Sydney’s Top Picks for the Ultimate Park Day:
Rain Poncho – Sydney's #1 Essential

You can stay dry and keep having fun without missing a beat. Bonus: it folds up into a tiny pouch that fits perfectly in any bag!Fan – Stay Cool and Breeze Through Your Day
With all that walking and excitement, the heat can be relentless. Sydney’s go-to fan is a portable, handheld, battery-operated gem that gives you instant relief from the sun. Whether you’re standing in line or just enjoying a parade, it’s a total game-changer for staying cool.Hand Sanitizer – Keep It Clean, Keep It Fun!
With so much exploring and snacking, hand sanitizer is a must-have! Sydney loves keeping a small bottle on hand for quick clean-ups, whether it’s after a ride or before grabbing a tasty treat. Easy to use, and it keeps the germs at bay!Extra Socks – Always Be Prepared!
Sydney knows that wet feet can totally ruin a day at the parks. That’s why she always packs an extra pair of socks. Whether it's from unexpected rain or getting your feet wet on a water ride, it’s nice to have a fresh, dry pair ready to go!HydroFlask – Hydration is Key
Staying hydrated is essential when you’re on your feet all day, so Sydney always brings her trusty HydroFlask. It keeps her water ice-cold for hours, which is exactly what you need when you’re out under the sun.Portable Charger – Stay Powered Up!
You don’t want your phone dying halfway through the day, especially when you’re snapping pictures and using your map app to navigate the park. Sydney's must-have is a compact, portable charger that fits perfectly in her bag, so she can stay connected all day long.Pin Trading Bag – Collecting Memories, One Pin at a Time
If you love collecting pins, Sydney’s got you covered! A pin trading bag is a fun and practical way to display your pins and trade with fellow park-goers. Plus, it’s a fantastic way to keep track of all the awesome souvenirs you’ll collect!
Diana’s Packing Essentials for a Comfortable, Carefree Day:
Pain Reliever & Bandaids – Be Prepared for Anything
Diana always keeps a small bottle of pain reliever in her bag. After a day of walking, you never know when those little aches might kick in! She also packs bandaids, because blisters can sneak up on you after those long hours of adventuring. Comfort is key, and she’s got it covered!HydroFlask – Stay Cool and Refreshed
Like Sydney, Diana knows the importance of hydration. She never heads to the park without her HydroFlask, keeping her drinks cold all day long. Whether you’re sipping water or your favorite iced drink, it’s a must-have for staying energized and refreshed.Chapstick – Keep Those Lips Moisturized
Diana’s trick to staying comfortable all day in the sun is chapstick! With all that sun and wind exposure, dry lips can sneak up on you, and nothing puts a damper on a park day like chapped lips. Diana swears by a good, moisturizing balm to keep her lips smooth and hydrated.Sunscreen – Protect Your Skin
There’s nothing worse than coming home from a day in the sun with a painful sunburn. Diana always slathers on sunscreen before she heads out, and she makes sure to bring a travel-sized bottle to reapply throughout the day. Protecting your skin means more fun in the sun without the discomfort later!
