World showcase in the heat....

Starting in Mexico, with FP for frozen, how long would you give yourself to get to Italy in WS? We are there in the current crazy summer heat so want to take it easy. I'm thinking try and get a lunch ressie in Italy but not sure what time to book it for? Touring at a nice slow pace to avoid the heat. We want to check at the shows etc.

I'm wondering if maybe it's better to plan a pool morning on maybe an evening EMH day, heading out later and head to Italy for dinner?

The walk itself from Mexico to Italy is perhaps 10 minutes, no more than 15 at a slow pace. I would budget approximately 30 minutes for FEA with FP. How much time you want to spend in the countries in between is the real determining factor.

Thanks. This is really helpful. I guess if we get to WS for 11, we want to grab a margarita in Mexico, do the boat ride/stores, then on to Norway for Frozen - check out the stores there and Germany - A 1.30ish reservation in Italy is okay?

For some reason I imagine WS to be so bad in the daytime heat...So scared my family will totally wilt. So won't be going fast at all haha.

That seems doable to me.

I agree a normal not checking anything out along the way, just walking there would be 10 minutes. But I wouldnt worry cause theres almost always a wait in Italy. Our Via Napoli ressie was a 20 minute wait after checking in.

It's not your imagination. I find WS to be incredibly hot!!! I personally feel that there is absolutely no cross-ventilation in WS - the way it is designed in almost a complete circle. And then each country is it's own walled-in courtyard. Thankfully there are lots of shops to duck into for some AC.
