Portable fan for room

[Mtraynom]

I will be staying at AKL in December, and the rooms do not have a ceiling fan. I have to have air blowing on my face to sleep, no matter the temp outside or in the room. I'm thinking of bringing a small portable fan with me and setting it on the bedside table. Has anyone else done this? Did it work and if so, what kind of fan did you bring?

A lot of DVC members report keeping fans in their Owners Lockers for routine use. I don’t think you’re unusual.

I went to Target and bought a $17 Honeywell Turbo Force Table Air Circulator fan that worked great. It actually fit in my suitcase and I brought it home with me. You could just go to your local Target, buy this fan, and pack it on your way there.

I was actually planning on just leaving it in the hallway for someone to take after I checked out. $17 is cheap enough to be disposable. But it fit in my largest suitcase so I brought it home.

Have fan, will travel. We take a fan with us …always. Not only for circulation but white noise.

This is the exact fan my husband insists on bringing with us everywhere we travel to - he LOVES it!

I typically always request a box fan from housekeeping, with no issues. However, it wasn't at a DVC resort, so I'm not sure if they're available at all resorts.

I did notice a portable window fan outside a room at POP last week but already had mine that I brought.
I have to have a fan to circulate the air and to muffle noise .

We bring a fan to every hotel we stay at (including Disney).

We have 3 of them. They are multiplying.

Yup I travel with a fan and used at Disney. I do unplug when we leave the room and just put out of the way.

They are, but they sound like a jet engine. Way too loud for us. We aren't "white noise" people, we just like the air movement.

 

[VicarJT]

Always. We take two sleep fans with us, and they really help with both the wind on our faces and blocking some of the sound from other rooms.

Buy a USB travel fan and a USB extension cord on Amazon.

Thanks for the suggestions! I'll check out the Honeywell at Target

The box looks big, but the fan itself has a slim profile and fits in one half of my hardshell 29" suitcase. It's a great fan.
