You haven’t seen the worst of Disney World until you’ve been there in the summer… .
Cooling Towels are not optional in the summer
Will we still be there every day? Of course. Will we have all of these items in our bags every single time? Absolutely. Take a look at four of the best Disney summer essentials, so you’re ready to go on your upcoming vacation! Oh, and they are on sale!
Get our favorite poncho for Disney World at 41% off!
Frogg Toggs Poncho
You haven’t had the full Disney World experience until Florida weather completely tricks you. In the morning, it’s already 90 degrees and sunny. In the afternoon, even if the forecast said it would be clear yesterday, you’re stuck in a torrential downpour, walking through flooded pathways trying to make it to your next dining reservation. That’s where the FROGG TOGGS poncho comes in!
Frogg Toggs Poncho
This is our go-to because it keeps us dry in the wild weather and on water rides, but it doesn’t stick to us or feel like we’re wearing plastic wrap. Plus, it’s actually reusable — it’s not going to tear or ruin your bag, since it comes with its own holding bag
This Mini Fan does it ALL.
JISULIFE Handheld Mini Fan
It’s a fan! It’s a charger! It’s a flashlight!
No, it’s all of the above! This 3-in-1 handheld item has everything you need to survive a park day this summer. The fan provides just enough relief from the heat, and it barely takes up any room in your park bag. This isn’t our favorite portable charger (we’ll get into that more below), but it still works in a pinch!
We love the INIU Portable Charger
INIU Portable Charger
Looking for a slim portable charger that will keep your phone full of juice all day? Enter the INIU Portable Charger. It’s ultra-fast, just like the chargers that come with newer phones nowadays, charging an iPhone 17 to 76% in just 30 minutes. Put your phone on this charger for a meal, and you’ll be fully recharged to book Lightning Lanes, Mobile Order food, and get into your Disney World hotel room!
Or, you can grab this 4-pack of cooling towels for under $13
Sukeen 4 Pack Cooling Towel
There’s a reason you’ll see these around everyone’s necks in Disney World this summer. That’s because cooling towels are one of the easiest cooling products to use over and over again! You just wet the towel, wring out the excess water, shake it a few times, and toss it around your neck. On top of staying hydrated, it’s important to cool yourself down and take breaks since so much of Disney World is outside, but these have become a staple in our park bags!
