Sometimes the most random items from Amazon can become Disney World essentials!

Magic Kingdom
That’s exactly what happened with these elastic rubber bands! What seemed to be a random and frankly strange item to bring to Disney World turned into something that helped us in many different ways. We’re not going to gatekeep, because you may want to use these too!
Get these Strong Elastic Rubber Bands!
Take a look at these Band Joe x Cross Style Big Strong Elastic Rubber Bands! You can find them on Amazon in a five-pack, and they can be used for many different purposes. We instantly felt like these were worth the money once we brought them to Disney World. These were the biggest help for food and will be especially great if you’ve got kids or are someone who tends to be a bit clumsier with food. They’ll keep things like popcorn, chips, and other food from spilling out all over your bags and belongings. The multi-pack is great if you want to share, gift one, or just color coordinate your items.
They’re very simple to use, and it does the job effectively with minimal effort. The only annoying thing we encountered with them is that they’re a bit grippy. So, when you set them down on the ground, some of the gravel and things like hair tend to stick to the bands until you knock the debris off of them (which is easily done). When we put the band on containers, we had to take the handle off first, then wrap the band around it, then replace the handle. Also, if we wanted to snack on popcorn as we walked around, we had to really hold the top of the lid while we grabbed the popcorn and replace it quickly. Otherwise, the band would slip off, and we’d have to repeat the process to get the band back around the entire thing, which was a tad annoying.
It has its hiccups, but there’s no denying it’s super helpful and seems to be one of those things that once you get used to having it, it would be hard to do without it. It 100% made our trip easier, especially since we like to clip the popcorn buckets to the outside of our bag and save the room inside for our stuff. Again, aside from the tedious annoyances we mentioned, it was super convenient.
