LO screams after bath

The last 3-4 times I have given LO a bath, he has screamed to the point of basically losing his breath. Not during the actual bath, he seems to really love it and being in the water. As soon as I am done, I wrap him in a hooded towel and take him to get a diaper and clothes on. I always make sure no ceiling fan is on and I keep him covered with the towel as much as possible. He is always fine until I lay him down to start the getting dressed process. He cries so hard, and he is almost impossible to settle down.
He is normally a very happy baby who rarely cries and overall seems to like his baths, but I am starting to dread them b/c of how much he absolutely freaks out. Does anyone have an idea of why this is happening? The only obvious thing I could think of was that he was cold but I take all proper steps to make sure it isn't.

ETA: What I meant is the Disney towels seemed thicker.

Happy Endings
- letting the bathroom steam up
- drying off on my lap with her sitting on the towel with her back snuggled into my chest
- distracting her with toys while getting dressed
- doing lotion/getting dressed on our bed with cuddle breaks and time for her to roll around/explore
- the hairdryer on the lowest heat setting
- wrapping her up tight in the towel, then getting the wet towel off her quickly once she's dry
- really steady stream of conversation gives her something else to focus on
- and if all else failed, I let her nurse for a couple minutes still in her towel in the bathroom, to help condition her to associate positive things with getting out of the bath
Can you tell we've tried a few things? Good luck -- it's so sad to see them go from happiest to inconsolable.
