Don't let the heat deter you - in fact, summer can be one of the best times of the year to make it to the parks! Keep a portable fan in your bag and pull it out as needed. You'll be glad you did!
Portable Fan
Fun fact: you don't have to buy water at any Disney Park! Just take a stainless steel water bottle with you, fill it with ice at your resort or at any quick service restaurant, and you'll have a steady supply of ice-cold water all day long! You can e...

Trust me when I tell you this: your phone WILL run out of battery. It's not a matter of "if." It's a matter of "when." I don't care how new your phone is! You will be using your phone A LOT at the parks - between taking photos, checking wait times, m...
