There are certain items you NEED for Disney World, but don’t be fooled if you think you need to spend a fortune on them, or that you need to wait to be in the parks (and therefore paying higher prices) to snag them.
We go to Disney World nearly every day, so we know firsthand what items are ones you’ll regret not having on your trip, but we’ve ALSO seen how those essentials are priced WAY higher in the parks than they are online. By grabbing these four items online before your trip, you can save a pretty penny!
FuelRods are a great way to help charge your phone when you’re stuck in a bind in Disney World, because you can trade your dead one in for a fully charged one, but you can save online if you buy a pack before your trip. This is especially true with the newest model, the FuelRod MAX10.
In the parks, this will cost you $80, but if you grab it online ahead of time, you’ll only pay $75! Yes, a $5 savings doesn’t seem like a lot, but hey, that’s more money to go towards grabbing one of your favorite snacks.
Keeping yourself cool and protected from the sun is very important, and we love using the BAODINI Travel Essentials Mini Umbrella to do just that!
Not only does buying this online cost you $14 instead of the regular $18 you’ll usually find umbrellas for in the parks, but this isn’t just a regular umbrella. Not only will it keep rain off of you, but it’ll also keep the UV rays from the sun away from you too, and bounce them back towards the sky, which can make the area under your umbrella MUCH cooler.
Cooling towels in the park will cost you about $23 in the park just for ONE, and they’re not super great quality. Instead, snag the Sukeen 4 Pack Cooling Towels online ahead of time for just over $12!
For $10 less than ONE cooling towel in Disney World, you can get a pack of four, which is a fantastic deal. We usually don’t go to the parks in the summer without these (and if we do, we regret it immensely).
Kiddos love bubble wands, that much is for sure, but they’ll cost you anywhere between $35-$40 in Disney World, depending on the style. That’s A LOT to spend on a toy that may only be used a few times, so instead grab one like the Disney Princess Moana Light and Sound Musical Bubble Wand for just $20!
This is just as cute as some of the ones you’ll see in the park, but getting it for potentially half off is something you can’t miss if you have a feeling your little one will ask for a bubble wand in the park.
