Reddit reviews O2-Cool Carabiner Water Misting Fan, Colors May Vary (1 Fan Included)

Get to the park early - in time for rope drop. (So at least 30 minutes before the scheduled park opening time.) You'll get a lot done in those first few hours when the crowds are relatively low.

When the crowds start to pick up around lunch/early afternoon in the heat of the day, head back to your hotel for a break - pool, nap, whatever. Come back later on once it's cooled off a bit around dinner or in the evening.

Stay hydrated! You can get a free cup of ice water at any counter service restaurant. No need to buy bottled water unless you object to the taste of Florida tap water.

Disney sells giant misting fans but they're bulky and expensive. If you want to take your own, I like these little ones that are about the size of a deck of cards.

Wear a hat and sunscreen. No exceptions.

If you're starting to melt, check out attractions like the Carousel of Air Condtioning Progress, The Hall of Air Conditioning Presidents, Ellen's Air Conditioning Energy Adventure, The American Air Conditioning Adventure. Or consider it a convenient reason to get a Dole Whip, Mickey bar, All American Sundae, etc.

There are some other suggestions in this thread.

I ordered a bunch of stuff for this year. I went a little amazon crazy.

I stubbed my toe on a tent stake last year so I ordered these glow in the dark tent stakes.

I figured this blow up couch would be a cool addition to our campsite.


I got one of these battery powered fans for my tent.


I ordered a few of these batter powered led lights in different colors for decoration.


I ordered like 4 of these portable fans for our camping group to clip onto their camel packs for the daytime heat.


I ordered this portable battery pack to keep my phone charged.


I ordered a 300 pack of glowsticks 100 for each day.

I ordered these light shooter things. They are fun to play with in the camping grounds.


I ordered one of these anti chafe sticks for my fat legs. It's truly a life saver.


Also I ordered The Watterpuff for obvious reasons.

Or just buy one of these and keep it on hand with a couple of extra batteries.

Maybe stick it around her neck. Sometimes simple is better. But hey, what do I know? Maybe I've never been anywhere where heat stroke is common in people who wear fancy outfits in summer heat.

Like a motorcycle event in the desert where people wear leather jackets and pants, for example.

We were there the last week of August and the heat and humidity, especially with the hurricane coming in, was pretty brutal.

For the kids we got these small water spray bottles which were way cheaper than the bottles in the park and much smaller. I clipped them to a cheap carabiner on the stroller and they worked well. I had extra batteries and didn't need them. We got an extra and used it since my daughter decided to throw hers 'for fun' and broke it.

We rented a stroller and it helped a lot to prevent the kids from getting exhausted.

At one point my daughter was about to have a meltdown and I took her to the baby area. even though she is four they didn't have any issue letting her sit and watch the show playing on the TV and just cool off / calm down.
