Rain and rides?

[millie0312]

Hi everyone,
I know there has been a lot of talk of rain and rides, but after reading lots of those posts I have one question for my trip this weekend, so try to bare with me lol so... I am planning on doing my second day of Disneyland on Monday, which looks like it may rain either all day or the afternoon at least. I am traveling with a baby (who I'd like to keep fairly dry) and this will be our second day at Disneyland so we will hopefully have covered all the must have big rides the first day. We have one park per day passes. Any ideas other than shows of what is indoor (it's our first trip so I'm not familiar with what is an all indoor ride and what is mixed or outdoor for the most part) or will for sure not close with rain that I can put into our schedule? I read about some that close first but not what would for sure remain open or be ideal for a rainy time. Thanks!

Awesome- thanks! Just making sure I plan well so we can stay semi-dry and not be disappointed by ride closures because they are outside

It is worth noting that while many rides themselves are completely indoors, the queues may not all be indoors. Actually, very few rides at DLR have entirely indoor or covered queues. If it's raining enough, the lines may be short enough that they're mostly in the indoor segment of the queue, but it is something to keep in mind.

Most of the DLR attractions are indoor, so as long as you bring your umbrellas, you should be fine. Another good thing is that most disneyland visitors (70%) are locals with APs, who completely avoid the parks when there is even a slight chance of rain. This factor should decrease your wait times dramatically. Keep in mind that the day after a rainstorm is oftentimes even busier, as the locals who avoided the parks are now coming in for their "make-up" visit. Good luck and have fun!
