Here at Disney Food Blog, we love the Disney parks. We’re probably at Disney more than our home at this point. We’re always on the hunt for new products to make our park days so much easier.

Park bag essentials


We decided to do an experiment this week – we bought a park bag and filled its contents with items from Amazon we thought could make our park days 100x better. It ended up being a pretty penny at $250 total, so we went all in to make sure they were worth it. And spoiler alert – they are! Here are some of our new favorite theme park essentials that’ll have your back from rope drop to fireworks.

MultiCharger for MagicBand+


This MultiCharger for MagicBand+ can charge up to four MagicBands, or you can use the USB-A ports to charge your phone or portable charger. No more fighting over hotel outlets! This just makes charging those MagicBands so easy and we think this little device is worth every single penny!



This FROGG TOGGS Poncho will keep you dry​

Frogg Toggs Poncho


This Frogg Toggs Poncho is 100% waterproof, seam-taped, lightweight, and durable. It’s constructed with an outer layer that provides waterproof and breathable protection with an inner layer that remains soft next to skin. It comes in a handy waterproof sack for easy carrying. Get it in black, blue, green, khaki, pink, and yellow color options.

This thing is high quality and doesn’t give you that “I’m wearing a plastic bag” feeling. It’s roomy enough to cover your backpack in the parks, and it even comes with a bag to put your wet poncho in after it rains. This is one of our favorite essentials ever and way better than the ponchos you’ll find in the parks.


We love the Hoka Women’s Clifton 10s

Hoka Womens Clifton 10


These Hoka Women’s Clifton 10s are plush and comfortable with support that lasts from rope drop to fireworks. It has a breathable jacquard upper and a double-lace lock for the perfect fit. There’s a shoe for every style since they come in 32 color options.

These are our FAVORITE shoes for the parks after hours and miles and miles of testing. They have just the right amount of cushion and keep our feet happy day after day.



Or, you can grab our favorite Handheld Mini Fan

JISULIFE handheld fan


The JISULIFE Handheld Mini Fan keeps us cool from rope drop to fireworks. It also has a built-in flashlight and a power bank to charge your phone. It might be small, but this fan packs a punch even on the hottest Florida days. It barely takes up any space in your backpack, but when you need it, you’ll be so glad you grabbed it.

This thing works HARD, and that’s exactly what you need on those hot summer days in the parks. This is another one we constantly find ourselves reaching for.



Don’t forget the Owala Rapunzel Water Bottle

Owala Rapunzel Water Bottle


The Owala Rapunzel Water Bottle is a 24-ounce insulated stainless-steel FreeSip spout water bottle with our favorite Disney Princess. The patented FreeSip spout is designed for either sipping upright through the built-in straw or tilting back to swig from the spout opening. The double-wall insulation keeps drinks cold for up to 24 hours, so it’s perfect for your next park day! Get it below for $34.99.

We have tested SO many water bottles for the parks, and we can promise you that this will truly keep your water cold for hours, even in the Florida sun. It’s a must-have, that’s for sure!



And finally, this lightweight INIU Portable Charger

INIU Charger


The INIU Portable Charger is a powerful portable charger with 2 USB-C ports and 1 USB-A port, so you can charge 3 devices at once. It’s 30% smaller and 15% lighter than similar portable chargers; it’s perfect for your next park day! After testing loads and loads of chargers, this one and a FuelRod always come out on top. It’s quick, reliable, and not massive!!

*Note: Some INIU chargers were recalled, but this model was not impacted.
