Check, check, check. Check! If you’re saying the words, or trotting dutifully behind the voice, you know the nervous excitement — a long-awaited Walt Disney World trip is rising like a Timon-and-Pumba sunrise. Stomachs flip. Grins widen to bursting. Animated birds sing to you.
You’re stuffing items in suitcases. You’re chowing down on a breakfast you barely swallow. You sip the last of the coffee — that’s it, we’re out the door. Car’s packed. Wheels are rolling. Tick-tick-tick, goes your blinker. You can picture the welcome sign, the palm trees, the first taste of Dole Whip — WAIT. Minnie, in the back, pipes up, “We forgot Donald.”
Let’s explore pixie-dusted tips and tricks for what you’ll need and what to skip as you count down days to your Walt Disney World adventures.
Disgust and Happy may argue a bit as you imagine your park days — sloths in front of you, or the opposite, podracers behind you. Whether you want to speed up or slow it down, here’s what to pack for any occasion at Walt Disney World.
If you’re worried about losing an item at the parks, never fear! Timon and Pumba are here. If you’re wary of trusting the duo, check out Walt Disney World’s Lost and Found page. You can fill out a form with a few questions, receive a claim number, and get an update about your lost items.
Of course, if you’re in the parks, there’s no need to fret. Make your way over to one of the Lost and Found stations in your respective park or resort:
What if we lose Donald (again)? In the event he’s not a shoe-in for the Lost Boys, you can visit Walt Disney World’s Guest Relations at any park. If you’re unsure what to do, politely ask a Cast Member, with a cheery, rounded name badge, for directions.
With that, have a magical day! And be sure to check for beaks (Donald’s) as well as noses, before you’re off to the magical lands afar!
