In this vlog, I’ll share my packing essentials for a smooth and stress-free family day out, including what’s in our bags to keep the children entertained. I also dive into a controversial topic that might stir some debate—please be kind in the comments!
The next day, we hop on the train to London, where I teach my kids how to navigate the Underground like pros—perfect tips for families exploring the city. Our adventure wraps up with a visit to the last Disney Store in the UK and an exclusive Disney event, full of magic and fun.
If you’re looking for family travel tips, organisational hacks, or a little bit of Disney magic, this vlog is for you!

Mentioned in the vlog…
Heatless Curls
I get so many compliments when I sleep with my hair in this heatless curler! Honestly it is so easy to do (I am so bad at doing curls any other way) and it’s damage free.
Loop Ear Plugs
These are the noise reducing in ear plugs that I have fr Bella and she loves them.
Zara’s Ear Defenders
Zara doesn’t like things in her ears, but these ear defenders still fold up quite small for travel and she appreciates them when noises get overwhelming.
Travel Laptop Bag On Wheels
This is the latest addition to my packing kit and I LOVE it!

My Packing Essentials
Take a look at the my full packing essentials blog post for details of all of my top packing picks.
Cards I Use For The Kids’ Pocket Money
I get lots of questions about which card I use for spending abroad and on the ships where everything is in dollars and I use Monzo. They don’t charge any fees for spending abroad, and don’t mark up the exchange rate. I like the flexibility of being able to add the card to pay with Apple Pay on my phone and watch, plus you can place money into “savings pots” to put money aside for accommodation, merchandise, meals etc when saving for your trip.
They have even added kids cards, which my children have and we love. They appear within the parents app so that you can among pocket money and spending with ease, plus kids get their own card and app to learn to manage their money and make choices about spending and saving. And best of all, the kids cards are free!

AirTags & Straps For Child Safety On Trips
In the vlogs you will notice my kids wearing AirTags attached to their wrists with fun coloured straps. While AirTags are no substitute for keeping a close eye on your children, they can be a valuable extra way to ensure that you do not lose your children in busy places.
How do AirTags work?
Your AirTag sends out a secure Bluetooth signal that can be detected by nearby devices in the Find My network. These devices send the location of your AirTag to iCloud — then you can go to the Find My app and see it on a map. The whole process is anonymous and encrypted to protect your privacy. And itʼs efficient, so thereʼs no need to worry about battery life or data usage.
Labels
These are the labels that I use to label pretty much anything that has a chance of being misplaced when out of the house. From hoodies, bags and soft toys that can be left behind, everything gets a label. They can be stuck into the care labels of clothes or onto hard surfaces and after 24 hours are machine washable and dishwasher safe.
Pro tip: As well as you family name, put your telephone number on the labels. I have had so much stuff returned to me thanks to my phone number on these stickers! Make sure you replace the “0” with your country code (+44 in the UK) so that items can still be returned to you abroad. It’s also additional peace of mind that if your child is lost, they have your number in their clothing so that a helpful adult can contact you
