Whether Disneyland is "too hot" in the summer depends largely on your personal tolerance, but temperatures in Anaheim frequently reach between 30∘C and 35∘C (85°F to 95°F) during July and August. Unlike the humid, tropical heat of Florida's Disney World, Southern California experiences a "dry heat," which many find more tolerable. However, the abundance of asphalt and concrete in the parks creates a "heat island" effect that can make it feel significantly hotter. To survive a summer visit, "rope dropping" (arriving at opening) and leaving by noon is a common strategy. You can spend the hottest part of the afternoon (2:00 PM to 5:00 PM) at your hotel pool or in air-conditioned indoor attractions like "Great Moments with Mr. Lincoln" or "it's a small world." Disney also provides "cooling zones" and misting fans, and every quick-service location offers free cups of ice water upon request. While the heat is a factor, the lack of daily summer thunderstorms (which are common in Florida) means your day is less likely to be interrupted by rain, though you should be diligent with high-SPF sunscreen and frequent hydration to avoid heat exhaustion.
