Hi Joan,
Thanks for visiting Disney Parks Moms Panel.
I can share that over the years I've visited Walt Disney World in every month and season in all kinds of weather, and I can say for sure that staying cool and comfortable is key to vacation bliss. What comes to mind for me when you mention folding fans are the traditional hand fans often made from paper or silk and often colorful and decorative. I'm thinking you can likely find something like that in the Mitsukoshi Department Store at
Epcot's Japan Pavilion or another World Showcase Pavilion. You can also find misting cooling fans — a handheld spray bottle with a fan — like this
Mickey Mouse and Friends Disney Parks Misting Fan at merchandise locations around the theme parks For me personally, when it comes to staying comfortable, I like to have at the ready anything I think I might need as I'm out and about in the theme parks such as a pocket rain jacket, a foldable fan, or some other essential item. I also like to use the super easy and convenient
Shop Disney Parks App on my mobile phone to help locate specific merchandise around Walt Disney World Resort. Keep in mind, too, that
Disney Springs is a fun and fantastic shopping destination for the everyday items and those special-somethings.
Joan, I hope this information is helpful. Please do come back to us with any questions you have as you plan your magical Walt Disney World vacation.
Enjoy your Disney!
Jerry
