How hot is end of August HOT and other last minute questions?

[eeyoregon]

Oh Geez. I am a GINORMOUS HEAT WEANIE!!!! And guess what? We are going in August this year for that damn free food

I have been giving myselft little pep talks each day: "You can do this Gina. No one has ever actually melted into a puddle (well except for the wicked witch)." Also been keeping the AC at home set warmer than I usually like it in hopes of acclimating myself a tiny bit.

With that being said, PLEASE ACCEPT MY APOLOGY NOW SHOULD YOU HAPPEN TO BE AT THE WORLD THE SAME TIME THAT I AM AND I SNAP!

Planning to keep my gel neck cooler in the fridge at night so it's nice and cold. Will put ice cubes in my spray fan for extra chilly misting.

We'll be there at the end of August too. I read about these "moisture wicking socks." Any help?

We went the 3rd week in August and while I had a hat and mister fan and an umbrella, (which, by the way, worked great, even though it was black!), it was "drip city" for me!! Yea, It is HOT!!! The first couple days I thought I would melt, but then, I don't know, something happend and I was a little more confortable. Still dripping but confortable. We were in the parks early and took a break in the afternoons and went back to the resort and swam for a while, then back to the parks about 4 or so.
We will be doing it again this year! August 23-31st!
Have a great time!!!!!

I have actually thought about turning our air off this week since we are in WI and the high today is 93 (but the heat index is 100+ and we have humidity) BUT that was just a thought and I am trying to get up the courage to go out in the heat because we have no milk. I have a feeling if we will be just fine and maybe we can remember that heat when it is -5 this winter! I also hate the heat and am going for free food....it better be GOOD free food

Travel soccer & Summer WDW trips have taught me a lot about myself and the heat. They don't mix well. A few trips ago I got the worst leg cramps in the middle of the night from dehydration and walking more than I would at home in the heat. I try to carry gel filled neck wraps around my neck soaking them throughout the day, drink plenty of water throughout the day (free cups of ice water from kiosks can fill bottles). I put crystal light or green tea flavoring in the bottles for flavor. Eat bananas for brkfst potasium(sp?) salad & fruit during the day. Save my main meal for late in the day or evening then walk it off in the parks which are usually open late in the summer. There's no getting aound it we're in for a hot hot trip.
keep telling myself..."just don't push it or you'll faintyour kids won't be able to carry you because you didn't lose the weight you said you would by now. Heck they're teens.. they'll probably disown you and leave you to melt in the FL sun"
