Agh!! The Hot.. Hot... Heat...

[BATBkindagirl]

Anyone truly disturbed by the heat? We get so icky and sweaty and hate it and may be cutting our trip short in JULY.. (we just came back from Disney.. still going back in the end of June though)...


Any tips?? LOL

Go early, leave before, at, or right after lunch, take a pool break, shower, and go back out in the evening (after the thunderstorm!).

That's why we go in November, December or January?

We usually go in early Apr or Oct. Weather is pleasant in the 70s, nice for touring and swimming. This year we went in May and it was too hot for us!!! Temps in the 80s and low 90s. I just can't imagine the summer (well I can, I went in August before kids once)

With the new EMH schedule perhaps you can plan on sleeping in, hanging out poolside and doing your "day" at night at the parks. The other option is to go early, come back and swim/sleep throught the heat of the day, and then go in the evening.

I just melt in the heat, lose all my energy so quickly....I can really relate. My personal tips are that I carry one of those little fans, drink plenty of water, take advantage of ac shows/eating areas whenever I can and just do not push it!

Honestly? I wouldn't go to Disney in the summer if it were FREE! I cannot stand heat and humidity! Well, actually mostly the humidity...the "Icky, Sticky, Nothing you can do about it" humidity. YUCK! Heat, I can deal with. I've been to Las Vegas when it was 114 and it was HOT, but dry and that was fine, been to Disney when it was 90, but not humid and that was ok too, but I'll do just about anything to avoid humidity. It just isn't any fun to me to go when you can't even sit on a bench and not be dripping.

Best tip I've got is one of those mister fans. They really help keep you cool. I got a really nice one at Linen's & Things for $7.99 - They are $15 at the parks.

We've been going back to the hotel lately but even when we go back we still get icky after stepping out in the sun for just 2 minutes.. LOL ITS not very pleasant at all.

We used to bring those fans and water sprays all the time.. I don't know why we stopped LOL

We can't (won't) take the kids out of school, so we always go in June. Early June. We move very slowly. It doesn't bother me too much, but I might be having selctive memory loss because summer is taking so long to arrive here in the NE! If heat bothers you, I can see how Floriday in summer would REALLY bother you!!

I guess I'm lucky to live in Texas because it has to be 95 or over before I really start to feel the heat. The forecast shows for 88 most days we are there next week and that will be the perfect temp for us.

From recently living in NY my whole life where there were actually seasons to living here in FL now.. yea BIG ADJUSTMENT. LOL. It bothers my sis and mom more than me.. I can take it for Disney

Tank tops, sandals, drinking lotsa water, going early and taking afternoon pool breaks, going back at night when it's cooler, embracing the heat because it is WDW in FL....

That's what we do...it is icky and sticky, but it is also WDW and I associate both together!!! We did go one April and had a couple cooler days where I wore pants and a jacket...just not the same experience to me!!!

It's all about your attitude! If you make up your mind that it's hot and gross, then it will bug you and be hot and gross...but if you make up your mind to embrace it and not let it get to you, you will have a MUCH better time...a good thing to learn at your age. (that's the middle school teacher in me talking)
