Comfortable shoes - You will be walking a lot, protect those toes.
Water bottle - Stay hydrated with a reusable water bottle and this will cut costs from having to buy them in the park.
Raincoat / Poncho - It is very likely it will rain.
Portable charger - Even if you don't use Genie+, you will have your phone out for pictures and don't want it losing power right when you get the perfect shot.
