hot weather in Disneyland

[Obi-J Kenobi]

To beat the heat, hydrate frequently with water only and try to plan some attractions with AC in the mid-day (i.e. Tiki Room, Mickey's Philharmagic, Star Tours, Soarin') and I always recommend taking a mid-day break if possible.

Thanks everyone for the great suggestions! A couple of follow ups:

1. where can I buy personal sun umbrella at or near the Disneyland resort? Ideally walking distance.

2. I heard it's not a good idea to do Peter Pan first thing even if you rope drop since you waste critical morning time in line. If we have early entry to the park (as hotel guests) is it reasonable to do Peter Pan first or still not advised?

There's a CVS and a Walgreens at the corner of Harbor and Katella. It's not too long of a walk. Probably best to get what you need before you go if you can though.

I think it depends on where you are from.

We were warned about hot weather in August, but since we are from the south, the 90 degree days there didn't phase us because the mornings and evening were cooler…
It was only 90 for a few hours in the afternoons. ….

Here in the south it can be 88 at 9am….and 10pm

I am going to be there next week with my almost 3 year old and realistically she will probably only make it to 7 or 8 pm each night so trying to decide if heading back to the hotel in the middle of the day to beat the heat is worth it or not since we will not be staying late. She naps in the stroller no problem so it might be better to just find a shady spot rather than go all the way back to the hotel. Thoughts?
