What’s In My Bag? Christmas Eve Disneyland Edition
Disneyland during the Holidays seems inexplicably more magical than usual, doesn’t it? On Christmas Eve I took a little road trip to California so my best friend and I could reunite, after months of separation, at “The Happiest Place On Earth.” The tricky thing about packing for a theme park is bringing all the necessities needed to keep you looking and feeling refreshed, but still packing light enough to be comfortable walking around all day. Here’s what’s in my bag for a full day at Disneyland, as well as a few photos of the parks Holiday cheer.
Bag: The Mansur Gavriel Mini Backpack in Black/Flamma (details here) was perfect and light for a day of trekking around the park.
Ears: These snapback Minnie Mouse ears were packed as a backup but I ended up wearing them the whole day. I like to buy new ones every time I visit, but the park was all sold out of Christmas ears *cries*.
Charger: The JunoPower charging Hue Stik is an essential. The reception at Disneyland is awful and when your phone is continuously searching for a stronger signal it drains battery life quicker.
Cell: Despite the reception, I’m always trying to update phhhoto & snapchat (@elle_kae) with my iPhone 6. Pro Tip: “Heads Up” is a game that saves lives is lines.
Camera: I alternate between my iPhone 6 and my Sony Alpha6000 mirrorless digital camera. It takes quality photos and videos, but is much easier to bring around than most bulky DSLR’s.
Hair: I bring Klorane Dry Shampoo w/Oat Milk (Mini) to add texture and revive my hair after hours of running around.
Skin: Boscia Green Tea Blotting Linens keep me feeling refreshed and oil free.
Sunnies: When the Jeremy Scott x Linda Farrow “Mickey” sunnies came out I couldn’t find them anywhere. I was so excite when I found these “inspired by” sunnies to take their place; I bring them overtime I visit Disneyland.
Scent: Viktor & Rolf Flowerbomb (Mini) is long-lasting and it smells how I imagine a Disney Princess would smell like.
Moisturizing: Yu-Be Moisturizing Skin Cream (Mini) is magical, super hydrating, and multi-purpose. I apply it to my hands, my elbows, and even my lips.
Lips: I found this Ettusais Lip Essence Stick in Japan and I’m obsessed. It has the perfect tint of color, is super hydrating, and offers SPF 18 coverage.
Face: Benefit Erase Paste concealer to re-mask blemishes and under eye circles and my favorite Chanel Vitalumiere Aqua cream compact, because I secretly love it when someone mistakes me for a teenager
Mirror: A playful popsicle mirror complete with a popsicle stick that doubles as a pull out comb.
Wallet: Yves Saint Laurent Y-Mail metallic gold coin purse to house my dolla dolla bills and Disneyland Park Pass.
What’s in your bag this season?

You’ve inspired me to do a whats in my bag for my next post! XOX Disney is fab! I’m like 10 mins away from there and see the fireworks every night. Great post!
Loved the photos (Disneyland is the best!). Thanks for sharing with us. :0)
Love the post! I have never been but it looks amazing 🙂
Looks like you had lots of fun!
Also, great choices to carry around
Lucky you 🙂 I love Disney
Ahh love everything about this.
I was there for Halloween and they were already putting up the Christmas decor. Love. I feel like doing a What’s in my bag post now. Xo
Can’t wait to see yours!
xx
OMG this post is everything. I want your sweater and those sunglasses. Also, where did you get the disney parks coffee? I’ve been twice and never found any? But to be fair I was more distracted with finding princesses. 🙂 xx Meagan
😀 I saw the sweater in Beyonces 711 video and cyber-stalked until I found it, haha. The disney parks coffee is actually Starbucks in special cups! There is one Starbucks at Downtown Disney, and one Starbucks on Main Street.
On Main Street its on the right hand side (if you’re heading toward the castle), but if you look at the awnings it says something like market or… idk something misleading. You have to look in the windows to see its a Starbucks– hard to see if you aren’t looking.

I knew I had seen it somewhere before! Now I must find it 🙂
And thank you thank you, my family and I are about to take our first family trip to Disney and this post has inspired me to make a “what’s in my bag” post of my own. I am sure I will need a lot of things with the kiddos, but I will still need to look cute and stay caffeinated, so to you I am grateful. <3
I have total Disney envy right now! I have been to Disneyworld about 5 times so far in my life and I can honestly say I will never get bored of the magic no matter my age! I’ve always thought the same about V+R Flowerbomb too, one of my favourite fragrances as it goes with most seasons. If you like flowerbomb I’d give L.I.L.Y by Stella McCartney a go, thats gorgeous too!
Really enjoyed these photos Lauren – and may I just say that you are absolutely stunning as a little side note!
