So I just got back from WDW, spent 10 glorious days there, went to Animal Kingdom twice, got my FP+s for the River Journey and Flight of Passage, but OMG was that park the worst, specifically yesterday. Yes it was hot, yes it was humid, yes it's florida. We ended parking in Peacock 10, right by the sidewalk so we walked to the gate instead of the tram. By the time I got to the tapstiles my shirt was wet in more than one spot. By the end of my 1st visit there that day I was soaking wet, even my underwear were not immune. So we went back to the room, cooled down, changed and visited again once the sun went down as I never saw Rivers of Light or Pandora at night. By the time ROL was over and I made it back to the car a 2nd time my shirt was wet again (thankfully everything else was dry)
So I started wondering what could disney do to make things cooler in that park, they already have fans, some with misters, but clearly they don't have enough around the park. Maybe they could install some living plant tunnels (my local Six Flags had one before they tore it out to put in a ride and it was cooler to walk through, I know Six Flags St. Louis has one)
Then I thought why can't it rain in the park more often, just install something along the lines of those misters at the grocery stores in the produce department, place them up in the trees, or something that produces bigger drops of water. Play a thunderstorm sound before it goes off so people standing in the area know it's time to move or they are about to get a sprinkle
I'm not saying rain at every point in the park, or at least not all at once, but 1 section at a time the storm rolls through (much like the afternoon naturally occurring shower)
Then I thought well parts of the park are "Africa", its a desert there, it rarely rains, would it raining in Africa ruin the magic of being in Africa?
What idea can you think of that helps lower the temperature at Animal Kingdom?
