Packing for a Vacation in Orlando: Essentials for Women

So you’re excited to head over to Orlando for a much-needed vacation and plenty of downtime. You've got your itinerary sorted, and you're exploring state parks, Disney World, and all its theme parks, restaurants, and spending plenty of time unwinding in the pool at your luxury vacation rental.

But if there's one thing that can stress anyone out, it's the mind-numbing task of packing. Especially if you're going for a more extended vacation and traveling with friends and family, you're going to be struggling to pick the right items for your trip.

Packing smart—the essentials

When packing for an extended vacation, it isn't easy to downsize and save up on space. You might end up with bulk suitcases and multiple bags that are difficult to carry and store, or exceed your baggage limit.

Break your luggage down, packing using the following:

·        Buy vacuum bags and organizers

These are an excellent investment for long and short-term use. Super easy to use, you get to save tons of space through them. You can fit in several items of clothing from tops to dresses to jackets and even jeans, and still save tons of packing space.

           

Organizers help make packing smarter and reduce the need to cram things into multiple bags. Packing and organizing cubes help you save space and keep the bulk of your things in one place.

·        A separate toiletries case for essentials

Toiletries such as shampoo, soaps, creams, lotions, skin care products should be in a separate pouch but ideally together. If you're going on a long vacation, travel-sized toiletries may not suffice, but with organizers, you'll have more space for products.

·        Backpack and purses

Additionally, have your backpack with your gadgets, medication, extra items, and documentation ready to go and a small purse for day to day activities. You may not be able to carry a large bag on your many adventures.

What to wear every day

Orlando has pretty pleasant weather all through the year, so you can safely pack all your summery outfits. Just keep in mind the following:

·         Tops should be breathable, comfortable, and durable, especially if you're going to be outdoors. Tank tops, t-shirts, crop tops, blouses are all great options—and you can play with color, cuts, prints without much worry.

·         Trade in your jeans for shorts, leggings, and other more breathable fabrics and styles, if you can. Skirts might cause chafing, so be mindful of those.

·         Dresses are great for some occasions like hitting up the bars, dinners, and Dinsey World but prepare for chafing if you're walking around a lot.

·         Footwear needs to be both relaxing and walking-friendly, so be sure to pack comfortable options like sneakers and sandals that you can move around in without worrying about blisters. You can carry flip flops in your backpack when you’re out for a quick change, depending on the activity.

When it comes to your outfits, focus on comfort as much as you do on style. You don’t want to be distracted or annoyed by your outfit when all you want is to have a good time.

Extras to keep with you

This goes without saying, but you need to have your swim-suit because Orlando has great weather for some water fun. Although there are no beaches in this landlocked city, there are some a few hours away, as well as plenty of lakes and rivers nearby, even rides that offer water adventures.

Sunglasses and hats are vacation essentials, too, as well as other accessories such as jewelry and makeup!
