Creator's Key Takeaways
So, I'm probably a little overprepared in terms of having medications, but it just makes me feel a little better um to have everything.
I know we've always appreciated when people take the time to give our son a little something. So we just kind of wanted to pay it forward this time.

Come pack with us for our 13-night transatlantic Disney cruise on the Disney Fantasy (plus extra days in London and Florida). Packing for a trip like this can be overwhelming (especially if you're trying to pack carry-on only, like us). We hope this video will give you insight into what it's really like to pack for a family for such a long trip and hopefully give you some helpful tips along the way! We go through all of our luggage, including mixed-weather outfits, toiletries, medications, child-friendly items, our electronics setup, and also talk about how we plan to handle an overnight JFK layover on JetBlue without checking bags. We also share fun extras like pixie dust ideas, our fish extender, the custom bar-crawl lanyard (with a discount), and the cabin door magnets we’re obsessed with (also with a discount).
