Disney World Heat is INTENSE…How To Stay Safe During The Heat Advisory Today

By Robin Burks Leave a Comment

Florida weather is notoriously finicky. It can be bright and sunny one minute, and then, the next minute, it could be raining cats and dogs with thunder and lightning, only to be bright and sunny again once that’s over. But one thing you can count on in the summer in Florida is that it will be hot AND humid.

It’s going to be hot today

Now, if you’re not used to heat and humidity, think about being inside an oven, but the oven is actually a swamp, and the swamp is pretty much boiling. Yeah, it’s kinda like that. Well, according to The Orlando Sentinel, today is going to be REALLY unbearable, with a heat advisory beginning for the area as of 10 AM.

East Central Florida, including Disney World, is under a heat advisory from 10 AM to 8 PM today. Temperatures are expected to get up to the high 90s, but the heat index will make it feel like it’s anywhere from 108 to 112 degrees. That humidity is really what’s going to get you, so you’ll want to take all precautions if you plan on being outside today, and if you’re visiting Disney World, we imagine that’s part of your daily plan.

It’s going to be muggy in the parks

If you are visiting Disney World today, we advise you to take as many breaks inside air-conditioned spaces as possible. That means getting on a lot of indoor rides, taking advantage of attractions that feature indoor theaters, spending time inside shops, etc. You’ll want to stay inside as much as you possibly can.

Indoor attractions are a great way to cool off

You’ll also want to stay hydrated and drink plenty of water. Bring a water bottle and take advantage of the water bottle refill stations in each park. You can also request a free cup of water from most counter service restaurants.

Bring your water bottle

Portable fans and neck fans can also come in handy to help you feel cooler when you have to be outside. Cooling towels are also a great option to help keep your body temperature down. However, if at any point in time you feel sick, get indoors quickly, and if you need medical attention, make your way to a First Aid station if you can. If not, inform a Cast Member immediately.
