Four Refreshing Ways to Beat the Heat at EPCOT!
While I love all of the Disney theme parks, visiting EPCOT is always one of my favorite experiences.
Especially this time of year!
From the amazing Epcot International Flower & Garden Festival to the delicious food and drinks to the fantastic immersive experiences, there is so much to take in and do.
This is also the perfect time of year when the sun is bright, a gentle breeze blows, and the weather gets hot. But no worries!

My personal fave? I head to the Mexico Pavilion and hop aboard The Gran Fiesta Tour.
It’s cool, it’s dark, it’s quiet…it is the perfect way to unwind and cool off for a few minutes. And the lines are never too long!
2. Wander through World Showcase!
Take a leisurely stroll through the World Showcase pavilions. Many of these pavilions are fully air-conditioned inside and offer a variety of boutiques, exhibitions, and dining options.
I love exploring all of the pavilions, but when I need to cool off I take a little more time in Japan.
You can sit down and enjoy the authentic Japanese cuisine in Takumi-Tei, indulge in a refreshing Kaki-Gori, or wander through the amazing (and huge) Mitsukoshi Department Store.
Gentle soothing music and a cool environment make this a great way to escape the heat!
3. Chill at the Refreshment Station
It is back! The Refreshment Station just re-opened and is offering a cool place to sit and chilly refreshments to enjoy!
The two popular sips available are the Frozen Coca-Cola and the FANTA Banana! Yum! Both are delicious and perfect hot weather treats.
Enjoy your sips under breezy fans and surrounded by fresh greenery and shade! Perfect!
4. Get a Cool Mist!
The easiest and most fun way to cool off? Take advantage of the outdoor misters!
There are plenty of gentle misters throughout the park that offer a cool and gentle way to beat the heat while exploring the park. Simply walk through or hang out for a bit and enjoy an instant refresh!
Summer Heat
If you are visiting EPCOT this summer, remember to stay hydrated and take frequent breaks in the shade. Plan your day around those peak temperatures and don’t be afraid to leave the parks for an afternoon break and come back in the evening.
