Orlando is home to the best entertainment options that children have ever dreamed of — from amazing theme parks to unbelievable go-cart tracks Here’s what to bring.

• If you plan on visiting world-famous theme parks such as Walt Disney World and Universal Studios, make sure to bring comfy tennis shoes and reusable water bottles.

• Golfers should pack their clubs for a round at The Ritz-Carlton Golf Club Orlando, Grande Lakes, which is set on a Certified Audubon Cooperative Sanctuary and was designed by two-time British Open Champion Greg Norman.

• Think about investing in a mosquito-repellent scarf. Companies like Ex Officio and Orvis offer stylish options, which are useful whenever you travel to warm climates.

There are more than just theme parks to savor in Orlando. The Florida Everglades are just within reach and can transport you to a place where time seems to stand still.

• Bring sturdy sports sandals that wrap around the ankle — the Chaco brand, for example — so you can head out on a guided canoe or kayak eco-adventure along Shingle Creek, a major source of water for Lake Tohopekaliga, part of the Kissimmee Chain of Lakes forming the headwaters to the Florida Everglades.  

• If you are traveling with children and plan to visit the area’s world-famous theme parks, be sure to bring wet wipes and hand sanitizers to be prepared for sticky, post-ice-cream fingers and busy bathrooms.

• Download apps that help visitors easily navigate theme parks. The My Disney Experience app provides a map of the park, daily show times, and — most important — information on where Mickey and Goofy might be at any given moment.  

Gorgeous nights should finish off any beautiful day in Orlando. The incredible dining options are topped only by the entertainment venues — whether that is live jazz, or a cocktail at the Blue Martini lounge. Pack accordingly. 

• Lightweight layers like a light sport coat or cardigan sweater are a smart idea since nights can get a bit chilly in Central Florida.  

• Wedge and platform sandals can do double duty at the pool during the day, then out on the dance floor after the sun sets.

• If you’re a man packing a coat or fitted dress shirt for dinners out, know that Floridians love cuff links with personality, e.g., with a favorite sports team or band.
