Staying Cool in Disney World in July

Going to Disney World next week. I was looking for any products I could purchase to help me stay cool. Does anyone have any recommendations.

Those cooling neck wraps work pretty well. I can't really think of anything else that would be practical in Disney World.

Cooling towels are great. We always bring a small cooler in our stroller and keep 2-3 of them in there to stay wet. You can get small fans that run on batteries too. Again we clip them on our stroller. Wear light clothes and comfy shoes and good socks.
Plan your day well so that you don’t wait outside much. Most rides at Magic Kingdom have indoor lines now for the most part. Other parks are a little harder to stay out of the sun. Plan shows during the hottest hours of the day or even go back to the hotel to swim after lunch. That’s when the parks are busiest anyway. Get there early and stay late if you plan on taking breaks during the day.

ill be honest, we were there last july 5-8 and yes, it was hot, however, it was not near as unbearable as i was prepared for. like has been mentioned, cooling towels are good. i would also bring a couple waters in my back pack each morning. if you have the means freeze them and bring them in solid. Bring plenty of gold bond powder. good socks, and GOOD shoes. i got some adidas ultra boost when we did disney/uni in april, walked 54 miles and my feet never hurt, ever. sunscreen.

Gold bond, non-cotton underwear, non-cotton moisture wicking shorts and t-shirt, and prayers.

A battery powered fan ain't going to do shite when it's 100 degrees with a side of 95% humidity.

Cold water, light colored clothes, wide brim hat
Don’t gorge on food
Leave the cargo shorts at home

Thanks, I hope the prayers work. Thanks for the Gold Bond recommendation I had overlooked that important one.

If you have some way to stow it like a stroller, a small ice chest with florida water in it, with small neck towels to soak it up.
A good hat.
Bring a change of socks for each person if you will be in the park all day, and change your socks in the late afternoon.
Dri-fit shirts and shorts
Sunscreen
Don't be afraid to take a break mid-day. Go back to your room, go to a resort restaurant, etc.

They make a spray. Throw it in one of your bags to freshen up throughout the day.

Thanks went today and got the spray.

My rules for Disney were set long ago
If I’m taking time off work and spending that kind of cash, my family is going when I want to go
We went in Nov and it was great
I did Disney a while back in June and never been so hot in my life. Had swam arse by 10am

I went last Feb and it was just as hot as when we went the May before. A week later it was in the 30s. Orlando is hot a lot. But I generally stay away from June-Sept. Heat and rain aren’t fun to plan around.

No doubt. We were there Nov 5-11 and it was 91 two of the days. At least the days are shorter.
We got back from Disneyland 3 weeks ago and it was the most glorious weather I’ve ever seen. Sunny and 65 every day. No wind. I pinched myself every day

That was my thinking as well, but we had a free flight and a free place to stay so I had to bite the bullet.
Posted on 6/27/19 at 2:27 pm to martiallaw
Yeah in that case I’d sweat if it were free. Lol
I would just follow the usual rules. Wear light colored dri fit clothes and a hat and sunglasses
Good thing there are a ton of rides indoors plus you can always get wet at splash mountain

We bought these for our entire family. A 3-pack is $8 on Amazon. Kept one in my pocket for when we were standing in line or whatever. It's amazing what just a little breeze will do for you.
