10 Essential Disney Tips For A Comfortable, Stress-Free Day
Katrina Belle

Millions of tourists come through Orlando every year to go to Disney. I've lived in Orlando for almost all of my life and I can remember going to the theme parks since I was a toddler! Here is a list of some crucial things to bring with you and what is best to wear to the parks:

1. Some sunscreen.

Every year I see people who end up getting severely sunburnt. Avoid becoming a lobster by wearing that SPF 50.

2. A water bottle.

If you are at the park all day you will need hydration. There are water bottles available to be purchased in the park but you are better prepared by bringing your own with you.

3. Sunglasses.

Even in the Florida winter it will still be bright. You will want to enjoy your experience instead of squinting through it. Pick a pair that is stylish and go with your cute outfit.

4. A portable phone charger.

You will be spending time taking photos and videos, Snapchatting and uploading Stories to Instagram and possibly Facebook. You will want to make sure that you bring a fully charged portable charger with you so that you do not end up missing any special moments by the end of your magical day, like the fireworks show.

5. Wear sneakers instead of flip-flops.

You will be walking around for many hours all day, if not for several days if you plan on doing all of the parks on your vacation. Thus you will be in need of comfortable shoes. Flip-flops might seem like they would be comfy but they are so thin and flimsy it will feel like you are walking barefoot after a while. You'll also want shoes that will stay on during a roller coaster.

6. A few hair bands.

If you have long hair it is bound to blow around in the wind. A high ponytail or a braid will look cute and keep your hair out of your face. If you have shorter hair I would suggest a headband so it doesn't get stuck in your eyes and mouth.

7. Bring a backup lipstick and foundation.

If you wear makeup, you will want to reapply some of your makeup after most likely sweating all day. I would suggest putting sunscreen on first like a primer, then your foundation and the rest of your makeup. I would wear waterproof options for mascara, and a matte lip that dries for lipstick. You want to try and be as impermeable to the environment as possible, whether you are sweating in the heat, getting rained on, burning up in the sun, and going back and forth between the outdoors and air conditioning.

8. Wear a sundress.

Gone are the days of big baggy shirts, shorts and clunky sneakers as the go-to park attire. Nowadays you want to look cute and stylish for all of your photos from your trip! A nice mid-thigh or knee-length sundress made out of soft fabric will do the trick. It is a nice and light outfit, and not too complicated while still being stylish and comfortable.

9. Get cute, but still comfy shoes.

You can pick some comfy strappy sandals or flats to go with your outfit for the park instead of sneakers. Personally, I am more likely to get a blister from my sneakers than from a pair of flats! Just be sure to pick a pair of shoes that you will be comfortable in. No high heels either. You will be walk walk walking all day like a marathon, and won't want to be distracted by hobbling around with a blister.

10. Bring a shoulder bag.

To keep your hands free for the day, pick a bag that goes over your shoulder and fastens securely. You will want to travel light so choose one that is just big enough for your phone, cards and cash, lipstick and any other makeup or small items.


With all of the items on this list you will be prepared for long happy days at the park! You will be able to focus on having fun instead of feeling uncomfortable or unprepared.

I've been super busy lately with school work, studying, etc. Besides the fact that I do nothing but AP chemistry and AP economics, I constantly think of stupid questions that are almost impossible to answer. So, maybe you could answer them for me, and if not then we can both wonder what the answers to these 15 questions could be.

To My Loving Boyfriend,

  • Thank you for all that you do for me
  • Thank you for working through disagreements with me
  • Thank you for always supporting me
  • I appreciate you more than words can express
  • You have helped me grow and become a better person
  • I can't wait to see where life takes us next
  • I promise to cherish every moment with you
  • Thank you for being my best friend and confidante
  • I love you and everything you do

To start off, here's something I don't say nearly enough: thank you. Thank you, thank you, thank you from the bottom of my heart. You do so much for me that I can't even put into words how much I appreciate everything you do - and have done - for me over the course of our relationship so far. While every couple has their fair share of tiffs and disagreements, thank you for getting through all of them with me and making us a better couple at the other end. With any argument, we don't just throw in the towel and say we're done, but we work towards a solution that puts us in a greater place each day. Thank you for always working with me and never giving up on us.

Hauppauge is home to people of all kinds. We always have new families joining the community but honestly, the majority of the town is filled with people who never leave (high school alumni) and elders who have raised their kids here. Around the town, there are some just some landmarks and places that only the people of Hauppauge will ever understand the importance or even the annoyance of.
