6 Things That'll Make Your Flight to Disney World 10x Better

The flight to Disney World is basically the last obstacle standing between you and a churro.

Orlando International Airport

We get it, that flight can feel like the longest two to five hours of your entire trip, especially with a dead phone, a stiff neck, and a kid asking, “are we there yet?” for the 40th time. The right gear can turn that flight from miserable to actually kind of enjoyable. Here are SIX things that’ll make the journey way smoother before you even touch down in Orlando.

Your Phone Is About to Die Right When You Need It Most

FuelRod MAX10

Nothing’s worse than landing at MCO with 3% battery and zero way to pull up your Lyft confirmation or hotel reservation. Airports are notorious for hogging every outlet in sight, and airplane seats rarely have working ports either. The FuelRod MAX10 solves this before it becomes a problem. It comes fully charged out of the box with a 10,000mAh capacity, wireless charging that’s MagSafe compatible, and the ability to charge two devices at once. The best part is that if you run low, you can swap it for a fresh one at FuelRod kiosks all over the country, including several spots in the parks themselves. Note that the swappable stations in Disney World are free of charge, but other kiosks around the world may not be. Keep your phone alive for the whole trip by grabbing one before you head to the airport.

This Is the Reason You’ll Wake Up Without a Crick in Your Neck

Falling asleep upright on a plane sounds great in theory until your head bobbles around like a tiny bobblehead doll and you wake up sore. Standard U-shaped pillows rarely fit anyone comfortably, which is half the problem. But, the trtl Pillow Plus actually adjusts to your height, with toggles on the ribs that let you customize the support until it fits just right. Its internal structure keeps your neck in a proper position the whole flight, and the breathable mesh fabric means you won’t wake up sweaty either. Treat your neck right and check it out before your next flight.

Plane Cabins Are Always Either Freezing or Sweltering

There’s really no in between on an airplane — you’re either hot or cold. One minute you’re sweating, the next you’re shivering because someone blasted the air conditioning next to you. And packing a bulky jacket takes up valuable suitcase space you’d rather use for souvenirs. The Dreamsoft Travel Scarf solves this by acting as a scarf, wrap, or light blanket depending on what the cabin temperature throws at you. It’s made from 100% organic cotton, so it’s soft, breathable, and gentle on your skin, and it folds down small enough to stash in your bag without taking up real estate. Stay comfortable no matter what the thermostat says by picking one up before your next trip.

Trying to watch a show or scroll through your park itinerary while your phone keeps sliding around is annoying enough to ruin your flight. The PopSockets Phone Grip for MagSafe gives you a secure spot to prop your phone up hands free, and it snaps on and off in seconds thanks to its strong magnetic connection. It works as both a grip and a stand, so you can finally watch something without holding your phone the whole flight. Plus, the Disney-themed designs featuring Mickey and Minnie are a fun way to get into vacation mode early. Make your in-flight scrolling a little easier and grab one to not only use on your flight, but in everyday life!

Falling Asleep Upright Just Isn’t Working for You

If a traditional neck pillow hasn’t cut it for you in the past, you’re not alone. A lot of travelers struggle to actually fall asleep sitting up, no matter what pillow they try. The SARISUN Travel Pillow takes a different approach with a 360-degree design that wraps around your head and includes a built-in eye mask. Instead of relying on your chin and shoulders for support, it gently holds your head in place so you’re not jolting awake every time the plane hits turbulence. It also packs down small, so it won’t eat up your carry-on space. Give your sleep setup an upgrade and take a look at it before takeoff.

In Flight Entertainment Is Useless Without This One Thing

Plenty of seatback screens still only work with wired headphones, which is rough if you only travel with AirPods or wireless headphones. The Twelve South AirFly SE plugs into that 3.5mm jack and lets you connect your wireless headphones via Bluetooth in seconds. It holds a charge for over 20 hours, so it’ll easily outlast even the longest haul to Orlando, and it’s small enough to toss in any bag without a second thought. Finally watch something without untangling cords or having to buy wired headphones by grabbing one!
