It’s part of our job to look at tons of the Disney “essentials” marketed online, and tell you if they’re actually going to make your lives better.
The answer sometimes is a resounding NO, and we have no problem telling you that (because we don’t want you wasting your money!), but every now and then we come across an item that genuinely we couldn’t imagine doing our trips without. We’ve shared a lot of those items with you throughout the year, and these are the seven that literally thousands of you bought this year!
Never Run Out of Plugs Again
Believe it or not, Disney World hotels often don’t have as many plugs as you’d like for all your electronics, especially if you’re bringing along extra cameras and other electronic devices. We’ve learned this the hard way, so now, if we know we’re staying in a hotel, we bring along the Flat Plug Power Strip with us to make sure we never run out of places to plug in our devices!
Keep Yourself ACTUALLY Dry
There are a lot of ponchos out there, but not all of them are made equally. In fact, most of them are pretty bad, and again, we know that from experience. The FROGG TOGGS Poncho, though? Not only does it keep us super dry and covers most of our body, but it’s made of great quality that won’t rip or tear, so you can wear it over, and over, and over again. Never be frustrated with a Disney World poncho again!
Charge All Your MagicBand+ in One Place
The MultiCharger for MagicBand+ can charge four MagicBand+ at one time by just using one USB port, which saves TONS of space. The best part? You don’t HAVE to charge MagicBand+ if you don’t have four — this charger can work with any four electronics that need to be charged via USB ports, still saving you lots of space.
A Fan That’s Tiny But Mighty
There are lots of mini fans out there on the market, and we’ve certainly tried lots of them. The JISULIFE Handheld Mini Fan is what’s reigned supreme for us, because while it’s small enough to fold up and fit in your pocket easily, it’s powerful with three different settings. It also acts as a flashlight and a portable charger, saving more space in your bag!
Never Lose Items in Your Loungefly Again
We love Loungefly bags, don’t get us wrong, but we can’t tell you the number of times we’ve accidentally lost items in what feels like the abyss at the bottom of the bag, especially if it’s nighttime, or you’re in a dark queue and can’t see. Grab yourself the HOYOFO Mini Backpack Organizer to make sure you can find everything you need easily.
Grab A Great Read For Your Travels!
Whether you’re traveling soon and need a great book to read or you’re stuck at home without a trip coming up soon and need to relive the magic, the Disney Adults book is a great addition to your bookshelf! Tons of you grabbed this book this year (and we’re very grateful!) and really enjoyed it, so if you haven’t grabbed yours yet, now is a fantastic time to grab it and make it one of your first reads of 2026.
A Portable Charger That Won’t Let You Down
Having a good, reliable portable charger is incredibly important for your travels, and we’ve found ourselves to be very happy with the INIU Portable Charger. Lots of you have felt the same way, and now we all feel relieved and confident that we’ll be able to keep our phones fully charged to take all the photos and videos we’d like on our trip, while also booking Lightning Lanes, mobile order food, and checking in for our dining reservations.
We’ll be sure to keep you updated on all the latest merchandise news that can help you on your next trip, so stay tuned to DFB!
