Don't Let the Rain Spoil Your Disney World Trip!

Rain is a common occurrence in Florida, especially during the summer months. But don't worry, a little rain doesn't have to ruin your magical Disney World vacation! Here's how to make the most of it:

• Embrace the Indoor Attractions: Disney World has tons of fantastic indoor attractions! Use the rain as an opportunity to experience these. Some popular choices include:

  • Rides: Pirates of the Caribbean, Haunted Mansion, "it's a small world", Spaceship Earth, Test Track (single rider line often moves quickly), and many more! Look for rides with covered queues or entirely indoor experiences.
  • Shows: Festival of the Lion King, Finding Nemo: The Big Blue… and Beyond!, Beauty and the Beast – Live on Stage, and various theater shows offer a dry and entertaining escape.
  • Museums and Exhibits: Spaceship Earth (while a ride, it's also educational!), the American Adventure Pavilion, and various exhibits throughout Epcot World Showcase provide a chance to learn and stay dry.
  • Shopping: Head to World of Disney at Disney Springs or explore the many shops in the park pavilions to browse souvenirs and gifts while staying out of the rain.

• Utilize the My Disney Experience App: Check ride wait times and show schedules in real-time. This will help you quickly identify indoor options with shorter waits and plan your route efficiently. Also, you can check for modified park hours or any weather-related announcements.

• Pack Appropriately:

  • Ponchos or Rain Jackets: Essential for staying dry. Ponchos are generally more affordable, while rain jackets offer more breathability.
  • Waterproof Shoes: Avoid sandals that can become slippery. Shoes that dry quickly are also a good idea.
  • Umbrella: Can be helpful, but can also be cumbersome in crowded areas.
  • Ziploc Bags: Protect electronics and other valuables from getting wet.

• Take Advantage of Character Meet-and-Greets: Many character meet-and-greet locations are indoors or under covered areas. Check the My Disney Experience app for character locations and times.

• Grab a Bite to Eat: Many restaurants at Disney World offer indoor seating. Use the rain as an opportunity to enjoy a delicious meal or snack. Make reservations in advance, especially for popular restaurants.

• Remember that Rain Often Passes Quickly: Florida rainstorms are often brief. If the rain is heavy, find a covered area and wait it out. You'll likely be back to enjoying the parks in no time.

• Consider a Mid-Day Break: If the rain is persistent, consider returning to your hotel for a break. This can give you a chance to dry off, relax, and recharge before heading back to the parks.

• Check for Parades and Fireworks Updates: Rain can sometimes affect the schedule of outdoor parades and fireworks shows. Check the My Disney Experience app for updates. Sometimes parades will be changed into a shorter cavalcade.

• Be Flexible: The key to enjoying Disney World in the rain is to be flexible with your plans and have a positive attitude!
