What I brought for the kids at Disney
We brought our Zoe twin stroller for my 16 month old and 5 year old. Disney approved!

Each kid has their own color packing cubes! I packed by day and combined them for this trip (Magic Kingdom all together, backup outfits all together, DCA outfits in one) and it worked out great! I threw the backup outfits in a packing cube and kept i...

What I wore and brought to Disneyland
Rain ponchos for Tiana's! They came in handy and we gave them to the next riders after we were done instead of throwing them away! I had enough for my family and glad we had them! Also helpful to have in case it rains. They laid flat in the bottom of...

Logistics & Travel
Where we stayed and travel essentials for kids
We stayed at the Disneyland Resort which was so convenient (and fun!) to walk to the park each day! One extra perk that comes with the Disneyland Resort is you get a free lightning lane pass added to your account to skip the line at 1 ride during you...
Disneyland Resort
Baby slept in the Guava with a slumberpod in our hotel room. She ended up napping in the stroller so we didn't go back to the hotel during the day for naps this trip!
Lotus Everywhere Travel Crib - Guava Family
Our travel baby car seat. Light weight - I can lift with one hand. We use only for travel. Very inexpensive! Coming from a pilot wife who travels a lot!
Scenera NEXT - Cosco Kids
Travel car seat for our bigger kid (5 years old) also extremely light weight and inexpensive! Perfect for rental cars and through the airport. We check them with our bags.
Finale 2-in-1 Booster Car Seat - Cosco Kids
We flew from TX to Long Beach airport. There are a few airports in the area close to Disney but this worked for us this trip!
Long Beach Airport
Definitely worth the money to get the Lightning Lane pass at Disney! As soon as you are scanned into the park for the day, go ride your first ride, but on your way there make a reservation for another ride.
We were able to ride a ton of rides this way and not wait in line too long! The longest we waited all day was for Dumbo and that was 35 minutes!

Food
Some of my favorite food and tips at the park!
I enjoyed the Beef Birria Tacos from Cocina Cucamonga in DCA paired with a watermelon pineapple margarita! It's a bit of a walk to get the margarita, so mobile order the food then go walk and get the drink and come back and eat
Cocina Cucamonga Mexican Grill
Watermelon pineapple margarita from Bayside Brewers by the swings!
Disney California Adventure Park
Starbucks in Magic Kingdom is at Main Street Bakery. They do not do mobile order and the line was very long! But a great pick-me-up in the middle of the day.
To start the day, we did mobile order at the Downtown Disney Starbucks! One day they opened early so we were first in line since we rope dropped! The line gets long so definitely mobile order as soon as they open in the morning. The Downtown Disney S...
Disneyland Starbucks
Dole whip at the tiki room! They only did mobile order, so we had to order, go to the show and get it afterwards. If you plan ahead, mobile order so it's ready before the show!
