Anything anyone can tell me would be helpful, we will be at WDW in August and trying to come up with ways to "beat the heat"!
Thanks!

Yes, they work very well.

I have one and it works very well and feels very good on a hot day

By the way I got mine at Wal-mart, not near as expensive there.

REALLY!?! Thanks...I'll have to check that out!

That looks so COOL.

It has been a while but I got mine at Sam's Club. I love those things. I used mine for years while my DD was on a competitive softball team and we spent all summer in the heat playing ball tournements. Well worth whatever they cost but I would sure check out Wal Mart, Sam's Club anywhere else before I would play the price on the internet.

They have some on QVC today in a pkg with the cooling bandanas. Theyre not as nice, but look like they'll still do a good job (and may fit into a backpack a little better). At qvc.com, do a search for F0404. The whole thing is only $19.99.

I'm looking for cooling stuff right now, too, for our August trip. And I just left the MistMate site. I thought they were VERY expensive with all their products.

Good luck with your search!

I LOVE my MistyMate!!! I got mine several years ago at BJ's. I just bought a couple of the MistyMate Jr's at Walgreen's for 10.00 each. I read that tip on the good old Dis Boards!! I like the size of the Jr ones better, although they do not have the cover on them. I never carry much water in my big one anyway--too heavy. Good luck with the shopping!!!

We bought ours on ebay for our Disney trip last year in May and can I tell you we wouldnt have survived without it!!!!

and since then we have bought for my brother as well --just to have when out at sporting events, etc

I highly recommend them---

I don't mean to sound stupid, but why don't you just get a fan with the bottle attached???? I bought mine from the Disney store by my house for
$ 7.50!!! It works great too! Is the misty thing really worth an extra $70.00???????

 

[wright1baby]

Actually...like OP said that it was waaaay too expensive and I am waaay too much of a cheapskate to pay $70 for the Mistymate. However the second link was to a boaters website that had the same one for $25.99. That didn't sound too bad. I do have the fan waterbottles and they do take batteries. Just thought I would ask opinions and see what kind of experiences people have had with the MistyMate. Sounds like overall it is pretty positive and I will probably but one. Thanks for everyones feedback

I just ordered this set and got a note on my door yesterday from FedEx... I can't wait to actually get them and see how they work. I read about them here and after reading that people were finding them at WalMart I decided to step foot in the place and didn't find them anywhere... so I ordered them from QVC. I don't think I'll put that bandana thing around my neck though!!! hehehe

We just bought the fans with the mister bottle for my kids who were 2 & 3 last year and they worked great for keeping them cool and refreshed without costing us an arm and leg.

Wow Great price!! I swear by mine and will not go anywhere outdoors when it is hot and humid without it!! Cools you right down and works great!!!

I HIGHLY recommend the Misty Mate. We've done WDW the last 2 times in June/July and they are worth their weight in GOLD, lol!

We fill ours with ice and a little water from the resort just before leaving in the morning. The fine water mist is just sooooooo wonderful during the hot day. We had a lot of folks ask us if we wouldn't mind giving their kiddos a little spray with it to help their kids cool off a bit.

I found mine at Walmart. I have our original one that has lasted us 5 years so far and another brand new one that I picked up on clearance last winter. They are in the back of the store near the paint/auto/lightbulb/flashlight/wallpaper section. Just browse those aisles and you'll wind up finding it. I think the regular price last year was somewhere in the 20-25 range.

We attach ours to the stroller, but it does come with straps to put it wherever you like. I think you could easily attach it to a belt or to a fanny pack/backpack easily.

 

[wright1baby]

Thanks again for all the replies...we will have one for August!

I picked mine up a few years ago at Walgreens - many many years ago!! We also kept ice in ours, the only thing is it does get heavy, so we dont always carry it - we got a fan/water bottle too -

I will say the misty mate gives less "water" in your face than the spray bottle effect - but the spray bottle isnt as heavy, the misty mate has a shoulder strap that you can sling over your shoulder ...

I just bought one at walmart today for $13.99. I've had the little ones and they didn't seem to last too long. I'm hoping we can strap this big one to the stroller.
