5 Amazing Disney packing cubes options
What is a packing cube?
Packing cubes are lightweight fabric containers in various sizes designed to fit neatly into your suitcase or bag. They make packing and unpacking a breeze and can really help you stay organized, particularly if you are traveling with a big group or family. They are even more helpful if you are changing resorts or on a tight schedule.
Another advantage is they are space-saving, some more so than others. Compression packing cubes can make getting more in your suitcase, backpack, or carry-on much easier.
I never pack for Disney without my compression packing cubes- who wants to pay extra luggage fees if they don’t have to?
These options include the best that I’ve found and some Disney-themed options to add even more Pixie Dust to your packing! I have also included bonus tips on staying organized.
Stay Organized, Disney Style
With designated cubes for clothing, accessories, and even shoes, you can easily locate your favorite Minnie ears or Disney-themed T without rummaging through your entire suitcase. Opt for cubes in different sizes to accommodate various items – from larger cubes for clothing to smaller ones for toiletries or souvenirs.
That being said, these packing essentials are even more fun because they are Disney-themed! How can you resist, right?
Save space on your next Disney trip with compression packing cubes
One of the greatest benefits of packing cubes is that they can save so much space in your suitcase/bag, and even save you money on luggage fees.
You can neatly stack or arrange the cubes in your suitcase like building blocks, making the most of every inch of space. Compression packing cubes save the most space, and these are some of the best on the market.
The Lean Traveler grey packing cubes are what I used on most of my recent Disney trips, and I love them! The compression is excellent, allowing me to fit an entire week’s worth of Disney clothes and accessories in my backpack! And I love the mesh window so I can see what’s in each cube.
Effortless Transition from Suitcase to Hotel Room
Picture arriving at your Disney resort or hotel, and unpacking in 5 minutes! Simply lift out the cubes containing the items you need, and place them directly in drawers or on shelves. Or just keep them in the cubes and throw the cubes in the drawers- voila, you are done and ready to hit the Parks!
And here’s one of my very favorite packing cube options that I use on our van trips and Disney trips– it’s both a compression packing cube and a hanging closet organizer. It can’t get any simpler than this. You just take it out of the suitcase and hang it in the closet!
This option also makes it super easy to do a “split-stay”- moving from one Disney resort to another with ease so you can experience different resorts without worrying about unpacking and repacking. Did you know that if you do a split-stay Disney will bring your bags to the hotel you are moving to?
Souvenir Storage and Separation
Let’s face it—it’s pretty difficult to come home from a Disney vacation without any extra merch! Disney packing cubes, or any extra packing cubes, can help you separate your newly acquired Minnie ears, Disney pins, or Spirit Jersey from your main luggage and from your plain old non-magical luggage.
I like to bring a few extra Disney packing cubes to carry any new purchases that I may make at the parks. They are easy to pack and bring along and don’t take up much space on your trip to Disney. Remember, if you fill them up, you will need space in your suitcase, so sometimes it’s a good idea to have an extra packable bag in case your suitcase gets too full. Unless, of course, you drive there; in that case, shop on!
Here’s one of my favorite extra bags that I bring on my Disney trips. I have even used the compression packing cubes above to fit a whole week’s worth of Disney clothes and gear into this medium-sized bag. We fly budget airlines so anything we can do to beat those crazy extra baggage fees! With 5 of us those fees can really add up!
The Wrap Up
Packing for a Disney trip takes time and organization, and packing cubes can make the process so much easier. From effortlessly locating your favorite Disney apparel to efficiently packing and unpacking, these cubes are a no-brainer for a more efficient Disney trip.
These handy cubes have helped me pack our family of 5 up much faster, make it easier to remember what we have packed and make it much easier when we do our split-stays.
