It’s officially that time of the year. We’re entering the hottest months at Disney World.

Not only is it unbearably hot with an incredibly high UV index, it’s also muggy and humid — which makes it feel even hotter. We see several Disney World visitors lugging portable fans into the parks, only to drop them on rides or for their batteries to die or for them to lose charge. Frankly, we often find them to be a waste of money. We have a solution that will allow you to stay cool all day long without any batteries, charging, or pixie dust necessary.

Today, we are here to once again proclaim our love for cooling towels! They’re inexpensive, they fit in your bag and are lightweight, and they’re reusable. The best part? They WORK. They do an excellent job of keeping us cool all day in the parks, and as soon as they’re not keeping us cool anymore, we just re-wet them. Good as new.

We like to stop at quick service dining locations in the park and grab some free ice water to dunk the towels in. This helps ensure that they’re extra cold, instead of using the room-temperature water in the bathrooms or from the fountains.
