Disney in the Rain

[GucciGirl]

We are leaving for DIsney WOrld tomorrow night for the weekend. I looked at the forcast and it calls for tunderstorms on Friday and Saturday. I bought two day tickets for two of my kids (baby is free) and myself. What two parks are ok for rainy weather. I was thinking Epcot because most stuff is indoors.

Most rides are in door at MK and MGM. I think Epcot has lots of outside stuff.

But I'd do any park in the rain!

We were at Epcot one night in the rain, and it's a tough park to stay dry in. It's a fair distance from each indoor spot to the next, and in the world showcase you're walking in and out of each small store or restaurant, and have to walk a bit to the next one. I would definitely recommend MK, because everything is so close together and inside. I'm not as familiar with MGM, but I would DEFINITELY rule out AK if you want to stay dry - it's the most spread out and the most outdoors, for obvious reasons.

Weather.com is showing 40% chance of rain on Saturday and 30% on Sunday, which probably means that you MAY get a brief storm.

Wunderground.com is showing 30% friday and 30% saturday, with 10% on Sunday.

IF it rains, it will clear the parks and you will have them all to yourself - put on a poncho and enjoy.

Bring your ponco and any of the parks are fine.

Rainy days can be the best! Bring, or buy, a poncho and enjoy the smaller crowds. We've had some of our best times at Disney in the rain.

Rain is good for Animal Kingdom (at least in warmer weather) -- really perks up the animals! Plus there's substantial tree cover (except in the carnival area)

From all that I've read and heard here, go. Get you a rain poncho and enjoy yourself!

The great thing about central FL is that it rarely rains for hours at a time. You're more likely to get 15-30 minutes of rain before it clears up. I'd say, go to the parks you're the most interested in! There are plenty of indoor activities in all of the parks. To save some cash, get cheap ponchos at Walmart or Target and you'll be fine
We've had some great rainy days in the parks!
