EDITED TO ADD: before you think summer in disney of course, it's not everywhere that's warm and the a/c can keep up. I live here, they've changed the a/c so it's not as cold anywhere their isn't food involved and some food places are also warmer, not hot but warmer than in the past.
Yesterday was my first afternoon and evening in a park while it was stupid hot and humid.. phone said it was 94 out with 85% humidity and at the end of the night it was saying with heat index it felt like 114.. It really felt like 114...
What has me upset is what disney is doing with the air conditioning at the moment. Anyone that has been there in the last month or so will know that many places that used to be freezing is now warm to hot when you walk in. buses seem warmer, monorail seems warmer.. table service and restrooms seem to be the same as it was but counter service is cool, but not what it used to be... this hasn't only been the really hot days where I nkow a/c struggles to keep up, this started while it was still nice out.
Everyone I looked at yesterday was drenched in sweat, carrying towels many of them they purchased in the park trying to stay dry.. People were wandering into gift shops hoping to cool off for a few moments to find it wasn't cold enough to do that but lingered around as it was better than outside..
The kicker is almost everyone had a bottle of water or powerade in their hands and I know I constantly was drinking something. there's only so many times you can join everyone in the quick service trying to get water when you just need it faster...
I can handle the heat for an afternoon but without gift shops being cool it took me about an hour before I was just a zombie, soaked head to toe and stopped at least 2-3 times at a quick service for about 30-60 minutes with a tray of ice water trying to feel normal...
Now what started to piss me off, is people were buying water like never before. famillies were practically dying in any shade they can find while someone was getting 10 waters and carrying them back...
I'll go as far as saying disney has upped the price of beverages more than any other increase and now lowering the a/c to a almost medical issue temp so you can't cool off as you pass through the gift shop after a ride... This is a money grab don't care about your customers problem. It's florida, it's freaking hot here, this is not safe and your forcing people to spend more on beverages and not thinking about their health..
I hope this makes sense but to be honest, I'm looking at all of disney like AK in the summer now.. I don't really want to be in the parks right now like this.. it's not fun.
