"Misty Fans" $17.95 in WDW!

[mars315]

I was looking for the Squeeze Breezes around here and could not find them. I logged onto the company website and checked out the list of retail outlets. Lo and behold, there was the Disney Store listed, as well as the parks (i.e. Animal Kingdom). I was a little surprised, because I remembered from our last Disney trip that the misting fans sold in the parks seemed superior to our Squeeze Breeze for one simple reason: the Disney park type had a big wide opening where you could put big ice cubes right in through the neck of the bottle. The Squeeze Breeze bottles have much narrower necks. You'd have to use little ice cubes, which of course melt faster. I tought that I'd buy one Squeeze Breeze here at WalMart, and then spring for the deluxe park version. But if the parks are only selling Squeeze Breeze brand...

By the way, I bought them at WalMart and paid $3.00 each! They are definitely this years models. Green and a sort of reddish, IIRC.

We were in Disney April 13-20. We bought a blue water bottle spray fan for $17.00. Ours does have Magic Kingdom written on it plus pictures of DW. As we walked around we saw the Squeeze Breeze bottles for the same price! Shop around before you break down and buy one. If you are going to pay that much it might as well say WDW!

We bought two of these last year at MK...It is blue with a red fan on them...I love them...it has the MK name and pictures of Disney World on them...we actually got them just for the kids because it was so hot out, but I think DH and I were using them more! LOL! The fans were awesome and the work really well!! They are cute and I am glad we bought them! The kids use them at home as well, when needed!

I found a small 'keychain fan' at Rite-Aid for $1.99, and a mister for $5.99, I am set for WDW 6/2-6/8 ! !

We were at WDW a few days ago and like the above poster, we also bought a Disney water squirter fan (I had never used one before but it was HOT and the kids were so much more pleasant to be around once they used it) We did see the white squeeze breeze ones being sold as well. I would suggest that it is a good purchase and if you can get them for less money somewhere thats even better. I guess if you want to avoid the cost of it, there are also those "cool you off when you stand under them " places, like near Buzz lightyear. That one sounds like a soda being opened and poured and then a mist of water sprays out under a canopy. People were really using that spot a lot too, along with a bunch of cute little birds.
As far as taking the squirter fan on rides, i carry a straw bag with me and i just put it in there when one of the kids didn't want to wear it.

I can find the fans, but none of them have the strap. Anyone find one recently with the strap attached?

the target near us is selling the ones with the strap for $6

The Squeeze Breeze bottles w/ fans that I bought at Walmart have an opening in the side for large ice cubes. Thought you might want to look for those!

Just one more thought....

It's probably stupidity on my part, but I thought the Misty Fans at Walmart would be in the seasonal stuff, or with the lawn chairs and other vacation/summer paraphanalia. But, low and behold, they are with the fans!!! What logic!!!

My Walmart had three kinds - the teeny one (looked like a waste of batteries), a "sports" one - where the bottle was a baseball or soccor ball or whatever, and the clear color ones that everyone is talking about. All were Squeeze Breeze. I got the clear one -- it has the large opening on the back for cubes. Haven't tested it yet - and really should since I leave MONDAY!!!

Another safety tip - if you have more than one Walmart - hit them all, because the selection was very different at another Walmart (only the sports ones).

There ya go!
