Remembering your tickets, passport, money and clothing will usually be at the top of your list when preparing for a trip. But as every Guide and Scout knows, being prepared means thinking about the little extras too!
To help your adventure run smoothly, here’s a packing guide – especially for Scouts or Guides trip to Disneyland© Paris.
Read on!
- Convenient Clothing
These boots were made for walking… around Disneyland! When exploring the parks and completing your “Disney adventure”, you’ll walk far more than you realise. So be kind to your feet and bring comfortable walking shoes or boots – something every Scout and Guide knows is essential on any outing.
The weather in Paris can also be unpredictable, so it’s important to be prepared for all conditions. Pack hats, gloves and scarves in winter, and sunhats and sunscreen in summer. Sunglasses are useful all year round, as even winter sunshine can be bright.
Travelling as part of a unit means keeping track of everyone. Matching hoodies, neckers or group clothing can make it much easier for leaders to spot their group and helps show your Scout or Guide pride whilst exploring the parks.
A comfortable backpack or day bag is also a must. It’s perfect for carrying your essentials throughout the day – and it leaves room for any souvenirs you might earn along the way!
- Electronic Entertainment
When at the playground of Marne-la-Vallée you’ll likely want to capture your special moments. Therefore, a camera or your mobile phone are ideal.
Also, you might want to listen to your favourite music or an audiobook during your travel to Disneyland. With that in mind, remember your headphones.
- Creature Comforts
For many groups, travelling to Disneyland Paris involves a long coach journey. After a busy day of exploring, you might want to rest on the way home.
A small blanket and travel pillow can make the journey much more comfortable.
Keeping fresh and ready for the day is also important, especially when you’re travelling with a group. Handy items like tissues, lip balm and hand sanitiser will help you stay comfortable throughout the trip.
If you need a quiet moment during the journey, books, puzzle books or magazines are great ways to relax between activities.
- Guiding and Scouting Extras
Part of the magic of Disneyland is meeting your favourite characters! Bringing an autograph book and pen means you’ll be ready to collect signatures and memories along the way.
A refillable water bottle is also very important. Staying hydrated will keep you energised for a full day of exploring.
Plus, to help your Scout or Guide group plan a route around the park, Disney© have park maps available online to download and print off. So, you can start to get excited about where you’ll be heading first.
