"Misty Fans" $17.95 in WDW!

[sharoncity]

My SIL called from WDW last night. She said it's very hot and humid. The fans with the mist spray bottle are a must. Even at $17.95 everyone is buying them. I just ran out and got two at KMart for $7.99 each. Saved $20 even before I got there! Just wanted to give everyone a "heads-up".

We leave in the morning!!!! Can't wait!!!!!

THANKS for the tip - we went last year and bought 2 at MK - I don't remember them being that expensive but we were so hot we would have probably paid twice that!! Leaving in 5 days - of course i don't have the old ones - will have to try our walmart!

I was there last August and yes they were 17 bucks. I refused to pay that even though they felt so good when the cms squirted us. I already bought mine for our august trip this year at walmart for 5.99.

Love those mister fans...but buy em at home before you go.

We bought some last year at Kmart and Target. While they worked OK, they didn't work anywhere as good as the Disney ones. You just couldn't feel the great breeze..the squirt part was okay..but the Dis ones were great fans!

You won't notice any difference anymore....

the fans sold at Disney now are the Squeeze Breeze fans....exactly the same in size, looks, color, everything, as the ones I bought at Wal-Mart last year (on clearance) for 4.00.

The fans even have the name Squeeze Breeze on them. No mention of the Disney name or anything, anymore.

Definitely buy them at home!

Just wondering when you get on the rides what do you do with the misterfan? We are going in the middle of June so I will be taking ours. I do not like carrying alot around but it sounds like we will need them. Thanks,,,,, Corvair

when we bought ours in MK they came with long canvas straps that you could cross over your shoulder/chest (kind of like how you would wear a long-strapped pocketbook)

 

[DMRick]

the fans sold at Disney now are the Squeeze Breeze fans....

Are they the same brand name, and the same bottle, or different? We have a Squeeze Breeze that is really junky..junkier than the first one we bought..hardly any wind (well, the wind feels fine, when it's in the 40's, but not in the high 80's!). I didn't notice the Dis name on them last year..anyone who bought one know if they are a higher quality squuze breeze? I think ours are really junky..and we planned on buying the dis ones..that one was wonderful..I'll be so disappointed.

 

[Poohlovr]

These are exactly the same Squeeze Breeze fans as sold at Wal-Mart. Same brand name, same bottle. same colors, even. On the bottle, in big letters, "Squeeze Breeze".
The shipping boxes even say "Squeeze Breeze" on them.

Trust me--they are exactly the same fans as sold at your local discount store--only they cost a lot more!

3.99 for the small and 7.99 for the large and Toys R Us has a bunch of different kinds one of the fans was for 7.99 then a saw a hat with a fan on it, then a saw a fan that clips on the stoller viser the thing you pull over they heads I looked at it real close it runs on batteries and there is no way there fingers can touch the blades.

I have a squeeze breeze bottle fan from Wal Mart. I took it a couple of years ago and it worked fantastic, I will be using it this July!!! I have never had a problem with it.

I didn't realize mine wasn't that good til I tried Disney's last year. We were thrilled with it, until we used a Disney one..and it was FAN tastic. I also didn't realize that Misty Fans came is several different "models" until last year.

Thanks to everyone on the DIS!!! I got my "Misty Fan" at Wal-Mart today for $5.96 and I love it. It's Model #2050 in case anyone wants to compare it with the ones at WDW. I got the green one (DS favorite color!) and it says SQEEZE BREEZE on the front. I also read on the inside that if the fan does not work well or runs backwards to check the batteries. I put long-lasting Panasonic Plus Alkaline batteries in mine and I'm very satisfied. At this price I can afford to buy two compared to the WDW price. Anyway, I'm thankful to all you guys who educated me on the Misty Fans!

How funny that those fans don't even have the Disney logo anymore! Disney is really cutting corners everywhere.

I bought mine at Wal-mart last year too. It was a must in August! It is still in perfect shape so we are taking it with us this year.

But my advice is to get it out of the package and check it out. We bought two last year and one of them "sucks in" air rather than fan it. Weird, but I'd replaced it if I'd known earlier.

Wanda on the one that sucks check the batterys to make sure they aren't in the wrong way. Change them and see if it helps.

 

[Humpbacks1962]

I will do that, Tink, but I'd think that if the batteries are in the wrong way there'd be no current rather than air flowing in the wrong direction. I think it could be that the way the foamies are attached is wrong.

But I'll try that, thanks

We bought a Disney one at WDW last month. It was $16 before tax.

Anyone buy these in central NJ? I've been to KMart & Walmart without luck..

 

[dtauer]

If you find an "old" Disney style mister left at the parks grab it! These are the ones with a opaque white base and have a Mickey head on them. We bought one of the old style 5 years ago for a little under $20 and it's been running great since.

We've gone through 4 of the Kmart/Walmart/Target style with the clear base and they've all been broken, and I don't think any of them have gone through a significant amount of abuse.

If I could find one, I'd gladly pay the $20, instead of $5.99 and have one that will last.
