staying cool tips?

[lrab1126]

What are your tips for keeping cool when at WDW ? We go in a few days, i have my handy misters, we will try to only do the parks in the AM and PM to avoid the peak heat times and dress light. But any other tips or strategies for keeping cool and comfortable?

thanks !

We were there last week, and it was stinking hot. We got some gel filled neck cooling bandanas from eBay and they worked great. You might be able to find some locally. We drank tons and tons of water, of course. Also, you can bring a wash cloth and wet it and wipe everyone down occaisionally. Also, walk through shops when possible instead of outside. In many places, one shop connects to the next, so you can go a long way in the AC.

Along with taking the break for the most crowded hotter part of the day plan your time in parks well too Know which attractions are outdoors or not in A/C and which ones are. Do the stuff that not in A/c early in day maybe not very 1st thing but before 11 am anyway and save the stuff that in A/C (Small World versa Dumbo comes to mind here) for just before you go back to room for your break and when you 1st return to the parks after break to take advantage of the A/C when it hottest.

Get free ice water at any counter service that has fountain sodas . All you need to do is ask. Go to early morning hours and go back to resort for a swim/rest break during the hottest part of the day. Alternate hot outside attractions and cooler,inside ones. Go at a slow pace. Keep kids and the elderly,especially, hydrated.
