another one I thought of this morning if you don't like washing hands with bar soap
bring liquid hand soap when we went to universal a couple of months ago all they have is bar soap in the rooms to wash hands.

I never go without:
~Hand sanitizer (even before COVID)
~Poncho--I like reusable ones, but that's just me. They tend to be a higher quality, and I like to reduce my waste as much as I can. There are some great & VERY compact reusable ones out there on the market, and they dry very quickly. The one I have has a bag that it folds into, which keeps my other items dry once it has rained & I don't need it anymore, and I also double it up in a zip baggy if I do have to use it--which in Orlando with those quick rainstorms is more often than in the parks I attend back home.
~Zip baggies--these are VERY handy for water rides & rainy surprises. I actually have a stash that just stays with my park stuff for any & all parks to ensure I always have them handy, and they do not get forgotten
~Sunhat(s)--I come from an area where we have literally an average of 30 sunny days/year, so my body appreciates the extra shade when in sunny Orlando. I try to find one that is very flexible & can easily compact into my waistpack
~Waistpack--I personally hate carrying a backpack all day, so I try to compact ALL park items needed into my Waistpack. This really isn't that hard (though I'm sure it is much trickier with kiddos, which I do not have), you just have to organize & plan out exactly what you truly NEED to have with you all day. I find there really isn't that much that I must ABSOLUTELY have during my day at the parks, and what I like to have is either collapsible or quite small.
~Collapsible cup--great for water & anything else I might need, and folds into that waistpack (as mentioned above)
~Watch--I find when I don't want to have to whip my phone out to keep an eye on the time that a watch is VERY handy to have--I also am the type who keeps a good mental schedule of the times I need to be places, etc., so I don't necessarily need to pull out my phone to remember times for fastpasses, etc, just need to know what time it actually is.
~Reusable Silverware--trust me it has come in handy
~Lens Repair Kit--I have had things happen to my glasses in the past, and had no where to turn--trust me, tape does not hold well in Floridian humidity, I find. It was just once, but once is enough.
~Multiple pairs of shoes--Traditionally, I only ever travel with one pair of shoes. For Disney--I often take three.
~A smile on my face--always there in WDW :D

I put in items I don't want squished in there like toothpaste, shampoo, etc. When we get there, I have a cooler to keep drinks cold by the pool. For the trip home, I have a place to put any items I picked up that I don't want squished.
What a nifty idea!! I think I’m gonna try that too. Thanks!

My backpack always has my personal fan, a pair of Crocs sandals (for when it rains, to avoid wet socks and shoes - Adam Hattan tip), my UV umbrella, water, blister pads, bandaids, extra masks (these days), cooling towel, my phone, wristlet for my wallet and things, earplugs, and Tylenol
