News Heat Advisory Issued for Walt Disney World Area Today, July 18

[Disstevefan1]

3/4 of the US are under conditions that are far from “dry heat”…the Humidity is well above the norm for the entire eastern half

Yup, I was just commenting on the "feels like" thing.

Whatever, its hot out there.

I hope and pray no one brings a guide dog to WDW during this heat wave. On the concrete it's probably 110 not fit for an animal IMO it's cruelty

It’s actually inappropriate for people to walk in bare feet…as well

But it’s a great point about the dogs. I don’t think Florida is the place to take pooch with you in the first place

In my opinion, humidity is the issue in FL in both the extreme heat and the extreme cold.

In my opinion, it always feels hotter ( and colder) when its humid.

I have never experienced a dry heat or a dry cold but I hear both feel better because they are dry.

Dry heat feels much cooler (especially in the shade) until it gets over 100, then it feels like an oven. It feels different than lower temps but high humidity (more of a sauna feel) and you don't realize how much you are sweating because it evaporates instead of soaking your clothes.

Two days ago I was in Big Sky Country and it was 92-93° and breezy. In the shade it actually felt cool. I got hot pretty quickly in the sun especially because of the higher altitude than Florida so the sun is stronger.

Newsflash: Its hot in central Florida in end of July and August

The good news is that Bob, Josh and Hugh can blame the low attendance in WDW on the heat

So, temps within 1-2F of normal, with maybe a bit more humidity than normal. If someone doesn't know that it's hot and humid in Florida in July, and ignore the daily reminders of how to handle the summer heat, there's really no helping them.

I will mention - Epcot is such a good park for Florida. It’s so easy to spend a majority of the day indoors.

Thousands of years ago humans knew that they needed to drink a lot of water when it was hot. It should be instinctive, especially when you are sweating and feeling all the water in your clothes that is coming out of your body.

Disney loves the heat they sell do much more of their high priced water

I mean they also give out a TON of free water so I don't really get the point of buying a water bottle more than once at Disney.

WS is brutal in the heat of July.

Shouldn't the water cause some insane cooling like some people say?
Honestly I was there earlier this month and it wasn't terrible because I kept going into the buildings for stuff but I do find Future World to feel cooler in my honest opinion.

There’s so many indoor attractions and shopping areas though.

Almost like those old dead guys who designed the place knew what they were doing...

Not to mention all the walking people have to do through parking lots or walking from buses.

Been to a concert lately? 8 bucks for a water. Highway robbery...

This is a terrible take.

Disney doesn’t "love the heat", they endure it, just like the rest of us.

Extreme temps jack up operational costs: more A/C, more staffing, more EMT calls for heatstroke, and higher wear on infrastructure not built for year-round inferno mode.

Sure, they’ll sell a few more $5 waters. But they’d rather have 85° and happy guests sticking around until fireworks instead of people tapping out at 2 p.m. because their kid melted in Fantasyland.
