It’s never too early to stock up on Disney World essentials!
I’m the type of Disney adult that’s up at 5 AM making Advance Dining Reservations, comparing hotel prices like it’s my full-time job (well, it kind of is!), and making a spreadsheet to help plan our entire itinerary seven months before we go on the trip. That also means I’m the type of Disney adult that saves every essential I need for my next trip and waits until a huge sale drops to buy them! Thanks to the huge deals for Amazon’s Black Friday event, that’s exactly what I did, and I’m sharing DFB’s favorite park finds with you now!
Get the FROGG TOGGS Poncho 41% off
This has been a lifesaver in the parks for many of our reporters! Regular ponchos in the humid Florida weather get so sticky and moist, but not with FROGG TOGGS. The material is breathable, and we love that it comes with its own bag so it doesn’t get the rest of our stuff wet when we’re done with it. You may think something this amazing comes at an unreasonable cost…but it doesn’t! Snag it for 41% off right now.
This INIU Charger keeps your phone on, even after hours on the Disney World app.
Phones have become pretty impressive when it comes to battery life, but if you plan to be out in Disney World all day, you’re going to need backup. That’s where a portable charger comes in, and the INIU one is slim, so it doesn’t take up too much room in your park bag. Charge three devices at one time — there is one USB-A slot and two USB-C slots.
We love the Stanley IceFlow for keeping us hydrated!
One of the biggest tips we give to first-time Disney World visitors is to NOT buy bottled water. Bring your own and fill up at one of the many water fountains or water bottle refill stations around the park! We recently tested five different water bottles in the parks to find our favorite, and we loved this Stanley. It’s compact enough to fit in a water bottle sleeve on a backpack, and it keeps ice and water cool for hours. A bunch of colors are on sale now!
Or, you can grab this Mini Fan to help stay cool!
This may look like just a fan, but it’s actually so much more. Not only are the battery-operated fan blades there to keep you cool throughout the day, but this also acts as a portable charger AND flashlight.
Don’t forget a Power Strip!
Although the number of outlets per room has improved over the years, it may not be enough for all of the phones, smart watches, MagicBand+, iPads, computers, or any other tech you might bring. Each person typically comes with several devices, but you can charge them all in one place with a power strip like this! There are three regular outlets, two USB-A ports, and two USB-C ports in this one package.
Or try out the MultiCharger!
We’ve been using this for years, and it’s perfect if you still have several USB-A cords for your devices. You can charge several MagicBands or other devices all at the same time using this super compact tool. It will barely take up any room in your carry-on!
Don’t forget this game-changing Loungefly organizer!
Spending an entire day in Disney World requires many items. But if you don’t have any way to organize them, it turns into a 30-minute affair digging through your backpack to find a Band-Aid! That’s why we’re huge fans of the Loungefly organizer. It fits a ton of stuff and keeps everything in its place. This is rarely on sale, so grab it at a discount while you can!
And finally, the Backpack Spacer is the newest essential you didn’t know you needed.
It may not look like much, but this Backpack Spacer made a world of difference in Disney World. It’s usually used for biking, hiking, and other outdoor activities, and it’s meant to provide ventilation to your back. We’ve all been there — the backpack sweat stains cover the entire back of your shirt — but this can save you from that discomfort and embarrassment.
We’re always on the hunt for the latest and greatest Disney souvenirs and essentials, so don’t forget to stay tuned to the Disney Food Blog for more!
