The Most Annoying Part of Disney World — And How We Fixed It

Ah, Disney World in the summer. It’s a time that’s easier for many people to visit, as kids are out of school, but let’s be real — there are some real downsides to visiting during the hottest season of the year.

Orlando gets HOT in the summer. And this isn’t a dry heat where the temperature on your phone matches how it feels outside. No, the humidity will often make the temperature outside feel 10+ degrees warmer, and when you walk outside and will immediately feel like someone just brushed against your whole body with a wet towel. Not to mention, those hot temperatures leave the door wide open for tons of storms, so not only are you drenched in sweat, but you may find yourself covered head to toe in rain as well. So if summer is the only time you can visit, how do you make the most of it while battling the heat and the rain? Don’t worry, we’re here to help!

When it comes to beating the heat, you want something easy to carry around with you, won’t add a ton of weight, but will also work really well. That’s where the JISULIFE 3 IN 1 Handheld Mini Fan comes in!

Not only is this thing small enough to easily fit in your palm, but it can also easily go in a pocket or a smaller part of your bag, and it’s genuinely pretty powerful! It also acts as a portable charger and a flashlight, which can really come in handy in a pinch.

Now, if you know the heat is going to be a MENACE and will really affect your day, but summer is still the only time you’ll be able to visit, then you may want to invest in a cooling device that’s REALLY going to do its job, like the Shark ChillPill.

Now this thing is NOT cheap, coming in at around $150, but it’s three things in one — it’s a fan, has an InstaChill Cooling Plate, and has Dry-Touch Mist. We’ve used it ourselves and think that it definitely does what it’s advertised to do, but we really only recommend buying it if you’re someone who knows they’ll overheat easily, and you need something that will really keep you cool.

Cooling towels are also a great way to keep yourself cool in the parks, but you won’t want to spend a fortune on the ones in the parks. Instead, we recommend grabbing the Sukeen Cooling Towels online ahead of your trip!

You’ll pay one price to get FOUR cooling towels in this pack, meaning you’ll have plenty to share with your group. If you find that yours is running out of cooling power, just find a sink somewhere in the parks, run it under, and you’ll be good to go.

So, we’ve covered the heat, that’s great, but what about the rain that will inevitably arrive on your vacation? Look no further than the FROGG TOGGS Poncho, which MANY members of our team absolutely love.

This poncho isn’t like the single-use ones you’ll find in the parks that make the heat feel worse because it clings to you like a second skin and makes you feel like you’re in an oven. It’s light, big enough to cover your whole body, and is so water-resistant that I’ve seen water droplets literally roll right off of it. I can’t imagine using any other poncho!

Not a fan of ponchos, but still need something to protect yourself from the rain? The BAODINI Mini Umbrella is a great way to go, because it’s actually two in one!

Yes, it’s an umbrella that will keep the rain off of you, but it’s also a UV umbrella, so it’ll help you stay cool too! With this technology, the UV rays from the sun bounce right back towards the sky, ultimately keeping you cooler throughout the day. We’ve used it many times and love it!
