Did you advise him against going? A good friend would.

His wife is a teacher so summer is their only real option to go. He keeps saying he was able to handle the Texas heat in August last year so I'm wanting to see how well he does in Florida while walking 10 miles a day.

This advice.

You know its going to be hot as ****. And there are big crowds almost every day of the year. Prices are high for everything and lines are long. Just accept it as part of the deal going to Disney World.

One mistake people make about the heat is that they see temp highs of 92 or so and tell themselves, we have 92 degree days all the time in Missouri in the summer.

Which is true but 92 in Florida is way different due to the humidity. It feels like 100+ all summer. In Missouri getting in the shade lowers the heat "feel" tremendously. Florida it doesn't help much, That oppressive heat is just goes underneath that shade. Its better than being out in full sun but it aint much relief. Like the advice above, just know you will be hot, sweaty and sticky before you even get into the park. You can shower when you get back to the hotel and the air conditioning.

I'm confused by the 7 day thing, unless he's not staying on property. I was able to book 60 days in advance for my reservations, maybe they have their permissions geofenced to accommodate Americans first, but when I booked our early April vacation we went on at no point was there ever a 7 day booking timeframe. I was ready to go in February.

I wasn't talking about the weather, I'm talking about wasting a vacation in the nightmare that is Disneyworld.
