You’ll want to be prepared for heat in Florida, as I’m sure you’ve guessed this is the hottest time of year to visit. Athletic gear can be a great choice, since it tends to use moisture wicking fabrics. You’ll want to make sure to bring your swimming gear and make the most of your resort amenities as well!

We often end up at Disney World in the summer months because of it being a convenient time to travel with our school aged children. I’ve also gotten some great deals on deluxe resorts at this time of year, so it can be a great time to try out new resorts too!
What’s the Weather Like in July at Disney World?
Prepare for being in the heat, because summer in Florida is HOT! Average temperatures in July at Disney World are in the 90-degree range (Fahrenheit) with a lot of humidity. Also in the afternoons during the summer, it is common to get pop up thunderstorms. So we always like to make sure we have our rain gear packed in the theme park bag.
Our whole family likes to bring neck fans, personal fans, and cooling towels at this time of year. They help bring your temperature down, especially in areas where you may have to stand still like in a line.

We bring cooling towels, personal cooling neck fans, and handheld fans for every member of our party! At night we charge all of them up, ensuring that they are at the ready for everyone the next morning.
Afternoons reach the highest temperatures. In July we use our “Hot Weather Strategy” of going into the theme park in the morning, exiting in the afternoon by around 1pm when the sun is at full strength. And then heading back into the theme park in the evenings for dinner or after dinner.
In the evenings it usually will cool down in the mid-70s range, so it’s a more comfortable time to head back into the theme park.
I love wearing dresses at this time of year to stay cool! (I always wear bike shorts underneath them!)

June can be a fantastic time to visit Walt Disney World! You just want to make sure you arrive with a realistic plan of what you’ll do during your trip, plan to take breaks, and have the right hot weather gear!
July Specific Packing Essentials
Plan to pack average temperatures in the 90 degree range! July is extremely hot, but you can manage the heat by bringing cooling items like personal fans, cooling towels, and sun umbrellas.
Being ready for the heat should be your main concern at this time of year, so focus on packing lightweight clothing that is breathable. I love a cute outfit, but in the hottest months of the year my outfits are centered on being as light as possible!

You’ll also likely be doing a lot of water activities at this time of year, so we always bring multiple sets of swimming gear and water shoes! They are convenient to walk around on the hot pavement at pools and water parks.
For shoes, bring a few pairs of comfortable walking shoes to alternate between each day. And I like bringing a few different theme park bags to alternate between to match my outfits.
