Summer is indeed a busy season at Walt Disney World®. But, the list of things to do and see seems endless. Park hours are longer with a heavier schedule of events, parades, fireworks and live entertainment.
If you’re visiting during the summer months, preparation is the key to keeping your Disney vacation magical. Be prepared for the brutal Florida heat and sun with plenty of water, sunscreen, sunglasses (even for the little ones) and hats! You’d be surprised what a difference a hat can make; keep it light colored. Predictable afternoon thundershowers can clear out a park. Just put on your rain gear and take advantage of shorter wait times!
Have a well-thought out day-by-day itinerary. Take advantage of longer park hours and stay on-property at a Walt Disney World® hotel. Staying on-property makes it so much easier to take a break during the hottest and most crowded part of the day. If you take that daily break, you’ll be relaxed, refreshed and ready to hit the parks again that evening. And, staying at a Disney resort hotel gives you Extra Magic Hours privileges – just another way to beat the heat and the crowds.
Families with younger children visiting during the summer should seriously consider staying at a monorail-serviced hotel. They are the best for easy access to and from the parks for that mid-day break which is so essential with little ones. |
