After a day at Blizzard Beach I learned the hard way to read the details on the label...

I just can't see spending that much money bringing them so they can swim in a pool all week.
Originally Posted By pixarpixiedust I love Disney World and can only go every 2-4 years, but have good advice. On one of your August days, do Animal Kingdom first thing in the a.m. until noon. If you want, then eat lunch at the Rainforest Cafe. If not, take a swim or nap at your hotel. After that, go to any park but the Magic Kingdom (MK is only for starting off early or late).

Every other park has lots of places to cool off...also take advantage of the extra magic hours, because the nights are great. We also had the bad luck of hitting (so to speak!) Hurricane Charley, but that even turned out o.k. -- we got four extra days at the hotel paid for by our travel insurance : ). The Polynesian in awesome. Go and enjoy!

Originally Posted By Crazy4WDW Make sure if you are there during really hot days you get enough potassium. I drank loads of water during the day, but didn't have any o.j., Powerade or a banana, etc. When I was getting ready for bed one night my legs were jumpy. Really jumpy. My sister, who is a nurse, said I was really low on potassium. Not a good thing.
