Don't be afraid of a "chance of rain".

"Don't let those three little words scare you. In central Florida, most afternoons bring a chance of rain, but rarely for long. Plan a late lunch between 2:00 p.m. and 4:00 p.m. and chances are you'll never feel a drop."

Have it made in the shade.

"You can tell that, unlike a lot of waterparks that cram people in like sardines, Aquatica was built with comfort in mind. So don't be surprised how easy it can be to find a great spot under a shady tree in the heat of the afternoon. Temperatures reach their highest late in the day, so stake out a choice spot just after lunch before the mid-day peak and you're likely to get the pick of the park."
