I have several cooling towels that Caren bought me for my birthday our first year together. With working the track from March through November I get to spend many summer days out in the heat wearing long pants and boots. Thankfully short sleeve shirt and carry a fire resistant coat just in case, but the cooling towels are awesome and definitely help me manage the heat of the day. We are ordering a couple more for the trip to help keep us cool.
I am actually not over frozened personally, but I think Disney is trying to ride that pony for a little too long. However, Maelstrom needed a serious refurbishment or update and I think this one may be it. And its new, so like the mine train which is not my favorite as I prefer Big Thunder over it, I still went. I went on little mermaid too when it first opened. I been really excited about going to see Jungle Book and Animal Kingdom even having evening hours!!! But to get Reserved seating (similar to FP+) AND try a meal at Tiffins their newest restaurant in one shot, I am so in on that deal. It is my dinner out pick for the trip and at this point we have Chef Mickeys, California Grill (during the fireworks of course), Biergarten and Tiffins lined up for the trip. Caren still has not made her dinner pick yet, but once that is done plus two other nights we agree on something we are set for dinner. Our food costs will be controlled by lunch and breakfast at the RV which is fine by me (most of the time at least.)
Since the dogs will be down with me and the summer heat, I think it will work well for us to go back around noon-1 timeframe to relax, cool off, take care of pups, hit the pool, etc.
