We truly think visiting Disney World during the summer should be considered an Olympic sport. You’re walking half marathons around the parks everyday, you’re drenched in sweat, and you’re doing it all while juggling kiddos, DOLE Whips, and those bubble wands your kids begged you to buy.
Is it just us or is EPCOT one of the HOTTEST parks?
And let’s face it — the heat can be unbearable, especially with all the extra things you’re having to carry around the parks. While yes, everyone complains about how uncomfortable and annoying the heat is, everyone forgets to talk about how dangerous it can be as well. Heat stroke is very real, but it can also be avoided. With proper planning and packing, you can fit in your park bag everything you need to beat the heat.
When it comes to staying cool on those hot summer park days, only one thing has proven to be effective for us. The easiest and most efficient way for us to find relief from the heat has proven to be a cooling towel! Cooling towels are typically super affordable and are easy to fit inside your park bag. Amazon has an impressive array of options, so let’s take a look at some of them!
Staying cool at Disney World is a must to ensure you’re comfortable and safe!
First up, we have Frog Toggs. Frog Toggs was one of the first brands to put out these high-quality cooling towels, and their towels are a pretty reliable choice.

When it comes to these cooling towels, are biggest tip is to let them dry completely before rewetting them so that they aren’t constantly wet. Letting them dry completely (and letting them dry before you stow them in your bags) will keep them from getting that yucky mildew smell while you’re walking around the parks. Plus, taking them off your body occasionally and allowing them to air out actually allows the technology to work more efficiently, and therefore helping you stay cooler!
You can even buy some in the parks!
For the sake of keeping it real, though — staying cool won’t do you much good in this heat unless you’re also hydrating. Getting enough water intake can be difficult while being on the go, so we recommend electrolyte packets like the LiquidIV Hydration Multipliers to help get the job done.

We like to mix these in with free water cups while eating lunch or dinner, and it helps to ensure that we’re hydrated all day long!

There ya have it, folks! Please let this serve as a reminder that you absolutely cannot have the best vacation ever UNLESS you are taking care of yourself along the way. Staying cool and hydrated is an easy way to help make sure your Disney vacation is as magical as possible during those hot summer months.
