Drink lots of water, you can easily become dehydrated in the heat. Stay clear of carbonated drinks, tea & coffee. Dehydration can lead to weakness, fatigue, and eventually heat stroke due to the body's reduced ability to regulate its temperature.

Carry a small bottle of water around with you, you can buy straps in the parks to attach to a bottle to make it easier to carry. Take regular drinks.

There are water fountains throughout the parks, you can fill up your bottles here.

Use a high factor sunscreen, especially on children. Apply every couple of hours, & more frequently if you are in the water.

Wear a hat & sunglasses, to protect your head, face & eyes.

Don't forget that UV rays can penetrate clouds, so it's important to cover up even in cloudy weather.

Go back to your hotel in the afternoon for a dip in the pool to cool you off.

Cool off in the one of the many interactive fountains that can be found in the parks. (Don't forge to take spare clothing with you!)

Go on a ride such as Splash Mountain or Kali River Rapids where you'll get wet!

Being hot is a great excuse to eat lots of ice cream! Another great cooler is a shaved ice drink.

Buy a mini fan, or even better a fan with a spray bottle attached.

Go indoors, into an air-conditioned shop or attraction.

Try to do the outdoor attractions in the morning, & save the indoor attractions & shows until the afternoon when it's hotter.

Wear light coloured clothing, dark colours will make you hotter.
