The heat right now in Disney World and Orlando as a whole is no joke, and it takes work to make sure you don’t get dehydrated or end up in the sun too long. It’s amazing how quick the heat can ruin your Disney World vacation, so it’s imperative to find spots to beat the heat.

Finding places to cool off is essential!

We’re in the parks nearly every single day during all seasons of the year, so yes, we’d like to say that we’ve become experts on finding places to cool off. Over in EPCOT, when you’re walking around World Showcase and need a break in the AC without a ton of people crowding around you, this is one spot you’ll want to head to!

Over in the Japan Pavilion, you can head into the Bijutsu-kan Gallery to not only find an incredible exhibit dedicated to Kawaii and its importance to Japanese culture, but for AC that is absolutely CRANKING.

This is actually one of the few spots in Disney World that we would describe as freezing, even on the hottest summer days, because the AC in here really is turned on to an all-time high. Because it’s also a museum-style layout, it’s usually very quiet inside, and there are usually fewer than 10 people wandering around. Paired with the fact that there’s also seating to enjoy, it truly is a must-stop to recharge.

It’s also just a great exhibit!

Plus, it also gives you a super fun exhibit to experience while you take your break. We personally love learning new things in Disney World, especially in EPCOT when it’s about other countries, and this exhibit is a great way to do just that.

You can learn a lot in here!

If you’re not near the Japan Pavilion but you’re looking for other places to cool off in EPCOT, we also recommend CommuniCore Hall, especially when there’s not a festival going on, as it’s usually pretty empty, and the entirety of The American Adventure, both the building itself and the actual show.
