Promising review: "I primarily purchased this for Disney and it definitely didn’t disappoint! It’s versatile, spacious, and matched all of my outfits. I could wear it in different ways, which was great for walking around and when I had to sit on rides that allowed concealed bags, I rarely had to take it off. It survived a full week of being tossed around and held up great." —Amazon Customer

Promising review: "The holy grail of portable chargers!!! I was traveling to Disney for vacation and knowing me, I would drain my battery with just taking pictures alone. I wanted a portable battery but didn’t want a carry a cord either, so I was excited when I found this little baby! It does exactly as described, pretty pink color, and I get one full charge of battery for my iPhone 11. Get it, you will not be disappointed!" —Meghan Doble

Promising review: "Flexible and easy to take on trips but sturdy when filled with water. The straps make them easy to carry around. Bought one for my mom and one for myself. We used them at Universal Studios, refilling them with water at the refill stations throughout the park. Since then I've been using mine at work, while mom uses hers when out and about." —X Flor

Big Liquid I.V. fan here! I didn't know what to expect the first time I tried these — I initially bought a pack before going on a trip to Denver last year because I was nervous that the altitude change coming from sea level would affect me. I actually had an easy time in Denver and while I'm not sure if it was because I drank a bunch of Liquid I.V.-infused waters before my trip or because my body just didn't feel the altitude change the way I thought it would, I will say that discovering these has been super helpful since, though. I like having one when I wake up with a hangover after a night of drinking, they helped keep my hydrated at the Eras Tour, and as I write this, I'm about five days away from traveling to Disneyland and will absolutely be bringing these with me. If nothing else, they just taste delicious (I LOVE this lemon lime flavor) and make me want to drink more water because of how yummy they are.

Not to mention theme park food is expensive! And sometimes you may want to supplement overpriced chicken tenders and fries or ice cream cones with some fruit, cheese sticks, crackers, etc.

Recently I developed an allergic reaction after consuming cashews and as I wait on an allergy test, I am holding off on consuming all tree nuts as a precaution. A friend of mine introduced me to these bars and I love that they're not only nut-free, but also made in a dedicated facility free of common allergens, which I've had a hard time finding when looking at other snack bars to buy. These are DELICIOUS!!! I've tried a few of the flavors and they're all so good and don't leave behind any weird aftertaste either. Whether you're looking for an allergen-friendly granola bar or not, I can't recommend these enough.

I got this phone pouch prior to going to Nashville to see the Eras Tour and I can't recommend it enough. The forecast predicted rain all weekend and on night three, the storm was so bad that the show was delayed two and a half hours — leave it Taylor to turn it into a memorable rain show! Keeping my phone in this pouch allowed me to still take photos and videos and keep in contact with my group when it was time to meet up afterwards without worry of water damage and is now something I'll always keep on hand for outdoor shows in the rain.

Promising review: "Bought these for my whole family to wear at Disney World...worked wonderfully through the rain and rides like Splash Mountain and Kali Rapids. Would definitely recommend." —Amazon Customer

Get it from Amazon for $6.99+ (available in 14 colors).

Promising review: "As an adult with sensory issues I had been looking for a discreet earplug to wear while on a trip to Disney World. These were perfect! I could still hear normal conversations from my friends while waiting in line for rides but without the screaming children and other noises from a busy theme park. These were comfortable to wear all day at the park and didn’t even budge on the roller coasters! Highly recommend for fireworks as well. These are great for anyone who needs just a bit less noise." —Maegan O'Brien

Promising review: "Well, I just received my memory game and it's something I really enjoy. I've had several of the larger versions years back but wanted something that I can have at work that would not take up a lot of desk space. So, with that, you can not go wrong purchasing this little item. One of the questions below asked how I'd rate the difficulty level of this game. Well, I'd give it from easy to advanced! It's a great game!" —PatGentlebrown

Promising review: "This was a gift received for Christmas. I will use this for walks and runs when all I need is a key, lip balm, and some cash. Would also be great at a theme park where it’s inconvenient to have a purse. Works well just as a hair tie too. Well made." —Amazon Customer

Vimhue is a woman-owned small biz based in Arizona that sells caps designed with ponytails in mind.

Promising review: "Love this hat so much! I already ordered another one in a different color for myself and one for a friend! I live in Texas near the Gulf and it’s summer — really humid and really hot. I walk 3–4 miles outside most days and I’d been wishing for a hat that allowed for a high ponytail so I could keep my hair off my neck to not get as hot/sweaty. Decided to Google it and found this and was thrilled! The X straps are easy to adjust and it fits great and is breathable. And it’s super cute!" —mlp06h

Get it from Vimhue on Etsy for $29 (available in 22 colors).

Promising review: "This was bought for a trip to a theme park with a mix of older adults and kids. It held lots of meds for all situations. The labels allowed for helpful marking of what was in each slot. You definitely need the included heavy plastic guitar-style pick to open the different compartments. If you lose that you may struggle to get them open, but it’s a great multi-med pack!" —Holly Wood

Promising review: "This fan is just what we were looking for! We live in Florida and trying to do anything outdoors can become very hot.

Promising review: "These were a lifesaver. I was walking to the bus and decided it was a great decision to drink coffee while walking. Like a scene from an infomercial, I spilled coffee all over my white shirt. Yes, the classic coffee on the white shirt. Luckily I had one of these in my bag (I put one in each of my most-used purses in anticipation of my clumsiness). I went into a store bathroom and quickly scrubbed the Tide to Go on my shirt. All of the coffee blobs went away and once the awkward wet splotches dried up, my shirt was perfectly white again. You've got yourself a big fan, Tide." —NAD

Promising review: "I bought these towels for our Disney trip to Florida where you never know when a shower is going to hit. They were so handy and absorbent. They were compact enough to just throw in our backpack and came in very useful as we had at least one shower each day! They dry fast! Will definitely be packing them on our next vacation!" —Jason and Brandi Dodd

Promising review: "Used in Florida theme parks this past June. Rained some almost every day. This was an amazing product. Fit neatly in our backpack and coverage was great even for plus-sized people. Favorite features were the easy snaps on the sides. Made it easy to take off and put on. Carry bag came in handy too. It was lightweight, which helped when it was so hot outside." —J squared

We are avid amusement park goers and spend 12+ hours a day at the parks walking/standing in lines. Have been to over six parks including Disney, Universal, and Six Flags, and never once a blister on anyone in the family. Highly recommended!" —Law
