If you use all caps it complains. If you hadn’t, it would have allowed it.

When we went in May 2019, two things that I was really glad to have were cooling towels and a hat. Keeping the sun off your face makes a big difference, and the cooling towels feel really nice. We had a fan that I wasn’t very impressed with - it just felt like it was blowing hot air back at us. The misting ones might be better but idk about with masks.

Yes. Completely agree.

We bought uv blocking umbrellas to help with sun and temperatures. Supposed to have spf 50 and reduce temps up to 30 degrees :woman_shrugging:

These sound awesome - where did you find them? I don’t know that I’ll use them for WDW, but we have a local festival where we are sitting in direct sun for 4 days and these would be great for that.

They have some different colors and one bigger size, but since we will be using them while on ECVs I kept it to the 2 smaller sizes. There are other companies but I try to stay with Totes.

Make sure you look at the length of the handle. We have a Disney umbrella and used it once b/c the handle was short, which meant we had to hold our arm higher and caused arm fatigue.
