In the Parks
Park days are long. Go prepared.

We use these at theme parks where we're constantly pulling out our phones, and while traveling to prevent theft. If I'm just at a theme park, I sandwich it between my phone and the phone case. But if I'm traveling somewhere where pickpockets are comm...

Don't let the KETO name fool you. These are for everyone.
We have been using these for YEARS. They are our favorite source of electrolytes for any time we're sweating โ ย theme parks, summer yard work, running around a European city that has almost no air conditioningโฆ
I love these because they don't have anything extra added to them. They are JUST electrolytes. No added herbal supplements. No flavors or sweeteners. No carrying around Gatorade or powdered drink packets that you need to add to ๐ซ๐ถ๐ด๐ต ๐ต๐ฉ๐ฆ ๐ณ๐ช๐จ...
I take a few before I head out in the heat and then some more if I need them later in the day. When I'm dehydrated and dragging, taking a few of these with my beverage of choice usually does the trick within half an hour. ๐๐ผ๐ฟ ๐ถ๐ป๐ณ๐ผ๐ฟ๐บ๐ฎ๐๐ถ๐ผ๏ฟฝ...

Ladies, and those with little kids, you need these!
Real talk: no one likes it when those automatic flush toilets flush before you're ready. Sometimes you can use a bit of toilet paper to cover up that sensor. But MANY of the toilets in Disney and Universal resorts have the sensor ๐๐ช๐๐ก๐ฉ ๐๐ฃ๐ฉ๐ค ...
This is where these mini Post-It notes come in. Stick one over the sensor while you're in the stall and toss when you're done.
Don't try to use cheap dollar store sticky notes. The adhesive doesn't hold up in the Florida heat, and those sticky notes WILL NOT stick to the sensor. (Ask me how I know.) This is a case where brand-name absolutely is better.

I have a couple of these, and I like them because they are lightweight and breathable. They look a little nicer than the ones marketed for camping, and they're big enough to throw on over your park bag so all your stuff stays dry.

I'm not gonna lie. I don't have this card because it offers great value in cash back toward your Disney vacations. At 1% back on all purchases, you can easily find cards with better returns.

The Chase Sapphire Preferred card is a great way to get into the points game.
With an annual fee of just $95 and an annual $50 hotel credit on stays booked through the Chase travel portal, your net cost is only $45. That's a steal for the perks you get with the card, especially since Chase points are arguably the most valuable...
