Being in Disney World every day means we’ve pretty much gotten it down to a science. One way we can have a smooth trip is by figuring out what you need to pack that are actually essentials vs. what everyone just tells you to buy.
Here are three essentials you can grab on Amazon right now that will make your next trip so much easier. From battery packs you can keep fully charged, to a rain poncho you’ll be thanking yourself for packing, heed our warning and grab these while you can!
You need these Rain Ponchos.
We can’t stop talking about these because we truly love them. If you’re coming to Disney World, it’s likely going to rain at some point during your trip, and if you’re coming during the summer, it might happen EVERY day. While there are plastic “trash bag” like ponchos available in gift shops around Disney World, or you might have a heavy-duty raincoat at home, these ponchos are perfect for Florida.
These ponchos are lightweight and breathable because Florida can also get hot. They fold up easily, and you can throw them in your backpack so you’re prepared for the next storm. When the rain comes, you don’t want to stop your vacation to find ponchos, spend a ton of money on them, and then have to throw them away at the end of the day just to do it all over again the next day. We reuse these all the time, and they make life so much easier.
Don’t forget to grab a FuelRod Battery Pack!
These are essential during your trip. While we all love the idea of putting our phones down and being in the moment, from booking your next Lightning Lane, taking pictures, making dining reservations, pulling up a map, and so much more, your phone battery might drain faster than you’re expecting. While you might have your own battery packs at home, let me tell you why FuelRods are something I can’t live without.
What’s so incredible about these is that you can swap your dead packs for fully charged ones for FREE around Disney World. And even at some airports!! Yep, that means if you run out of charge, all you need to do is find the closest station, swap it out for free, and you’re on your way to the next gorgeous photo opportunity. I use these every single time I go to Disney World, and while you can buy them in the parks, it can be more expensive than buying them ahead of time. Do yourself a favor and grab them while you’re thinking about it, so you’re prepared for your next trip.
We also love this Handheld Mini Fan.
While Florida loves to rain, it also loves to be HOT. Depending on where you’re from, you might not be used to the brutal heat along with the sticky humidity. This little fan has saved the day more than once! It’s so small that you won’t notice the weight in your backpack, but when you need that little bit of coolness, this is going to help. It might be small, but it packs a punch!
When it’s just too hot to handle, we pull it out and turn on the fan. We’ll hold it in line for rides or characters, set it up while we’re eating our snacks, and even keep it close by while we’re just walking around the parks. It also doubles as a power bank when you need a bit more charge. It also has 12 to 19 hours of cooling, so you won’t have to worry about running out of battery during the day.
We’ve tried these Disney essentials, and we truly use them every day. Make sure you keep following Disney Food Blog for more tips and tricks to help survive your next Disney World vacation — we’re in the parks every day sharing the best advice with you!
