We are preparing for our next Disney vacation, which will be in September. September is certainly NOT my favorite month to travel to Florida, but we got preferred rooms at Riverside with free dining. So it was a no-brainer that we would go then. We plan to leave the day before Labor Day, so Rod will only have to use 4 days vacation as we return home Saturday evening. Now I just have to figure out some ways to beat the heat.
Let me just say that I have never been in a pool at Walt Disney World. Because of my weight, I am embarrassed to be seen in a bathing suit. I do have one, I just never pack it. The twins have tried to convince me that this year, since I will probably never see the people who see me at the pool, I need to pack that suit. I'm thinking on that. I do have to admit though, that it would be nice to relax in some clear, cool water in the afternoon heat. So, maybe,
I've made some neck coolers, which I may put on my Etsy site. They are made of cotton and are filled with polymer crystals. You soak them in water overnight, and the polymer crystals swell and when you put them around your neck, they really
do help to keep you cool.
I also want to purchase a cooling mist fan - it's a spray bottle with a fan attached. This one is available at Walmart. I'm thinking that I might need to figure out a pattern for a holder that I can hang on the handles of my scooter.
My favorite way to keep cool in the parks is to visit the indoor shows that are air conditioned. In Magic Kingdom, it's that Hall of Presidents; in EPCOT, it's the American Adventure. Both of these are great places to sit and cool off, and Rod and the twins can attest that they are both great places to catch a short nap. I know that a lot of people don't care for the Living with the Land ride in EPCOT, but I love it. Not only is it a nice cool boat ride, but you get a chance to see some really innovative ways that Disney is growing vegetables.
Have a great weekend, and keep cool.
