You can never be too prepared for a trip to the Magic Kingdom.
Our team has been to the Magic Kingdom hundreds of times collectively, and there are some items that we never leave behind. However, that wasn’t always the case. These are some essential items that we wish we would have known about much earlier.

FuelRod
What else can we say about FuelRods? If you’ve been to Walt Disney World in the last decade, you know these chargers. They’re small, portable, and have interchangeable ports to charge any brand of phone. And, the biggest bonus of all, you can exchange them for fully powered ones at kiosks across Walt Disney World property so you’ll never need to charge it while on your trip. Of course, there is a drawback to Fuelrods: Specifically, they hold less of a charge than many other chargers, so you’ll probably need to exchange your rod a few time during the day in order to keep your phone fully charged.
Silicone Shoe Covers
Available in multiple colors, these silicone shoe covers will do a fantastic job of keeping your feet nice and dry even in the midst of one of Central Florida’s near-daily rain storms, as well as other activities including going to the beach, camping, hiking, fishing, traveling, cycling, shooting and hiking.
Frogg Toggs
We have tried A LOT of ponchos at Walt Disney World over the years, and this is BY FAR our favorite. This poncho – – available on Amazon in multiple colors, including this striking hot pink – – had several features that we simply adored. The material allowed the rain to slip right off, and between that and the lack of sleeves, we didn’t feel steamed or hot underneath. On top of the that, the pinch was large enough that our backpack was able to fit underneath it comfortably, while still keeping the bag and out back completely covered from the rain.
Loop Switch Ear Plugs
These adjustable, noise-cancelling ear plugs are great for watching the fireworks without blowing out your eardrums. They feature “three levels of noise reduction in one convenient earplug.” They feature Quiet, Engage and Experience Modes for “instant, in-the-moment relief.” According to the manufacturer, “the redesigned Loop Switch 2 Ear Tips come in four sizes (XS, S, M, L), ensuring a great seal and secure fit, no matter your ear size.”
Autograph Book
For decades, autograph books have been a central souvenir at the heart of the Disney theme park experience as kids – – and even some adult collectors – – use them to gather signatures from all their favorite Disney character performers. However, the cold truth is that you should never buy one at the parks thanks to the prices. You can find one on Amazon for over 50% less.
Every single one of these items is integral for a day at the Magic Kingdom, and you should definitely grab them before your next trip. Stay tuned to DFB for more Magic Kingdom tips!
