5 Unexpected Things You'll Need If You're Visiting Disney Springs

Let’s face it, Disney Springs can be a shopper’s paradise. But nothing puts a damper on your retail therapy faster than lugging around heavy bags or worse, realizing you’ve run out of room for that must-have souvenir.

Fear not, fellow Disney enthusiasts! I’ve discovered 5 perfect things that will make your Disney Springs trip feel like a breeze.

The Minnie-Approved Way to Carry Your Treasures

This adorable set of four tote bags isn’t just about looking cute (though it certainly nails that). Each bag unfolds to a spacious 15″ x 13″ x 6″, giving you plenty of room for all your Disney Springs finds. But here’s where it gets really magical – the set comes with a Create-A-Face sticker book and bonus Minnie Mouse stickers. It’s like getting a craft project and shopping bags all in one!

Now, I know what you’re thinking. “But what about when I’m not shopping?” Well, these versatile bags are perfect for organizing toys, packing for a day at the parks, or even as an eco-friendly grocery solution. And let’s be honest, who wouldn’t want to brighten up their errands with a little Disney magic?

The only potential downside I can see is that with limited customer reviews available, we don’t have a ton of long-term feedback. But given the quality we typically see from Disney products, I’m optimistic these bags will hold up well to regular use.

When Florida Weather Throws a Curveball

Ah, Florida weather. One minute you’re basking in the sunshine, the next you’re caught in a downpour that would make Eeyore feel right at home. But fear not, I’ve found the perfect sidekick for your Disney Springs adventures – the FROGG TOGGS Poncho.

This isn’t your average flimsy plastic poncho that falls apart faster than Cinderella’s carriage at midnight. Weighing in at a mere 9 ounces, this ultra-lightweight wonder is 100% waterproof with taped seams, ensuring you stay dry from head to toe. But here’s the real magic – it’s breathable too! No more feeling like you’re wrapped in a sweaty plastic bag (we’ve all been there, right?).

One of my favorite features is the included stuff sack. When the sun comes back out (because in Florida, it always does), you can quickly pack the poncho away into a compact bundle that fits easily in your bag. It’s like having a little piece of weather insurance that doesn’t weigh you down.

Now, I’ll admit, it might not be the most fashion-forward item in your Disney wardrobe. But when you’re caught in a sudden downpour outside World of Disney, you’ll be too busy staying dry to care about winning any style awards.

The only potential drawback I can see is that in very humid conditions, you might find it a bit warm. But compared to being soaked through, I’d say that’s a fair trade-off!

The Bag That Security Guards Will Love

We’ve all been there – stuck in a security line, frantically digging through your bag while the guard gives you that “hurry up” look. Well, say goodbye to those awkward moments with this Clear Crossbody. This nifty little number is not just for stadiums – it’s perfect for navigating Disney Springs with ease.

Made of durable clear PVC, this bag helps security see exactly what you’re carrying, so it can help speed up the process. But don’t let its transparency fool you – this bag is far from basic. With its adjustable strap (25.98″ to 47.04″ in length) and multiple compartments, it’s as practical as it is stylish.

One of the things I love most about this bag is its versatility. Whether you’re heading to a concert at House of Blues (they have a clear bag policy) or just want a hands-free shopping experience, this bag has got you covered. And with its clear design, you’ll never have to play “find the lip gloss” again!

Now, I know what some of you might be thinking – “But what about privacy?” It’s true, this bag puts all your belongings on display. But look at it this way – it’s a great excuse to show off that cute Disney-themed wallet you just bought!

The Cozy Companion for Chilly Evenings

Florida might be known for its sunshine, but let me tell you, those Disney Springs evenings can get surprisingly chilly. That’s where the Winnie the Pooh and Pals Pullover Sweatshirt comes in. It’s like wrapping yourself in a warm hug from Pooh Bear himself!

Part of the Disney Winnie the Pooh Nostalgia Collection, this sweatshirt is a perfect blend of cozy and cute. The 1/4 zip front with a mock turtleneck collar gives you options for temperature control, while the warm knit fabric with fleece interior keeps you snug as a bug in a honey pot.

But the real stars of the show are the adorable appliqués featuring Pooh, Tigger, and Eeyore. It’s like wearing a little piece of the Hundred Acre Wood! The color block design adds a modern touch to the nostalgic characters, making it perfect for both lounging and those Instagram-worthy Disney Springs moments.

Now, I will say that the product description doesn’t provide much information about sizing. So, if you’re planning to layer it over other clothes, you might want to consider sizing up. But hey, when it comes to Pooh Bear, the cozier the better, right?

The Invisible Shield Against Florida’s Fierce Sun

Let’s talk about the Florida sun for a moment. It’s great for tanning, sure, but it’s not so great for your skin in the long run. Enter the Supergoop! Sunscreen – your new best friend for those long days exploring Disney Springs.

This isn’t your grandma’s thick, white, nose-stripe sunscreen. Oh no. This little miracle worker goes on completely clear and feels like nothing on your skin. It’s so lightweight and invisible, you might even forget you’re wearing it. But trust me, your skin won’t forget – it’ll be thanking you later.

One of the coolest things about this sunscreen is that it doubles as a makeup primer. So whether you’re going for a full glam look or just a touch of mascara before hitting Wine Bar George, this sunscreen has got you covered (literally). It’s oil-free and suitable for all skin types, so you don’t have to worry about breakouts or shine.

Now, I’ll be honest – this sunscreen is a bit pricier than your average drugstore brand. But when you consider that it’s protecting you from UVA, UVB, and even blue light (hello, endless selfies!), I’d say it’s worth the investment. Plus, a little goes a long way, so that tube will last you through many Disney adventures.

The only potential downside is that you might need to reapply if you’re out all day or taking a dip in the pool at your Disney resort. But hey, that’s a small price to pay for keeping your skin safe and selfie-ready, right?
