Christmas at Disney – Complete Packing List

This is our second Christmas in a row at the most Magical Place on Earth, and let me tell you, my excitement is through the roof!

This weekend, I’m working on the epic quest of packing for 6 people—seriously, it’s exhausting!

However, this year I’ve created a thorough checklist, which I’m pretty sure is longer than a holiday shopping list. But guess what? You can snag the FREE PRINTABLES at the bottom of this post.

PRO TIP: Winter in Orlando is mild but can get chilly in the mornings/evenings (50s°F) and warm during the day (60-70°F). Layers are key!
