Pack These Eight Items to Stay Cool at Walt Disney World This Summer

Summertime has arrived in Disney World, meaning that high crowds, and high temperatures, are here to stay — at least for a little while.

To stay cool, you should drink lots of water and take lots of AC breaks, but what should you bring with you to the Disney World parks to have the most comfortable day possible? Look no further because we’re bringing you eight things you need to have in your staying cool toolbox.

Sunglasses

We couldn’t talk about being cool and not mention sunglasses. These may not actually make you feel cooler in temperature, but they will protect your eyes. The shade that they offer will give you the feeling of being cooler and stop you from having to squint into the sun all day. If you’re looking for a new pair of sunglasses for your Disney vacation, check out these Aviator Sunglasses from Target!

They have black lenses with a gold frame and are $15.

Hats

On a hot sunny day in Disney World a hat will really save you. It’ll keep the sun out of your face. Over the years Disney has had some great sun hats and baseball caps for sale in the parks. We recommend something lightweight. A felt or leather hat will just make you hotter and may not be the best options. And as adorable and iconic as the Mickey Mouse Ear Hats are, they don’t offer much in the way of sun protection.

Looking for a new hat to wear in the parks? Check out this 50th Anniversary Baseball Cap you can use to keep the sun out of your face, and celebrate 50 years of Disney World!

This hat is $29.99 and available now on shopDisney.

Sunscreen

If you’ve ever spent all day at the beach and gotten a sun burn, you know the heat from that will stay with you for days. When you are in Disney World, you are in and out of the sun all day everyday. Make sure to pack some sunscreen to keep you safe from the sun’s harmful rays and to prevent you feeling a prolonged burn during your visit. Just remember to re-apply the sunscreen throughout the day according to the package instructions.

If you need a new sunscreen, check out this Neutrogena Ultra Sheer Dry-Touch Sunscreen!

It is SPF 70 and is non-greasy, so you won’t feel it once you’ve put it on. You can grab it right now for $8.97, down from its previous price of $11.99.

Wipes

One of the worst things about being hot all day is feeling gross. If you pack a small pack of wipes you can wipe down your face and neck throughout the day. This small step will help you feel cooler and cleaner during your hot summer day in Disney World. If you want to grab some wipes before your next trip, check out these Wet Ones wipes from Amazon.

These are a box of 10 packs, each with 20 wipes. These are a great size to just throw in your park bag, and can be used to wipe down your hands and arms, as well as disinfect in a pinch! You can grab these for $19.70.

Fans

A small personal fan can be the most important thing on a hot day. If you’re looking for a fan to keep you cool in Disney World, check out this Bladeless Neck Fan from Target.

This fan goes around your neck and blows cold air so you don’t have to hold up a fan! It is currently on sale for $27.99, down from $39.99.

Mister Bottles

You will often see mister spray bottles in Disney World. They are a water spray bottle with a battery powered fan attached on the top. This is a great option for kids in strollers. They can just sit there and point the fan at themselves and stay cool. You can find these fans in the Disney World parks.

But if you don’t want to spend the money on them in the parks, check out this Misting Fan we found from Target!

It does the same thing as the one in Disney World, but for a fraction of the cost. You can grab this misting fan for $11.89, while the ones at Disney World will run you $22.

Water Bottle

Staying hydrated in the heat is key, and the best way to do that is to bring a water bottle with you to the park. We highly recommend bringing a reusable one that you refill throughout your day. There are water fountains and bottle refill stations all over the Parks. If the taste of Florida water isn’t your favorite, bring a reusable bottle with a built in filter.

Looking for a good reusable water to use in the parks? We recommend something lightweight like this Camelbak Water Bottle from Amazon!

This water bottle is super lightweight, so it won’t add too much to your park bag, and will hold 25 ounces of water. Plus, it comes in tons of fun colors! It is $16.

Money For a Mickey Ice Cream Bar

The most important thing you could possibly bring on any Disney World trip is a hefty budget for ice cream. (We kid, we kid… mostly.) A simple Mickey Mouse Ice Cream Bar can be the best thing on a hot day in Disney World, but they will cost you around $6 a pop. They are creamy vanilla ice cream covered in dark chocolate, but there is something magical that makes them taste better than normal ice cream. And if that doesn’t sound delicious, there is always the Mickey Ice Cream Sandwich for the same price.

With everything that goes into a Walt Disney World vacation, you don’t want the heat to steal the magic for you, so make sure to be prepared for a hot summer day during your trip.
