We are in the Disney parks every day, so we’re sharing the essentials you actually need!

Fuel Rod and adapters
Disney days are long, hot, and tiring — having the right essentials to make your day easier is important. We test Disney essentials in the parks and at the Disney hotels to let you know what’s worth your time and money. Here are seven Disney park essentials we’ve tried out that are available now.
Get this mini handheld fan to keep you cool!
Featuring a fan, flashlight, and a backup power bank, the JISULIFE pocket fan is your summer go-to essential for staying cool on hot days while offering versatile functionality to meet all of your Disney World needs! With up to 19 hours of cooling time on a single charge, this mini handheld fan ensures you stay refreshed during travel, concerts, and outdoor adventures, and is rechargeable by USB.
This flat plug power strip makes hotel stays easier!
This Power Strip has 3 outlets, 2 USB-A ports, and 2 USB-C ports. You can easily turn one hotel outlet into three. Plus, it charges up to 7 devices with the USB ports – charge your cellphone, laptop, tablet, earphones, camera, and more all at once! We love the length of the cord as well as how easy it is to pack!
We love this reusable poncho for the parks!
The Frogg Toggs Ultra Lite 2 Poncho stays comfortable. Constructed with an outer layer that provides waterproof and breathable protection and an inner layer that remains soft next to skin, it’s a must-have at Disney World during the rainy season. It comes in a convenient carrying pouch that will keep your other items dry, and is reusable, so you can use it for whatever you might need beyond Disney World!
Be sure to grab this Bagsmart travel bag!
These Portable Hanging Travel Shelves help us stay organized in the hotel room. These can hold shoes, pants, shirts, belts, and other accessories easily, and you can hang them right on the doorframe. It’s an easy way to ensure all your clothes are in one place, and you can avoid having to walk out into the room in a towel or ask someone to bring you your clothes. Plus, Disney World hotel bathrooms do NOT have any tables or shelves, so this gives your clothing a safe place to rest while you shower.
Don’t forget this MagicBand+ multicharger for your devices!
This lightweight and travel-friendly USB-A multi-charger is designed specifically for charging up to 4 MagicBand+ devices simultaneously, or a smartphone and 3 MagicBand+ bands. That makes it perfect for “hotel rooms with limited outlets, this multi-charger allows you to charge all your MagicBand+ devices and phones using just one outlet, freeing up space for other electronics during your Disney vacation.
The only reusable charger you’ll need in the Disney parks!
FuelRods come fully charged and ready to use with adapters and cables for most smart devices, and the ability to SWAP instantly for a fully charged Rod at any FuelRod Kiosk around Disney World. FuelRod is also rechargeable with any USB adapter and fits easily in your pocket, making it the perfect Disney and travel companion.
And finally, the megababe chafing stick!
Trust us, you won’t regret bringing this small stick with you to Disney World. Save your thighs from chaffing while you do all that walking around the parks. You’re likely going to put on over 10 miles of walking a day, and this anti-friction stick will save you from tons of discomfort!
