How A Mom of Two Under 4 Prepares For A Magical Adventure At Disney Land & California Adventure
Hey there Higton Family! With the winter chill really getting to us here in Utah, we’ve decided it's time for a warm family adventure. And what better way to kick off this year’s adventures than with a magical trip to Disneyland? As a mom of two energetic toddlers, I've been busy getting everything ready to ensure our family has the best time possible at the Happiest Place on Earth. So, grab a cup of coco and let me share some of the things we've been doing to prepare for our Disneyland adventure!
- New Warm Weather Gear from Binky Bro: With the temperatures rising, it was time to update our little ones' wardrobes with some fresh warm weather outfits. We headed to Binky Bro, where we found the perfect blend of style and comfort with their surf vibe outfits and hats. Now our toddlers are ready to rock those sunny California days in style! You can check out some pictures & videos of those here. We have no affiliate with Binky Bro this is simply just what we dress our little guys in.
- Cool Kicks for Little Feet: Comfortable shoes are a must for exploring Disneyland, especially for our little adventurers. We picked up some cool and comfy Nike Air Max shoes for our boys, ensuring they'll be ready for all the excitement the park has to offer. Plus, with our 3-year-old right on the border of the height requirement for the big kid rides, we thought some thick sole comfy Airmax’s from Nike would help us maximize the fun! Some of our favorite toddler shoes can be found here just in case you want to check them out. Again we have no affiliation with Nike these are just some of the options we love.

- Packing Our Mini Mae Diaper Bag: As any parent knows, being prepared is key when venturing out with little ones. That's why we love our Mini Mae Diaper Bag—it's compact yet spacious enough to hold all the essentials. From drinks and snacks to diaper and, of course, the ever-important baby wipes and if you haven’t see the Mini Mae in action the Instant wipes access feature is a game changer for us and has us covered for a day of adventure at Disneyland without carrying a massive diaper bag. This is one of our own products and I’d definitely recommend it to any mom with toddlers or little ones that are breast fed or beyond allowing you to use a more compact bag for a full day at Disney. Here’s a video of the Compact Cozy in action.
- Compact Cozies for Naptime Bliss: Naptime can strike anywhere, especially during a busy day at the park. That's why we never leave home without our compact cozies and of course are bringing them to Disney with us. These nifty baby blankets easily clip onto our stroller and provide a cozy spot for our boys to rest whenever they need a break. Plus, with their waterproof side, they keep our little ones dry and comfortable, even if the weather takes a turn. This is one of our own products you can check out a video of it in action below.
- Our Double Seated Zoey Side By Side Stroller: Even though this stroller isn’t our favorite daily jogging stroller it is amazing for traveling because it fits through any door like magic and its super light weight with a large underneath storage area! We find a day at Disney with two littles is amazing but you can’t control how many people are swarming a park at the same time so we prefer having our kids in the stroller while we walk place to place and utilize the stroller by using it as a separate packing compartment. That’s where we leave our emergency stash of diapers, wipes, treats, jackets, clothes, drinks, etc. Basically just things we don’t Care about if they got picked through or stolen. Now while we are in line is where the Mini Mae really works its magic, it keeps our valuables plus everything we need for those long wait times you never can seem to avoid.
- Sneak Peek: The Higton Car Caddy: Shh, it's a secret! We've been testing out our new Higton Car Caddy, and let me tell you, it's a game-changer. These stylish organizers keep our car clean and clutter-free while ensuring we have everything we need for our travels. From diapers and wipes to snacks and toys, everything stays neatly organized and within easy reach, both on the road and in our hotel room. I keep one in the back seat and one in the hotel room while we are traveling. They keep all of our diapers, wipes, snacks, & books together along with some toys, bottles, etc so that the boys have everything they need on the ride and I have everything I need to take care of them all organized and ready to use.
As we count down the days until our Disneyland adventure, we're filled with excitement and anticipation. Stay tuned for updates from our trip, and in the meantime, keep an eye out for our adventures at Disneyland and California Adventure. Wishing you all the best on your own family adventures, and may your days be filled with laughter, joy, and magical moments!
