Cold rainy days next week

[FSU Girl]

Right now the forecast is looking awful for my trip. Wednesday and Thursday are showing rain and cold weather. I keep checking and it changes every time I look but it does look like it’ll be rain those days. Trying to determine which one will be worse. At the moment we are doing Magic Kingdom Wednesday and Thursday we are doing Animal Kingdom in the morning and going to Hollywood Studios in the afternoon and having lunch at Hollywood and Vine. Do you think I should keep it as is or swap them?

Magic Kingdom will be our second day there so I’d rather have that on the day that rains the most because we won’t mind not going or shortening the time in the park. Any insight from locals which day will be worse?

As a local, my experience is that weather changes a lot. The temperature is probably right plus or minus 5 degrees. But rain in Florida is really squirelly. If it were me, I'd stay with my plans, bring rain gear, and make my decision on the day. Local tv stations have pretty accurate radar within half a day.

This is the forecast for Bay Lake, FL for Wednesday and Thursday:



I wouldn’t lose sleep about a forecast calling for “a touch of rain,” and cold weather in Orlando is great. Much easier to just dress in layers and bundle up versus going in August when it’s 97…

Seriously, days int he 60’s in the parks are great, just bring layers. Don’t plan on swimming obviously…

We were at WDW a month ago, worst weather I've ever had on any trip there, hands down. Poured buckets during Jollywood, monsoon rains the next night while we were at MVMCP. We still had a blast...because we were prepared.

Ponchos and a good collapsible umbrella were our saviors. Be prepared with shoes that can get wet and still provide comfort, and make sure you pack an extra pair, and extra socks.

Honestly, crowds were even lower for us and wait times so short. I'd go again in a downpour without hesitation.

I'm local and the forecast for those days shows rain likely only during parts of the day. I'd just stick with your plans and make the best of it.

I'd call that chilly. Like toss on a hoodie chilly.

Cold is low 40s and below.
