Hi, I don't want to scare you, but it's been very hot and muggy. The weather we've been having is usually what we have at the end of the summer. I think it is supposed to begin to cool off later in the week. Sorry...

Great!! We are going during 4th of July week, just this once. We are prepared for brutal, just curious how bad! Thanks!!!

Just take breaks through the day. Gift shops and indoor rides are great places to cool off, and don't plan on wearing any make up...LOL. When I go, I don't even bother. and make sure you have lots to drink. I drank tons of water while I was there and still felt dried out. LOL

Good luck with that FL summer heat!! Take lots of water breaks and a mid day break from the parks. I wont go in the summer months anymore because I just cant stand that heat!

Were just there last week. Best thing to take by far is a hand-held battery fan. Misty Mates made us hotter and more humid. It was only humid real bad one day. But it will get worse, much worse, soon. Drink lots of fluids. Unless you are going to take mid-day breaks, which we did every day, plan on doing most of the inside stuff/rides during the middle part of day which is hottest.

Yep, it was hot..REALLY hot, humid, and muggy. The cooling fans really helped. The heat just sapped the energy right out of you.

Drink lots of water and make plent of stops in gift shops, indoor rides, etc.

Have fun!

We just got back last week - it is very hot so bring your squirt fan and drink lots of water like everyone else mentioned. We did have some thunderstorms roll in a couple days and that can cool things off for a while! Have a great trip!

We also just got back last week. Only one time on the last night did we walk outside and say, it actually feels nice out here! It was much hotter than it was on our trip last July. We found it best to get up early and go to the parks as soon as they opened to avoid standing in the long lines! We did have a couple of thunderstorms, but they did not ruin our evening plans. We brought a rain cover for our stroller and baseball caps to keep the rain off our face.

We still had fun, even though it was hot and muggy. I am sure you will too!

We were on property the week of June 3. It was in the lower nineties, but not bad at all. As a qualifier, we did take a mid-day break at our resort. Maybe two hours or so. Time in the air, or at the pool... so we were missing the mid-day heat. Thank goodness for evening Extra Magic Hours. I didn't feel bad at all taking the break, because I knew we could recoup those 'hot times' later that night.
