Here are some of our favorite items to tackle all the food booths and the Florida heat with ease!
Our team at Disney Food Blog is Disney experts. We’re constantly in the parks and trying out the best new gadgets to make our park days even better. So when we saw this neck fan, we had to try it.
Neck fans
Long gone are the days of carrying a fan in your hand all day long. We tried two different neck fans, which stay on your neck like a necklace to keep you cool all day long. These sounded so convenient, but are they worth it? Let’s find out!

If you’re a Disney pin trader, you already know the struggle.
Pin Board
You’ve got pins crammed in a random pouch, scratching against each other, and trading is a whole production. Well, good news! Amazon has a couple of new essentials that the pin trading community is absolutely obsessing over right now, and they’re worth every penny.
We’ve stayed at EVERY single Disney World hotel, and by now, we know the ins and outs of them ALL.
Caribbean Beach Resort
While not all Disney World hotels are created equally, they do all feature many of the same amenities — or lack thereof, depending on where you’re staying. So, you can trust us when we say that you should NEVER do these four things in your Disney World hotel room.
If you’ve never been to an ALDI, you are really missing out. First, the food options are EXCEPTIONAL (with amazing prices to match). But what keeps us going back to ALDI every week are the travel essentials and Disney souvenirs.
ALDI
Yes, you can stock up on Disney souvenirs at ALDI that will cost you far less than what you would pay buying them almost anywhere else. Well, go ahead and plan an ALDI trip for next week, because new Disney souvenirs are on their way on March 18th through March 24th. Pro tip: go on a Wednesday because that’s when ALDI finds are generally restocked (although some stores restock on Sundasy, so always find out what day that happens on!).
Packing for a Disney park day sounds simple until you’re standing at the bag check, realizing you brought something you’re not allowed to have.

Disney’s bag rules are no joke, and Cast Members at the park entrances are absolutely enforcing them in 2026. Whether you’re a first-timer or a seasoned annual passholder, it’s worth taking a few minutes before you head out to make sure your bag is good to go. We’ve rounded up the key rules Disney has on the books right now so you can pack smarter and skip the stress at security.
Alright, I’ll admit it. I lost my MagicBand+ charger. Look, I have a lot of cords and cables to keep track of, and they all look the same. I’m a writer, not an IT expert. But I had a trip to Disney World planned, and it didn’t hit me until I started packing (the night before I left…don’t judge me) that my MagicBand charger was missing, therefore making my MagicBand+ (basically) useless.

But then I thought to myself, “No biggie! I’ll just buy another charger when I get to Disney World.” Oh boy, was I wrong.
When you’re headed to Disney World, there are A LOT of different bags on the market you can bring. Or, perhaps, you’re just wanting to grab one you’ve already got at home, since you’ve already spent so much money on the vacation itself.
ODODOS Daily Sling Bag
We’ve tried out tons of different bags in the parks, and keep our eyes peeled to see what other guests around Disney World are using as well. What we’ve noticed is that there’s a big group of people who prefer to use crossbody bags, and another group that feels backpacks are the only way to go. So, which is better? We’ve done our research and asked our team of experts what they think, and their answers? Well, it may not be what you think!
Even if you’re used to walking around for hours at a time every day, there is something different about a trip to Disney World. Maybe it’s carrying theheavy backpack with everyone’s water bottles and souvenirs in it, or the bright, humid, Florida weather, but more likely than not, your feet are going to hurt at the end of your trip — especially if you choose the wrong shoes.
