What’s in our Disney backpack?

 What’s in our Disney backpack?

 
 

 
 
We have been traveling to Disney for more than 20 years and we have taken a backpack on every trip. Our backpack and the contents have changed over the years, but this is our current park packing list.

Water Bottle
A water bottle is great to have, it is hot in Florida, and hydration is usually the number one goal. Disney is installing more and more water bottle filling stations, and if you didn’t know you can get free ice water at most counter service locations. 
 
Pro tip: Small water backpacks are great for kids, it is great for hydration and it helps limit the number of drinks you will buy in the parks.
 
Portable charger
Portable chargers come in many forms these days, but they are a must-have when you are in the parks. The two major battery drains are the My Disney Experience App and the constant searching for a signal.
 
Hand sanitizer and extra facemask
With the current climate, the world is in, it never hurts to have some hand sanitizer readily available. An extra mask is a good thing as well, and they don’t take up that much space
 
Ponchos
Disney World was built on a swamp and it rains daily in Florida. Ponchos are easy to pack and lightweight. Pro Tip: Purchase these are the dollar store before you travel to save some money while in the parks.
 
Snacks
If your family is like ours, snacks can be a great equalizer. Small snacks like Chips, Granola Bars, and trail mix can all be handed out while you’re walking to your next ride or waiting in line. Disney will allow its guest to bring in food or drinks, just no alcohol, glass containers, or loose ice.

Let's Go There Soon

              Some new research shows that even the simple act of planning a vacation can boost your happiness and even increase your energy levels.   I was reading a recent survey , from researcher Michelle Gielan, showed that 97 percent of respondents reported having a trip planned makes them happier. Seventy-one percent of respondents felt greater levels of energy when they had a trip planned in the next six months.     I feel this research could not be more true. Having a trip on the books builds up your anticipation for that trip, it can give you the opportunity to tune out daily life's stresses for a moment when you think about your upcoming trip. It just gives you something to look forward too.    We have so much to do, explore, and experience in our own backyard and this has just the inspiration to help us plan your next trip. Let’s go there, soon

Our Adventure to the Yellowstone and Grand Tetons National Parks

Our Adventure to the Yellowstone and Grand Tetons National Parks   My family, like others this summer, had to revise our travel plans. After talking and doing some research and seeing some other travel posts on social media, we decided that it was a good time for us to head out west and explore the Teton Valley.   Summary of our 7-day adventure Day 1- Estes Park, Co. Day 2- Rocky Mountain National Park Day 3- Cody, Wyoming Day 4- Yellowstone National Park Day 5- Grand Tetons National Park Day 6- St. Mary's Glacier Day 7- Flight Home   So our adventure began by researching a good plan to see everything since we only had a week, we were going to need flights, rental car, hotels (we do not have a camper), and park access. We decided to fly into Denver, where we would stop at the Rocky Mountain National Park first. Then head to Yellowstone National Park, then to the Grand Tetons National Park and finish the trip back in Denver with a short trip to St. Mary's Glacier trail. It w
