So I'm 3 days from leaving and I check the 10-day forecast for WDW. Wouldn't you know it, rain and/or thunderstorms predicted for everyday of my trip. I've never been to WDW that it didn't rain on me some, but not EVERYDAY! I know most of the time it is just an afternoon shower, but the week before has been total sunny conditions. Oh well, we'll have fun anyway. Anyone else ever had rain everyday of your trip?
 
They're only showing a 30% chance of rain. That's a 70% chance of no rain. The forecast also is for showers and isolated thunderstorms, not rain and not all day by any stretch. More likely a short shower maybe a couple of days, but not everyday necessarily.
 
Oh, I understand its Florida. There's a reason it is so green. I just want a really nice trip for my cousin. It is her very first trip ever to the world. Like as much as possible to be perfect. We'll have a blast no matter what the weather.
 
When we went last March it said it would rain 5 out of 8 days we were there. It rained one full day and one half day. On the half day, we had a great day at AK because it was empty and the animals were all over the place on the safari.

DOn't fret - it will likely not be as bad as the forecast says. And it may only rain in the evening or morning.
 

Every time we have went in Sept the 10 day forcast shows rain everday. Anywhere from 30-70% chance. Maybe we have just been lucky but last year it rained one night for a few hours and one afternoon for under 10 minutes. In 02, forecast showed rain the whole time and we didn't see a drop.

:wizard: Wishing you some of our good luck with rain!

You understand it's Florida. I didn't say that it was or wasn't? :confused3
 
I was just there from Oct 13-24. Almost everyday the Weather Channel showed the dark clouds on our dates, even when we were actually there. Although it did rain for very brief times on three days, the rest was rain free. Stop looking at the forecast and enjoy a stress free anticaption.

We fly to the World this Wednesday. We checked out the weather. I dont mind the rain... I just dont want hours of it. hahaha. But some blistering sun without a cloud in sight dont sound much better. :sunny: This will be my lil sisters first time to WDW, and my second. So Im wishing us good weather! Maybe it will sprinkle while your on an inside ride and you'll "miss it all together" haha. Oh well, Wishing us all a great vacation!
 
When I went in May, I checked the 10-day forcast every day for a week before we went. The weather changed every day that I checked it. Not sure that the weatherfolks can always predict with any true accuracy :confused3
 
At least you will have warmer temperatures. My husband and I have been here in Orlando since Oct 24th and it's finally getting warmer after dealing with the hurricane and the unseasonably cool and windy weather and we're leaving in two days. It figures!

We did Discovery Cove yesterday and froze our butts off as it was cooler and cloudy. Today it's sunnier and warmer, but what can you do? It's just a chance you take. Hope you have a great trip!
