Mini Misting Fans?

[poohs_hunny]

Has anyone seen any mini misting fans this year? I think it was two years ago that I found these at Wal-Mart, and they were much easier to carry around the parks than the full sized ones. I still have mine, but I am taking a trip with my godson this summer, and I'd like to buy him one. I can't find them anywhere this year, or anything similar. Have they been discontinued? Here is a picture of what they look like:

Thanks for any help!

Ohhh! These are awesome! Would love to find them too!
Anyone?

I got something similar at Walmart too last year. My guess is they just haven't been out yet. OUr Walmart is just getting the seasonal merchandise.

DH really loved having ours last year. It was right up there with the rain ponchos!

I also got mine last year, I want to say I saw them already this year on an end cap... I can't think what department it was though..

They are wonderful, I took mine in July last year, forgot it one day in the parks, I was not a happy camper! They are wonderful!

I got mine last year on an endcap in the hardware section. I keep it on an extended backup keychain in my car so I always have it when traveling.

I will be on the lookout for these as well.

Just purchased 2 about 2 weeks ago at K-mart. They were on a display with screen products. I have seen them last year at Walmart, but they are just starting to get this summer things out.

I got one at K-Mart for $3.99 - the same one in the picture. I wanted to see if it worked and it was great - now I have to go get two more so the kids don't fight over them!

I just picked up 2 O2COOL misting fans at Walmart today for 99 cents each!!
They were in the summer section by the beachtowels!
What a great deal since they are 17.99 at Disneyworld!

I bought one of these last year at Wal Mart. Stopped working the day ofter I bought it..why....I have no clue. It was cute and small enought though. Maybe I'll buy another. They went quick at Wal Mart last year. I haven't seen them yet.

This is exactly why I bought ours at Disney World, UtahMama gave the advice to get them there because everyone of the misters she bought at Wal-Mart petered out before they could even get close to WDW. She said that at least at the park if something happens with the mister they will replace it right away. If the batteries die out, if the fan stops working, or if you run out of water they will replace it. Just keep your receipt.
Oh and my daughter wanted one of these any way because she had seen everyone with them and thought they were pretty neat since you could wear them around your neck. She still has it.

Not as cute, but I saw the Misty Mates at Safeway, of all places. They were
with the summer plates, cups, etc.

 

[minniemee]

Strange as it seems those cheap fans at Walmart , well the one that I could find, is on its third trip to Disney and is still working just fine!
Go figure!

I have been looking for those too! I have been to Walmart almost daily to see if they get any in. So far they have every other type of spray fan on the shelves. I also checked two more area walmarts with no luck. Wish we had a Kmart in our area. I love love love these little spray fans. Ours were going strong after three years and then my DS lost one at an airshow last summer and I am desperate to find another one.

I totally scoured Walmart today for the minimister fan. I found one called O2Cool; but there was no fan attached

I did come across and buy a thingy called "MistyMate." I got the 2.5 oz personal mister. It is small but has nothing to hang it on my bag - arg!

It is a pump thing and the pump seems to hang off the bottom of the bottle.

Anyone know anything about this, please

I went back to WalMart yesterday and saw the little misting fans are selling out, there were only a few left!
They were on a side aisle display here in Spring, TX.
I have used the bottles with fans before, they work great. They are just too big to tote into the parks for me!

Our Walmart (SC) has them. We took one to Dollywood last year--awesome!!

I only found a small fan with No mister at walmart. I am also looking for a fan they used to have years ago that had a soft blade that attached to the strolelr.. anyone have ideas where to get one ?? I did buy one of the small fans for my daughter who is 5 the reason I liked it is because the blades are behind a cover and she cant get her fingers into them I saw some sure ones at the dollar tree they light up but no blade cover on them ..
