Your Ultimate Orlando Road Trip Packing List (Perfect for Airbnb Stays!)
Planning a road trip to Orlando? Whether you’re a family headed for Disney magic, a couple seeking sunshine and adventure, or a group of friends ready for fun, driving gives you one big advantage: space to pack smart.
If you’re staying at an Airbnb, your packing needs go beyond just swimsuits and sunscreen. From everyday essentials to those “I can’t believe we forgot that!” items, this guide will help you pack like a pro. And don’t forget — Magical Arrivals is here to make your stay seamless, with fridge stocking, equipment rentals, and personalized concierge services delivered straight to your vacation rental.

These items are your must-haves, no matter your destination:
