Disney-recommended budget hiking item offers a double advantage as a summer hack, reveals social media posts.
In the sweltering heat of summer, Disney World can be a challenge for guests. But fear not, as a new accessory is making waves among park-goers seeking relief - cooling towels.
Originally designed for hikers and athletes, these budget-friendly, reusable, and easy-to-pack towels have found a new home at Disney World. Cooling towels work by the simple yet effective process of evaporation, offering a cooling effect that can last for hours.
One of the most popular cooling towels is the Frogg Togg Cooling Tower, renowned for its hyper-evaporative properties. It remains effective as long as it is wet, making it ideal for prolonged use. Another option is the Alfamo Cooling Bandanna, offering a convenient and stylish way to stay cool, often used around the neck or head.
For those looking for a more economical choice, Sukeen's 4 Pack Cooling Towels are a great option. They are easy to use: simply soak them in water, wring them out, and wear them around your neck.
Keeping a cooling towel handy can help regulate body temperature, especially in hot park conditions, and is important for safety, especially for children and older adults. TikTok user @thewessicaway recommends packing multiple cooling towels in a small ziplock bag for convenience.
Cooling towels can be re-wet at park water fountains or with Disney World's free water found at quick service restaurants. For an extra chill, some suggest keeping a cooling towel chilled in a bag or cooler filled with ice.
These ultra-lightweight towels take up minimal space in a park bag and are gaining popularity on TikTok as an effective method for surviving hot park days at Disney World. Holding a cooling towel in front of a car's air conditioning vent provides an "extra boost of chilliness".
Cooling towels are not just for hikers and athletes anymore, but also for Disney World guests seeking relief from the heat. In a video by @megann_jess, viewers can see a cooling towel themed to Goofy worn around her neck. Other creators on TikTok coordinate cooling towels with their park outfits.
Most cooling towels are machine washable and can be reused day after day. The CADONO brand cooling towel is available on Amazon for $8, and a more groovy version from Eunzel is available for $17 on Amazon.
Whether you're a seasoned Disney World visitor or a first-timer, a cooling towel is a must-have accessory for those hot summer days. As @outoftownmagic puts it, she will take her cooling towel back to Disney every time. So, pack yours today and beat the heat at Disney World!
Travel guides might suggest incorporating cooling towels into one's lifestyle for a more enjoyable adventure at Disney World, as these accessories are gaining popularity among park-goers for outdoor-living and home-and-garden hacks. For instance, Sukeen's 4 Pack Cooling Towels can be easily carried in a bag, making them an ideal accessory for staying cool during hot park conditions.
