Weather next week May 1-5

[ottawamom]

Not having been to Disneyland before how worried should I be about the rain forecast for next week. Is it likely to be the odd shower or a steady several hours of rain. I'll plan outdoor rides for earlier in the week and do mostly indoor rides on Wednesday and Thursday. Will the cooler/rainy weather keep the crowds down?

Local input welcome and much needed.

Wondering this as well! I keep hoping the forecasted temps will creep a bit higher

t will be cool and a bit rainy, but not enough to chase most people away.

I'll take the shorts out of the suitcase and put some capris in instead. Thank you.

It’s hard to say as we’ve had unusually heavy rainfall this winter. Forecast is generally not terribly reliable until a day or two before.

I see 40% chance on Wed evening and Thursday morning. I wouldn't worry too much about that. Bring layers - maybe a water proof windbreaker. Use sunscreen regardless of whether it is overcast or not.

 

[ottawamom]

Great advice, thanks.

Not worried. I did change out shorts for jeans and added sweatshirts, raincoat and umbrella.
Good thing about driving, I can take as much as I want

Hmm...my intuition tells me we will see these showers overnight/early morning hours, most likely. It will be cloudy and sort of drizzly. You'll wake up and the ground will be wet but it shouldn't really impact your day.

If I had park reservations for midweek, I'd keep them. This doesn't appear to be a big rainstorm. Just typical May gray/June gloom type drizzly weather. Very common this time of year.

Pack layers.

It's the same temp here today as is forecasted for next week's high temperatures. I'm outside checking to decide what will work. That's the problem with coming off winter and going on holiday. I don't remember exactly what I need to wear at what temperature.

Anything above freezing will be welcome.

If I understand from your username you are in Ottawa. As a SoCal girl who recently moved back home from toronto I can tell you that while I am still freezing in the mornings and evenings, my Canadian hubby and boys are running around in shorts and a tee shirt, even in the rain. It just is not as cold by a long shot, even if the temp is the same. That said, layers are the name of the game!

We're heading there tomorrow and have packed a wide range of clothing choices lol. Jeans/leggings/long sleeved/short sleeved/heavy winter coat/sweatshirt/UGG shearling lined boots/sandals/running shoes. It's warm during the day but as soon as the sun goes down it gets too cold/miserable for us to not be layered up.

We're lucky United lets us bring 2 checked each/go up to 70lbs otherwise we'd be in trouble.

This is the way.

Star Wars Nites are on the 2nd and 4th, so I expect those days will be quite busy. I’m going on the 4th, so hope any rain is limited to the morning.

Safe travels!

Thank you!

We went today and it was quite warm. Most people were in shorts and t-shirts or tank tops. Lines for ice cream and frozen treats were really long.

It's not gonna last though. It's going to cool significantly by Monday.

We are here now and at almost 6pm, I'm *almost* ready for my hoodie.

Any day at Disney will be great!!! Don’t let anything rain on your pixie dust!! You will have a great time, great photos and wonderful memories!! May the force be with you!

I can’t believe the weather forecast for next week. I’m in San Clemente and we get down into the 40s for lows a couple of nights.

Layers are your friend here, and bring a jacket. If it’s windy, 60s and 50s will feel very cold in Anaheim.
