Best tips for staying cool at Disney World in the summer
It looks all futuristic, like I belong in a Space 220 restaurant – if you know, you know!
Here are ways to keep cool during a Disney Trip…
- Use sunscreen and apply often. I like spf 50.
- Check out this neck fan.
- Wear hats. Your ears can fit on top of a baseball hat!
- Wear light, breezy clothing.
- Bring cooling towels with ice crushed up inside them. Carry them in a cooler.
- Stay hydrated.
- Take breaks.
- Find AC filled buildings to stay out of the sun during the midday and afternoons when it is hottest (I love hanging out during hot summer days at Disney World at The Land Pavilion, getting a bite to eat there, and going on Soarin’).
- Take a resort break and go swimming (check out the Animal Kingdom Lodge pool).
- Arrive early or visit around dinner time and after.
- Get a dining reservation during the hottest hours.
- Enjoy the rain! (well, if it’s not a hurricane or lightning obviously!)

As mentioned, you can spend hours in this building - The Land Pavilion - in EPCOT park while enjoying AC, going on rides and grabbing a bite to eat.
For food in The Land Pavilion, you’ll need to reserve character dining at Garden Grill in advance.
Or head to quick service Sunshine Seasons anytime.
