Disney4me Posted Monday at 07:00 PM Report Posted Monday at 07:00 PM If there is one thing Disney World has taught us, it’s that the margin of error between “BEST DAY EVER!” and “I would like to return to my hotel immediately” can be surprisingly small. Hello from EPCOT! Sometimes it’s a dead MagicBand+. Sometimes it’s a backpack slowly cooking your back. Sometimes it’s realizing the people in the hotel room next door have decided 1AM is the perfect time for a spirited family discussion. That’s why we’re always testing Disney World essentials, and right now, several of the ones we’ve used ourselves are on sale at Amazon.

We’re all in that same boat of device-dependency. Phones. Portable chargers. Watches. Fans. MagicBand+ chargers. And they all require an outlet! Charging Station for MagicBand+ That’s why we’ve become fans of this MagicBand+ charging station. It lets you charge up to FOUR MagicBand+ devices at once instead of bringing individual charging cables for everyone in your group. Charging our MagicBand We did find during our testing that getting the bands situated on the charger can take a little fiddling, so this isn’t a completely flawless solution. But once everybody’s bands are parked for the night, you have one charging station doing the work of four. For families using MagicBand+ throughout their trip, that is one less cable nest to excavate every morning. view ON AMAZON Shark ChillPill 3-in-1 Fan, Mist and Cooling Plate We have tested enough portable fans at Disney World to qualify for some sort of unofficial degree in Florida Heat Management. And the Shark ChillPill is an interesting one. It combines a fan, misting function, and cooling plate in one portable device. During our testing, we weren’t blown away by every feature. The fan wasn’t as powerful as some larger options we’ve tried, and we barely noticed the mist. Shark Chill Pill But that cooling plate? That’s a new level of genius. It gets surprisingly cold, and pressing it against the back of your neck when Disney World has turned into one enormous outdoor sauna feels fantastic. Shark Chill Pill Fan This is normally one of the pricier cooling gadgets we’ve tested, so a sale is a much better time to add it to your park bag. view ON AMAZON Dreamegg Portable White Noise Machine We’ve talked about this thing a lot, and for good reason. Disney World hotel rooms can be wonderful places to collapse after walking 25,000 steps. They can also come with hallway conversations, toilets flushing next door, doors slamming, kids discovering the exciting acoustic properties of hotel corridors, and the occasional neighbor whose indoor voice never made it to Florida. Dreamegg Portable Travel White Noise Machine The Dreamegg Portable White Noise Machine is tiny enough that we don’t mind sacrificing suitcase space for it. It has 16 sounds, 35 volume levels, a timer, and USB-C charging. This is one of those Disney World purchases that doesn’t feel particularly exciting while you’re packing. At 12:47AM, when somebody outside your room is loudly debating tomorrow’s Lightning Lane strategy? Now, you’re glad you have (and that it has those 35 volume settings!). view ON AMAZON VentaPak Lightweight Ventilation Backpack Spacer Let’s discuss the dreaded Disney World Backpack Back. You know it. You remove your backpack after several hours in the parks and discover that Florida’s newest unexplored swamp area has been growing between your back and your bag. VentaPak Lightweight Ventilation Backpack Spacer We tested the VentaPak for months, and this strange-looking little contraption won us over. It attaches to your backpack and creates a gap between the bag and your back, allowing air to circulate instead of letting your backpack sit directly against you all day. We also found that it helped redistribute the weight of our bag across our back. Look at that air flow! There are trade-offs. You’ll need to tighten your backpack straps to get the best fit, and it can make your bag slightly more annoying to take on and off. But if you carry a backpack around Disney World from rope drop until somebody starts sweeping you toward the exit, we’d argue that reducing the swamp situation happening behind you is a pretty compelling benefit. view ON AMAZON BAGSMART Travel Toiletry Bag This BAGSMART bag has reached “DFB recurring character” status. We’ve used it ourselves, and it keeps showing up in our packing recommendations for one reason: it holds a LOT without turning your toiletries into one enormous pile. BAGSMART Travel Toiletry Bag It has multiple compartments to separate makeup, skincare, brushes, toiletries, and all the other little things that somehow multiply the second you start packing for vacation. There are mesh pockets, elastic straps, and a waterproof section that can help contain wet items or products you’re worried might leak. BAGSMART Travel Toiletry Bag And because the bag opens wide, you don’t have to perform an archaeological dig every time you need the sunscreen that has inevitably migrated to the bottom. If you’re still traveling with three cosmetic bags, two plastic bags, and one bottle of shampoo wrapped in a prayer, this might be the upgrade. view ON AMAZON We’ve tested these products, packed them, carried them through the parks, and brought several of them back on subsequent trips. And when the things we already recommend drop in price, that’s when we’re paying attention. 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! View the full article Quote
