Hello William and thanks for asking the Disney Parks Moms Panel such an important question about your 1st ever trip to not only the magic of Walt Disney World Resort but also to the United States of America!
As the current British Mum here on the Moms Panel I can completely relate to your valid query as our general British summer weather and temperate climate cannot be compared with the usual daytime heat and
all-the-time humidity of the months of June and July in central Florida.
Generally speaking Florida June temperatures see daytime highs of around 90°f in comparison to our British average of 70°f but even after taking that huge difference into account I'd really like to offer my personal reassurance that the weather (or to be more accurate the heat & humidity) won't be a downfall at all because if anyone knows how to handle the Floridan weather it's the locals themselves. Upon arrival in Orlando you'll soon discover that everywhere indoors from Resort Rooms to shops and restaurants have the most unbelievably cold air-conditioning installed and in fact sometimes when dining in restaurants I get too chilly and need to put a light cardigan on!
My top cool comfort tips are -
- Be sure to
wear loose fitting, cool clothes teamed with the most comfortable pair of trainers you own.
- Wear sunglasses and a hat or baseball cap.
- Drink lots of water! Guests can request
free cups of water at most any Disney dining location.
- Take advantage of
Extra Magic Hours by planning to start early (before the heat of the day) and take mid-day breaks away from the Theme Parks before heading back during the cooler evening hours.
Magical wishes,
~ Jane
