If you have a trip to Disney World coming up, we need to tell you about a problem we face that isn’t talked about enough!
Magic Kingdom
Days at Disney World consist of lots of walking…and then more walking…and MORE walking. With all of the walking, those annoying blisters start to pop up. We’ve tried many methods to help, but we’ve found that the best way to go about them is using a select few of Band-Aids on Amazon. You should bring at least one of these with you on your Disney vacation!
Disney World trips are magical, but let’s be real: they’re also incredibly hot.
The AMKEN Waist Fan

It’s called the AMKEN Waist Fan, and yes, it’s exactly what it sounds like. It’s a fan you clip right to your waistband, and it’s become one of our absolute favorite Disney World accessories.
