The past several days have been warm at Walt Disney World. This may be why summer is the cheapest time to visit Walt Disney World.

The National Weather Service issued a heat advisory affecting Walt Disney World several days last week.

That being said, this may be the worst time to learn that your Walt Disney World Resort is suffering from an air conditioning outage. You can see how Disney compensated Guests HERE.

Wilderness Lodge AC Update

Starting on the afternoon of Thursday, June 18, 2026, Wilderness Lodge Guests began to share on social media that the air conditioning was out in the dining locations, common areas, and even resort rooms.

This continued throughout Friday, June 19, 2026. Thankfully, on Saturday, we heard reports from Disney Guests that the air conditioning was working at select locations. Unfortunately, several Guests were still without air conditioning.

Disney also paused dining reservations at both Whispering Canyon Cafe and Storybook Dining.
