Hi, there!
Welcome to planDisney, Lorraine. I'm so happy you stopped by and even happier to hear you'll be visiting the Walt Disney World Resort next week!
Orlando is
very hot in the summer months, so staying hydrated while you experience pixie-dusted adventures in the
theme parks is super important. I'm pleased to tell you that you may certainly carry a hydration pack! For a complete list of prohibited items, I encourage you to take a look at the official
Walt Disney World rules. There you'll see specific information about the food, beverages, and bags that are permitted in the theme parks.
As a teacher and a mom of school-aged children, my family almost always vacations in the summer months. To beat the heat, we make sure to arrive at the theme parks first thing in the morning. The morning hours are usually the coolest of the day, so we try to pack as much magic as we can into that time. As the temperatures rise, we take a break in an air-conditioned restaurant for lunch before heading back to our Disney Resort hotel for an afternoon of swimming. Once everyone is a bit rested, we head back to the theme parks in the evening!
I hope this was helpful, Lorraine. I'm wishing you a magical
Walt Disney World Resort vacation!
Ashley
