Staying away from home can be tough, even if it’s at a Disney World hotel!

Pop Century


We love staying on Disney World property, but after trying out these items on Amazon, we wish we knew about them sooner — they would’ve made our stay so much more comfortable! From sound machines to earplugs, you need to check out these items, especially if you have trouble sleeping away from home!

Planning guide for the ultimate Disney vacation

Get these Portable Hanging Travel Shelves

Portable Shelves


The Portable Hanging Travel Shelves are for anyone who loves to unpack but doesn’t like the hassle of it on vacation. It’s truly worth the money because it is so handy and convenient. The hanging shelves and the ability to squish your clothes down like a packing cube are the main features of this that really made our life easier. We love that we can unpack easily, feel organized, and then repack with a few clips at the end of the trip.

How simple is this?


The biggest pro is just feeling insanely organized on our trip without needing to fully unpack. We loved that we could see all of our things without actually putting any clothes away AND that we could just move things between bags super easily. We do wish it was a bit easier to fit in a traditional carry-on (it took up every bit of space in mine), BUT we do like how much it holds.

Hanging shelves all packed up.


Without a doubt, this made our trip 10x easier. It fit all our outfits and shoes and kept them organized. Compared to regular packing cubes, it is a bit bulkier, but it also offers a level of ease that other packing cubes don’t. We fit two pairs of shoes, an entire week’s worth of clothes, a sweatshirt, two pairs of ears, and still had room!


Earplugs ALWAYS come in handy!

Just like the ones you’ll find in your local convenience store, these Earplugs from Amazon are effective and come in bulk! These are soft foam, noise-cancelling earplugs that are great for hearing protection. The soft foam makes them easy to sleep with, as they provide comfort, and the noise cancellation is great for drowning out noise in nearby rooms and the hallways. They’re especially good for light sleepers and daytime nappers.


We love the Dreamegg Sound Machine

Dreamegg Portable Travel White Noise Machine


The Dreamegg Sound Machine is for anyone who wants a truly peaceful sleep or nap. This thing is around $15 solo, bundled with a second in multiple color combos for around $30, and can even come with a zippered travel case for around $25. So, if you’re wondering if it’s worth the money…YES, ABSOLUTELY YES! This would make an ideal present for a new parent, college student, stocking stuffer, frequent traveler, small kids, those with insomnia or difficulty getting to sleep, etc.

Dreamegg Portable Travel White Noise Machine


This thing is so small it can fit in the palm of your hand! It has the potential to be hooked up to a charger or be enjoyed on a battery. It has 35 different volume levels for such a tiny object, comes in a variety of different colors to match practically any aesthetic, and features 16 different sounds. We’re talking sounds ranging from different kinds of fans and fan speeds to standard white noise, soundscapes, waterfalls, rain, birds, lullabies, and beyond.

It’s also equipped with a timer button that can be set to either 30-, 60-, or 90-minute intervals, or set not to turn off until you want to. It uses the same USB-C charger that most newer phone models have switched to using, so you don’t have to keep up with an odd charging plug. Shall we go on?

Super small


The biggest pros for this are by far the size, battery life, versatility of sounds, and timer. Sure, the buttons are hard to press in if you have long nails, but that’s truly nit-picky. You definitely need this on your trip, especially in those value resorts where the walls are thinner. We felt much more rested and relaxed after trying it out. It’s also often on sale, as if we needed more reason to grab it!


Also, you can grab these Water Shoes

For those of you who like using the resort pools while staying on property at Disney World, you could grab these Water Shoes! We know for some people walking on the pool deck can be a sensory overload on their feet; maybe it’s a sanitary thing, or maybe there’s something need to be covered. Whatever it is, these water shoes can come in handy if you feel you need them.
