as an aussie who is experienced with the heat these are fantastic tips. i tend to take some of the hydralyte to put in my park bottle to help you stay hydrated and helps if you dont like the water taste
Love these tips! I've lived in Florida for 14 years, and I still learned some new tips from this video! One thing I will add is that sometimes water is not enough to hydrate you. If you are drinking a lot of water and still feel faint, you may need electrolytes. Gatorade, Powerade, and other electrolyte drinks can really help during those afternoon hours. I like to bring individual packets of electrolyte powder into the parks just in case
I agree with the Gatorade, I have lived in Florida since 2006, but I was born and raised in Puerto Rico… Florida is hell’s balcony like 8 months of the year.
I did the same .. when I went to discovery cove .. not thinking as I stayed in the water for hours .. but I got such bad sunstroke and was ill in bed for 2 days after . Your a lovely guy . I love watching u and Adam on ya trips .
Thanks Gary, I'm in a bit of a panic about my upcoming trip to Disney and the sun/heat after being diagnosed with melanoma and going through lengthy cancer treatment...we had booked the holiday before I found out and it has turned into a bit of a celebration of, well, me still being here to be frank! I will adopt all of your tips - I am a bit paranoid about using a uv umbrella, but i just need to get over feeling self-conscious! With sunscreen, it's also important to keep reapplying it throughout the day, every 4 hours or so (and always after swimming, as you say). Also, worth saying you can buy 'UPF' clothing that is specifically designed to protect you from the sun - good choices are places like Mountain Warehouse (not the height of fashion but it'll do to keep safe!). Love your content, keep smiling :D
Oh Gary that sunburn looked painful! Our tips if going with kids. Buy a backpack cooler from Amazon and bring gallon ziplock bags. You fill those with ice and they act as your ice packs for water bottles. This works best if you have a stroller since you don't have to actually carry it. Also, Simply Modern, hydroflask or Stanley cups if you fill with ice will stay cold all day long even in a regular park bag. We've never had issues with leakage with these brands. Sometimes you don't want to be bothered with a QS line when you just need water. The cooling towels are great, but if you don't want a soaked neckline then just dab your neck with one instead of wrapping it around.
I love that umbrella! What a genius idea! I also reccomend cycling shorts for under clothing, like dresses to stop any chaffing. And also, a cap that can be dunked in water. Cold water on your head is a game changer, especially if you can feel sunstroke coming on xx
Hi, Louisiana here. Agree with the wet hat strategy- at festivals I wear a straw cowboy hat and take ice and plop it right under the hat and I swear it gives me life!!! 🫠
As someone who lives in Florida I completely agree with all your tips. The cooling towels are very nice to have and you can get them cheaper on Amazon don’t buy them at the parks. Also never wear jeans to parks unless you are coming in December or January when it’s cooler in Florida.
I love the fan being set to Beyoncé!! OMG that cracked me up!! Thanks for sharing your tips. When I take my umbrella when it’s sunny hotter day, I always say, “Can’t forget my SUNBRELLA!” ☀️🫠
Great tips! I have lived in Orlando for along time and still not use to the heat. If you can, take a break from the park during the hottest time of the day. Enjoy AC and pool at your hotel. Love your shirt!
Thanks for the tips! I live in Hawaii and it's hot and humid here year-round, although not as humid as Florida, since it doesn't rain as much. I'm always trying to stay hydrated, and use cooling towels also, since they're cheap and easy to "rejuvenate" by swishing them around in the air.
The hydration tip is definitely a given. I recently had a mini vacation, and due to sensory overload, I completely forgot to drink enough. Luckily I remembered for the rest of the vacation.
Thanks Gary, we have our fans at the ready for our trip in 2 weeks. I totally agree with the UV umbrella, we took one last time and it was a life saver. We actually named it the umbrella of life 💕
Great tips! I moved here to Florida a few months ago and the heat is insane. The fans, cooling towels and taking breaks have helped me the most. Going to look into that umbrella :)
Darling!!!! Super Happy to see you Fabulous start by the way!!!... Living in Florida right now August YASSSS!!! it's 🔥 🥵 HOT right now!!!!!... I agree 👍 with ALL your tips Darling!.. the humidity 😫 is crazy! Please drink a lot of water 💧! Fabulous Florida!!! PS I can not wait until January, February!!! LOL! 😂🤣⛄️MUCH LOVE ❤️ TO YOU and Everyone! BLESSINGS 💛
HYDRATION IS ULTIMATELY IMPORTANT I'm sure Adam reminds you also,but I have found that the reason most visitors seem to feel sick after some time at WDW is they are not prepared to hydrate at the level needed. My friends that i lived with while working as a seasonal cast member pounded the concept into me as well. You have to start drinking water several days ahead of your arrival and don't stop. Don't drink when you're thirsty...just drink continuously. (and don't forget tovisit the loo often. haha)
Liquid talc is also great for thighs rubbing! I get the Asda little angels version! My hubby thought I was crazy but tried it when we were away last week and now swears by it. Another small win!
A second shirt to change into and wipes (wet ones, baby wipes, etc) to wipe the sweat off and then add another layer of sunblock. Using the wipes and changing your shirt makes you feel like a new person!
Amazing, thank you Gary 💙 one I’ve been using, not for the parks, but just of an evening. Put on a sheet mask over your face and sit next to a fan of some kind. Honestly, the relief and the cooling it gives really helps me at night time
I love you Gary! ❤️🌹 Just another suggestion, now that I find myself living and hour from MK. Freeze two water bottles. Put them in the bottom of your backpack. Its cools your back, and as they defrost drink the icy goodness!
Great tips Gary!! I am not a lover of the heat, so I just might need to get a fan, and umbrella for my next trip!! Love the content, and the delivery is next level…”let the weave breathe”just made me laugh.🤣🤣🤣 Thank you!!
The fan and the evian bottle are really a good base start for the heath. And the Evian bottles last surprisingly long in my opinion. I have used them during hikes as well and they are a great help for me.
I Gary. Just want to thank you. because you and Adam take a few minutes to take a picture with me at animal kingdom. I am the girl in a scooter, I was going to satuli canteen. It was one of my most amazing moment !!!
Been once in June 🥵never again, we love Florida in November, catch the end of Halloween 🎃 and the start of Christmas 🎄 plus the weather is perfect 👌 Love you Gary C 💕 xxx
I bought the 1, 2 Beyoncé fan last year for myself, I also bought one for my mum for Mother’s Day and yesterday my family was using it and asking where I had it from.
Hi Gary, I bought YQXCC 2 Pack Cooling Towel (120x30 cm) for £8 back in Jan, (now £11) & they are marvelous! I had badly swollen feet that needed ice but I couldn't bear the pain from the weight of cold packs. These towels were ideal because there is no weight to them, and once damp you can shake them out and they regain their cool! Far superior to any ordinary towel, it's magic how they get so cold. Thanks for all your suggestions too.
Just saw the Adam and Gary C video that Adam put up today. It was amazing. You two certainly looked like you had fun. The ship looked amazing. Can't wait for more of them .
