Summer Tips: Stay Cool & Hydrated

Mickey Mouse Dreams ºoº

Hooray... it's summer! Many people visit Disneyland Resort this time of year. But don't forget the happiest place on earth can also be the hottest! Here are a few tips you'll want to remember:
  • Stay Hydrated! Don't wait until you are thirsty to drink. When you feel thirsty your body is already dehydrated. Avoid drinks that contain caffeine or alcohol. The best fluids are water or sports drinks. We have never had a problem toting in a small cooler on/in our stroller with frozen waters and sports drinks.
  • Protect Yourself From The Sun! Sunscreen, protective head gear and sun glasses are good ideas! If you forget your sunscreen some of the gift shops carry it.
  • Stay Cool! When the sun is at its peak look for cool zones. Check out indoor attractions like Innoventions at Disneyland or the Disney Animation building at Disney's California Adventure. Air conditioned stores are also a good places to cool down!
Other ways to beat the heat: mini battery operated fans, misters, ice cream, dole whip, ride a water attraction, watch an indoor show like Aladdin at Disney California Adventure.
