As Disney reporters, we’re in the parks literally every day, so we know a thing or two about park essentials.
Here are five essentials we can’t live without, and once you start bringing them to the parks, you won’t go back!
INIU Portable Charger
This is the slimmest portable charger we’ve found. We love that we can tuck it into the pockets of our backpack and leave the cord hanging or hold it with our phone and not feel the thickness. We’re always taking photos and videos everywhere we go, so this is a must!
Mini Backpack Organizer Insert
We love our Loungefly bags as much as anyone, but when you’re constantly changing out your bag to match a different park or outfit, switching out all of those essentials can get annoying. We love this organizer, where we keep all of our standard supplies, and we can just switch out the insert for each bag. Game changer!
Ultra-Lite Waterproof Breathable Rain Poncho
Even as Florida locals, we don’t always understand the weather, but we do understand that afternoon rain showers during the summer are no joke. This poncho folds up super small to fit in our backpacks and is still lightweight, so we aren’t bogged down with the heat. When the storm is over, we fold it back up and tuck it back in our bags!
4 Pack Cooling Towel
On top of the rain, Orlando is known for the heat, but these are a real life saver. All you need to do is dip them in cold water (we like using ice water we get for free at quick-service restaurants) and place them around your neck or waist. When you’re waiting in one of those gnarly outdoor queues, you’ll be thanking yourself for throwing these in your bag last minute.
HOKA Women’s Bondi 9 Sneaker
Because we’re on our feet all day, we know the best park shoes and HOKAs are always our go-tos. We love the cushion on the soles and how we can get a basic color to match our outfits while still providing maximum comfort. Trust us, we’ve tried every shoe out there, and HOKAs remain in our top.
Having a full park day on vacation can be overwhelming but these five items make those long days so much easier! Keep following Disney Food Blog for all of our favorite Disney essentials.
