yjgirl32 1 Posted February 27, 2016 Report Share Posted February 27, 2016 Hello. We are in the planning stages for our trip next year. We will be going in the later part of July and any tips about going to Disney and the Fort in July would be greatly appreciated. Thanks for all the help. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
twiceblessed....nacole 433 Posted February 27, 2016 Report Share Posted February 27, 2016 My main tip is: Stay hydrated. It will be hot. If you're in a tent, bring a couple of fans. Tent or RV: try and come back for a rest in the afternoon. You'll be able to rest, hydrate, cool off and head back out. Have a magical trip!! Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Cortezcapt (Derek) 156 Posted February 27, 2016 Report Share Posted February 27, 2016 What Nacole said and I'll add plan for rain! Pick up some cheap ponchos (almost every store in FL sells them) that you can toss in a backpack or something to carry with you. Afternoon rain storms are almost an everyday occurrence and if you are prepared you can carry on with what you're doing and not be caught in the mad rush of people trying to buy overly priced flimsy ponchos in the parks. (I did get some nice reusable ponchos from the trading post one time, but paid more for one then I did 2 heavy duty ones with bags at walgreens.)

GaDawgFan.....Kelly 799 Posted February 27, 2016 Report Share Posted February 27, 2016 I prefer the dollar store ponchos because they're so small and most of the time, you pack them and don't need them. Agree with staying hydrated. All QS restaurants serve free ice water. Take advantage of that, or pack Power Aid in a backpack and ask for free ice to cool it down.

yjgirl32 1 Posted February 27, 2016 Author Report Share Posted February 27, 2016 How are the crowds at the Fort during this time? Once again thank for all the help. Much appreciated. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Travisma 1,317 Posted February 27, 2016 Report Share Posted February 27, 2016 Wear light, breathable clothing. Jeans, khakis, don't cut it, even jean shorts. Pack a bunch of shirts, then pack even more. Even if you don't sweat (glisten) at home, you will down here, or will get wet from rain. Lots of water, gator aid, to drink. Cheap ponchos from Wal Mart, they are usually reusable though you will never get them back in their tiny bags. Or get the ones from Dollar Tree, you might get 1 or 2 uses out of them. If you are coming without a refrigerator, invest in at least 2 good ice chests. We have Coleman Extremes, about 1/10th the cost of a Yeti, but keeps stuff cold and frozen. One is long term storage, the other is day to day stuff, and maybe even a 3rd just for drinks. Not sure how crowded parks are, we have the Silver Passes with summer blackout dates. We stayed over a week during 4th of July and had a great time, and we used tents and a PUP. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Cortezcapt (Derek) 156 Posted February 27, 2016 Report Share Posted February 27, 2016 We stayed a few days around the 26th of July last year, crowds weren't bad at all. Sent from my SM-G900V using Tapatalk Quote Link to post Share on other sites
