Add this waist fan to your cart!
Those summer days in Florida can get HOT, and it’s always nice to be prepared with something that will cool you off, including this Rechargeable Waist Fan! This fan simply clips onto a belt loop and pushes air upward, so not only will it keep your whole body cool, but it’ll also keep your energy up!
AMKEN Waist Fan
This is one of our favorite items to bring with us to the parks, especially on those crowded festival days. There are six speeds, so you can adjust the air to your liking. And the best part? It’ll keep you cool ALL. DAY. LONG! It has a 35-hour battery life, so no need to worry about sweating your day away at the Disney parks!
This lightweight sling bag is a must!
Let’s be real — with so many items to try at the festival, you’ll have your hands full! And the answer to that isn’t a big, bulky bag that’ll weigh you down the whole day. This Sling Bag With Adjustable Straps is perfect to bring with you on your next festival day!
Easy to organize!
There’s honestly SO much space in this bag, it’s crazy! You’ll be able to fit all of the essentials in this bag: sunscreen, utensils, hand sanitizer, a phone charger, sunglasses, and SO much more. It features two exterior zipper pockets and a front open pocket that’s large enough to fit a water bottle, so instead of worrying about carrying your water bottle, you can worry about carrying those festival foods!
We can’t go without this water bottle!
Speaking of water bottles, you’ll need a good one to bring with you because, say it with me — YOU NEED TO STAY HYDRATED! One of our favorites to bring is the Disney-Inspired Owala Water Bottle. The water bottle is subtle enough that it doesn’t scream “I’M A DISNEY ADULT!” while keeping your drinks ice cold all day!
We love Owalas!
There are so many different options to choose from including Disney Princesses Ariel, Rapunzel, and Moana, Star Wars characters Darth Vader and the Mandalorian, and Marvel characters Iron Man, Loki, and Captain America (and there’s so many more, but if I were to list them all, we’d be here for a while). This stainless-steel water bottle is made with double-wall insulation to keep drinks cold for up to 24 hours. You also have the option to sip through the straw or tilting back and drinking from the opening.
And don’t forget about a tray!
Yes, we decorated ours and you have the option to decorate yours, too! But what’s most important about this Food Tray is the amount of food it carries! Trust us, we’ve showed up to a food booth, ordered everything on the menu, and had to balance two drinks, three plates, and a handful of napkins until we found a trash can table. Don’t be this person — be prepared!
Get a food tray!
This food tray comes in so many different colors and is so helpful when trying to juggle everything you bought at the nearest food booth! It also makes the food taste 10x better knowing you weren’t going to drop it. AND it’s under $5 — the deal of a lifetime!
You’ll need to charge your phone!
Dear FuelRods, thank you for being our small yet powerful best friend. This portable phone charger is unlike none other, especially in Disney World. The FuelRod Max10 provides wireless charging — just stick it to the back of your phone and you’re good to go! Not into the Max10? Grab the FuelRod Rod Pack of Two! These kits come with every phone charger attachment, so you’ll be good to charge it no matter the phone type you have!
FuelRod MAX10
The best part about having these in Disney World is the exchange stations around the parks and resorts! Did you FuelRod die in the middle of the day? No worries — you can find the nearest exchange station on the My Disney Experience app, and it’ll pop out a fully charged one FOR FREE! Note that these exchange stations are only free in Disney World, so if you found a station at the airport, you’ll more than likely have to pay! But you can also recharge them at home using a USB-C cord!
Don’t turn into a lobster!
Make no mistake, the Florida sun is no joke, even if you think you’re safe on a cloudy day — it’ll sneak up on you! So definitely grab yourself some sunscreen, but not just any kind of sunscreen…grab the Supergoop! (Re)setting Face Powder with SPF 35! Not only does it protect you from the sun, but it also sets your makeup for the day! So yes ladies, you don’t have to worry about your makeup sweating off or looking oily with this magic sunscreen!

There are four different color shades to choose from, so it’s perfect for every skin tone and every skin type! After applying your makeup, simply brush the (Re)setting Powder generously over your face to set the look. And be sure to continue to use it throughout the day to reduce shine and strengthen your protection!
No need to worry about those Disney germs!
With so many people going to Disney World every day, there’s bound to be germs everywhere you go and on everything you touch. That’s why it’s important to carry hand sanitizer with you, specifically this Mickey Mouse Touchland Hand Sanitizer and Case! Since it’s a spray sanitizer, it won’t get messy and all over the place when you try to get some out!
Touchland and Disney Hand Sanitizer + Mist Case
And the best part is the case that comes with it! It’s both stylish and easy to use since it comes with a clip, so you can hook it onto your bag or belt loop. It also will keep your hands moisturized with aloe vera and essential oils, leaving your hands sanitized, hydrated, and delicately scented. We said, “not today, germs!”
You can’t eat without utensils!
Let’s channel our inner Animal Kingdom environmentalists and save nature one step at a time by purchasing this Travel Utensils Set instead of grabbing a new fork every time you get food at a new booth! You can purchase one or multiple depending on your party size, but it’s perfect for those on-the-go festival days!
Reusable Travel Utensils Set
Each set comes with a spoon, fork, and knife, and it’s all packed together nicely in a carrying case! And they’re dishwasher safe, so when you’re done, there’s no need to worry about having to wash them by hand!
We’ve got you covered for all of your festival day needs, so be sure to remember all of these items for your next trip! And while you’re at it, check out all of these other amazing items you could use on your next trip HERE!
