Disney in the rain :(

[bbrown1226]

So, the weather says rain every day for our trip coming up Sun-Wed. I am really bummed. We have had non-stop rain for the past almost 2 weeks here in Germany, so I was hoping to get a break already!

So, for those who experienced Disney/Paris in the rain, how bad was it? We had better weather in November!

Well, heavy rain tends to make the parks quieter (although it makes the cafes and counter-service restaurants busier, as folk shelter there).
I've had a couple of days of persistent rain at DLRP, always in May or June funnily enough. Light to medium rain makes no difference at all to us to be honest, we just put our hoods up and get on with it.

In a real downpour, we tend to go to the studios, as there are more indoor rides/shows etc there.

Heavy rain may close the Storyboat ride, and thats about all I can think of that gets closed in very wet weather.

Even though it says rain each day on the forecast, doesnt' mean its going to rain all day - you may only get a little shower, then clear skies.

Usually going in February and March we have experienced many a time at Disneyland in the rain; I think as long as you are prepared for it with Macs (and possibly wellies) it doesnt spoil it. Most of the queues are under cover and you can use the covered walkway between Mainstreet and Adventureland.

And besides its Disney - you never know what Disney magic will happen

Don't let the rain affect your trip! It nearly always rains when we are at DLRP...just put your rain mac on and make the best of it.

Rain = quiet parks so there is a plus...as Elaine says head to the Studio's if you are in persistant heavy rain

Most of all enjoy your trip!

Maybe we will both have the parks to ourselves!!!

I think we just got spoiled with fabulous whether in November! It is Europe, so we will just have to deal! Do they close alot of rides down if it rains/sprinkles? I understand if it is downpouring, which looks like might happen on Monday, but not all day.

We are considering leaving a day earlier, Saturday, to try to catch the end of the nice weather, though we will be in Paris. We were going to come Sunday to go to Paris, but Sunday night calls for thunderstorms. So, I think we will have Saturday/saturday night/Sunday morning to enjoy Paris, and then hope for the best for the rest of our time at Disney! I need to go buy my girls rainboots....

DLRP doesn't close anything down in rain, unless its really heavy, in which case I've only seen the Storyboats closed. This opens again when the rain stops .

We're going at the same time - hello!! We've done DLP in every type of weather - it was -14 when we went in January so at least it'll be a bit warmer if wetter this time. I'd recommend you take a good waterproof jacket for everyone, spare trousers, socks and a spare pair of shoes. Don't think it really matters what the weather's like as you'll be at the best place in the world and I can assure you nearly everyone will have a smile on their face.

Try to ignore the rain. Most people wont and stay away so that should mean a lot of rides should be virtual walk-ons!

Imagine repeat rides of Buzz without the queue or getting on Thunder Mountain without the usual hour long wait.

Just be sure to occasionally dive in to shelter and bring rainware.

Hi,

We have been there in heavy rain and snow. As others said it's quieter when raining, but it doesn't stop us. Macs and wellies is the way to go.

I always use www.accuweather.com when checking forecasts. It even gives hour by hour forecasts. Like other long range forecasts, it can change from day to day, but the most accurate is checking a day or 2 days before you travel.

We had a communion recently and it was spot on, even down to the 40% chance of rain between 9 and 10am. It rained for almost a half hour in that hour!!!
