10 Ways to Beat the Heat at Walt Disney World

Each time I tell someone we always plan our Walt Disney World trips to take place during the month of August, I'm always asked about the heat.

Good to Know: If your preference is to use the key to the world cards, they are still available, you just have to ask! So...what exactly are MagicBands? What …
