Soak, snap and drape. A cooling towel takes the edge off a 45-minute midday queue in July.

Anker MagGo Power Bank (10,000mAh)
Park apps, mobile ordering and photos kill a battery by 3 p.m. This one snaps on magnetically, so there's no cable to snag on a restraint.

Sports Glasses Straps (3-Pack)
Ride with your glasses on and keep them. Many parks allow glasses on rides if they're strapped, so check the ride rules first.
