What to Do When It's Too Hot Outside


Let's be real: Florida gets HOT. And MUGGY. You can be outside for 4 minutes and already feel the sweat on your face. Most of the time, you're too distracted by all the wonders around you to notice. But, if the heat ever does get to you, here are some things you can do.

 TIP:
Try to avoid the parks during the hottest part of the day, which is the afternoon. If you can, plan to visit the park in the morning, go back the hotel for a break in the afternoon, and return to the parks in the evening. Check the day's weather forecast (hour by hour) so you know exactly when to leave and when to return.

 TIP:
Do Disney at night! Not only is it cooler, but the lines are shorter! This is a great option if you are visiting with a group whose bedtime is after 9. Check out the parks schedules before making plans.

 TIP:
Take shortcuts and detours through stores! Headed to Adventureland from Main Street? Walk though the Emporium. Venturing to Africa from the Tree of Life? Take a walk through Island Mercantile. The stores are air-conditioned and in the shade, preventing nasty sunburns.

 TIP:
Drink plenty of water throughout the day to prevent dehydration. Drink a cup of water with all of your meals instead of soda or milk. Every time you stop to take a break, drink some water.

Your Guide To The Attractions at Walt Disney World's EPCOT

Often described as “science fair meets world's fair” EPCOT is definitely a park that helps set Walt DIsney World apart from the rest of the DIsney parks around the world.  EPCOT is often branded as the park for adults, as drinking is a popular activity here. However, there are plenty of things for kids of all ages to do.  Thrill Rides The thrill rides at EPCOT are roller coasters or flight simulators with intensity. These rides may not be for the faint of heart (or short of inches).  Mission: SPACE Mission: SPACE is a flight simulator ride, You’ll board a rocket like an astronaut and launch into space. This ride can be intense, so there are two versions. The Green mission around Earth is a better option for those who become nauseous easily. There is a 40 inch height requirement. The Orange mission to Mars, on the other hand, spins to replicate G-forces. You must be 40 inches (102 cm) to board the Orange mission, and free of serious health conditions. Still, this is a fun one for as
