Tokyo Disney Resort packing list

Power bank (10,000 mAh or more)

Your phone battery drains faster than you expect in the park. Filming the nighttime Electrical Parade, buying Disney Premier Access (DPA) and checking wait times all add up. With one fully charged power bank, you can keep taking photos until the fireworks before closing.

Charging cable

Without the cable, a power bank cannot charge your phone. It is small and easy to forget, so pack it together with the power bank.

Phone shoulder strap

With your phone hanging from your shoulder, both hands stay free. You can clap along at Big Band Beat or eat popcorn, and take a photo right away without digging through your bag.

Card, e-money and a little cash

You can pay almost everywhere in the park without cash. But the Duffy & Friends capsule toy machines and the souvenir medal machines still use 100-yen coins. Keep a few coins in your pocket.

Folding seat cushion

If you sit on the ground to wait for a parade or show, a thin cushion makes it much easier. The ground gets very hot in summer and very cold in winter. The wait until showtime becomes much more comfortable.

Compact picnic sheet

Spread it out in a show viewing area and small children can sit calmly. It folds down to pocket size when you are not using it, so it does not take up space.

Wet wipes

Wipe sticky hands after a Mickey waffle or churros, or wipe down a bench seat. After your child touches a railing, you can wipe their hands before they eat popcorn.

Stroller rain cover & lock

A sudden shower can come in the 10 minutes or so you are on a ride. Strollers are parked in outdoor areas, so a rain cover keeps yours dry. It helps most on days when the weather looks uncertain.

Hip seat or simple baby carrier

Children often ask to be carried halfway through a 30-minute line. While the stroller is folded in line, a hip seat lets you hold your child with less strain on your back.

Your child's favorite snacks, individually wrapped

When your child starts to fuss in line, one favorite gummy or ramune candy often calms them down. Individually wrapped snacks keep hands clean and are easy to hand out in a long line.

Handheld fan with a cooling plate

Outdoor lines in midsummer have almost no breeze, even under a roof. Hold a fan with a Peltier cooling plate against your neck and you cool down right away.

100% sun-blocking folding parasol (sun and rain)

In the summer sun, even walking through World Bazaar is tiring. A parasol that blocks 100% of sunlight makes it feel a few degrees cooler. It works in rain too, so you can use it as an umbrella in a sudden shower.

PCM cooling neck ring

Freeze it and put it around your neck to keep cool in direct sun while you wait for a parade. It melts slowly, so it stays cold through a long wait in the heat.

Windbreaker or thick shawl

In fall, even if the day is warm, the sea wind turns cold after sunset. One windproof layer lets you enjoy the night shows and illuminations in comfort.

Compact warm blanket

On a fall evening, you slowly get cold while waiting on a bench for a show. A large blanket keeps the cold out. Put it over your shoulders and it works as a shawl too.

Rechargeable or stick-on hand warmers

Near closing time, the wind off Tokyo Bay gets very cold. With a warmer in your pocket, you can keep your hands warm until the last show.

Compact lap blanket

Waiting on a bench for a night show, the cold comes up from your feet. A lap blanket keeps it off. One that folds into a small pouch takes up almost no space.

Touchscreen gloves or arm warmers

With touchscreen gloves, you can check wait times on a winter night without taking them off. They protect your hands from the sea wind, and you can still take photos.

Packable light jacket

In spring, even on a day warm enough for short sleeves, the wind off Tokyo Bay turns cold quickly after sunset. A jacket that fits in a pocket keeps you comfortable at the night shows.

UV sunglasses or pollen glasses

Early spring brings stronger UV and more pollen. Sunglasses make waiting in line and walking around the park easier on bright days.

Rain poncho

An umbrella in a crowded line tends to bump into people around you. A poncho that covers you and your backpack keeps both hands free on a rainy park day.

Zip-lock freezer bags

They keep your phone and wallet dry in sudden rain. They are also handy for carrying half-eaten popcorn or a used mask. Pack a few and you will find many uses for them.
