If Using Disney’s Magical Express, Make Sure You Have Sunscreen, Etc. in Carry On Bags (Disney World Tips – 25 of 365)

My favorite sunscreen, which is the perfect size for carry on luggage.

Using Disney’s Magical Express is a stress free way to get from the airport to your Disney World Resort hotel. They even get your luggage from the airport and take it right to your room for you! (Did I mention that it’s free as long as you’re staying at a Disney World Resort hotel?  How awesome is that?!)

Because of this, it can take a few hours to get your luggage. So if you plan on checking into your hotel room and then going right out to have fun – whether it’s at one of the parks, downtown Disney, your hotel pool, or anywhere else, make sure you have everything you need for the next few hours!

If you’re arriving during the day, that usually means remembering to put sunscreen in one of your carry on bags. Many brands (including the ThinkBaby/ThinkSport brand I use that is pictured above) are 3oz, which is the largest size liquid you can bring on the plane with you.

If there is anything else you’ll need, make sure you bring that on the plane with you as well. This could be baby food, or swimsuits if you plan on going swimming as soon as you arrive. Basically, if you know you’ll need something within 3-4 hours after you arrive, your safe bet is to bring it with you.

It’s a great trade off though. It’s awesome giving the airline your luggage in your home airport, and then not seeing it again until it’s in your room a few hours later!

Note: This is totally voluntary. If you really want your luggage with you, you won’t use the tags that Disney provides, and you’ll get your luggage at the Orlando airport and bring it on Disney’s Magical Express with you.
