Summer at Disney World is getting closer than you realize. You can already start to feel some of that summer heat from time to time.

Magic Kingdom
When it comes to going to Disney World in the summer, packing essentials can look a lot different. We’ve put together a list of the seven essentials you NEED this summer to help you avoid heat exhaustion.
Get this Rapunzel Owala
Owala is one of our favorite water bottle brands. They’re great to bring to Disney because of how much water they hold, their light weight, and the ability to sip it from the spout or the straw. It got even better when we saw this Rapunzel Owala water bottle! The 24-oz water bottle comes in the iconic princesses’ colors, and it has a floating lantern on it as well.
This JISULIFE Handheld Mini Fan
We recommend getting a JISULIFE Handheld Mini Fan for your next park day! You’ve probably seen us bring this up a few times, but we LOVE it! It’s a 3-in-1 USB rechargeable portable fan. It offers great cooling while you’re at the park, a power bank that can last 12-19 hours, and a flashlight.
We love the Portable Neck Fan
Another way we love to stay cool is the JISULIFE Portable Neck Fan! It can last up to 16 hours on a full charge, which can easily get you through a hot theme park day. DFB reporters have found it fairly easy to pack, and a great Disney day essential. Right now, you can get it for 18% off!
Or, you can grab this AMKEN Waist Fan
We love using the AMKEN Waist Fan at Disney World! It has three wind speeds depending on how much cooling you need. It’s great for everyday use. Outside of the parks, this actually makes for an amazing camping tool — it can act as an LED flashlight AND a power bank to charge your phone. It’s currently 17% off!
Don’t forget about this Mouse Misting Mini Fan
Another great device we use to stay cool is this Mouse Misting Mini Fan! The fan has three different speeds, plus it’s a fan with Mickey ears — how can you say no?! The fan is rechargeable with a USB-C charging cord included with it. The back stick rotates down so you can have a longer handle to it, and the button will work for the fan and mister.
There’s also this Mickey Stroller Fan
For all of you who are bringing kiddos to Disney World, this Mickey Mouse Stroller Fan is a great buy! Keep your child cool with this lightweight, clip-on fan featuring three speeds and 360-degree rotation for customized airflow on strollers. It also works in the car and other spots.
And finally, Neck Cooling Tube
Lastly, you need to check out this Neck Cooling Tube! This uses “innovative liquid plant Phase Change Material,” and these coolers freeze faster and last longer than water. The outer layer is “wrapped in Thermoplastic polyurethanes, so there is no need to worry about frostbite on the skin.” It’s the ideal way to keep cool.
