You've booked your airline tickets to California, you've booked your hotel and bought your Disneyland tickets (our favorite agency is Get Away Today really an excellent deal!), all you need to do know is figure out what to pack for everyone. Here are some tips to help make it easier to pack.
1) Check the weather... Mornings in Anaheim are usually a bit overcast and misty leaving you feeling both cool and clammy. As the sun burns off the cool clouds the temperature will of course warm up. Summers usually reach the mid 80's. Winters are mid 60's.
2) What time you will be there will determine how many layers to bring... We always saty at the park from open to close. I dress the kids and I in long pants or shorts, t-shirts, very comfortable shoes (we love a Keens for their durability and comfort). Also make sure to bring a jacket... that cold moist air will definitely be back in the evening. Most lines for rides are shaded to some degree, but a hat is always nice to help prevent sunburns. Also inexpensive camping rain ponchos to avoid getting wet on Splash Mountain and for that unexpected rain shower.
3) Children... If you have them, you know you are likely to have some sort of accident. Dont make me tell you the story about my baby and her diaper incident! Extra clothing items worth packing for inside the park are:
-underwear, pants, and socks for your potty trainer
-onesie and change of out fit for the baby (a onesie will come in handy if the weather gets really warm)
-t-shirts for those messy eaters
-also pack some sandals or inexpensive tennies in your luggage in case your new walker loses a shoe.
I've always found that being over prepared for an out of town trip to Disneyland is far better than having to buy something in an expensive gift shop. Have fun!
