What to Pack and What to Wear to Walt Disney World in July
July in Orlando and Walt Disney World is hot and July 2024 is continuing with that trend.
It’s the first of the two hottest months of the year for a Walt Disney World vacation. However, we vacation at Walt Disney World every year at this time and while it’s hot, it’s still a good time to visit.
July 2024 Weather Forecast for Walt Disney World
The weather in July at Walt Disney World is usually hot, but not necessarily overly humid. For 2024, the forecast for July is looking fairly consistent over the course of the month. You can expect daytime highs in the range of 87˚F to 95˚F (30˚C to 35˚C), with nighttime lows in the range of 65˚F to 77˚F (18˚C to 25˚C). These temperatures do not include the humidity, which can make it feel hotter.
Heat, Rain and More to Consider When Packing for Walt Disney World
While the second half of the month may be slightly wetter, it’s very hard to accurately predict rain at Walt Disney World in the summer…other than to say the best defence is a good offence. This means that you should always consider that it will probably rain at some point in your trip, when you’re packing for a July Walt Disney World vacation. On top of the summer afternoon and early evening showers that can build due to the heat, there is also the potential for tropical storms and active weather to become part of the mix.
As always, we recommend that you check the weather with a local weather station in Orlando the day before you arrive at Walt Disney World. This will give you the best idea of the type of weather you may get during your stay and can help with any last-minute packing decisions.
In addition to the rain, heat can also be a factor for many Walt Disney World travelers in July. While much of North America has been sweltering under a heat dome already in 2024, Disney World in July is hot. However, this is often overblown by sensationalist articles and there are plenty of ways to keep your cool and find air conditioning. So be sure to give yourself and your family a break and take the time to cool off when the heat builds (including resort hotel pool time).
It's Florida. It’s July. It’s going to be hot. No need to overthink it or dramatize it. Just plan for it.
What to Pack for Walt Disney World in July
July at Walt Disney World means you need to pack your lightest and most quick-dry clothing items for everyone in your travel group. Be sure to avoid black or dark colored tops (t-shirts, tank tops, button shirts etc.) as dark colors attract the heat of the sun. You should pack white and lighter weight clothing, which reflect the sun, and also bring along a good supply of sunscreen (and even a travel size Gold Bond powder if you think you may need it).
T-Shirts, tank tops and loose-fitting button-up shirts are all good items for tops. Shorts (lightweight and quick dry) are a top pick as well. Skirts, sundresses and bicycle shorts are also good items to pack.
For the record, don’t forget to pack the swimwear (not that you likely would).
