25 Secrets Of Walt Disney World That You Didn't Know

3. It's Always Summer At The Forbidden Mountain

We can actually tell what time of year that Expedition Everest is set, and that is summer.

The reason we can see this is because of the waterfall that is cascading down the side of the Forbidden Mountain. The waterfall represents the melting ice on the mountain as temperatures warm up, which is between May and September.

This time frame works perfect for the ride too as these months are the best time of year for adventurers to attempt to climb the real Everest.
