We are just back from 2 weeks in Orlando with Mickey Mouse and Harry Potter plus rain and thunder every day except the last two days. What other holiday do you carry around your phone checking the weather radar so you know when to go on an indoor ride or have your lunch? We had a great time but I only managed to do a proper swim 3 times whilst we were away due to the pool being too busy or not being able to go in because of the lightning.
Open water swimming was not a good move and the photos of the signs show you why

My Selkie bottle was brilliant and went with us everyday to the parks and kept the water ice cold despite the temperatures some days being 100 degrees. That is my daughter squinting in the sun.

So now it is back to water being maximum 19 at the most from the hotel pool which was about 27/28 degrees.
