Taking in The Country Bears Jamboree is a great way to beat the heat, the cold, or the rain at Disney!

Dealing with the Weather at Disney

Hey everyone, I’m Mike, and she’s Sophie, and We’re on the Road with Mickey! This is episode #27 for July 6, 2020, and today, our feature topic is Dealing with the weather at Disney. Grab a drink, relax, and join us as we talk about some of the tips we have and others have shared about how to handle all the different weather conditions at Disney. Here’s our rundown of what we talked about:

Cheddar from the Big Cheese

Dining reservations were able to be made starting June 30! For us, we snagged dinner at the Garden Grill in Epcot — one of two character dining locations at Walt Disney World. We’ll report back on what Disney means by “Modified Character Experience” when we get back!

Other Dining News: Oga’s Cantina will not reopen when Hollywood Studios opens on July 15. It was originally on the list to re-open with the park.

Over at Disney+ — word is out that The Greatest Showman will be making an appearance on Disney+ this summer! Get ready!

Lastly, over at shopDisney.com, check out the Minnie Mouse Ear headband for Aulani! Here’s a sneak peak of what that will look like!

Ponchos

Indoor Attractions

Hydration

Checking the Disney Parks channel for the forecast

Dressing accordingly down to the nines

Tips from the listeners:

Suck it up and get out there! LOL! Seriously, rain chases people away, so unless there’s a lot of lightning or dangerous weather, just keep moving. If it’s hot, hop from one indoor event to another. Drink water!!! Go back to the hotel midday to rest, swim, cool off. And if it’s raining on a hot day (nearly every summer day in FL), dance in the puddles to cool off! Book your stay during hurricane season to save money. Don’t worry! People actually evacuate TO Walt Disney World during storms, because it’s inland, self-sustaining, and solid. Also limitless food and entertainment! If it’s cold—ok, relative to other places, it’s only cool here in winter, but the humidity makes it feel much chillier—dress in layers to peel off during the warm afternoon, but keep that jacket ready for when the sun goes down.
