Trying to figure out what you’ll actually need on your Disney World vacation is almost as difficult as deciding which ride to go on first!
What do you REALLY need?
We’ve tested a ton of products in the parks, so trust us when we tell you which items are absolutely essential. And, if you’ve been putting off buying these Disney essentials on Amazon ahead of your next trip, consider this your sign to stop procrastinating!
Get this Frogg Toggs reusable poncho
Frogg Toggs Poncho
This reusable poncho is a must-have for visiting Disney World during the summer. It’s easy to pull on and features a deep hood with adjustable cord locks, plus side snaps for added wet weather protection. This thing has protected us from those sudden downpours more than once!
This Stanley IceFlow water bottle will keep you hydrated
Stanley IceFlow
Experience next-level hydration with the Stanley IceFlow Flip Straw 2.0 Bottle, featuring AeroLight spun-steel insulation that makes it 33% lighter than standard stainless-steel bottles. The Flip Straw 2.0 lid is engineered to be leak-resistant, ensuring that your beverages stay securely contained without accidental spills. Perfect for taking to the parks!
We love this flat power strip for our hotel room
Flat Plug Power Strip
Disney World hotel rooms have limited outlets, so bringing a power strip with you is a great idea. We love this one because it features standard outlets, USB outlets, and USB-C outlets.
Or, you can grab this mini umbrella
Mini UV Umbrella
This mini travel umbrella is perfect for concealing in your purse or bag when you’re on the go! It folds to an ultra-compact 6.9 inches, making the umbrella great for travel, as this super lightweight umbrella collapses to the size of your palm. Just make sure you hold it out in front of you before going through Disney World security!
And finally, stay cool with this portable fan
JISULIFE Handheld Mini Fan
Designed with a pocket size, this portable fan easily fits into any bag for on-the-go convenience. Doubling as a backup power bank, it keeps your devices charged when needed, making it perfect for your travel and summer essentials. It’s a portable charger and fan in one!
