Hydrate and snack
Carry a refillable water bottle and a small snack—two hours of walking in Orlando heat can deplete energy quickly.
Sun protection
Wear a wide-brim hat and SPF; sidewalks offer little shade during summer afternoons.
Comfortable footwear
Choose supportive, broken-in walking shoes—downtown pavement is flat but can be hard on feet.
Timing matters
Start in the morning or late afternoon to avoid peak heat and catch better light for photos.
