his stuff will have to go in with brothers' things since he doesn't get a carry-on or personal item🙃. Need to plan real good and definitely no over packing.

[@thepixiedustedmom]

Oh you guys will have such a wonderful time!!

[@adrianaguerra6377]

I love how you can organize and plan everything with so much time. I am trying to work on this, but end up overpacking and waiting until the night before! Thanks for the tips! 🧳

[@thepixiedustedmom]

I feel that! I'm such a hot mess packing the night before.

[@tutuluvsminnie7129]

Great packing ideas on how to be ready-for-anything. Stuff will happen when taking little ones. We leave soon for 7 nights. I am not a rope drop to fireworks gal anymore. i like to keep the parks to half days. when i stay 7-9 days at DVC i don't pack an outfit for everyday but only for 4 or 5 days. We plan to re-use the clothes after we wash them. We wash during our vacation to allow us to re-wear clothes.

[@brittswift]

You’ve really taken your videos to the next level. Really enjoy them thank you !

🧳 I’m so excited to see how this trip goes!! I’ve decided to be strictly carry on and personal item with airplane travel for a while now and honestly it’s been so helpful for keeping me from overpacking! The only time I plan on bringing a full size checked bag will be for cruises.

Ahh must have missed that one! Here it is - amzn.to/3UW0lXQ

[@jessicachurch319]

You’ll definitely need the fans. I think the cold is over now, the days feel like summer again in the afternoon already. We’re local and we’ll be there at the same time you all will. I’m excited to be able to enjoy the pools though! The last few time we went the pool and splash pads were not an option. It was just too cold. We are planning on bringing a pair of pants/leggings each and a light sweatshirt for each of us but I don’t think we will use them, maybe at night. We’ll see. It’s been hot though man I feel like the cold didn’t last as long as it did last year. We even went at the end of January and it was legitimately hot during the day like I wanted to go back to the resort and change into a tank top. It also looks like the rain chance will stop on our first day there and it should be overcast/clear for the rest of the trip, so maybe we’ll buy lotto 😂

[@jenniferdarragh264]

(PS THAT COLAPSABLE DIAPER PALE, HANDS DOWN THE ULTIMATE BEST TIP but you DO give amazing tips!) love love love your channel! Btw last i was at Disney was last May for my bday and i was 6 months preggy, your tips helped me then too because my son was 1.5Y.. soooo happy our airbnb had 2 pack n plays up and down stairs.. i walked more than my sister in law could, and honestly owe that to my sketchers.. lol sorry for ranting! Love you and your family!

You can call mouse keeping to collect your trash on days they don’t clean. As a family of 5 We accumulate a TON of trash for and every night or during a midday break we would gather all the trash and just call and they will come grab it. Unfortunately that’s the only option as the rooms have the tiniest trash cans .

I really miss them doing housekeeping daily but maybe that will come back one day. Thanks for the tip!

When you back all carry one how do you go through the airport with it all especially if you have the stroller too? We are debating to do all carry ons or check a bag because we don’t know if we will have enough hands with a 2 year old and 8 months old with a stroller.

Have you ever had issues when packing in personal items and carry ons only with them saying your items were “to big” I once packed my carryon and because I had the extender zipper open they told me it was to large

[@cinderellasapron]

Hey Girl! So excited to see this video! 🧳 I am currently on the struggle bus with our luggage and trying to downsize. Quick question for you, how has your experience been with the mattresses on the pack and plays at Disney? I've heard horror stories that they dont have any/theyre super thin, so I was packing a travel mattress for our toddler to add to it. He's never slept in a pack and play so I want him to be comfortable, but I'm also thinking it might not be necessary? 🤷🏼‍♀️ Thanks once again for the amazing video! 💕

[@thepixiedustedmom]

Hey!! Okay so I've not found any of them any thinner than our pack and play at home or others I've seen in stores. You could also request a mini crib if available at the resort for something with a little bit thicker mattress. Hope that helps! :)

[@cinderellasapron]

Thank you so much!! That helps a ton. Some of the things I read made it sound like there was no mattress and they used sheets for cushion or something.( I had hoped that wasn't the case! 😂)I can't thank you enough for all of your amazing videos and tips! I feel so much more confident going into our toddlers first Disney trip thanks to you! Hope you have an amazing trip!! 💕💕
