Stay safer with these 5 protective items, including Disney Face Masks, you should pack for your next trip to the theme parks.
If you are looking for protective items to bring with you to the Disney Parks, consider adding any of the following 5 items:
1. Disney Face Masks
Face Masks are still a requirement for both children and adults at Disney Parks if you’re not vaccinated and if you wish to use Disney transportation.
So how about going in style with the adorable Disney face masks to be found on Shop Disney (Official Site)? These Disney Face Masks are so cute and seem to be flying off the digital shelf like hot cakes.
According to Mayo Health, “face masks combined with other preventive measures, such as frequent hand-washing and social distancing, help slow the spread of the disease.”
2. Hand Sanitizer
Yes, Disney is promising to have hand sanitizer stations but best be safe and have your own stash for the family. You’ll need it for meals, getting off rides, and any rest stops.
So how about a small little bottle you can add to your purse or backpack?
According to the CDC, “If soap and water are not readily available, use a hand sanitizer that contains at least 60% alcohol. Cover all surfaces of your hands and rub them together until they feel dry. Avoid touching your eyes, nose, and mouth with unwashed hands.”
3. Lysol Wipes
While Disney is promising more frequent cleanings, you can never know just when the last cleaning was for your table, bench, or attraction. So why not bring your own protective items to provide extra peace of mind when you can confidently know your table, chair, bench, attraction car, etc., have been cleaned.
And similar to hand sanitizer, a bag of wipes can easily be stashed in your purse or backpack.
4. A Towel or Change of Clothes
After spending a day at a Disney Park, your pants and shirt will likely be dirty and covered in germs from sitting on attractions, at restaurants, and on benches.
Before hopping into your car for the ride home, consider using the most unique of the protective items — a change of clothes (after you’ve finished using all forms of transportation) or bring with you a towel that can cover the seat.
Also when you remember just how many germs are carried on your shoes, you’ll be glad not to drag park germs into your car and family home. Might not seem necessary but these protective items will provide peace of mind and help you avoid catching Coronavirus.
According to the CDC, “It may be possible that a person can get COVID-19 by touching a surface or object that has the virus on it and then touching their own mouth, nose, or possibly their eyes, but this is not thought to be the main way the virus spreads.”
5. Disposable Gloves
You’ll be glad you have disposable gloves when you’re cleaning up with your Lysol wipes. They’ll also come in handy when your family gets on the rides at the Disney Parks so you don’t have to worry about cleaning hands after each ride.
Just give each family member a pair of gloves before climbing onto the ride and dispose of them when you’re stepping off the ride.
This specific idea for my protective items list came from watching a video of Disneyland Shanghai where a cast member was visibly handing gloves out just before an indoor roller coaster. So, perhaps, Disneyland and Disney World will follow suit but we won’t know which rides if any until after being in the parks, and by then it is too late to prepare a box of gloves for your family’s use.
According to the CDC, “It may be possible that a person can get COVID-19 by touching a surface or object that has the virus on it and then touching their own mouth, nose, or possibly their eyes, but this is not thought to be the main way the virus spreads.”
I hope this has been helpful and that your family has a fun and safe and healthy trip to one of the Happiest Places on Earth! And share with me any pictures of your family wearing those adorable Disney face masks!

Sharing is Caring
Those are all wonderful items to keep in mind and bring. It’s better to be safe and cautious.
This is great advice. Yes, things are opening up, but we still need to remember to be careful and take care of ourselves. COVID is not gone, we’re just learning to live with it.
Thank you for sharing this. Great guide and a reminder. Those masks look great!
Yea now we need to protect our self when we go out in public
Oh it’s been a year since our visit to Tokyo Disneyland! We want to explore it again for the winter season but maybe next year. It is best to be safe always.
Thanks for all the great tips for staying safe when visiting Disney parks. But I too unfortunately won’t be visiting. I wish I could though!
Thank you for this info about Disney as we were just making plans to visit next more. Covid=19 has really hurt going to the parks but I know they are ready to open again.
Sadly now these are the times where we do need items like this to make sure that we are safe x
This is a great guide. We all want to get back to normal as soon as possible, but we also want to be as safe as possible.
This items are real necessity in present day situation. Yet this items are beautiful. We need it everywhere we visit.
This is really good information to prepare people for the time when Disney opens its doors again. Hopefully, people will still remember to practise social distancing and be mindful of surfaces that are touched often. I must admit I just love the Disney face masks that really blend in with the Disney theme!
Face Mask is a must and I will be shocked if there are still debate and doubts about this. – Knycx Journeying
I would love to go to a disney park, I cant wait for my baby niece to grow up a bit so I can take her with me 🙂
I honestly can’t imagine going to a theme park right now. Until everything calms down, we aren’t going anywhere near them.
These items will definitely come in handy when we visit disney soon.
Lysol Wipes can be very handy in Disney parks. Of course, disposable and washable masks are a must too! Stay safe!
for sure amusement parks are adjusting services while trying to reassure visitors are safe. As a guest we are all responsible.
I agree we are all responsible
I think hand sanitizer and masks would be required for a long time. It is very essential now.
Yes, I can imagine that many businesses will be introducing all these kind of things with the whole situation x
Because of the times were in and because it’s Disney, the steps are worth it. Thanks for sharing and reminding us what we need to do when the parks open
Essential protectives items are the new must haves when in public. I do hope everyone participates in public safety, preventative measures & proper hygiene. Even more so, during this pandemic. Stay happy, healthy and smart 🙂
Great things to pack indeed. I think that it is now the kit for everywhere we have to go now.
We were planning a Disney trip before COVID19 , but am gonna save this for later reference! Thanks ?
We were planning a trip to Disney World next year. I sure hope that the world is a better place! But I have to say those masks are adorable!
I can’t believe Disney parks are going to open so soon! Welp, you’ve covered the necessary items!
A face masks or a couple of them is all I need!
this is a helpful guide, the essential items to bring over when you are travelling there, being cautious and careful.
All of this is really boring, although obviously necessary. Meanwhile, let’s enjoy the fun so waiting to return to do it normally.
Very good list. I have never been to Disney but I think this is a good list to have when I finally do make it there, virus or not!
these will definitely come in handy when my family visits Disney in October.
While we aren’t planning on going to Disney this year, I am curious to see all of the precautions they are going to take and how they will do it with so many guests.
