it’s no wonder “how to stay cool in Disney World” is the fiirst thing we wonder during summer travel. Orlando’s weather has it’s perks (hello, palm trees), but the summer can admittedly feel brutal between the temperature, sun intensity, and my wavy hair’s arch nemesis: HUMIDITY.

My Ideal Day in Animal Kingdom with Kids Out of all the parks in Walt Disney World, Animal Kingdom is the one I crave.
