Disney World can get disgustingly hot.
And as a hardcore sweater, I always find myself running from air conditioned location to air conditioned location in order to escape the brutal heat and humidity.
So if you’re like me and you want to escape the and cool down in some beautiful AC, I got you covered with this comprehensive listing of every air conditioned location inside all four Disney World Parks.
Where to find AC at Disney World 🥵
Before we get started, I just want to mention that you can find air conditioning inside every Disney World park bathroom, so I won’t go into detail listing all of them. The same goes with all stores and merchandise locations, which are always air conditioned.
Also, a majority of these rides have an outdoor queue.
With that said, here’s where you can cool down at Disney World:

Tips to Stay Cool at Disney World
Here are my favorite ways to stay cool a Disney World and beat the heat:
- Bring a handheld, battery powered fan
- Use one of those Disney misting fans
- Wrap a cooling towel around your neck
- Knock out all of the indoor attractions during the hottest part of the day
- Ride wet attractions like Tiana’s Bayou Adventure and Kali River Rapids.
- Take frequent breaks in one of these indoor spots, preferably a show or indoor Quick Service restaurant.
- Pack for the heat (sunglasses, hat, lightweight and quick-drying clothes)
- Visit wet zones around the park (Adventureland Liki Tikis and Casey Jr. Splash ‘N’ Soak Station at Magic Kingdom; Epcot Splash Pads and Test Track Cool Wash; Tamu Tamu Misters at Animal Kingdom)
- Go to Disney’s Typhoon Lagoon or Blizzard Beach Water Park
- Stay hydrated.
- Eat cold snacks like Mickey Ice Cream bars or Dole Whips!
- Break up your park day with some pool time.
Hope this helps you cool down!
When the Florida sun has you feeling like a melted Mickey Bar, these air-conditioned safe havens at Disney World will keep you cool and happy.
Thanks for reading and I hope that this Disney World AC guide will help all of my sweaty friends! 😅
