My Best Disney Tip When Travelling During the Hot Weather

[scrappinginontario]

Free glasses of ice water at any counter service location or snack bar that has a fountain pop machine.

I just returned from a hot, hot, humid (WONDERFUL) 9 days in the parks and my family and I took full advantage of this offering! So often I saw people buying bottles of water and the majority of the times that I mentioned that glasses of ice water were free they said it was something they didn't know about and would use from then on.

I understand some prefer bottled water but for those who don't mind tap water it can be a huge savings!

Isn't it a great tip? I use a refillable Rubbermaid water bottle, and just fill it with counter service ice water.

And FYI, the water that they give you at CS restaurants is filtered water that comes from their soda machines. It tastes just fine - much better than the water from the drinking fountains.

Mine would be "kool ties" neck wraps.

Walk thru the stores/shops instead of the main street in MK and HS. They all are connected with one another. Out of the sun and the heat

listen to your body... when you are getting sluggish, irritable, grouchy etc, its time for a break and water! Find somewhere in the shade or even better an air conditioned show and take a break. Don't try & just keep going as eventually, it WILL catch up with you and once it does, you end feeling terrible.

I second this! There is no use pushing yourself to "do everything!!!" once you're hot, sticky and uncomfortable. Even if you hate Hall of Presidents, it's air conditioned and quiet, great place to rest your feet (and your eyes) for a bit. Plus, you don't usually realize you're suffering from heat exhaustion or similar until it's too late. Drink lots of water and rest.

Mine is Rubbing Alcohol diluted with water.. soak it on a wash cloth and place it in a zippy bag. Also bring small baby powder. When you are tired , hot, and feel so nasty...( I like to pair this with a trip to the tiki room or hall of presidents)
wipe yourself down with washcloth and then dust with powder.. You will feel fresh and clean and ready for more fun ~!!
