August in Disney

[Virtucomp]

One of the biggest problems I have with August is that you have to stay hydrated because some much sweat is leaving your body. Take a shower and walk outside and your sweating already. Everyone gets cranky because of the humidity and you get headaches of you don't keep drinking water.

I used to be the water cop and force everyone to drink every 20 minutes. Where does all that water go? Think about all of you underclothes collecting the cups of water and holding it in the most uncomfortable spots. Someone called it swamp %^#. I never had more trouble with chaffing before going in August.

The pools that are exposed to the sun are like jumping into a hot bath so they are not refreshing.

Other than that it's great.

Let me highly recommend this for summer travelers:

We have been 3x in August in the last 6 years, this past August was much more crowded then in the past, so it felt much hotter and tempers were short. Need to keep hydrated, get an early start with afternoon pool breaks. I don't think I would August again.

We used to go to Disney in October but had to switch to August once DD started college.

Last year was our first August trip and yes it was very hot & humid. It also rained every day around 4:00pm -
not for long but it was heavy. It always seemed to hit when we were back at the resort for our break.

The heat didn't bother me as much in EPCOT but that's probably because there is more room and people are not on top of each other. But the heat really bothered me in MK. When we were sitting in the Aladdin ride vehicle waiting for the ride to start it was torture....the sun beating down on us, no breeze. I remember thinking 'this is what a burger under a heat lamp must feel like!".

But, we are returning again this August. We'll just bring our cooling towels and mister fans again!
