Dealing with the Florida heat in Disney.

July 15, 2008 · Filed Under Uncategorized 

We had figured that it was going to get quite hot in Disney, we were there in June after all and it didn’t disappoint! 90F (32C) as an average day time temp!

Booked a pool home for this reason. The plan was to get into the parks early, while cooler and less crowded. Stay around until 12noon or 1pm and the then head back to the villa or more precisely the pool, grab some food, some rest and laze around or in the pool for an hour or two.

Then once refreshed hit the parks again around 3 or 4, by this time many of the folks that that been there since morning are leaving and it gets less crowded. As far as I know, pretty much all the Disney tickets allow you to exit the park and re-enter the same park on the same day. Plus at this time of the year the parks stay open quite late (except Animal Kingdom) so its good to take a break.

Definitely need to keep hydrated, we found freezing bottles of water the night before and bringing them into the park helped quite a bit and much cheaper than buying in Disney! Despite all the dire warnings you’ll see on websites you can bring your own drink & food into Disney and it does help cut down on the cost.

Pop into the shops when ever you can (not to buy anything!), or the underrated exhibits/attractions, they are air-conditioned and can be a very welcome break from the heat.
