Lunch lines at school are replaced by lines at the popular theme parks as families begin their summer vacations. Temperatures will not reach their peak highs until July and August, but you'll definitely feel the summer heat even with the increasing frequency of afternoon showers. A great way to beat the heat is at one of Florida's water parks!

Disney World's Gay Days are held the first weekend of June. If you have an issue with observing openly gay couples holding hands or kissing in public, then it is best to avoid the parks.

June Weather

Thunderstorms are frequent in the summer, but are usually short lived and help to cool temperatures. If you're at Disney World, break out a poncho or umbrella for summer's showers and enjoy some rainy day magic. If they hang around too long, try one of these things to do when it rains in Florida. It's important to note though that lightning is a serious risk, particularly in Central Florida.

Also, the Atlantic Hurricane Season runs from June 1 through November 30. There is usually very little tropical activity in June. It is important to know how to protect your family and your vacation experience if a storm threatens with these tips for traveling during hurricane season.
