BWV - Box fan from Mousekeeping

[summerskye]

We have a trip planned at Thanksgiving for 10 nights. I need a fan for sleep. I need both the sound and the air movement. Since we are flying in from Texas, packing a box type fan is not really an option. I have heard of people obtaining one via Mousekeeping. Does anyone know if this is still possible. Or if anyone has any ideas, please provide. I thought about getting one with garden grocer but $30 for something I will "throw" away doesn't make since to me. Thanks in advance.

If you “ need” a fan then I believe the only way to be certain is to bring it or have one delivered. Did you check Amazon pricing? I know you said it doesn’t make since( sic - sense) to you but that is your only guarantee. Youcan chance that there is one to request once you arrive, but there may not be.

Good point. (since - sense) gotta love auto correct.

We have always requested, and received, one from Mousekeeping. Worst case, they don't have one... Uber to Target, or have Amazon Prime deliver one.

I didn't think about that. Good idea. I could make it a night if needed, then have Amazon Prime as my backup. Thanks

Does it have to be a box fan? I have a small fan that I pack, as many of my family members do. Or how about an ap on your phone?

Doesn't have to be a box fan. But most of the smaller fans don't give me both the sound and air movement that helps me sleep. With a 10 day trip, I am trying to keep luggage to 1 per person and under 50lbs each. 2nd bag charges are crazy.

Most AC’s have a fan option to just run the fan. Doesn’t move it as fast as a box fan and you can’t aim it. I always turn it on at hotels. For noise I use a Dohm noise generator. It’s a must for the amount of travel I do and hiding hotel noises.

A smaller desk fan from a local store would only cost $10 or so and would be easy to pack.

I always get a box fan from disney. been 10 times in last 3 years and got it everytime.

I'm right there with you. I go with the little fans that have the clip. Cheap and easy to pack. You can usually clip it on the nightstand and have it right beside your face. Then I use a sound machine app.

Asking for something suspicious like a box fan is going to ensure multiple security visits interrupting your sleep. It's for your safety.

I don't know for sure about BWV, but all of the moderate resorts I have stayed in have a ceiling fan that provides a lot of air movement. You could couple that with a white noise app on your phone - I like Relax Melodies which is free and has a ton of different sounds.

We stayed at BWV last year and had a ceiling fan. I also love the white noise of a box fan, but last year I bought a white noise machine on Amazon, which has many different fan-like sounds and volume control, and it's small enough to pack a suitcase. It works amazing and now we bring it on all vacations!

I'm no fan of box fans. But I love ceiling fans for air movement and my phone's white noise app of a rainforest rain shower. Sure to drown out everything except the trash dumpsters being dropped on the backside of WL and the Pool jet blowers at All stars.

Amazon Prime- that's what I would do -

I understand the need for a box fan - we are the same way. Other little fans, ceiling fans, a/c fans, apps - just don't cut it. What I wanted to add - we travel with our box fan and once our nice bellhop was bring our stuff to our room at the Poly. He chuckled in a friendly way and said "FYI, No need to bring a box fan. We have tons of these in bell services". So what I would do is ask for one, and if they don't have any, then see if you can get one from Prime Now.
