Hiya Karen,
Thank you so much for stopping by planDisney with your planning question! I love that you’re thinking ahead about umbrellas—after all, in true Florida fashion, you never know when Tía Pepa’s mood from Encanto might roll in and bring a sudden rain shower.
So, let’s jump right into your question. You’ll be happy to know that umbrellas are perfectly allowed in the parks—they’re not on the
prohibited items list. I do recommend bringing along a compact umbrella, though. That way, you can easily tuck it into your park bag or pocket when the sun is shining. Keeping your hands free means you’ll be ready to enjoy all those classic Disney snacks—like a Mickey-shaped ice cream bar, a warm pretzel, or maybe even a Dole Whip!
Another must-pack for your magical day? A refillable water bottle. Each park has water
refill stations available, which is a real lifesaver on those warm Florida days. Staying hydrated helps keep you energized from rope drop to fireworks.
One last tip, Karen: be sure to check out the
Disney Parks Blog before your trip. It’s like your own Fairy Godmother when it comes to the latest updates on new treats, merchandise, and special events—you’ll always be in the know and ready to make the most of your magical visit.
Karen, I hope this helps you feel prepared for your adventure. If you have any more questions, don’t hesitate to come back to planDisney.
See ya real soon (rain or shine),
Christina
