Can anyone help by letting me know which rides have lines that are in direct sunlight or which ones are inside/fully shaded? Are umbrellas allowed to be used for shade? I am photoallergic and can get sunburn very, very badly. I plan on wearing long sleeves when possible or have a scarf/shawl to help cover me up but I didn't think I was that sensitive until a few days ago, I got sunburn on my face...sitting in my vehicle, windows up, for about 15 minutes with the sun shining on my face. I live in a city in Canada where it has been -35 Celsius (-31F) for more than half the winter so I am happy to feel some warmth. I just didn't realize how sensitive I am. To add to everything, I have just today been put on medication for an unrelated illness that causes photo sensitivity, making it worse. Sunblock does (did) help but it seems my sensitivity is getting worse every year.

My family (dh & 4 kids) and I will be in FL on Sunday for 12 days so I am really watching the weather forecast. I really don't want my kids to miss out on anything or have to leave a line because I've broken out into a rash because of the sun. Any tips would be greatly appreciated.

I learned the hard way-it is not just the lines you have to worry about. Waiting to load/unload the race cars is often in the direct sun, Dumbo, Magic carpets-direct sun.

Parts of the line for the race cars, line Be Our Guest, daytime parade, Big Thunder Mountain, Space Mountain (when line extends out of building), outdoor dance parties, outdoor character meets, the stand by line for Nemo, Dino spin off the top of my head.
 
The Astro Orbiter line gets quite a bit of sun. Maelstrom can often go out the doorway during busy times. Part of Splash Mountain between two areas is outside. Ques for shows or parade viewing is not shaded very well either. I've seen all kinds of umbrellas in WDW. Everything from those cutesy frilly ones parasols to full on umbrellas.
 
Sometimes the line at Toy Story extends outside and I believe it is in the sun.
 

Thank you all for your help! This will help my family and I plan better and be a little more prepared. I think I have an idea as to which ones are totally in the sun so my dh can stand in line with the little one (eg. dumbo). If it gets too much, I can sit in the shade and wait while the family goes on rides.
