3. Audible – Keep sane in long lines

Can’t stand long boring flights, long boring drives, and long boring lines? Audible.com might become your new favorite pastime for making hours fly. Unabridged audiobooks have become our go-to time sink for road trips, flights, and waiting in long lines at Walt Disney World. You can get the whole family plugged in listening to an audiobook using a headphone splitter like this one that we mentioned in our article about device hacks—just make sure you keep the line moving and put everything away before its time for pre-shows and boarding. Most unabridged audiobooks are long enough to fill even the lengthiest road trips and certainly cover the time it takes to board the busiest attractions at theme parks.

You can either buy audiobooks individually from Audible.com or sign up for a free membership trial. If you are a new user, you can get two audiobooks for free using this promotion —more than enough for a Walt Disney World vacation!

4. Relax Melodies – Keep calm… Just keep calm

Walt Disney World is a fun place, but it can also be a stressful one. Whether you have kids overwhelmed by the noise or if you struggle with social anxiety, sometimes you just need to be able to tune out the craziness and calm down.

If you bring a light pair of in-ear headphones with you, Relax Melodies is a great app for tuning out the bluster of the parks. Users can customize an extensive range of soundscapes using nature noise, relaxing music, white noise, binaural beats, and even isochronic tones to create your own private atmosphere of calm. It is a great option for settling little ones who need a nap, and it has become a must-use tool for long flights for us. It is also an awesome sleep aid. I almost can’t sleep without turning it on. If you are used to a specific set of sounds to fall asleep at home (even the hum of a city), try it out. The free version has a wide range of sounds, but I personally have found the paid version to be worth every penny.
