hello everyone! i'm planning to visit kerala this year in the month of july to witness mass blooming of neelakurinji flowers in munnar which happen once in 12 years but due to heavy monsoon, would it become difficult for me explore other places like kochi
hey tarun, there might be days when you won't be able to step out because of rain at all. you really have to be prepared for that. after all it will be the monsoon season.
nairobi, because of its high altitude, is cooler than the rest of kenya, which can be quite hot. especially in the evening nairobi can get a bit chilly, so you'll want to bring a light jacket or sweater. mombasa, which is right on the indian ocean, is distinctly warmer than nairobi and can be quite humid. kerala hi meghan! thank you for sending in your question to the walt disney world moms panel! crowd-wise, that is a good time to visit walt disney world as the crowds will tend to be low to medium. the weather will also be generally cooler than the summer, but it can still get very hot and humid. i hope this helps! please write back with more questions! hi tiffany, february is a great time to visit the disney parks, lighter crowds and wonderful climate makes for an even more magical experience! yes, all of the pools at disney are heated year-round to keep them at a comfortable temperature. my family has visited in february several times and always enjoy our afternoon pool time. have a magical vacation! mandy i have a few nearby. i like going to the lake, i'll drive over to cave city with my sister and check out mammoth cave and all the sites around, or red river gorge for camping. that's what's around me but if i want to drive a little extra me and my sister sometimes go down to gatlinburg. * however, the quality of the roads is a far cry from the silky smooth expressways that you’ll glide across in singapore. a poor road system combined with a growing middle class who own an increasing amount of vehicles per household can quickly lead to crushing congestion problems. as traffic slows to a crawl, it’s not just the commuters that suffer. the middle of may is a fine time to visit wdw. this is just before the summer rush, so the crowds will not be too crazy. the weather in may is hot, but probably not unbearably so. average highs are in the mid 80s (f) and average lows are in the mid 60s (f). bear in mind that these are just the averages and any particular year might be very different. i always check the website weather.com a few days before my trip just to make sure that nothing too odd is happening that i will have to pack differently for. while you should be able to wear shorts and t-shirts most of the time during your trip, i would make sure to also bring a sweater or light jacket because some of the restaurants in the resorts can be over-air-conditioned for my tastes. as far a how much time to allot for the parks... most people feel like they can experience what they want to in a day at the animal kingdom or disney's hollywood studios. also, a day is plenty of time to have fun at one of the water parks and downtown disney. epcot and the magic kingdom are another story. some people need two days at epcot depending on their interests. to me, epcot is really almost two separate parks. the future world side and the world showcase side have many activities available and very different feels to them. some people with small children might skip the world showcase altogether. or others who are big shoppers or eaters, might skip future world. i feel like to get the full epcot experience you need two days, but others disagree. almost everyone agrees that to experience the full magic kingdom without going crazy, you need two days. hi carrie! there are many great spots along the seven seas lagoon where you can view the magic kingdom castle. some guests enjoy just taking the resort monorail around at night seeing the lights and sights. others enjoy sitting on the polynesian resort beach to look across the water at the castle. when the park is open in the evening all guests can stand next to the castle and watch the colorful lights changing like magic. this happens nightly whether there is a special event party or not. it is truly a magical sight and a pixie dusted memory! hi christine, disney is such a wonderful place to spend your anniversary! it's really tough to say right now what the crowd levels will be like on any particular day in june. you'll often find though that if one park is crowded, they all are, so i think it should come down to which fireworks show you want to watch on your anniversary. personally, as much as i love illuminations, i would choose wishes. the theme is just so magical and the soundtrack makes me teary everytime i hear it. it's perfect to watch with your spouse. to make your evening extra special, you may want to make reservations for the tomorrowland terrace fireworks dessert party. this would give you a really nice location to watch wishes from and it's a great party. i hope this helps and that you have a wonderful vacation and a happy anniversary! kaylene hi melissa, the wishes fireworks cruise is absolutely the most magical thing we have experienced - you are going to love it! when our family last took this cruise, we did see the electric water pageant - twice! i highly recommend that you tell your captain beforehand that you would like to see it. as long as the weather is good, the electric water pageant is shown in front of several of the resorts on the seven seas lagoon: in front of the polynesian resort, the grand floridian, wilderness lodge, fort wilderness resort and the contemporary resort. your captain will know the times it is shown and where. although the focus of this cruise is really the fireworks over cinderella's castle, it was our experience that our captain graciously cruised us by the showing of the electric water pageant. melissa, have an absolutely magical evening!
