Average temperatures reach 90 degrees during the day and fall into the sultry 70s at night.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Adding to the high average temperatures is the humidity. Orlando scores muggy conditions most of the time in July, according to <a href=\"https:\/\/weatherspark.com\/m\/17721\/7\/Average-Weather-in-July-in-Orlando-Florida-United-States\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Weatherspark<\/a>, with days that are considered oppressive.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>With so much humidity in the air, it\u2019s not surprising that July averages around 5 inches of rainfall throughout the month, with popup showers common on many summer days.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>If you\u2019re already hitting the stop button on a July vacation in Disney World, hold up a minute. While the Orlando weather may sound miserable, there is an upside to all of the heat and humidity. For one thing, it\u2019s a great time to enjoy Disney\u2019s waterparks. If you plan a trip during the cooler months, you may find it too cold to experience these additions to the Disney World theme park lineup.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>It\u2019s also a good time to lounge poolside or take a plunge on one of the famous waterslides common across all Disney World resorts. Just remember the sunscreen as the Florida sun can pack a punch during the summer.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Last, those rain showers we mentioned have a peculiar effect on park goers. Believe it or not, when the rain falls, many of them dash for the exits, leaving you to enjoy the rides and attractions in relatively blissful solitude. We\u2019ve been caught in Orlando rain showers before, and these days form some of our best Disney World vacation memories.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"s\">Strategies to Beat the Heat<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>When considering what to wear when visiting Disney World in July, you\u2019ll naturally pack for hot weather. Shorts, capris and moisture wicking fabrics are all a good bet. Try to avoid heavy materials that hold in the heat or don\u2019t breathe, such as denim.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Many frequent travelers also recommend wool as a cooling fabric choice for shirts. While wool is well regarded for its warmth, its a versatile fabric that also helps regulate body temperature in hotter weather. Best of all, when hung up after wearing, it&#8217;s less likely to hold odors, meaning you may get several wears from a shirt, even if you sweat.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>You&#8217;ll also find many air conditioned locations where you can take a break from the sun or high temps. All stores are cool and inviting as are many indoor rides or attractions. When you&#8217;re feeling the heat, sneak in one of these locations.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>If you start to feel extreme effects of the weather, head to a first aid center. Each park has one, with nurses on staff to check you over and dispense common over-the-counter medications you may need.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>One of our favorite ways to cope with the heat and humidity is to take an afternoon pool break. The parks tend to remain open late in July, so you won&#8217;t miss much by cooling down at your hotel pool. It&#8217;s actually surprising how few people do this, espcially since the parks are cooler and sometimes less crowded if you head back later in the evening.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"p\">Planning for Rain Showers<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Rain is a fact of life when visiting Disney World in July. Pop up showers are common, so it&#8217;s best to plan on getting wet.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>It&#8217;s also best to head out to the parks each day prepared. Packing a rain poncho will keep the bulk of your clothing dry if you do hit a passing shower. You may also want to invest in waterproof shoes. <a href=\"https:\/\/vessi.com\/?nbt=nb%3Aadwords%3Ag%3A8004955897%3A145653955119%3A649228057399&amp;nb_adtype=&amp;nb_kwd=waterproof%20shoes%20slip%20on&amp;nb_ti=kwd-310809645571&amp;nb_mi=&amp;nb_pc=&amp;nb_pi=&amp;nb_ppi=&amp;nb_placement=&amp;nb_si={sourceid}&amp;nb_li_ms=&amp;nb_lp_ms=&amp;nb_fii=&amp;nb_ap=&amp;nb_mt=b&amp;gclid=CjwKCAjw_LOwBhBFEiwAmSEQATv2Ut9E70JLK-6ZjxQsap7rS9StvvHyYEluhq0APmAiEhJJD2tPVhoCmwcQAvD_BwE&amp;campaignid=8004955897&amp;adgroupid=145653955119&amp;targetid=kwd-310809645571&amp;creative=649228057399&amp;network=g&amp;device=c&amp;gad_source=1\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Vessi<\/a> makes several stylish pairs that will add some protection against rain. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Another option is to purchase <a href=\"https:\/\/www.amazon.com\/Waterproof-Reflector-Anti-Snow-Rainproof-Overshoes\/dp\/B0CRKRMRKH\/ref=sr_1_1_sspa?dib=eyJ2IjoiMSJ9.pRVKkec26r3HAJEv0UcxKoqck-JMBE4pv8WcphPgR5CKwy4XgYNcCFh2SWARdTRw7Akxm3QCxbkyRIB0jAvuyfm0aQgqvZlrz0YNPvqEzAazE35UZgoJQBAC8scG9-Ng3tOHaWkynpemCQFbQxhavkmhjtMhZ3YJ4YZMROP02_ZKZgiw2zGHWeUxWYQt_6GViHbzDKqT9uNhOK-zCmpB791O1DDeypyacX_XWY8FvllPVFZsPeyTqczL1beBuC6IL23oS-DA9v-1mapyxhlLaO-hzRjY9gOVMi65iL20NEY.t9ItGr7Gv3RK333PDTBIdkUsCnoUkjfwCbogYDx8sbY&amp;dib_tag=se&amp;hvadid=616990817201&amp;hvdev=c&amp;hvlocphy=9003188&amp;hvnetw=g&amp;hvqmt=e&amp;hvrand=11194140079681855575&amp;hvtargid=kwd-3566405925&amp;hydadcr=24659_13611768&amp;keywords=rain%2Bshoe%2Bcovers&amp;qid=1712168519&amp;refinements=p_72%3A1248957011&amp;rnid=1248955011&amp;s=sporting-goods&amp;sr=1-1-spons&amp;sp_csd=d2lkZ2V0TmFtZT1zcF9hdGY&amp;th=1&amp;psc=1\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">waterproof shoe covers<\/a>. Donning these when you see the gray clouds approaching, could help to keep your feet dry.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Last, have a plan for what you&#8217;ll do when rain showers set in. It&#8217;s a great time to do some shopping, get in line to meet some of Disney&#8217;s characters or find a restaurant with availability and stop for a snack.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"fourth-of-july-in-disney-world\">Fourth of July in Disney World<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"683\" src=\"https:\/\/secondstogo.net\/wordpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/06\/park-troopers-ACv87kYooQQ-unsplash-1024x683.jpg\" alt=\"Fireworks erupt behind Cinderella&#039;s Castle on a day in Magic Kingdom\" class=\"wp-image-19149\" style=\"aspect-ratio:4\/3;object-fit:cover\" title=\"\" srcset=\"https:\/\/secondstogo.net\/wordpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/06\/park-troopers-ACv87kYooQQ-unsplash-1024x683.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/secondstogo.net\/wordpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/06\/park-troopers-ACv87kYooQQ-unsplash-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/secondstogo.net\/wordpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/06\/park-troopers-ACv87kYooQQ-unsplash-768x512.jpg 768w, https:\/\/secondstogo.net\/wordpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/06\/park-troopers-ACv87kYooQQ-unsplash-1536x1024.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/secondstogo.net\/wordpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/06\/park-troopers-ACv87kYooQQ-unsplash.jpg 1920w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">Photo by <a href=\"https:\/\/unsplash.com\/@parktroopers?utm_source=unsplash&amp;utm_medium=referral&amp;utm_content=creditCopyText\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Park  Troopers<\/a> on <a href=\"https:\/\/unsplash.com\/photos\/ACv87kYooQQ?utm_source=unsplash&amp;utm_medium=referral&amp;utm_content=creditCopyText\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Unsplash<\/a><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>If you enjoy grand celebrations and over-the-top fireworks spectaculars, then plan to spend the 4<sup>th<\/sup> of July in Disney World. Each year, Independence Day is celebrated like none other as the 4 parks don spirited attire and break out special eats and parade treats to celebrate the event.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In years gone by, the Magic Kingdom hosted the granddaddy of all fireworks spectaculars, with \u201cDisney\u2019s Celebrate America! A Fourth of July Concert in The Sky.\u201d For this one-night celebration, Cinderella\u2019s Castle came alive with stars and stripes, as fireworks choreographed to rousing tunes, lit up the night sky. The Fourth of July fireworks celebration at Disney World was nearly fifteen minutes long, stirring the patriotic sprit of young and old alike.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"t\">Strategizing for Fourth of July Crowds<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>The week of July fourth is the most crowded week of the month, as guests capitalize on a holiday from work to take fewer PTO days. With higher crowds in store, you&#8217;ll want to pay special attention to the tips below, to get the most out of your experience.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong>Consider staying onsite at a <a href=\"https:\/\/secondstogo.net\/wordpress\/disney-world-resorts-list-disney-world-resort-hotel\/\" data-type=\"post\" data-id=\"4472\">Disney World hotel<\/a>:<\/strong> As a guest of Disney, you&#8217;re entitled to <a href=\"https:\/\/secondstogo.net\/wordpress\/walt-disney-world-early-entry-disney-world-extra-magic-hours\/\" data-type=\"post\" data-id=\"6753\">Early Theme Park entry<\/a>, allowing you to enter one theme park every day 30 minutes before official opening. If that doesn&#8217;t sound like a lot of time, we typically breeze through at least 2 attractions during that time and sometimes 3. Just be sure to spend the hour visiting rides that will have the longest wait times as the day wears on.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Budget for Lightning Lane Multi Pass and Single Pass:<\/strong> Multi Pass and Single Pass let you skip the regular queue in favor of a shorter, expedited queue. It can be a real time saver, allowing you to get more done in a day, but you do need to purchase this option each day of your trip. Costs typically run from $20-$35 per person per day, so be sure to add some extra funds to your budget. If vacation spend is tight, consider which of the most popular attractions are must-dos for you, and prioritize Multi Pass or Single Pass for those parks. Also, be sure to learn how to use Multi Pass and Single Pass to make the most of it with our <a href=\"https:\/\/secondstogo.net\/wordpress\/disney-world-multipass-multi-pass\/\" data-type=\"post\" data-id=\"21972\">Multi Pass guide<\/a>.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Use mobile ordering for counter service meals:<\/strong> Disney&#8217;s mobile ordering feature allows you to preorder food from most counter service restaurants right from your phone. We usually place our order right before we get on the last ride before we want to eat. When we get off the ride, we let the app know we&#8217;re ready as we head in that direction. Shortly after we arrive, we receive a notification telling us our food is ready. We find a table and eat without standing in another line. Learn more about this time-saving Disney feature in our <a href=\"https:\/\/secondstogo.net\/wordpress\/disney-world-mobile-order\/\" data-type=\"post\" data-id=\"19533\">mobile order article<\/a>.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Line up for nighttime shows early:<\/strong> When viewing nighttime spectaculars, particularly any holiday themed fireworks or celebrations, plan to stake out a spot to watch at least an hour before show time. When crowds are high, prime viewing locations, such as the castle forecourt, will fill up quickly. If you want the perfect location for watching the show, be sure to claim it early. Alternatively, you can book a dinner fireworks package at EPCOT and watch from a reserved location. Magic Kingdom often offers a dessert package, providing sweet treats and reserved seating overlooking the castle.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator has-css-opacity\"\/>\n\n\n\n<p style=\"font-size:32px\"><a href=\"http:\/\/www.mickeyworldtravel.com\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Mickey World Travel<\/a>, Disney Vacation Planner \u2013 Let Us Help YOU Plan Your Magical Disney Adventure<\/p>\n\n\n<div class=\"gb-container gb-container-bdfc1bc0\">\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-columns is-layout-flex wp-container-core-columns-is-layout-9d6595d7 wp-block-columns-is-layout-flex\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-column is-layout-flow wp-block-column-is-layout-flow\">\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full is-resized\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"432\" height=\"432\" src=\"https:\/\/secondstogo.net\/wordpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/03\/in-front-of-tron-quote-block.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-23061\" style=\"width:797px;height:auto\" title=\"\" srcset=\"https:\/\/secondstogo.net\/wordpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/03\/in-front-of-tron-quote-block.jpg 432w, https:\/\/secondstogo.net\/wordpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/03\/in-front-of-tron-quote-block-300x300.jpg 300w, https:\/\/secondstogo.net\/wordpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/03\/in-front-of-tron-quote-block-150x150.jpg 150w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 432px) 100vw, 432px\" \/><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-column is-layout-flow wp-block-column-is-layout-flow\">\n<p class=\"has-accent-color has-text-color has-link-color wp-elements-c52dafb540be685287bc5e7c6ea63f70\" style=\"font-size:28px\">Make your July trip cool and hassle free.

The kids are out of school and parents still have weeks before they have to consider back-to-school shopping and plans.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Despite the popularity, parts of July offer some of the lowest<a href=\"https:\/\/secondstogo.net\/wordpress\/disney-world-tickets\/\"> theme park ticket<\/a> prices of the year. For one thing, Disney often runs ticket specials for July. In 2024, you could purchase a 4-Day, 4-Park Magic Ticket starting at $99&nbsp;per person per day for ages 10 and up. A 5-day base ticket (visit one park per day) was only $122 per day if you began your vacation on July 22. That totaled out to around $606 for a 5-day ticket. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/secondstogo.net\/wordpress\/disney-world-resorts-list-disney-world-resort-hotel\/\">Disney World resorts<\/a>, on the other hand, offer only mid-tier pricing during July. A night at an All-Stars resort, for example, starts at $204 per night. While it is not as cheap as the bargain basement rate of $133 you\u2019ll find during parts of January, it\u2019s still cheaper than the week of Christmas, when the same standard nightly rack rate climbs to nearly $300 a night.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The same holds true at many<a href=\"https:\/\/secondstogo.net\/wordpress\/disney-deluxe-resort-guide\/\"> Disney World deluxe resorts <\/a>where a night at Animal Kingdom Lodge can be had for $552 after July 5<sup>th<\/sup> offering a bargain over the rack rate of $677 found in parts of March and April.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"july-hotel-and-ticket-discounts\">Are Disney World Hotel and Ticket Discounts Available in July?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>July in Disney World has historically seen some fair-sized discounts on Disney World resort stays. In 2025, initial discounts for the month were dropped in January, and include a f<a href=\"https:\/\/secondstogo.net\/wordpress\/disney-free-dining\/\" data-type=\"post\" data-id=\"239\">ree dining plan<\/a> or up to <a href=\"https:\/\/secondstogo.net\/wordpress\/disney-world-discounts\/\" data-type=\"post\" data-id=\"5225\">30% off a resort stay<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>If you\u2019re planning to visit Disney World later in the month, be sure to bookmark our <a href=\"https:\/\/secondstogo.net\/wordpress\/disney-world-discounts-2022\/\">Disney World resort discounts page<\/a>, where we chronicle new offers as they\u2019re released.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Here\u2019s an important tip regarding discounts on resort stays. If you have your mind set on July travel dates, feel free to book your hotel, even if discounts have not been announced. You can always apply a discount to the reservation once offers are released, provided that your resort is covered by the discount. In other words, if you\u2019ve booked All Stars Resort, but the discount offers released for your dates of stay don\u2019t include All Stars, you won\u2019t be able to take advantage of the special deal unless you switch to an included hotel.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>But wait, this is a vacation. Who really wants to keep watching for discounts and rebooking reservations? If this is how you feel as well, consider booking with an authorized Disney World travel agency. We&#8217;ll take care of the planning, watch for discounts and even rebook you if a better offer comes up.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"july-crowds-at-disney-world\">July Crowds at Disney World<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"871\" src=\"https:\/\/secondstogo.net\/wordpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/04\/crowds-july-in-disney-world-1024x871.jpeg\" alt=\"Early crowds gather outside Spaceship Earth Disney World in July\" class=\"wp-image-23247\" style=\"aspect-ratio:4\/3;object-fit:cover\" title=\"\" srcset=\"https:\/\/secondstogo.net\/wordpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/04\/crowds-july-in-disney-world-1024x871.jpeg 1024w, https:\/\/secondstogo.net\/wordpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/04\/crowds-july-in-disney-world-300x255.jpeg 300w, https:\/\/secondstogo.net\/wordpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/04\/crowds-july-in-disney-world-768x653.jpeg 768w, https:\/\/secondstogo.net\/wordpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/04\/crowds-july-in-disney-world.jpeg 1366w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>The summer months used to be the most crowded times to visit Disney World. In recent years, a new trend has developed, with lower crowds during July and August and higher crowds spread across the year.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>To understand what to expect by way of crowds, we can look to the various crowd calendars that are published. We find Touring Plans to have the most accurate predictions as they base their numbers on a well-established method that includes regular observations of actual wait times within the park and a lengthy historical point of reference.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>For July of 2024, Touring Plans predicts that most days will rank between a 5 and 7 on a 10-point scale. To provide a point of reference, a day that is ranked a 5 on the Touring Plans scale will see approximate average wait times at headliner attractions as follows:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"a\">Average Wait Times for Most Popular Disney World Park Attractions in July<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-table\"><table><tbody><tr><td>ANIMAL KINGDOM<\/td><td><\/td><\/tr><tr><td>Avatar Flight of Passage<\/td><td>&nbsp; 66 minutes<\/td><\/tr><tr><td>Kilimanjaro Safaris&nbsp;<\/td><td>18 minutes<\/td><\/tr><tr><td><strong>MAGIC KINGDOM<\/strong><\/td><td>28 minutes<\/td><\/tr><tr><td>Big Thunder Mountain Railroad<\/td><td>55 minutes<\/td><\/tr><tr><td>Seven Dwarfs Mine Train<\/td><td>50 minutes<\/td><\/tr><tr><td>Space Mountain&nbsp;<\/td><td><\/td><\/tr><tr><td><strong>HOLLYWOOD STUDIOS<\/strong><\/td><td>35 minutes<\/td><\/tr><tr><td>Mickey &amp; Minnie&#8217;s Runaway Railway<\/td><td>38 minutes<\/td><\/tr><tr><td>Millennium Falcon: Smugglers Run<\/td><td>32 minutes<\/td><\/tr><tr><td>The Twilight Zone Tower of Terror<\/td><td><\/td><\/tr><tr><td><strong>EPCOT<\/strong><\/td><td><\/td><\/tr><tr><td>Remy\u2019s Ratatouille Adventure<\/td><td>38 minutes<\/td><\/tr><tr><td>Test Track&nbsp;<\/td><td>32 minutes<\/td><\/tr><\/tbody><\/table><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"special-events-taking-place-at-disney-world-in-july\">Special Events Taking Place at Disney World in July<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Over the last decade, Disney has begun to add a number of special events to the calendars for each park. Visiting Disney World in July of 2025 may be a little different.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>This year, the <a href=\"https:\/\/secondstogo.net\/wordpress\/epcot-flower-and-garden-festival\/\" data-type=\"post\" data-id=\"19947\">EPCOT International Flower and Garden Festival<\/a>, where characters bloom to life in the form of giant topiaries, comes to an end in June. Typically, as the Flower and Garden Festival comes to an end, EPCOT\u2019s International Food and Wine Festival roars to life. Guests can revel in unique culinary treats from around the world as you take in the culture and spirit of the World Showcase. <a href=\"https:\/\/disneyworld.disney.go.com\/events-tours\/epcot\/epcot-international-food-and-wine-festival\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Dates will be announced this spring<\/a> for the Food and Wine Festival.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Also included in the lineup, are Disney&#8217;s After Hours. At this special event, guests can enjoy limited waits on popular attractions, as attendance is capped to prevent long lines. In July of 2025, visitors to Disney World may enjoy Disney&#8217;s After Hours at Hollywood Studios and EPCOT. Check with your travel agent for tickets.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"t-1\">Tips for Navigating EPCOT&#8217;s Food and Wine Festival<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Extending from July to November, EPCOT&#8217;s long running Food and Wine Festival brings exotic tastes from around the world together in one event. It&#8217;s one of the park&#8217;s more popular experiences and crowds gather nightly to taste, sip and savor.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Know what to expect and prioritize: With tastings available across the <a href=\"https:\/\/secondstogo.net\/wordpress\/epcot-world-showcase\/\" data-type=\"post\" data-id=\"19890\">World Showcase<\/a>, as well as other areas of the park, you&#8217;ll find a bountiful feast in store. However, since each sip and savor does come with an additional price tag, prioritizing which items you plan to try is key. Food experiences become available around 90 days prior to the opening of the event, so be sure to get a copy and pick you must-try items before heading into the park.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Plan ahead for shows: The Flower Power Concert Series welcomes musical stars from across the decade and offers a bit of respite in a busy day. However, to get a place in the theater, you&#8217;ll need to plan ahead. Lines can begin forming one to two hours in advance. For guaranteed seating, look for a Flower Power dining package. Simply book at spot at one of the participating restaurants and received guaranteed seating in private viewing area.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Tips to avoid lines: The food stations throughoug the festival will attract long lines as the night wears on. Most move quite quickly and are rarely more than 5 mintues, in our experience. However, if you want to avoid the lines, plan your taste around the world experience for midday.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator has-alpha-channel-opacity\"\/>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><a href=\"https:\/\/secondstogomerch.com\/pages\/disney\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"819\" src=\"https:\/\/secondstogo.net\/wordpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/01\/disney-merch-4-panel-1024x819.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-22300\" style=\"aspect-ratio:4\/3;object-fit:cover\" title=\"\" srcset=\"https:\/\/secondstogo.net\/wordpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/01\/disney-merch-4-panel-1024x819.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/secondstogo.net\/wordpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/01\/disney-merch-4-panel-300x240.jpg 300w, https:\/\/secondstogo.net\/wordpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/01\/disney-merch-4-panel-768x614.jpg 768w, https:\/\/secondstogo.net\/wordpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/01\/disney-merch-4-panel-1536x1229.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/secondstogo.net\/wordpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/01\/disney-merch-4-panel-150x120.jpg 150w, https:\/\/secondstogo.net\/wordpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/01\/disney-merch-4-panel.jpg 2000w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/a><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator has-alpha-channel-opacity\"\/>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"what-to-pack-for-and-wear-in-disney-world-in-july\">What to Pack and Wear for Disney World in July<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>While cool and fast-drying clothing is a must, you\u2019ll also want to make sure you pack a bathing suit. It might sound obvious, but we\u2019ve forgotten them before. While Disney resort stores do sell swimsuits, you\u2019ll be paying a premium for something you might not even like.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Sunscreen is another essential when visiting Disney World. If you live in the northern states or other geographies where the sun is less intense, you won\u2019t be prepared to handle the summer Florida sun. Walking around the parks red and sunburnt is no fun, so be sure to pack sunscreen and use it often.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>And while we\u2019re talking about heat, it\u2019s also wise to talk about the antithesis. Some indoor locations, such as hotel resort lobbies, show venues, and restaurants can be downright chilly, so you may find yourself needing a jacket inside.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>We also recommend that you pack two pairs of comfortable shoes for wearing to the parks. Florida rain showers can easily soak a pair of sneakers which often take a day or more to dry out. Having an extra pair on hand allows you to head out to the parks each day in dry shoes, even if you\u2019ve suffered a soaking the day before.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>For a complete list of packing recommendations for a Disney World trip, feel free to check out our <a href=\"https:\/\/secondstogo.net\/wordpress\/packing-disney-world\/\">packing guide<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"refurbishments-and-closures-for-july\">Refurbishments and Closures for July<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"768\" src=\"https:\/\/secondstogo.net\/wordpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/04\/6025418a94cf40b7a600f8a705995937-1536x1152-1-1024x768.jpeg\" alt=\"Red and white colored pool slide themed to look like a roller coaster at Disney Boardwalk Inn in July\" class=\"wp-image-23248\" style=\"aspect-ratio:4\/3;object-fit:cover\" title=\"\" srcset=\"https:\/\/secondstogo.net\/wordpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/04\/6025418a94cf40b7a600f8a705995937-1536x1152-1-1024x768.jpeg 1024w, https:\/\/secondstogo.net\/wordpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/04\/6025418a94cf40b7a600f8a705995937-1536x1152-1-300x225.jpeg 300w, https:\/\/secondstogo.net\/wordpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/04\/6025418a94cf40b7a600f8a705995937-1536x1152-1-768x576.jpeg 768w, https:\/\/secondstogo.net\/wordpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/04\/6025418a94cf40b7a600f8a705995937-1536x1152-1.jpeg 1536w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>While Disney World is in a constant state of sprucing up park attractions, a full refurbishment schedule isn\u2019t always posted until a month or two ahead of time.

of a Trip to Disney World in July<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Heat and humidity are common<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Crowds are higher than some other times of the summer, such as August or

class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"tips-for-visiting-disney-world-in-july\">Tips for Visiting Disney World in July<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>How you survive Disney World in July comes down to two things: your tolerance for heat and how well you plan your days. Here are some tips to help you make the most of a July visit:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>1. While summer heat and humidity are par for the course in many geographies in July, keep in mind that excitement levels are also high when you visit Disney, so your body\u2019s reactions to the Orlando temperatures may be different than they would be at home. Be sure to drink plenty of water to stay hydrated and take frequent breaks to cool off.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>One of our favorite things to do is to grab a Micky ice cream sandwich, find a shady bench and sit down for a bit. Sometimes, it\u2019s nice just to enjoy the magic and theming of a Disney World park.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>2. While staying hydrated is an essential tip for dealing with the heat, drinking cooled beverages can also help to keep you feeling cooler. Consider taking an insulated water bottle filled with your favorite chilled drink and sip frequently throughout the day.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>3. Arriving to the parks early, taking a mid-day break outside the parks, and then heading back in the evening is a great way to get out of the summer sun for a bit and cool off. Take some time to visit your resort hotel pool, take a nap in your air-conditioned room or even visit the AC cooled shops at Disney springs.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>4. To avoid summertime crowds, particularly if you\u2019re visiting Disney World during the fourth of July week, consider arriving to the parks early to take advantage of<a href=\"https:\/\/secondstogo.net\/wordpress\/walt-disney-world-early-entry-disney-world-extra-magic-hours\/\"> early theme park entry<\/a>. Also, consider purchasing Multi Pass and gain access to expedited queues on many attractions.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>5. If you plan to enjoy a character meal, think about making your reservation for dinner time. Mornings offer the coolest temperatures of the day as well as the least crowded conditions in the park. If you plan your character meal for breakfast, you\u2019ll be heading into the parks as both lines and temperatures escalate.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>6. Plan your day ahead of time and try to alternate between outdoor rides and those with a closed air-conditioned queue or ride building. After standing in line and riding Big Thunder Mountain Railroad, the cooled interior portions of Splash Mountain will offer you ample opportunities to cool off, not to mention the splash at the end.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator has-css-opacity\"\/>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"additional-articles-you-may-enjoy\">Additional Articles You May Enjoy<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-columns is-layout-flex wp-container-core-columns-is-layout-9d6595d7 wp-block-columns-is-layout-flex\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-column is-layout-flow wp-block-column-is-layout-flow\">\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"an-insiders-guide-to-the-best-time-to-visit-disney-world-what-the-experts-say\"><a href=\"https:\/\/secondstogo.net\/wordpress\/best-time-visit-disney-world\/\" data-type=\"post\" data-id=\"19635\">An Insider\u2019s Guide to the Best Time to Visit Disney World: What the Experts Say<\/a><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large is-resized\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"683\" height=\"1024\" src=\"https:\/\/secondstogo.net\/wordpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/04\/best-time-to-visit-disney-world-pin-683x1024.png\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-23252\" style=\"width:478px;height:auto\" title=\"\" srcset=\"https:\/\/secondstogo.net\/wordpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/04\/best-time-to-visit-disney-world-pin-683x1024.png 683w, https:\/\/secondstogo.net\/wordpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/04\/best-time-to-visit-disney-world-pin-200x300.png 200w, https:\/\/secondstogo.net\/wordpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/04\/best-time-to-visit-disney-world-pin-768x1152.png 768w, https:\/\/secondstogo.net\/wordpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/04\/best-time-to-visit-disney-world-pin.png 1000w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 683px) 100vw, 683px\" \/><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-column is-layout-flow wp-block-column-is-layout-flow\">\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"disney-in-august-is-it-a-good-time-to-go\"><a href=\"https:\/\/secondstogo.net\/wordpress\/disney-in-august-is-it-a-good-time-to-go\/\" data-type=\"post\" data-id=\"14282\">Disney in August, Is It a Good Time to Go?<\/a><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large is-resized\"><a href=\"https:\/\/secondstogo.net\/wordpress\/disney-in-august-is-it-a-good-time-to-go\/\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"683\" height=\"1024\" src=\"https:\/\/secondstogo.net\/wordpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/04\/Disney-in-August-pin-1-683x1024.png\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-14329\" style=\"width:392px;height:auto\" title=\"\" srcset=\"https:\/\/secondstogo.net\/wordpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/04\/Disney-in-August-pin-1-683x1024.png 683w, https:\/\/secondstogo.net\/wordpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/04\/Disney-in-August-pin-1-200x300.png 200w, https:\/\/secondstogo.net\/wordpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/04\/Disney-in-August-pin-1-768x1152.png 768w, https:\/\/secondstogo.net\/wordpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/04\/Disney-in-August-pin-1.png 1000w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 683px) 100vw, 683px\" \/><\/a><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-column is-layout-flow wp-block-column-is-layout-flow\">\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"disney-world-in-winter-six-things-to-know-before-you-go\"><a href=\"https:\/\/secondstogo.net\/wordpress\/disney-world-in-winter-six-things-to-know-before-you-go\/\" data-type=\"post\" data-id=\"4508\">Disney World in Winter: SIX Things to Know Before You Go<\/a><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"683\" height=\"1024\" src=\"https:\/\/secondstogo.net\/wordpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/07\/disney-world-in-winter-pin-2024-683x1024.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-23131\" title=\"\" srcset=\"https:\/\/secondstogo.net\/wordpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/07\/disney-world-in-winter-pin-2024-683x1024.jpg 683w, https:\/\/secondstogo.net\/wordpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/07\/disney-world-in-winter-pin-2024-200x300.jpg 200w, https:\/\/secondstogo.net\/wordpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/07\/disney-world-in-winter-pin-2024-768x1152.jpg 768w, https:\/\/secondstogo.net\/wordpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/07\/disney-world-in-winter-pin-2024.jpg 1000w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 683px) 100vw, 683px\" \/><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator has-css-opacity\"\/>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Last updated: May 1, 2025 July in Disney World has been likened to putting a hot wet blanket over your head and walking around all day, but despite the tropical heat, there are some advantages to visiting Disney World in July.
