Forgot hand warmers or gloves? What the parks sell
The official FAQ says the parks sell "rain gear," "chargers" and "hand warmers / cooling packs," among other things. In the Tokyo Disney Resort app, choose "hand warmers" in the map's product filter to find shops that carry them. The FAQ also warns that stores and stock can change and items may sell out. We couldn't confirm gloves or scarves in an official source, so bring them from home.
