I arrived during Sunday night's thunderstorm and it's been raining every afternoon. The thunderstorms have been over some of the parks and lightning has caused some characters in outdoor venues to be sent backstage for safety reasons.
Expect very humid conditions with downpours in the afternoons. If CMs get pulled from outdoor locations, take cover too!
Folks, I live 2 miles from WDW. The weather for the past month or so has had rain in the forecast practically every day. In that time its actually rained twice.
My dad lives there and says it is unusually hot & humid for this time...however as other posters have said the weather changes like the visitors in the world....minute by minute. Don't count on the forecast, just have your ponchos ready and stick to your plans!
We arrived on Tuesday and I have found the weather to be quite warm so it makes me feel better to know that locals are saying it is unusually hot and humid. We were here last year at the end of May and this feels the same or hotter to me. There was some rain last night around 6-ish...we were waiting for our table at Beaches and Cream when they closed Stormalong Bay due to threatening weather. They must have reopened the pools though because we saw people swimming at the Grand Floridian on our way back from Epcot. But when we got to our resort (the Contemporary), the pool was closed. There is more rain/thunderstorms forecasted for the same time today but we will see!
Can anybody in the area give us a weather update for last night and today? I leave on Friday, and I'm only going to have 2 days in the parks, and both are calling for thunderstorms at this point. I'm super nervous.
Yes, be prepared. Character Palooza's last two sets were canceled on Thursday in DHS. Fantasmic crowd endured a downpour when Steamboat Willie and the characters entered that night.
We were surprised at how hot and humid it was for April. We usually go in September, so it wasn't brutal to us, just a surprise. I'm just really glad I had my spray fan.
We were at MK on Friday morning and early afternoon and didn't get any rain. But when we got back to the BC we could tell that it had rained there. We've only had some light rain Thursday night. It looks like our luck might run out tonight, though.
Today it was dry when we entered the line for Tower of Terror...during the drops we could see heavy rain..when we walked off the ride it had stopped an that was the only rain we saw all day. Otherwise mostly sunny and very hot
