Universal Orlando Park Bag Essentials
Universal Studios Must-Haves for Families
Universal Orlando Park Bag Essentials
The bag basics that come with us to every Universal park, refined trip after trip and built for a full day of heat, lines, and everything in between.
Florida heat is not a joke, and a cooling towel is one of the simplest ways to actually cool down mid-day instead of just tolerating it. This one's simple to use: wet, wring, snap, and it goes cold instantly, exactly what an afternoon in line demands...
Sukeen 4 Pack Cooling Towels 40x12 Soft
This one wears around the neck and keeps both hands free for strollers, snacks, and everything else a park day requires. More than one guest has watched us pull this out and immediately asked where to get one.
Portable Handheld Turbo Fan
A step up from the flimsy disposable ponchos, welded seams mean this one actually holds up through a real Florida downpour instead of tearing halfway through. Worth keeping in the bag as the backup for whoever in the group always seems to get soaked ...
Stansport Waterproof Vinyl Rain Pullover .1 MM Thick - Clear
Volcano Bay is a full water park, and Universal's got no shortage of soaking rides on the other side too, Jurassic Park River Adventure, Popeye and Bluto's Bilge-Rat Barges if you're not careful. This keeps the phone dry and still usable through the ...
Case-Mate Waterproof Pouch - Black: Dust & Dirt Resistant iPhone Compatible Case
After one too many cheap umbrellas turning inside out mid-storm, this is the one that actually stays put, even in a real Florida gust. It can pop open one-handed while I've got a stroller in the other, and it doubles as shade on the long walks betwee...
Repel Travel Umbrella Compact Rain & UV Protection, Windproof up to 85 MPH
Lips get forgotten in the sunscreen routine more than anything else, and they're some of the first to burn after a full day outside. This one's small enough to live in a pocket the whole trip without melting.
Sun Bum Lip Balm - SPF 30
This is the one that actually gets used the whole trip, straw pulls out clean for washing, and the FreeSip spout means sipping through the straw or tipping back for a real gulp, whichever the moment calls for. Insulation keeps water cold for up to 24...
Owala 32 fl oz Stainless Steel FreeSip Water Bottle
Universal Studios Must-Haves for Families
What actually earns a spot in your luggage when kids are along for the ride, from Diagon Alley to Super Nintendo World and beyond.
This turns the land into a game, collecting coins and stamps at every pipe and block along the way, building toward one final showdown with Bowser Jr. Worth every bit of the hype, and it doubles as an amiibo at home when the trip is over. This is suc...
SUPER NINTENDO WORLD™ Mario Power-Up Band™
The wands from Harry Potter are magic in the parks and unwieldy everywhere else, too long for a pocket or purse. This clips on and keeps it safe and within reach, so the whole family can actually enjoy spell-casting instead of carrying a wand around ...
Wizard Magic Wand Holder Holster 4 Colors
Express passes and park tickets need to be scanned constantly, and digging through a bag every single time gets old by lunch. This one keeps it around your neck and ready to go, with a house-crested charm that makes even a practical must-have feel li...
Harry Potter Hogwarts Lanyard with Charm & ID
Soft, easy, and made for a day that starts before sunrise and doesn't slow down until fireworks. This one's ours, part of the Cedar collection, made for the trips we plan for you and the ones we take ourselves.
Where Magic Lives Tee
The first-generation wands still work throughout Hogsmeade and Diagon Alley, but the second generation is the one worth the upgrade, the tip actually lights up and vibrates with each spell, and it connects to the Universal app to track House points, ...
Second Generation Interactive Wand - Harry Potter
After a full day on your feet, this is the fastest relief that doesn't require a bath, just spray, rub in, and let the magnesium go to work while you go to bed. Small enough to pack, and the kind of thing you don't think to bring until the first nigh...
Dr Teal's Topical Magnesium Body & Foot Spray with Epsom Salt & Natural Dead Sea Salt
