How am I keeping cool on my June Orlando vacation? 🥵
☀️ My small umbrella is my go-to, for portable protection from the sun AND the rain
☀️ Handheld rechargeable fan
☀️ A midday break. I booked table service reservations for late lunch, for a nice long break inside during the hottest part of the day. I'll also return to my hotel room to chill out in the a/c, change clothes, and enjoy putting my feet up for a bit. A midday swim hits the spot, too.
☀️ Guests staying on property at Disney and Universal get into the parks earlier, so I'm taking advantage of the lower temps and lower crowds in the mornings to knock out some must-do rides.
☀️ Spending a whole day at Discovery Cove, swimming with dolphins, snorkeling with tropical fish and sharks, and floating away in the lazy river.
☀️ I've got two Club Level reservations, so I'll be hanging out at my resort hotel those days, enjoying the unlimited drinks, snacks and more in the lounges. A down day is a must, to rest and recharge, since the heat really can exhaust.
☀️ Using Lightning Lanes at Disney to skip the lines- less waiting outside in the heat!
☀️ Using Unlimited Express Passes at Universal, which are included with my hotel stay. Same thing- less waiting in lines in the heat!
☀️ And probably my favorite strategy- late nights! The parks stay open later in the summer, and the parks are more magical at night! Once the sun goes down, my energy level goes up, and I get another wind to enjoy more rides and nighttime shows! No sunscreen + less heat = happy vacation fairy.
Bonus: stay Deluxe at Disney for Extended Evening Hours, and get more time in the parks after the public has to go home. Or book After Hours, and really have the parks to yourself!
