How To Have The Best Summer at Disney: Your Guide To Magic & Fun

Summer at Walt Disney World can be the most magical vacation of the year- if you plan it right. From the Happily Ever After firework show at Magic Kingdom to the Kilimanjaro Safaris, Disney offers endless amounts of fun for everyone to enjoy. But with record-breaking Florida heat and high wait times, you will need some tips and tricks on how to make the most out of your visit.

Here is your guide to the best Disney summer ever!

1. Download the MyDisneyExperience App

   All of your tickets and passes will be uploaded on your app for easy access, along with wait times for every ride and attraction for all four parks! You can also book reservations for your favorite dining options and mobile order quick service dining spots!

2. Be Prepared For the Florida Heat

   Orlando, Florida in the middle of summer can get HOT. You will want to be prepared to beat the heat while still being able to enjoy a day at the parks! Disney allows you to bring in refillable water bottles and has filling stations all across the parks. Pro Tip: if you forget your water bottle, every quick service dining offers free cups of water with no purchase required. Next, you will want to make sure you bring a portable fan to stay while walking around the parks. Lastly, sprinkle in a few indoor rides that have low wait times like "It's A Small World" or "Spaceship Earth" to cool off.

3. Rope Drop!

   An early wake-up call might be your best friend to beat the heat! If you are staying on property you get access to early park entry, which is an hour before park opening! Rope drop some of your favorite outdoor rides and attractions and beat the afternoon heat!

4. Don't Forget The Dole Whip

   Lastly, our favorite way to celebrate summer at Disney World is with Dole Whip! Visit the Sunshine Seasons at Magic Kingdom or the Polynesian Resort for specialty Dole Whip flavors, perfect for summer!

Spending your summer at Walt Disney World should be stress-free and filled with lifelong memories. We hope you enjoyed reading our first ever blog post!
