There are so many Disney World essentials that we pack for our park days. We need things like our perfect water bottle, sunscreen, sunglasses, and more to ensure that our day is comfortable and fun!

AMKEN Waist Fan
While there are a lot of “essentials” online, we try to keep our park bag necessities light so we only take what we ACTUALLY use. After putting this latest fan to the test for nearly a year, we can firmly say we won’t go to Disney World without it.
There are days when it feels like you are standing on the face of the sun, but it turns out, you’re actually in Disney World. Some spots are better than others, but if you’ve ever been in the Slinky Dog Dash line in the middle of the day, you understand exactly what we mean. That’s why we feel especially passionate about this waist fan!
AMKEN Waist Fan
This fan is the epitome of small but mighty! The AMKEN waist fan has been a staple in our theme park life for nearly a year and for good reason. This rechargeable fan can attach to your waistband, it can rest around your neck, or it can rest on a table to help cool you off.
This fan is great for anyone who wants to cool themselves off during a hot day while still being hands-free. This fan has some serious power in it! We’ve used it for hours during truly hot days, and it has almost made us cold at different points in the day. In our experience, it can run on high for 4 hours without turning it off once, and we did that to test its full strength. Typically, we use it on and off throughout the day as needed.
We love that it can run on 3 different cooling speeds to adjust to your specific needs at any time. This is great for parents, grandparents, kiddos, and more at any time of the year. It’s not silent by any means, but it isn’t super noticeable when we use it.
This fan packs a serious punch, AND it’s on sale at the time of writing. We couldn’t speak more highly of it if we wanted to.
This is a great deal, it’s not overly bulky, and it works well! It’s easily one of our favorite fans we’ve ever used in the parks.
