Episode 58: What to Bring for a Day in a Disney Theme Park

Welcome to the latest episode of Mickey Marvel and More! On our show, we have discussed all kinds of tips and tricks to help with planning for, and executing a Disney theme park vacation, but it occurred to Laura and I that we've never really told you what we bring with us for a regular day at the park. So we thought that would be a really fun family chat idea. So Laura and I are going to sit down around the virtual table and let you know what's inside Laura's Loungefly, and what kind of cargo I carry in my cargo shorts. We still need to workshop that title. Either way, we are going to tell you what we bring for an average Disney theme park day so maybe it will help you with your planning. All of this, plus listener mail, and news from in and around the Disneyverse! So tune in and don’t miss out!
