🧳 Hot take maybe, but I LOVE Disney in winter. I love being able to wear my Disney sweatshirts without sweating lol. 🤷🏻♀️ Our annual trip is usually January but going early February this year.
i agree about the rain gear. I used to buy the ponchos every trip and i got tired of wasting money and now have a really nice rain jacket that folds up into a bag for easy packing/storage.
You recommended the disposable diaper pails in a different video too and they are game changing! I’ve used them several times for hotel stays this winter for our baby and toddler and they work great! Thanks for the recommendation!
Love it! I know it is slightly different with boys, but if it does get really warm, I just put my son in gym shorts and a t-shirt to play in the pool and splash pad. 😊 have fun!!!
Girl swear we have been to disney 4 times in January! And while we miss out on the water park aspect we love it! Layers are your BFF!! U will enjoy it! Lower(ish) crowds and its less draining not having to fight that extreme heat Florida is known for! Layer up, grab a warm drink and yall enjoy!!
It was easy to pack to go visit family in our homeland in the summer, but in winter with all these cosy bulky clothes... I can do a small trick - if you don't mind too many wrinkles or you have an iron - you can pack them in the vacuum bags and suck out the air :D Repeat then you pack back (if you have a vacuum but with family we had :P)
Dont be nervous! You got this! I took my twin boys plus 1 daughter to Disney solo their whole lives. We have the best memories! (you forget the hard stuff- except when my son lost it at dinner at Coral Reef and we stopped doing sit down meals for a decade lol)
@@wilddawgfarm Thank you for the kind words! That makes me feel a lot better. Our youngest lost it at all the sit down restaurants on our last visit, so I didn’t book any table service this trip. Lol. Hopefully we’re good! 🙏🏻
🧳 Loved this!! We are leaving for Disney world this Sunday for a last minute trip and I’m so excited! Watching your pack for Disney to prep me for my pack for Disney 😊
50 degrees sounds amazing right now! Watching as we are in a blizzard warning starting in an hour. . Looking forward to my Disney Wish Cruise and 4 days in parks …in February!
My kids *love* gloves so much, we bought them a variety pack for Christmas literally just for costumes because they’re boys, so they want to be superheroes all the time. My 2.5 and 4.5yos are pros at getting gloves on 😂 might be worth getting them a pair to practice with before you go! ETA: We are FL annual passholders and I highly recommend getting them wool base layers in a size up and rolling the sleeves and pants. You’ll get 2+ years out of them and it helps them thermoregulate much better than bulky layers. And wool is dirt and smell resistant so one set will probably be fine for the whole trip. We put them in a wool base layer for kids which feels like athletic clothes more than it feels like a sweater, then their Disney shirt on top (or a princess dress for girls), and a fleece jacket for the morning. By noon they won’t need it anymore. We also pack stroller blankets and Sherpa lined hoodies too just in case. But a wool base and fleece jacket is really all they have needed in Florida, a puffer isn’t necessary for our Florida kiddos and they hate the bulk because they’re used to bare feet and no shirt most of the year.
@@thepixiedustedmomHave so much fun! For the future though it will let you pack much lighter and just not be as worried about them possibly being cold, my kids go to forest school too and the wool base layers were a total game changer for the winter. The humidity and wind especially at WDW cuts right through cotton/poly no matter how many layers you wear, I think that’s why Florida cold hits so different? But man you have everything so accounted for!
@@jessicachurch319 Good to know on the wool layers! I'll have to look into those for at home too. We have humidity here in TN too just not as much a FL.
@@thepixiedustedmom Helly Hansen makes really good quality outdoor wear. The kids rain gear is from there and they have played outside during a hurricane without getting their clothes underneath wet at all. Their base layers feel a little bit like athletic clothes too, just not as stretchy and not scratchy at all. But it’s pricey. We sized both kids up and by the time the 2yo outgrows his he will be able to fit the 4yo’s set.
Cold weather gear is a must in the colder months. We went to Disney in January a couple years ago and we’re miserableeeee with how cold we were in our Florida attire
Your videos are so helpful! Even though my daughter is seven, she is intellectually, disabled and very much like a toddler. So all of this packing for winter is so incredibly helpful. I’m using your link to get lots of things on Amazon. We leave in 14 days.
If the girls are cold on “Encanto outfit day”, use their long sleeve shirts from travel day and put them underneath the dresses so they still get the Encanto look.
I hope you all will be warm enough it's low 60's here in California and 40's to 30's at night , I hope you all have a great time I can't wait to see more videos, I have some products from JL Childress like the stroller blanket I absolutely love no dropped blankets and the micky hooks to me all the there products are a 10/10
What’s the best bag you use for laundry day? Last time our room was quite far from the laundry room. What bag is best to carry laundry to and from? That is easy to pack in your luggage too. Thanks!! I’m so happy I found your channel. Your videos are great!
Hands down this basket! amzn.to/4bhlfGe It folds down small and it strong enough to not fall apart when it's full and you are carrying it to the laundry facility.
🧳We have those tiny Mickey carabiners! They were great for a while (we keep 3 water bottles on each, as we are a family of 6, with a side by side double stroller), BUT the actual swingarm is kinda wimpy. We make sure all the weight is inside the ear section where it’s strong, but we’ve had to reattach the wire part so many times in this first year 😢 I really thought using a big brand would provide better quality. Hope u have more mileage with yours!🤞🏻
Thank you for all the packing tips. I’m over here putting together activities for our roadtrip from TX to Disney and you have been a big help so thank you! 🧳
Thank you for this video! I just watched your winter pack with me from last year a few days ago because we’re leaving to Disney next week 😆 I use those disposable diaper pail things as well tho and use them for every trip for my littles! Have a magical time :)
We’re leaving this weekend, my boys are 10 & 4 and my girl is 7! I try to coordinate them still but the chilly temps are making it harder than our July trip for packing! So many layers lol!
Great packing vid! Not keeping the swimmies packed made me sad😆… we’re going over Mardi Gras mid Feb and hoping for warmish weather bc it’s our first time staying at the Poly and my girls are dying to swim 🥶… we’re in Louisiana so we need some 80 degree temps to swim 😅 We usually go Jan/Feb every year and it’s def a mixed bag of temps!!
Hey Ashley! Always so helpful! Do you prefer the SlumberTot bed or the one from amazon you've used in previous videos? Our 2.5 year old is just about too big for the pack and plays, so we need something for our him soon!
Hey! They are both great options honestly. The Slumbertot fits PERFECTLY inside of the Slumberpod since that's the way they made it. The one from Amazon fits but you do have to stretch the fabric just slightly to get it inside. If your little guy is on the taller side I would go with the Amazon one because it will last longer.
What sippy cups/bottles do you find to be the most travel/airport friendly? We’re flying to MCO from NJ at the end of January and it’ll be my 2 year olds first flight. Thanks!
Did you dye your hair recently? You look gorgeous...very snow -white-esq! Wondering, how r u going to carry all that on the plane with your littles! Im gonna assume we wont get a video of you juggling all that when you are getting on the plane lol Also, the hats.. I think you were trying to remember the word toque (pronounced like tewk) which is what we call those beanie hats in Canada!
No I just switched up my part which hides my natural sun kissed highlights 😂 Okay so the girls suitcases fit perfectly under my double stroller, backpack on my back and I’ll rolling the suitcase and stroller. At least that’s the plan anyway haha. Yes!! That’s another one lol so many names for a hat.
@@kristihorton1120 They are having a sale on their round trip options and the discount code isn't stackable. To use the code you'd just have to use the one-way option
As my Disney momma guru I need your help. Is it possible to go to Disney solo with a 9,6 and 4 year old in relation to ride heights? If my 9&6 year old boys want to go on a ride and I have Genie plus can I line up with them until they get on the ride and then move to wait until they get off? Or is that insane and totally unrealistic? I want to surprise my kids with a trip at Xmas but leave my husband and 2 year old home. Was hoping I could manage like you:) I can handle the everyday, since I do it everyday with 4 but it’s the logistic part I need to organise in my head and know it’s possible 😊
Okay so I've heard mixed reviews on the going through the line with someone but not actually riding. You might have to scan them in and then let them go through the lightning lane by themselves. And then this is the rules on kids riding alone from the Disney site: As noted in their Property Rules, Policies & Regulations, Walt Disney World Guests under the age of 7 must be accompanied by another Guest 14 years or older when boarding an attraction. So, if your prince or princess is of the brave age of 7 then they can ride unaccompanied. Hope this helps with your planning 🫶🏼
@@thepixiedustedmomthanks for all the info, because of your help I have decided to bring my mom along and meet my SIL too. I just booked Port Orleans Riverside per your recommendation and Poly for a split stay. Now back to watching your packing videos again for our trip in Oct😜😬 Oh any new recommendations on transport? I used Away we Go last time.
🧳 Hot take maybe, but I LOVE Disney in winter. I love being able to wear my Disney sweatshirts without sweating lol. 🤷🏻♀️ Our annual trip is usually January but going early February this year.
You are so inspiring! Traveling to Disney solo with kids seems so daunting and your videos are so helpful
ive been watching both of your channels non stop for a good 2 weeks. i adore you and your family and love your videos as a disney fan!
Thank you so much!! Really appreciate you watching! ❤
🧳hope you have a great trip!!! Leaving for Disney in 14 days- first trip without our kids. All the emotions.
Allllll the feels on an adult only trip but you guys will have such a great time!
🧳 love your videos! Your advice, tips, tricks and positive energy is just amazing!
Can't wait for the diaper bag video!! I hope you have a magical time on your trip!!
i agree about the rain gear. I used to buy the ponchos every trip and i got tired of wasting money and now have a really nice rain jacket that folds up into a bag for easy packing/storage.
Yessss! You end up going through so many that you could have just purchased a rain jacket!

If the girls are cold on “Encanto outfit day”, use their long sleeve shirts from travel day and put them underneath the dresses so they still get the Encanto look.
Oh great idea!
🧳 leaving in 7 days can’t wait to see your next diaper bag video
As a preschool teacher for 16 years, mittens!!!!! Yes!!! Please!!!😂
