News Florida Division of Emergency Management warns against dangerously hot and humid conditions at Walt Disney World this week

[G00fyDad]

We got back from a trip to Clearwater last week and it was miserable hot the whole time after it stopped raining that Wednesday. Thursday, Friday and Saturday were very hot and humid. So much so that it sucked your breath out as soon as you walked outside the resort.

They do this. Not bottled water, but free cups of water.

Yep, I’ve drank the free water every time we’ve ever been to WDW (July trips, mostly). I don’t drink soft drinks, and why pay for water if ya’ don’t hafta’…?!

I would think I left my aqualung behind when I stepped out into that, like breathing water

And Florida. In June, July, and August. This isn't a new weather thing and it is bonkers to me we have to remind grown adults it's hot and humid in Florida in the Summer. (At least half my trips have been between May and September.)

Yeah…I lived there

Doesn’t mean it’s still not getting worse…and sucks

This weather is a little above the standard, even for Florida.

How anyone goes on a golf vacation in FL in these temps is brave. The gators have the right idea, keep cool in the water.

Spent a week in Madrid, Seville and Cordoba last June. 105 to 108 actual temp. No signs and no warnings. Lived to tell the tale.

Europe is not as consistently pro active like our country. Never was, never will be. In the summer 2003, 14K dead in France mostly elderly from the heat wave.

I've lived here all my life and this heat is much hotter than usual. Weather has been weird (at least in Orlando) lately too where it will either rain almost excessively beyond the usual summer 3 o clock storms or like today it is hotter than the sun with very little cloud coverage. It is getting worse every year since when I was a kid

Right now you'd need to go at like 6am and even then it's warm out. I remember golfing in Winnipeg with coworkers in August and they were moaning and complaining (it was like 84). I laughed and told them we'd all be dead if we were doing the same thing in Florida at 2pm.

I'm really surprised that when it gets this hot that Disney doesn't setup free water carts throughout the park. The cost would be negligible compared to the good will and health benefits. There is no reason they can't have carts setup giving out free bottles of water or even have every cast member grab 5 bottles on their way out of the tunnels to give away as they are at their location.

Be Our Guest used to have something like this.. a cart with a CM handing out cold waters before you went in ..

 

[seabreezept813]

We’ve been in August many times. Always bring pedialyte pouches for the kids and adults just to be safe. Even at home in MA in the summer I’ll give to my kids if we’re out in the sun all day by the pool etc

 

[Comped]

At some point it's really be common sense - we all should know that if it's really hot out you should drink water... Either you bring your own or you find where it is.

Because authority has lost a bit of credibility over the last few years.

I don't think anyone needed reminding. I knew full well before I went what it was going to be like. Still doesn't keep it from sucking.

It was rough but I still had a great time. Honestly, I am not a beach person by any stretch of the imagination. I am more of a northwest woods cabin sort of person. I actually stayed in the hotel room while my wife, son, and his GF went to the beach. It was a VERY nice hotel so it was just fine with me. The only time I went out was to go shopping or to get something to eat with the group.

They should build a park somewhere else. Our best Disney days have been the cold ones.

Or, keep the parks open much later. Much easier than the above, and then guests can choose when to visit. I would never go during the daylight if I had a choice.
