Stay comfortable, happy, and ready for adventure: our favorite Amason Prime Day theme park essentials

Amazon Prime Day is here! Do you have a trip to Walt Disney World, Universal Orlando, or any of the many central Florida theme parks soon? Between the long days, and unpredictable Florida weather, it is a good idea to take a few things to the theme parks with you to make your trip more enjoyable. We have rounded up some our Amazon Prime Day theme park essentials.

Before we jump in, a quick heads-up: these are our favorite Amazon essentials for theme park days in Orlando. Some may be part of Prime Day deals, while others are simply great finds we swear by year-round.

Here are some of our favorite theme park necessities to snag off of Amazon!

Theme park must-haves for comfort

When you’re spending a full day at Walt Disney World or Universal Orlando, comfort is everything. Here are a few Amazon Prime Day favorites we never hit the parks without — perfect for keeping cool, hydrated, and comfortable.

1. Portable fan

We have this fan for our stroller, but it doubles as a great cooling mechanism for adults as well. It comes with three speeds, a light, and pliable legs for easy attachment to just about any bar or handle. 

2. Water bottle

This insulated water bottle will keep your water, or other beverage, icy and cool for hours on end. I also love its two-part screw-top bottle design. The leakproof black cap keeps the contents sealed throughout the day making it safe to toss into a bag without having to worry about anything spilling out.

Other options:

Harry Potter themed

3. Shoes

These are, in my opinion, the most comfortable shoes. I can walk for miles without pain. Plus, there’s a style to accommodate virtually any personal preference or need.

Rainy day essentials

Let’s be honest — the weather in Orlando can change faster than a roller coaster drop. One minute it’s storming like crazy, the next the sun comes out shining faster than you can say supercalifragilisticexpialidocious . If you’re headed to Disney or Universal, it’s smart to keep a few rainy day essentials in your park bag. Here are our favorite Amazon finds (and Prime Day deals) to help you stay dry and keep the fun going, no matter what Florida skies decide to do.

1. Rain ponchos

A classic go to to keep dry. A rain jacket works as well, but central Florida can be very hot. A jacket may keep you a little too toasty in the hot Florida sun. Ponchos are also much more compact and help you travel light while in the parks. A bonus feature is the ability to use them on waterrides like Tiana’s Bayou Adventure to keep dry. 

2. Stroller cover

I have never been happier about a park purchase than I was with this stroller cover. It is hard to take strollers into certain indoor establishments. Leaving your stroller out in the elements might be your only choice.  When it rains, we typically take on the closest indoor attraction. We will put all of our belongings in the stroller and then place this cover on top. Our stuff stays dry!

 Necessities for kids

Keeping little ones happy at the parks is no small task. Here are our favorite Amazon finds for families — practical, packable, and perfect for long days at Disney and Universal.

1. Stroller

This is more than just a stroller, it is our pack mule. I am a slight overpreparer for all situations, so I use every bit of available storage space. This one is especially nice to lay back for littles to enjoy naps in the park and not have to travel back to the hotel.  

2. Noise reducing headphones

These are perfect for firework displays or other shows where loud noises are to be expected. My toddler enjoyed wearing them.

3. Snack pouch

I love to keep my stuff organized, so individually packed snacks loose in my bag will not cut it. I love having this pouch to easily locate all of the snacks in one place. 

Bonus options:
Stoney Clover Lane dupe
Disney snacks

Can’t-go-without theme park essentials

These might seem small, but they’re total game-changers once you’re in the parks. These Amazon favorites are the unsung heroes of any Orlando theme park day.

1. Portable charger

You want to keep your device charged to keep in touch with your group, if traveling with one, check wait times, and of course to be ready to take a photo in a snap. We love this one. It was able to fully charge two devices. It also has multiple port options in one charger

2. Sunscreen

The Florida sun is no joke. This sunscreen is perfect for a super quick application. A bonus feature is my children do not put up a fight when I brush it on. 

3. Sunglasses

You will be grateful for these during your stroll around the park, watching a parade or outdoor show. I personally prefer a cheaper option for theme park days. Don’t forget a strap to keep them secure when hopping on a ride. 

Wrapping it up

A successful day at Disney or Universal in Orlando starts with the right preparation — and having the right gear can make all the difference. From staying comfortable in the Florida heat to keeping little ones happy and making sure your phone stays charged, these Amazon Prime Day theme park essentials have you covered for an unforgettable theme park experience. Whether you’re shopping for comfort, convenience, or last-minute lifesavers, a little planning goes a long way in keeping your day smooth, fun, and stress-free. Don’t wait — grab your favorites while the Prime Day deals last and make every theme park day one to remember!
