Which is usually the hottest place in WDW?

[DisneyWorldWisher]

I was wondering, is there any place at Walt Disney World hotter than any other place? Please tell me.

During August, I can tell you that it is hot enough at Animal Kingdom that the Sahara Desert must not have much on it.

AK is the hottest. I read a thread not too long ago that said that because of the lush natural vegetation at AK that the humidity and therefore the Heat Index is higher there. I can confirm that when I was there one August I was fine in other parks but miserable in AK.

 

[tinkerbellmagic]

AK gets my vote too. Stifling!

 

[goofy4tink]

The lack of wide open spaces, plus the lush vegetation makes for a steamy experience at AK. No air gets circulated there..although they do seem to be trying to stir things up a bit with some disguised fans along the walkways.

Yep, I agree with the statement that BuzzandAriel'smom said. AK IS the hottest place at WDW.

I voted for Animal Kingdom as it is so tropical and humid to boot ... but on the flipside I would also vote it the coldest place in Disney for the exact same reason..

so in summer .. yes hottest .. but on a cold day in winter it is the coldest park Brrrrrrrrr I had to buy gloves one year

 

[DisneyWorldWisher]

Wow!
How do you reccomend we stay cool in AK? I heard the buildings aren't air conditioned there, is that true?

 

[princess22]

I am so glad to see that I'm not the only one who thinks AK feels hotter than everywhere else!

DisneyWorldWisher: The buildings are air conditioned, but a lot of stuff is outside, so you don't seem to be inside as much! I couldn't imagine the buildings not being Air conditioned! That would be way too hot!

It just so happens...where ever I am happens to be the hottest place--for me!!

JK...AK is definately unbearably HOT! We went in June and left midday! TOO HOT

I found buildings with AC. I know for a fact the one with the Chocolate bar's has AC. It wouldn't do to have melty chocolate for customers. When I was there in Sept 05 I tried to drink a lot and duck into the buildings with AC when possible to cool off.

I usually go in the early morning and leave before noon. Sometimes I stay for shows only but leave as soon as possible. Hot pavement and lots of vegetation and water around make for a HOT day and a red face for me.

I always find that MGM is the hottest park. There never seems to be any breeze or anything and it just gets blergh hot there!

 

[TChris]

I vote for the Studios, there is a lot of concrete and very little shade between the buildings. I would still take hot over cold any day.

 

[ShannonP]

I think AK is definitely the hottest...my 2nd choice would be the WS area of EPCOT.

....but that ain't stopping me!!!

 

[dischick4778]

Either we always pick the hottest day to go to AK or it really is the hottest park.

 

[Mousema]

Definitely AK. Nothing to block the heat and few buildings.

 

[PixiePop]

Without a doubt...... Animal Kingdom.

 

[jjk]

AK is by far the hottest

 

[dakyak]

It is my favorite park, but sometimes i think the heat is too bad, and not enough places to cool down
