The Carry-On Queen: Packing for Flights and Park Days Like A Pro

This is everything we brought on an 8 day trip for a family of 4.

Below is a packing list organized by all the different parts of your trip. I’ve included built-in links where applicable for suggestions to products I’ve personally used and enjoyed. 

 

Important things to keep in mind: we are a carry-on only family. Everything we bring for a week fits in one bag per person that comes on the plane with us. We also don’t bring most toiletries because the hotel has a lot of what we need already.*

 

I am also a very Type-A organizer, so I put small things in bags and then put those bags in other bags. See my links at the bottom for different options for park bags and suitcases.
