Toy Story Land!

Head over to Hollywood Studios at Disney World, because some brand-new Toy Story 5-themed PhotoPass spots are now available to celebrate the movie! Run like the wind, because they’re only going to be at the park until July 31st.

There are a total of FOUR new PhotoPass experiences at Disney’s Hollywood Studios. In Toy Story Land, you can grab a photo with Forky and Karen Beverly, who are celebrating their wedding! This is available with PhotoPass photographers at both entrances to Toy Story Land.

You can also get your photo displayed on Lilypad, a new character in Toy Story 5, along with Woody, Buzz, and Jessie! This is also available with PhotoPass photographers located in Toy Story Land. You’ll have to check out two spots specifically at Toy Story Land. One is near Rex and Jessie in front of Slinky Dog Dash, and the other is by the entrance to Alien Swirling Saucers.

Toy Story Land isn’t the only spot that’s offering new photo experiences. You can take a photo with some new characters in Toy Story 5, including Smarty Pants, Snappy, and Atlas. For this photoshoot, you’ll need to locate the photographer near BaseLine Tap House.

Lastly, there’s a PhotoPass opportunity that is exclusive to Disney World Annual Passholders only! For this one, Annual Passholders can grab a photo with Jessie and Bullseye, which is also near BaseLine Tap House. Don’t forget to use some of the passholder-exclusive props to give the photo your own unique style.

We love brand-new PhotoPass opportunities. They’re fun ways to create new and unique memories, especially when the photos you take are only available for a limited time. Make sure to follow us at Disney Food Blog, so you don’t miss out on all the latest Disney news and updates.

Oh boy, planning a Disney trip can be quite the adventure, and we totally get it! But fear not, dear friends, we compiled EVERYTHING you need (and the things to avoid!) to plan the ULTIMATE Disney vacation.

Disney World

That’s why we are here! We are always on the lookout for cheap Disney essentials that you actually need for your next trip, so you can save a little money and avoid overpacking.

Let’s dive into these five Amazon items that you should pack for your next Disney World trip!

First up, check out this Water Bottle Crossbody

©Amazon

This bag is perfect if you’re planning on bringing your water bottle into Disney World with you. It can carry any size water bottle between 18 and 64oz, and it even has a zipper pouch on the front for your phone or other small items. When it gets hot in the summer, it can be a bummer to drink warm water from the plastic water bottles in your bag, plus those can get heavy. This bag allows you to bring your own water bottle that will stay cold longer, and you can refill for free around the parks.

Next, check out this Mickey Mouse Misting Fan

LACOVIA Cute Mouse Misting Mini Fan

This fan is adorable and an absolute lifesaver when you’re visiting Disney World in the summer. Florida gets HOT in the summers and is so humid, which means traveling to Disney can get uncomfortable, especially in the middle of the day when the sun is relentless. That’s when having a handheld fan can really change the game. This fan both blows air and mists on you, which can really help to cool off on your Disney day.

VIEW ON AMAZON

Then you have to check out this Disney Waterproof Bag

©Amazon

This bag is so cute and features lots of fun little Disney details. Plus, this is a great essential if you’re staying at a Disney World hotel this summer. Not only is this great for packing up after a pool day, but it’s amazing for the water parks. This summer, Disney World Resort Guests get free water park entry on their check-in day, and if you take advantage of this perk, you might be stuck carrying wet clothes all the way back to your hotel. Unless you have this cute waterproof bag to keep your wet bathing suits and clothes separate!

VIEW ON AMAZON

You can also grab this pack of Silicone Reusable Straws

©Amazon

This set comes with 12 different colored straws, two cleaning brushes, and four carrying containers, perfect for throwing these in your park bag. These are an amazing essential for anyone who doesn’t like the feeling of paper straws but still wants a safe and reusable option.

Last up, check out our favorite Waterproof Poncho

Frogg Toggs Poncho

We are OBSESSED with this poncho. There is truly nothing worse on your Disney vacation than getting caught in the rain and then being stuck in soggy, wet clothes for the rest of the day. This poncho helps prevent that. It is waterproof, and the material is very breathable, so you don’t feel extra overheated on a humid day. Then our favorite feature is the adjustable strap on the hood, which prevents any water from seeping in around your face. A poncho is a must when traveling to Disney in the summer, and this is the best one we’ve ever tried.

Nothing beats a crispy Diet Coke and a walk in front of the castle!

Wilderness Lodge

This is one of the most popular hotels at Disney World. It has a cabin-like feel to it, almost as if you’re on a camping retreat at the Most Magical Place on Earth. Although the resort is not feeling very magical right now.

The Wilderness Lodge is a hot resort right now. No…like literally HOT! The AC has completely shut down across the resort for three days, and they still have not been able to fix whatever issue is going on. Some parts of the hotel you really feel it, while others aren’t so bad.

Wilderness Lodge

It’s slightly cooler down at Roaring Fork, the quick-service restaurant. We actually found some temporary AC over there, which really helps, especially when enjoying your meal. Overall, things are a little chaotic as Cast Members do their best to accommodate the guests staying at the resort.

Temporary AC

We found it to be extra hot inside Mercantile.  The fridges have also been emptied, and there’s a posted sign saying, “If you’re looking for something specific, ask a Cast Member.” A Cast Member actually came up to us while we were looking in the fridges to help us find something, which was super helpful!

Temporary AC

We truly feel for everyone staying here and the Cast Members who are working hard to make the best out of the situation. The Cast Members are doing everything they can to help the guests, and they even put an ice water station in the lobby, which was nice and really helped a lot!

Ice water station!

Some areas are operating normally. Whispering Canyon is still serving food right now, while Territory Lounge and Artists Pointe are both expected to open later. And everything was operating normally at Roaring Fork.

Whispering Canyon Cafe

Problems are bound to happen, but we’re hoping Disney can solve this issue soon, especially considering how hot it is outside right now.

How long would you wait for your favorite ride? Let us know in the comments below!

VentaPak in Disney World

They show you the fireworks, the character meets, the overflowing plates of churros and Dole Whip. What they don’t show you is what happens after mile eight on a 92-degree Florida day when your shoes are soaked, your thighs are on fire, and you’re questioning every life choice that led you to this moment. Disney World is magical, but it’s also a full-contact sport. The good news is that most of these problems are totally fixable if you know what to pack. Here are the nasty realities of a Disney World trip and the products that’ll actually help you survive them.

Chafing

©Amazon

This one hits fast and it hits hard. Walking 10-plus miles a day in summer heat means your thighs are going to rub together, your bra straps are going to dig in, and your skin is going to make you regret every step. The Megababe Thigh Rescue Anti-Chafe Stick is the product that belongs in every park bag, full stop. It creates a friction-free barrier using a clean formula with aloe, pomegranate, and grapeseed oil, and it’s dermatologist approved for sensitive skin. Swipe it on before you leave the hotel and reapply as needed. It doesn’t feel greasy or sticky, and it genuinely prevents the kind of irritation that can ruin an afternoon.

view ON AMAZON

Backpack Sweat

VentaPak Lightweight Ventilation Backpack Spacer

You know the feeling. You take your backpack off after a long stretch and your entire back is soaked through. The Ventapak Lightweight Ventilation Backpack Spacer creates a gap between your bag and your back so air can actually circulate. It also redistributes the weight of your bag, which makes a real difference at the end of a long day. Fair warning: you’ll need to tighten your straps for it to work properly, which can make your armpits a little sweatier. But back sweat and back pain? Dramatically reduced.

view ON AMAZON

Sweat-Soaked Clothing

©Amazon

Cotton is not your friend at Disney World. It absorbs sweat, stays wet, and becomes genuinely uncomfortable within the first hour outside. A lightweight athletic dress like the Zhiyouni Women’s Summer Sleeveless Mini Dress is a smarter choice. It’s made from a breathable, stretchy fabric with built-in shorts, a racerback design, and front pockets, because pockets matter. The athletic construction means it wicks and dries far faster than your average park outfit, and it looks cute enough that you won’t feel like you’re wearing workout clothes for 12 hours straight.

view ON AMAZON

Blisters

©Amazon

Even if you wear your most broken-in shoes, there’s a solid chance you’re going to develop a hot spot somewhere around hour five. Pack Dr. Scholl’s Moleskin Padding Strips in your bag before you ever leave home. They’re thin, flexible, and can be cut to any size, so you can target exactly where your shoe is rubbing. Slap one on at the first sign of irritation rather than waiting until a blister fully forms. Your future self will thank you.

view ON AMAZON

Foot Pain

Nortiv 8

Speaking of feet, they are going to take a beating. If you’re still shopping for park shoes, the NORTIV 8 Women’s Walking Shoes are worth a look. They feature a thick EVA midsole for serious cushioning, a breathable mesh upper to keep feet cool, and a slip-resistant rubber outsole for real traction on wet pavement. They’re lightweight, they pair easily with most outfits, and they’re built for exactly the kind of all-day walking that Disney World demands.

view ON AMAZON

Body Odor

©Amazon

Florida heat is relentless, and regular deodorant is often not going to cut it for a full park day. Lume Whole Body Deodorant is aluminum-free, baking soda-free, and designed to control odor anywhere on your body, not just underarms. It’s doctor-developed and safe for sensitive skin. The unscented version is particularly handy if you’re layering it with a fragrance or sunscreen. Pack it in your bag for a midday refresh and you’ll feel significantly more human by the time you’re watching the evening parade.

view ON AMAZON

Sunscreen Wearing Off

We love this thing!

You applied sunscreen in the morning. It is now 2 PM. You are standing in direct sun at Magic Kingdom. The e.l.f. SKIN All Set For Sun SPF 45 Setting Spray makes reapplication easy and actually doubles as a makeup setting spray so your look stays intact. It’s clear, leaves no white cast, dries quickly, and is fragrance-free. Infused with watermelon fruit extract and prickly pear seed oil, it’s genuinely skin-loving on top of being functional. Toss it in your bag and spray it over your face throughout the day without any fuss.

view ON AMAZON

Surprise Rain

Frogg Toggs Poncho

Florida afternoon storms show up with very little warning, and they mean business. A lightweight rain poncho like the FROGG TOGGS Ultra-lite2 is 100% waterproof, breathable, and packs into its own small stuff sack, so it takes up almost no space.

Silicone Waterproof Shoe Covers

Pair it with a set of Silicone Waterproof Shoe Covers to protect your footwear. Soaked shoes are miserable for the rest of the day, and these slip over almost any shoe style with a waterproof zipper strip for easy on and off.

view ON AMAZON

The Toilet Paper Situation

Toilet Paper

It’s thin, it barely functions, and it’s everywhere in Disney World’s restrooms. For your hotel room, pack a roll or two of your preferred TP or arrange a grocery delivery to your resort. If you want to go the extra mile, keep a small pack of wipes in your park bag for the bathrooms in the parks themselves.

Dehydration

Owala Rapunzel Water Bottle

Disney World will dehydrate you faster than you expect. The Owala Disney Princess FreeSip Insulated Stainless Steel Water Bottle in the Rapunzel colorway keeps drinks cold for up to 24 hours and lets you sip through a built-in straw or swing from the wide-mouth opening. It’s cup-holder friendly and comes with a carry loop that doubles as a lock. Cute, practical, and it genuinely gets you to drink more water throughout the day.

view ON AMAZON

Germs

Touchland and Disney Hand Sanitizer + Mist Case

Disney World is visited by millions of people every year, and they touch (or in some cases, lick) EVERYTHING. The Touchland Disney Mickey Mouse x Hand Sanitizer Spray and Case Set is a hydrating formula with aloe vera and essential oils, so it won’t dry your hands out with repeated use. The Mickey Mouse case clips onto your bag with a metal keyring, which means you’ll actually use it instead of digging around for it. Effective against most common germs, and it smells like a Wild Watermelon dream.

view ON AMAZON

Disney World is one of the best places on earth, and none of these problems should stop you from having an incredible trip. But walking in prepared is always going to beat learning the hard way on day one. A little planning goes a long way when Florida heat and 12-mile days are involved.

We’re always on the hunt for the latest and greatest Disney souvenirs and essentials, so don’t forget to stay tuned to the Disney Food Blog for more!

It’s time to eat!

Disney World hotels are often home to some great dining options as well, especially Deluxe hotels like Animal Kingdom Lodge. When we heard that there were two new menu options over at the Maji Pool Bar in the Kidani Village section of the hotel, we knew we had to give them a try. Our verdict? Let’s just say that there’s a reason we’re already planning our trip back to get them again!

First up on our list was the Spiced Date and Goat Cheese Flatbread for $12.79, which is made with Suya Spice, Sweet Dates, and Creamy Goat Cheese. The chili flakes on this made us a little concerned about the spice level at first, but the spice is so well tamed by the tomato sauce, the cheese, the caramelized onions, and the arugula. You get a pleasant lingering burn after each bite, so if you’re completely spice-adverse, this won’t be for you, but we’d put it at about a medium heat level.

Spiced Date and Goat Cheese Flatbread

The goat cheese is strong enough that it does pleasantly linger on the palate afterwards, and since the tomato sauce doesn’t overpower it, it ends up being a perfectly balanced bite between the acidity and richness of the goat cheese, and then the caramelized onions, and then the spice. We do recommend having a beverage nearby, though, so keep that in mind!

Delicious!

You can also grab the Spiced Chili Nachos for $10.99, which are Tortilla Chips topped with Chili, Melted Cheese, Avocado Crema, and Kachumbari. These were incredible! Kachumbari is a form of African-style salsa with peppers, onion, tomato, and herbs, and it adds a very light, fresh taste to the chili.

Spiced Chili Nachos

The chili is not overly spicy but does have plenty of spices that bring an African spin to nachos that works in every way. The avocado cream is creamy and delicious, and since the queso is layered underneath the chili, every bite has both chili and queso, which is delightful. This is a great poolside snack, and if you get a bite with everything, you’ve got a fantastic mix of flavors.

These are fantastic!

HOKA Clifton 10

While we don’t know just yet exactly what items will be on sale on Prime Day, we have a few guesses on what Disney fans could see go on sale. If you’ve been eyeing some of our favorite items for the Disney parks, you’ll want to keep your eyes peeled. We’re sharing four Disney items that could be part of the Prime Day deals!

This is our favorite bag accessory for our park bags!

HOYOFO Mini Backpack Organizer

This Mini Backpack Organizer is one of our favorite finds. We use this to slide inside our Loungefly Mini Backpacks to organize our items, making it easy to find what we need. We love that we can keep the organizer stocked with our items and simply move it to another Loungefly without having to reorganize a new bag.

Look out for this iconic Disney Adults book on sale!

‘Disney Adults’ by AJ Wolfe

We may be biased here, but we think getting “Disney Adults” on sale is QUITE the steal! Even better, it’s on sale in its hardcover format, which we especially adore, since we love hardcover books on our shelves. Grab it for yourself, you family member who loves Disney, your friend who doesn’t understand why YOU love Disney so much — anyone! We see a lot of books go on sale during prime days, so keep an eye out for this book and other ones you’ve had your eye on to read.

We love these reusable ponchos for the parks!

Frogg Toggs Poncho

We love the Frogg Toggs Ponchos.  It is completely waterproof, which really helps to stay dry on a rainy day. And it is super breathable, which already makes it better than most other ponchos. We have it in green and pink! It’s reliable and even better when it’s on sale.

We are expecting to see some HOKA shoes on sale. However, it is likely that not every size, color, or style is on sale. Keep your eyes out for the HOKA Gaviotas and other styles and colors to see if they are on sale during Prime Day!
