Going on a Disney Cruise is a major bucket list item for many Disney fans.

We know we’ve been there before — we love cruising! However, packing for a cruise is very different than packing for a regular Disney vacation. Here are 15 essentials you CANNOT forget!

The most important thing for anyone prone to motion sickness, or anyone worried about motion sickness, is Bonine.

This is a non-drowsy motion sickness medicine that can be taken every 24 hours. It can help treat and prevent nausea, vomiting, motion sickness, cyber sickness, and dizziness.

Things can get windy on a Disney cruise, and if you’re like us and don’t want to just lay on a beach chair where other people have put their bodies (*shudder*) then you’ll want Beach Chair Towel Clips.

These are fantastic for keeping your towel in place while you’re lounging on the pool deck or at Castaway Cay.

Buy them here!

Looking for a fun way to make sure your luggage doesn’t get lost? Grab the Disney Cruise Luggage Tags.

These come in a pack of 4 that are named after four of the cruise ships — the Disney Magic, Dream, Wish, and Wonder.

A Cruise Lanyard is also an absolute essential!

This is great to keep your Key to the World card on you at all times (it allows you in and out of your room, among many other things). Trust us when we say you CANNOT lose this card, so keeping it on a lanyard is a great solution.

Sunscreen is also necessary no matter what time of year you’re traveling, and we love the Hawaiian Tropic Mineral Powder Sunscreen Brush.

This stick is only for your face and is 30 SPF. Trust us, PLEASE don’t forget sunscreen!

Purchase one here!

When you’re in the middle of the ocean, things are VERY wet (hence, the ocean). That’s why you need a Waterproof Wet Bag.

You can keep whatever you’d like in here, but we recommend important essentials that can’t get wet like cash, electronics, and snacks.

Buy yourself one here!

Fun fact: Most of the walls on cruise ships are magnetic! So if you want to customize your room a bit, grab the Custom Cruise Magnet.

There are COUNTLESS different options to choose from, and you can customize it in a number of different ways. Plus, you can keep it and it acts a souvenir!

And who can resist custom Minnie Ears specifically for cruises? Grab yourself a pair of the Cruise Minnie Ears!

These are much cheaper than ears you’ll find in the Disney parks or on the ship, and it just screams Disney cruise.

Buy a pair here!

Remember those magnetic walls we were talking about? You’ll also want some Magnetic Hooks!

There’s not THAT much room for storage inside your stateroom, but if you can hang some lanyards, hats, and commonly used items on these hooks, it’ll free up some space and keep things from getting lost.

Grab a pack here!

Speaking of organization, if you’re going on a longer cruise or rooming with a lot of people, an Over the Door Organizer is a necessity.

These are fantastic for storing hair products, makeup brushes, a purse, diapers, and whatever else can fit into these bins.

Grab one here!

Okay, this next one may be weird at first, but bear with us. If you’re staying on a longer cruise, you should grab some Pirate Head Bandanas and Eye Patches.

Why? Because Disney Cruises have Pirate Nights on many of their larger cruises, and while they’ll pass out bandanas to everyone, you may want to have a few more accessories.

Get a set here!

Even if you’re sailing in the middle of summer, things can get WINDY and COLD on those top decks, so a Full-Zip Fleece Jacket is necessary.

This is especially true when it gets dark at night and you’re walking around the ship.

Grab yourself one here!

Even if you’re not a Flip Flops person, you’ll want to have a pair for walking around on the beach and the wet decks of the ship.

Take it from one of our team members, who went on a cruise and only brought Converse…her shoes got super wet (and therefore her socks) and then SAND got in them — it wasn’t fun.

Buy some here!

And lastly, you need a quality Travel Tote that will carry everything you need.

Buy it here!

When you arrive at the terminal, a Disney Cast Member will take your bags to be brought to your stateroom. HOWEVER, you won’t see those bags again for several hours, so we suggest keeping a bag like this with you with all your essentials until you can get into your stateroom.

We’re always here to help you plan for your next Disney Cruise, so stay tuned to DFB!
