Alright, let’s talk about the kind of heat that makes you question every life choice you’ve ever made: Disney in the summer.

If you’re dreaming of a trip to Disney World in the summer that doesn’t end with you melting into the pavement by 11 a.m., this episode is for you.

In this episode, I’m sharing my real-life, mom-tested strategies for how to stay cool at Disney World – beyond the basic “bring a misting fan” advice. I’m talking about the small, sanity-saving moves that actually make a difference when it’s 100 degrees and everyone is cranky. Plus, a few lessons about what to take to Disney World in the summer that I’ve learned the hard way.

Here’s what you’ll hear in this episode:

  • Why booking a lunch reservation can make or break your experience at Disney in the summer 
  • The surprising reason you might want to rethink those cute Lululemon outfits for a Disney World in the summer trip
  • My personal non-negotiables for what to take to Disney World in the summer
  • Why you should rethink your whole park day schedule if you want to avoid a 2 p.m. meltdown (and not just from the kids)
  • Sneaky, science-backed tricks for how to stay cool at Disney World – that don’t involve lugging around a soaking wet towel

What’s your go-to survival tip for Disney in the summer? Tell me your strategy over on IG: @somewhereworthwhile.
