We’re in Disney World every single day, and that means we’ve learned what items are VERY helpful to have on your trip, as well as what items may be best to leave at home.
It’s part of our job to test out these “essentials” so we can tell you if they’re really worth your time and money, or if you’ll regret having them with you. Recently, we tried out THREE new items in the park that, in our opinion, will absolutely make your trip easier — be sure to snag them before you leave on your next vacation!
Minnie Ears That Don’t Break The Bank
Here’s the thing — we love Minnie ears as much as the next person, but paying an arm and a leg for each pair, especially if you’re buying a pair for everyone in your family, gets expensive VERY fast. Not to mention that sometimes those ears aren’t the most comfortable. They press against your head and give you a headache after just wearing them for a few hours, but the ODOCARE Handmade Mouse Ears Headband? That’s not the case! These are genuinely comfortable without being too loose, and many people rave that they can wear them all day with no discomfort. Affordable and great quality? Yes, please!
Keep All Your Pins Safe!
There’s nothing worse than bringing your pins into the park on your bag, only to stress all day about them falling off. No matter how strong the backs are, sometimes it’s just not worth the stress! If you want to carry them around to be able to pin trade without fear, we recommend the PinFolio Go Pin Display Bag. This is small enough to fit into your larger bag, has a protective divider to avoid scratching, and has a pocket on the back to keep additional pins in, if needed.
Keep Your Kiddos Cool
Got some little ones that will be in a stroller for the majority of the day, and want to make sure they stay cool? Look no further than the J.L. Childress Disney Baby Mickey Mouse Stroller Fan! This easily attaches to your stroller, can be maneuvered easily, and has three different speeds. In our experience, it held its charge all day, we loved the theming, and overall, we were super happy with it.
