We bought some cheapie water shoes from a local outdoors shop then threw them away before flying home.

The really good quality ziplock type bags aren’t that easy to find in the UK; we bought ours from Amazon but I gather that Morrison’s now stock them too.

For water bottles, we each have a 550ml Bobble bottle with carry cap to which we add a carabiner to allow it to be hooked onto a belt loop or rucksack. The bottles contain a filter which removes the swamp water taste of Disney water fountain water. Again, we bought ours from Amazon although you can sometimes find them in places like the House of Fraser.

Tesco’s or one of the supermarkets with a camping section will have some of these. I got £2 ponchos from them, plus mini fans etc.

Boots will have the gel insoles and travel accessories.

Also, Boots will have travel sized toiletries. It’s a good idea to at least have a mini sun-Cream, toothpaste, deodorant etc in your hand luggage (plus a change of underwear and tees, swim shorts) just in case of luggage delays.

I'd get a portable power bank to keep your phone charged. I have a smaller, lightweight Mimoco one with a Star Wars design and a larger, slightly heavier, Anker Powercore one. With all the FastPass searching, wait time checking, and photo-taking I do during the day, my phone would be dead by dinnertime without it.

With prev poster on portable charger, I had a case which was an extra battery which was great. We had a great cooling spray from Superdrug which lasted the whole 2 weeks and was a life saver just to spray on arms. Also I brought a face mist from Primark which was cucumber and green tea and really freshened you up when felt hot and sticky.

For other items I’d just say search eBay or amazon for cheapest prices. I have a bobble bottle also but haven’t used it over there, I bring the aluminium type bottles (mine was from Walmart but boyfriend got his in TK Maxx) and we would fill with water from fridge in morning and would stay freezing cold all day. I still use it now.

Interesting I’ve never thought to bring my bobble bottle! Does it really filter the fountain water? That stuff makes me gag :depressed:

Well, we travel as a family of 5 adults and it works for all of us. Certainly worth a try although unlike your aluminium bottle, the water doesn’t stay cold all day.

Sports direct do water shoes we get ours there 2 adults and a child.

I found the cooling towels worked fine but also carry a microfiber towel that food really small incase of water ride or after Florida downpour to dry seats or to put down to sit on for parades.

I bought the flat bottles and took 3 but never used them as bought a case of water and took these each day to the parks. You can also buy tiny d iilute juice flavours in your bag to mask the water flavour.

Ziplock bags I get from Home Bargains they are strong and reusable and you can get small or large size really cheaply. You could also pick up gel inserts, water ponchos and other bits like that there too.

With the power banks for the phones i would check with whichever airline you are travelling with if there is any restrictions as to the size that can be taken onboard/hold luggage.
