Take time for a nap!

First things first, Florida is HOT. The hottest parts of the day? Around Lunchtime to early evening. Unless you are used to working outside 12-14 hours a day in the heat, do yourself a huge favor and take time for an afternoon nap. When my spouse and I go to Disney we generally get up and rope drop the park and hit it hard until lunch time. We take time for a sit down lunch then evaluate how we are feeling. If we are hot, tired, and/or cranky, we hop on a bus or call a Lyft to take us back to the resort for a nap (neither of us are big swimmers but this is also an option for those who are as its a good way to cool off) and to get away from the crowds for a couple hours. After we feel cool and rested (this could be an hour or two or 4) we grab a coffee or soda (and refill our waters) and head back to the parks and go until closing time. We have found that when we do this and take the time to rest, we feel much better and much more pleasant toward each other. We fought less, and we didn't wind up with the "Disney flu" that a lot of people talk about getting from running themselves ragged on their vacations. Remember you are on VACATION!! Enjoy it. If you aren't enjoying it because you are tired then what was the point?
