You’re not gonna be proud to own every single Disney Parks essential that you use, but that doesn’t make them any less effective!
These essentials may not be the most flashy, visually appealing, or popular items you can bring with you to Disney World — but there’s no denying that they help. From keeping you cool to making sure you stay comfortable in the sticky theme park weather, these are some “embarrassing” essentials you should check out right now on Amazon!
Keep your shoes dry with this first souvenir
Are these Silicone Waterproof Shoe Covers the most stylish shoe accessory? Not exactly, but they really do the trick despite us having ZERO faith in them at first glance. We recommend sizing up to alleviate any discomfort from the zipper top — but rest assured that they actually work! If you’re hoping to keep your feet dry during a storm or not worry about a water ride, these do just fine (as long as you don’t leave a big gap at the top of the cover).
This hat looks odd, but it’s effective
The Outdoor Wide Brim Hat Fan will make you look like an alien, but it’ll keep you cool while you’re traversing the parks. There are two fans that can either work simultaneously or alternately, and they can easily be removed to charge or stored away in a bag. The fans can be charged via a cord or through solar power, and they work better in a cool environment — as they gather air from your environment.
This odd device is actually very useful
This Neck Cooling Tube is available in several different colors on Amazon, and we really like how easy it is to transport. Lightweight and dry, sometimes, this little tube cools us better than a neck fan or a cooling towel! You’ll want to cool it ahead of time or constantly dunk it in ice water, but when it works… wow, does it really work! We’ve used these during outdoor dining reviews and when going about our regular park days, and it’s been a lifesaver.
Prevent chaffing with this next souvenir
Chub-rub and chaffing aren’t the most fun things to talk about when discussing a Disney vacation — but they’re still important to acknowledge. We personally swear by Body Glide Anti-Chafe Balm, and it’s gotten us through what could have been some really tough times. You can use this stick to prevent and relieve hot spots on feet, and chafed, chapped, and cracked skin, and you can safely wash it off with soap at the end of the day. This is one of those items that is a MUST-HAVE for anyone worried about chaffing.
Choosing the right underwear is critical
Another taboo topic can be underwear, but keep in mind that Disney days are inherently uncomfortable, and every layer of clothing matters. This BAMBOO COOL Women’s Underwear Set is available in several different color combos and sizes, and is made with a bamboo/spandex material that’s breathable, moisture-wicking, and sweat-wicking. This set regulates temperature, and the elastic waistband provides comfort AND security. Comfort and practicality are crucial when it comes to long Disney days, and this set nullifies complications that could happen with the wrong pair of undergarments.
