Because you deserve to be comfortable on a flight for once.
1. A molded sleep mask that will majorly come in handy if you're sensitive to light and find yourself needing to snooze on a plane (or anywhere, really). Best of all, it won't smoosh your little eyes, so you can stay comfy and hopefully fall asleep even faster.
Promising review:"This eye mask is perfect if you like to have total darkness when you sleep. It is so comfortable around my face, and the mask even comes with adjustable straps so you don't wake up with sleep lines. Included are cute earplugs enclosed in their own case and a silk drawstring bag to carry your things in. To add, I was also impressed with how aesthetically pleasing the packaging was. I totally recommend." — Bill Curtis
2. A digital luggage scale to ensure your baggage is in compliance with your airline's weight restrictions, avoiding some nasty fees in the process. Bring it along with you if you want to make sure you're good to go on the way home, too! All those souvenirs add up.
amazon.com
Promising review:"Used this twice for our vacations. Really easy to use and accurate, and it's digital. Our friends were so impressed they bought some too. You can change to kgs or lbs." — Maureen Flores
3. A handy packing list so it's easier than ever to keep straight exactly what needs to get thrown in a bag and what can stay behind. Your free-flowing to-do lists have been a good start, but this just may be the key to really dialing in your packing.
Amazon
Promising review:"I've been using packing lists for travel, camping, etc. for 40 years. That saves me from remembering to take my phone on a trip, but forgetting the charger or taking my camera and forgetting batteries. I compared this list to my own and found its got all my essentials on it, plus a few more things to think about. A great convenience when I can finally travel again." — Alaskaguy
4. An inflatable travel pillow for anyone FULLY committed to getting some ZZZs while en route via any mode of transportation. And if you fall asleep better while you're watching something, you can even tuck your phone inside and peek at it through the pillow's little window.
5. A travel wallet to keep all of your travel documents and cards in one handy place. No more checking every nook and cranny of your suitcase to make sure you have everything you need.
amazon.com
Promising review:"This is a great wallet! Fits all cards/passports/money comfortably. You can use this alone or as a wallet (which I personally do). It's perfect for travel also." — Lisa Michelle
6. A portable steamer so you can still look sharp if you're headed out of town for a work trip, wedding, or other special event. Now when you pull your dress out of your suitcase and see how wrinkled it is, there's no stress.
amazon.com
Promising review:"I bought this travel steamer for my wedding weekend. Usually, I just rely on an iron in a hotel when I travel, but for this trip, I was staying in a different country and in a private villa and wasn't sure if they'd have an iron available. This steamer heats up extremely quickly. I'd say about a minute and a half if I had to guess! It's powerful, and it doesn't spill or spit water on your clothes, which was my fear. It's very high quality. Obviously, keep it upright and don't turn it downwards, or you're gonna spill the water yourself, haha. It gets out wrinkles, but it doesn't give your clothes a perfect wrinkle-free look like pressing an iron would. You might have a couple of faded lines that remain, but it's not nearly as bad as the item would have looked without a steam. A significant improvement is made, no doubt! I love this, and I would definitely recommend it." — Talia
7. A travel duffel bag with a trolly sleeve to make it easy to carry along with a roller bag. Best of all it's small enough to count as a "personal item" on most planes, ensuring you have the perfect carry-on-only setup with as much room as possible.
Promising review:"This bag is perfect for vacation or anything else. I was looking for a bag that was durable and the perfect size for my birthday trip. It has lots of pockets for storage, and one of the pockets is waterproof. So, if you have important things to store, like your passport, this bag has you covered. I have a lot of stuff in it, but I didn't stuff it too much bc I didn't want the strap digging in my shoulder… I did add a few accessories to it that I also found on Amazon. Don't hesitate to buy this bag it is definitely worth the money. 💕" — by.lakisha
8. A pair of quick-dry water shoes for anyone whose only hangup about heading out on a tropical getaway is being skeeved out by their feet touching the bottom of the ocean. A little separation will let you relax.
www.amazon.com, www.amazon.com
Promising review:" Buy these, you will love them! I love to walk barefoot on the beach, but it isn't always the wisest decision. I read so many positive reviews and thought, why not? I got my first pair and fell in love with them. I don't have to wear my sandals and leave them at the bottom of the steps. I can walk on the pavement to the beach and across the parking lot. I loved them so much that I bought a pair for my husband, sister, friend and an extra pair for me. My husband was very skeptical, but he loved them, too. I would absolutely recommend these." — Lauren A. Eason
9. An in-flight phone mount so even if your seat isn't equipped with a screen, you can sit back, relax, and enjoy a show (without trying in vain to awkwardly balance your phone on your tray table).
Promising review:"I bought this nifty gadget about six months ago for a multi-leg, ultra-long-haul trip and it more than held up the entire duration. I was able to finagle it to fit the tray tables on different planes, and like others, I find the height just nice when clamped onto a stowed tray table. It also works on my roller carry-on handle during layovers. However, I find myself using it a lot outside of travel, too! Work-wise, I've clamped it onto my office desk shelving to hold my phone at eye level beside my computer. At home, I simply clamped it to a deck of cards, and it turned into a versatile stand that I could place on any flat surface. Heck, I've been using it to hold my phone comfortably at eye level while watching videos in bed. It's extremely well-built, and I find myself fidgeting with it all the time. Thus far, it still feels solid, and I don't anticipate breaking it any time soon. Even if it does break, I'll be happy to buy another one or two of it!" — Earendil
Price: $12.97+ (available in seven colors and various two-packs)
10. A six-piece packing cube set to keep your items as compact and organized as possible. I used to be skeptical of packing cubes at first but can confirm they help even the most disorganized of travelers (me) maintain some semblance of order.
Promising review:"Used these cubes about three times now. Currently packed for an upcoming trip in a week. Saves on space, and ladies, you can pack more clothes!!! Last trip to the Caribbean, I was able to get 13 outfits plus three bathing suits in one carry-on suitcase and still had room!!! I have always been skeptical about these until I tried them, and it's the only way to pack. So far, everything is still in one piece, and we have not had any issues with rips or broken zippers. Love them!!" — Aubrey M
11. A twistable memory foam pillow so you can get your head and neck in juuuuust the right spot to squeeze in a little nap on your next road trip, train ride, or flight.
Promising review:"Most travel neck pillows make me feel completely overwhelmed, and this is especially great for those with shorter necks. It gives you control, and once you get the positioning that you prefer, it is really comfortable and provides the right support in the right places. Also, (and this was a selling point in the beginning,) having used this on several long-haul flights, I loved that after each trip, I could easily unzip the cover and throw it in the wash." — ltny
12. A luggage-mounted cup caddy because chances are your hands are gonna be full no matter where or how you're traveling. No need to forego the tasty bev with this handy dandy invention around.
www.amazon.com
Promising review:"So handy. We travel all the time, and this is perfect for holding drinks while we are at the airport. Love it." — Bruce V. Hartley
13. And a waterproof pouch to allow you to keep your phone, cards, and even passport with you *while* you swim, thanks to its lanyard attachment.
It also comes with a lanyard so you can wear it around your neck.
Promising review:"This product is incredible. I purchased to use while in Key West for an iPhone 6, iPhone 6 plus, and Galaxy S6 Edge and it fits perfectly for each phone (but a little more snug with the iPhone 6 plus). It is completely waterproof and takes great photos and video through the case, but you have to press record prior to submerging the case underwater. My family went snorkeling and kept the case with the phone inside submerged almost the entire time and had no issues with leakage. My family and I got stopped numerous times being asked where we purchased this product. Perfect, even if you are just on the beach and you do not want to get sand or sunscreen on your phone and still want to take photos/text/browse the internet while on the beach. I will be purchasing this for everyone in my family as it has become a travel must-have! I highly recommend this product." — Amber Smith
14. A pair of SeaBands — it targets a pressure point on your wrist in order to help reduce nausea. According to reviewers they're worth trying whether you suffer car sickness, sea sickness, or any other travel tummy ailment.
www.amazon.com
The band applies pressure on the P6 acupressure point, which is said to help relieve nausea and vomiting.
Promising review:"I wished I tried this a long time ago. I used it on a 13-hour drive. Once at Disney World, I wore them for every ride, and it was the first time I did not get nauseous or sick. I was amazed. This is a must-have if you get car sick or can't ride rides at an amusement park." — Mimi145
15. A hanging toiletry bag you can put on the back of a door and roll down instead of spreading every single item out on a hotel counter. Honestly groundbreaking.
Promising review:"Seriously?! Do you see how much this holds?! Full shampoo bottles, face washes, hair brush... everything I could need or want to bring, FITS IN THIS ONE BAG! And it's so cute! Feels like great quality, too — all the hardware came with protective wraps to keep from scratching, and the zippers feel very hardy. The hook at the top is also VERY WELL-SECURED to the bag, it's double stitched to the top panel and almost feels like seatbelt material. And I love the extra pockets and netting inside. I would absolutely recommend this!" — mahea_c
16. An anti-blister balm so your feet stay in tip-top shape even as you hop, skip, and jump all around the exciting city you're visiting for the first time.
I use this stuff on my heels when backpacking and can confirm: it prevents blisters on my extremely blister-prone feet!
Promising review:"This works great! I have trouble finding sandals that don't in some way rub me wrong, and this stuff has come to the rescue. I apply it liberally to my ankles and toes — anywhere that tends to rub and get irritated, and it makes a huge difference! I'm able to wear a pair of sandals all day and well into the night that I normally wouldn't be able to wear past lunchtime. It is a great product, and much more versatile than moleskin or bandaids since this is invisible! I must say, when I misplaced this tiny little stick one day, I used my regular, large-sized body stick instead, and that also worked great on my feet, so I'm not sure if this foot formula is really that special, but it's not expensive so I'll give them the benefit of the doubt!" — MEG327
Price: $8.99
17. A portable door lock to give you a little extra manual assurance that your door can't be opened when you're staying in hotels or new places. Doesn't hurt to be sure!
amazon.com
Heads up that this may get flagged by TSA, so try to check it in your luggage if you're flying.
Promising review:"This simple gadget, makes a big difference for safety. Highly recommended. I travel to many places for work and this is ideal." — Harvey
18. A simple luggage strap that'll give you another spot to clip travel essentials like neck pillows, packable jackets, zippered pouches or anything else you'd rather transport hands free.
Amazon
Promising review:"I love this little gadget. I used it to attach my jacket and computer bag to my luggage on an extended business trip. It made my airport walks so much easier. Now that I'm back home, I've been using it daily to attach my jacket or cardigan to my work bag or purse." — Michele
19. A pack of soft silicone earplugs to help you drown out the late-night yammering at a hostel or strange new noises while you're staying at a hotel. Either way, night-night! You're gonna be sleeping sound.
Promising review:"These are the very best earplugs. Would not be without them. Because they are silicone, they fit well over the ear canal, stay in place, and make a huge difference in noise reduction. I take them everywhere as I'm a light sleeper. Tried MANY brands and these are by far the best. Excellent product." — Mareo
Check out our full review of Mack's earplugs for more details.
20. A 12-pack of face masks so you can keep your face hydrated before, during, and after your flight. Your skincare routine is so dialed in — it would be a shame for the drying air in an airplane to throw it out of whack.
amazon.com, amazon.com
Promising review:"Great value! Definitely a repurchase buy~. Plus you know when all the essence is FULLY absorbed because the layered sheet mask dries quickly allowing your face to be flooded with the serum which is quite different to the sticky gummy conventional ones e.g. rubbery ones I have used in the past." — song
Price: $13.20
21. A compact jewelry travel case to keep your most precious cargo neat, organized, and — most importantly — untangled.
Promising review:"This would be the perfect stocking stuffer!! I love mine and it held everything I needed. The dividers come out and can be a larger section if needed." — Rachel S
22. A rechargeable handheld fan aka a no-brainer for trips to hot locations and also for days spent at amusement parks. A Mickey-shaped ice cream bar will taste even better with a handheld breeze blowing on your face.
www.amazon.com
Promising review:"I have ZERO complaints!!! My sister got married outdoors and I decided I needed a fan as I sweat a lot. Suffice to say I LOVE IT! I was cool the entire time in the sun, it has a handle and is not too big which makes it easy to tag along any- and everywhere. You won't regret this purchase." — DIONNE HOOK
23. A pair of joggers to help you stay as comfortable as possible during long travel days. Imagine spending all day in a plane or car in anything less than the softest fabric. Couldn't be you.
Promising review:"I only write reviews when something really blows me away...and wow. These joggers are SO soft and comfy especially for the price! If you told me these were Lululemon I would believe you. I'm obsessed with these, I got two pairs! They are extremely stretchy material and the waistband stretches a lot but isn't too big. For reference I'm 5'7' and 150lbs. I normally wear a medium and sometimes large depending on how I want things to fit. I got a large with these because I wanted them to be a bit baggier versus skin tight. If you want them a little looser size up. 12/10 recommend!!!" — Amazon Customer
24. A portable charger because in this day and age, traveling and having your phone die on you can be a genuine safety concern. That's your credit card, ride home, ticket, map, reservation...everything! I've been rocking this Anker for years, and it's still going strong.
25. A universal travel adapter so you're never faced with an outlet you can't use when traveling internationally — a horrifying fact every traveler encounters at least once and vows "never again."
amazon.com
Promising review:"I am a digital nomad so I travel full-time around the world. I have a lot of devices to charge (laptop, Kindle, phone, backup battery, portable Wi-Fi device, camera, the list goes on). A lot of times hostel bunks or hotel rooms only have one outlet and with the previous adapter I was using, I had to charge one device at a time. I used to literally set my alarm to wake up in the middle of the night and switch devices so that I could get more than one device fully charged overnight. I did my research finally and settled on this one because it is universal and has four USB ports. What a GAME-CHANGER. On my latest trip I was able to charge all my devices at once and it made traveling so much smoother. It seems well made and good quality, too. Definitely recommend for my digital nomad and traveling peers. Happy travels! :)" — Maggie A
Price: $18.99+ (available in three colors)

Nurses, Podiatrists, and Travelers Love These Comfy Sneakers That Are ‘Just as Good' as Brooks—and They're $50

As a frequent flier, the most important part of my travel outfits is my footwear. Having comfortable shoes is crucial for keeping my feet supported and cozy while I'm navigating the airport or exploring a new city on foot. Usually, my go-tos are some cushy sneakers my podiatrist recommended, but a new, expert-approved style caught my eye after reviews said they're 'just as good' as a pair of the celeb-loved Brooks. The Asics Gel-Excite 9 Running Shoes have become a popular pick from Amazon's fashion store because of their similarity to Brooks in terms of comfort, arch support, and style. And, right now, you can score the walking sneakers for $50. Shoppers keep saying that these are the most comfortable shoes, comparing them to 'walking on a cloud.' The thoughtful design includes an engineered jacquard mesh upper that's soft and breathable, and the brand's special Ortholite sockliner, which helps absorb sweat, so your feet can stay cool and comfy while you're running to your gate or exploring outdoor summer markets. One reviewer, who has tried Hokas, On, and Brooks, confirmed that these are 'better than more expensive brands.' They wrote, 'I always come back to Asics Gel.' It's understandable considering the shoes have plush insoles with arch support and proprietary technology that makes your feet and shoes work together to reduce joint soreness. Nurses can even attest to how comfortable the sneakers are: one wrote, ' These have enough support and cushion to last my entire 12-hour shift.' Another added that they look stylish and the cushioning is "fantastic." Plus, a 56-year-old traveler added that they walked for 16 hours at Disney and their feet felt great. You won't have to worry about an uncomfortable break-in period either; they're 'super comfortable all day,' right out of the box, per one shopper. You can choose from 15 different colors, including navy blue, as well as a trendy, eye-catching coral. Snag the popular Asics walking shoes while they're still in stock for $50, and check out more options on sale from the brand at Amazon. Love a great deal?

Amazon's Top-rated Cooling Clothes Will Help You Beat the Heat This Summer—Shop the 11 Best Finds From $15

Outfits that are both comfortable and stylish to wear in extreme heat are hard to find. As a native Floridian and Orlando resident, I'm always on the lookout for smart cooling clothing that I can wear in the Sunshine State when temperatures reach scorcher levels (think: 95 degrees Fahrenheit and higher), and out on my trips as a travel writer. If you're packing for hot locales, like a Caribbean cruise or a Mediterranean summer, opt for clothes that are breathable, quick-drying, and lightweight to wear (bonus points if they offer UPF sun protection). To find this trifecta of comfort, you have to read some labels and learn a little about different fabrics (nylon and polyester are renowned for their moisture-wicking properties, while linen is preferred for its lightweight construction). But perhaps the most important thing to remember is to pack light, as in bright colors closer to the color spectrum of white (i.e., tan, beige, creme, or taupe). When you're outdoors in the sun, dark colors absorb more light and heat energy than lighter colors and will make you feel hotter faster. And, when possible, stash a mini portable fan in your bag so you can always catch a cool breeze. From head to toe, these are the 11 best cooling clothes and accessories for summer travel. They'll keep you feeling fresh and comfortable, no matter how high temperatures soar this summer, and they're all available at Amazon. Your first line of defense against the hot sun starts with your head. Usually, baseball caps sit snug to your head and act like an insulator, quickly leading to a sweaty head, but this innovative one features a unique water-absorbing fabric weave and a hollow core to store and spread water throughout the hat so you're always refreshed. For extra protection for your face and shoulders, I prefer a wide-brim hat like this crushable visor from Amazon. It keeps your face out of direct sunlight while letting heat escape from your scalp. It's also a great style for keeping hair from getting sweaty and smushed. It might seem backward, but having handy layers for hot weather will help you feel more comfortable. A white button-down keeps the sun off your arms. It's also useful when visiting locations where dress codes require covering your shoulders, like churches or temples. This button-down is lightweight and perfect for summer. The oversized cut allows for plenty of breathing room for a breeze. Wear this with shorts, pants, or over a dress. Lightweight linen is a great fabric for hot weather because it's breathable. Made of flax fibers, linen is a natural, ancient textile used for centuries, and is known for its durability. Linen's greatest downfall, however, is its tendency to wrinkle, which can be a nuisance for travelers. To solve this problem, look for linen blends . For example, the pants in this Amazon-loved matching set are blended with rayon, and the addition of a synthetic blend helps them dry faster than if they were just linen alone. Plus, the breezy tank top and relaxed fit of the pants will keep you cool in the heat. A versatile pair of shorts should be in your bag for any warm-weather trip. In hot climates, a breathable, quick-dry fabric ensures you won't stay damp in the event of a summer rainstorm. I'm always reluctant to pull out the hotel iron or steamer in hot locations, so the fact that these are wrinkle-free and stocked with functional pockets makes them a great addition to a summer packing list. These shorts have also been praised for their comfort and fit, which is crucial for long travel days. Whether you're travels take you trekking through a rainforest or navigating the busy streets of Rome, these shorts will prove to be a hard-working addition to your suitcase. Dresses are one of my favorite items of clothing to wear in hot weather because they don't constrict around my waist and they allow airflow around my legs. This loose-style, polyester-spandex blend dress is roomy and breezy. Plus, it has an adjustable, drawstring waistband and side pockets. If you're traveling by carry-on only and want to bring just one dress, this one is multipurpose. Straight out of the bag, it makes a great piece to wear out on a boat deck for enjoying the breeze in nautical stripes. Pro tip: I recommend wearing breathable, anti-chafe underwear or shorts underneath, and Amazon shoppers love these thigh-length options from Reamphy for their soft waistband and no-slip design. Shorts and dresses aren't the only ways to stay cool. If pants are more your style (or they fit your itinerary better), opt for a breathable, loose-fitting pair like these cargo capris from MoFiz. They're made with the perfect blend of nylon, viscose, and spandex to ensure that they're lightweight, stretchy, moisture-wicking, and cool to the touch. And, the 13-hue color range has options to suit anyone's travel style. An everyday T-shirt is a packing essential, but you don't want to wear something made with heavy, heat-retaining material when you're up against 90-plus-degree Fahrenheit temperatures. Thankfully, there are quick-drying options like this Baleaf athletic T-shirt. Available in eight classic, easy-to-match colors, the short-sleeve shirt boasts a four-way stretching fabric, flat seams to prevent chafing when you're on the move, and a longer back hem for extra coverage. The brand is a popular choice for travelers, and you can also refresh your travel wardrobe with the Baleaf Cool-dry Tank Top or the Baleaf UPF 50+ Long-sleeve Sun Shirt, both just $20. Using the science of evaporative cooling, a cooling neck gaiter can provide all-day relief from the heat. With a major artery running through your neck, cooling your chest and neck down when you get hot is one of the quickest ways to feel more comfortable. This UPF 50+ version uses Mission's HydroActive Wet-to-Cool Technology to cool up to 30 degrees below average body temperature in under one minute, according to the brand. All you have to do is wet it with cold water, wring it out, and then wear it. For something more fashionable, there's the Ergodyne Cooling Bandana, which can be worn like a headband or around your neck like a scarf. According to one shopper, who wore it on a trip to Egypt, "Seriously, it kept me cool all day long while I walked in the 115-degree (Fahrenheit) Egyptian desert and it hasn't dried out, even after I returned days ago and hung it out to dry." There's no better way to keep cool in the heat than by finding the nearest body of water. But after your dip, you'll need something to protect yourself from the sun. Enter: Willit's Hooded Swim Cover-up Dress. It's enhanced with UPF 50+ sun protection and made with a lightweight fabric specially designed to pull moisture away from your skin, so you won't feel sweaty under its long sleeves. This is a great outfit for days when you might be out all day doing activities that take you from sea to land, like lounging at the beach and then going to lunch, or hiking to a waterfall. With over 1,700 five-star ratings, Teva's original sandals are the perfect summer shoe that does it all and will last you more than one season. Summer sandals should have soft and cushioned soles. Thin, flat sandals will feel hotter on your feet against sunny pavement or cobblestone. Teva's adjustable strap design also allows you to change the fit of the shoe, which comes in handy if your feet swell in the heat or you're hopping in and out of water. Get a pair in a neutral color, like Sand Dune, so you can wear these with almost any outfit. This sling bag isn't a piece of cooling clothing , per se, but when packing for a day out in the heat, I recommend keeping your bag small and compact. Large totes will create friction against your side as you walk, generating more heat. Backpacks will insulate against your back and trap sweat. This one has room for a water bottle and your own battery bank. It comes in a crisp, summery ivory color that could match a lot of different outfits. Love a great deal?

25 Items To Carry If You're Going To Disney World

Hey guys! I'm Samar Hadri, a BuzzFeed shopping writer and Orlando, Florida native 🍊. I've been a Disney World Annual Passholder for well over a decade (I may or may not have even gotten married at Disney 😅), so yeah, I'm something of a theme park expert. These are the products that I've tried and can recommend firsthand to make sure your amusement park experience is as smooth and stress-free as possible. With these products, you can feel prepared for almost any situation that pops up during a full day of trudging through the parks. First things first, a mid-size sling backpack that'll hold all of your essentials while still being small enough to fit in the pouch of whichever rides you love the most. With several compartments inside the bag, as well as a front pouch on the strap, you can keep everything incredibly organized to cut down on the time it takes for you to dig for your phone for spontaneous photos or sunscreen for your two-hour reapplications. Plus, it even has mesh pockets for your water bottle and umbrella! A reusable rain poncho for the buckets of water that can suddenly, without warning, drop from the Florida skies. With a long body piece and a big hooded cap, this poncho will keep you dry from head to toe. It also comes with a matching carrying case so you don't have to worry about lugging a drenched poncho around the park after your excursion down a "waterfall" at Kali River Rapids in Animal Kingdom. A four-pack of cooling towels because that Florida sun can be brutal. Just soak it in some cold water at any sink/water fountain, wring it, and place it on your neck for some much-needed relief! These towels will stay chilly for several hours, saving you from having to refresh in every country you pass through in Epcot. Bonus: each towel comes with a carrying pouch and a carabiner clip, so you can just clip it onto your backpack for easy access! A Disney ear holder that clips onto your backpack for the times when your head is tired of propping up those famous Mickey ears, but you still want them on public display. With the ability to hold up to two ears, this strap is great for parents when your little ones might be over wearing the ears, and you don't want them to take up any space in your bag. A trendy pair of polarized sunglasses to block out the sun's rays while you're enjoying the weather. No need to fear losing these bad boys while aboard Expedition Everest; these polarized glasses (while cute) are extremely affordable, so you can even keep a backup pair on hand in case a Yeti happens to board your train and run away with your original pair A handheld fan that will bring some much-needed cooling relief as you trek your way through your favorite rides. Small and compact, with two different speed functions, this fan is a necessity, especially during the height of summer. No need to let the humidity ruin your day, this FAN-tastic device will ensure your vacation remains as cool as can be. (Plus: the fan also works as a backup portable charger!) And a stroller fan so that your little one stays cool in the heat as well! The fan's head can adjust vertically and horizontally in any direction to create the perfect cooling breeze while also having three speeds so you can ensure your baby is at the perfect temperature. Now, the fear of your child overheating can disappear as swiftly as Peter Pan at the sight of an adult! A four-pack of reusable straws because absolutely nobody enjoys the taste of the soggy paper straws that grace every Disney concession stand and restaurant. This straw is collapsible and fits into a small carrying case, which can also be clipped onto your backpack, making it incredibly convenient to carry without feeling like it's taking up some much-needed space. Absolutely perfect for that midday Pandoran Sunrise you'll be happy to sample at Animal Kingdom. A Body Glide anti-chafe balm you'll want to apply liberally before boarding the Monorail. The last thing you want during your vacation is any pain halting your ability to walk freely through the parks. With this balm, say goodbye to chafing troubles and say hello to magical relief! And an anti-blister foot balm to ease the pain of walking over 10 miles through four different parks all in a single day. This will add a layer of protection between you and your shoes so you can skip through Moana's Journey of Water with ZERO pain! Vanish the potential of blisters with this balm — even Tinkerbell herself will be jealous of how magical this product seems! A two-pack of reusable snack bags because sometimes hunger pangs hit right in the middle of a line, when exiting to purchase a bite to eat is pretty much impossible. These bags come with a zippered closure and are made from waterproof fabric, so no need to fear the splatters from Tiana's Bayou Adventure tainting your go-to snack. A foldable water bottle that will take up little space and be the hydrating savior of your park day. Buying several bottles of water while inside the park will get expensive FAST, so having a refillable bottle on hand is key, especially when they can roll into a small size so that they don't take up too much room. A much-needed addition to your park essentials when you find yourself incredibly thirsty while waiting to meet Princess Jasmine. A 10-pack of mosquito-repellent bracelets you will be incredibly grateful you packed when love-bug season hits Florida. Powered by essential oils such as citronella, these bands can help repel pests without the need to douse yourself in bug spray several times a day. No mosquito will dare approach you as you embark on your theme park adventures; these bracelets will help keep the creepy-crawlies far, far away!
