Are you going to plan a trip to Disney World in June? June is one of the busiest times of the year at Disney World, but for many people, it is the only time they are able to go. Wondering what you can expect in terms of crowds, events, and weather? We’ve got you covered.
Guide to Going to Disney World in June
Going to Disney World in June is a busy time of year. These are the things you should know before you go.
Crowds at Disney World in June
If you look at any of the Disney crowd calendars you will see that June is one of the busiest times of the year.
As soon as school gets out across the country, the parks begin to fill up with families.
The best time to go to Disney in June is the first week. After that, most schools in Florida and the rest of the East Coast slowly begin to get out.
Getting to the park when it opens is critical and even by doing that you can expect long lines and wait times for most rides & attractions.
You should consider using the Genie+ Lightning Lane system if you want to ride the most popular rides.
Disney World Events in June
Disney H2O Glow After Hours at Disney’s Typhoon Lagoon
This special event happens on select nights from May 25 to August 31, 2024.
Experience Disney’s Typhoon Lagoon water park while it is illuminated at night and with fewer crowds.
This special ticketed event limits the number of guests allowed after the park officially closes.
You will get to ride all your favorite water rides, swim in Typhoon Lagoon Surf Pool, and voyage along Castaway Creek while being entertained by a DJ.
There will even be a dance party at this three-hour event and stations to refuel with ice cream novelties, popcorn and select drinks.
Weather in Disney World in June
June is a pretty brutal month in terms of heat. You will find that while the temps might be in the low 90s, it will feel more like the high 90s.
And why is that? It is because of the humidity.
If you aren’t familiar with Florida humidity, it is when you feel like you are sweating when you are standing still. It’s sticky and at times, unbearable.
This is totally normal weather for Florida in the summer and you are going to have to do your best to stay hydrated and cool.
Thank goodness Disney is prepared with free cold water and misting fans that can be found throughout the Disney parks.
You will usually find that a short rainfall will occur in the afternoon which provides a little cooling, but eventually, the humidity reappears.
Don’t let this rain bother you.
It happens just about every day in the summer.
Add a Disney Waterpark to Your Vacation
One of the things you really should take advantage of when visiting Disney World in June is the waterparks.
Disney World has two and they are a great way to beat the summer heat.
Take a look at both Typhoon Lagoon and Blizzard Beach so that you can make an educated choice about which one is best for your family!
Planning a trip to Disney World this summer? You might not think that packing for summer is any different than packing for Spring, but the truth is that the summer is more hot & humid than any other time of the year. This Disney World summer packing list will make sure you are prepared for the unpredictable weather in Florida!
Disney World Packing List for June
When visiting Disney World in June, use this Disney Summer packing list:
1. Rain Poncho
Florida in the summer means that it will rain just about every day.
Typically, the rain hits in the afternoon and doesn’t last long, but nevertheless you will want to be prepared.
Bring an inexpensive Rain Poncho so you won’t have to buy one at the park!
2. Sunscreen
In order to make sure you don’t get sunburned on your vacation you will need to reapply sunscreen throughout the day.
I bring a sunscreen stick in my Disney day bag because it is easy to apply when you are on the go.
3. Misting Fans
These misting fans can be a real lifesaver on a hot day in the parks.
It is the perfect way to cool you off when you are in line for a ride or waiting for the parade to begin.
4. Small Travel Blanket
If you have to sit on the pavement to watch the parade, you will be glad to have a picnic-style blanket to place on the ground.
The black asphalt retains heat and you can easily burn your skin if you touch it.
Choose one that is also waterproof in case you have to lay it on wet pavement.
5. Sunglasses & Sunglass Strap
You won’t want to be without your sunglasses.
You will find yourself taking your glasses on & off quite a bit, so it might serve you to have a sunglass strap to keep them from being misplaced.
6. Insulated Water Bottle
Did you know that ice water is free at Disney counter service restaurants?
We like to bring our own lightweight, insulated bottles with us to the parks and refill them with ice water throughout the day.
7. Freezable insulated lunch bag
We often bring drinks & snacks to the park.
One of the best purchases you can make is for a Packit bag because they keep everything cold!
You just pop it in the freezer and it stays cold for hours!
8. Hair Ties & Brush
Girls with long hair are going to notice the hair sticking to the nape of their neck after the first hour in the park.
I always pack extra hair ties and a small travel hair brush to pull up our hair if we misjudge the Florida heat!
9. Cleansing Wipes
The heat can really take a toll on your skin.
You will find yourself sweating throughout the day and one thing that really helps you cool off are cleansing wipes.
These body wipes are great for the sweaty parts that need a little extra attention!
11. Chafing Stick
When it gets hot & sticky outside, your skin pays the price.
This means more skin irritation.
