Here’s a blanket statement that we’re all well aware of: Disney World is HOT.

Hot feels like it isn’t even a strong enough word to describe just how intense and draining the Orlando sun can be as you’re going about your vacation. We’ve recommended tons of tips to stay cool in the past — cooling towels, portable fans, and free ice water from quick service locations, just to name a few — but there’s another simple option that can make a big difference, and that’s wearing a hat! Animal Kingdom in particular is VERY hot due to its lack of shade in areas, so here are all the hats we recommend for your next trip!
For the dads and grandfathers traveling with the group, or anyone who has a similar personality, you’ll want to grab the Carl Fredricksen UP Baseball Cap!

This one comes in 7 different colors, perfect for any outfit, and is a fantastic fit for Animal Kingdom since you can meet Kevin, Doug, and sometimes Russell from the film here!
Looking for something a little sillier or for your kiddo? The Zootopia Nick Wilde Fuzzy Baseball Cap is the way to go.

Now, we don’t necessarily recommend this one in the blazing heat of summer, but during the cooler months, it’ll keep the sun off your face AND be super cute.
Who doesn’t love a good pun? Grab the Let’s Get Wild Cap to win all the Dad jokes of the day.

If you wear this one to meet Mickey and Minnie in the park, you’ll find that you’ll almost be matching their safari outfits, which is always a fun way to start a conversation!
Animals are all around you in this park, so if you can’t decide, there’s nothing wrong with a classic Reversible Leopard Bucket Hat!

The other side of the hat is just plain black, meaning you can match it with your outfits for the other parks without needing to buy a whole separate accessory.
We’re always here to bring you the latest style recommendations for the Disney World parks, so be sure to stay tuned to AllEars!
