What alternatives have you enjoyed on very rainy days during your visits?

Quick afternoon showers are always possible, particularly in the summer, and I do not consider those being anything to alter our plans.

When the rain really hits, going for most of the day or as a full blown storm lasting multiple days, what alternatives have you really enjoyed to keep it from ruining your precious Disney travel days?

December 2023, the rain was so bad our Jollywood Nights party for the evening was cancelled before noon! I actually went to see 2 movies that day When it is so hot in July that it makes me stay in the room, I will close the drapes, turn out the lights and watch movies all afternoon - that is something I rarely can do guilt-free at home.

Umbrella, poncho, and dry socks?! If the wet weather is going to last multiple days, we're probably getting wet!

I love to sit on the balcony with a snack and glass of wine taking in the sights, sounds, and smells of a southern summer storm. Then retreat in the ac to recover

We've had days where we were sloshing through ankle deep water but as long as we were prepared, the parks tend to empty out and we can still have a good time. Flip flops or quick dry shoes make all the difference. I also carry a ziplock with dry washcloths inside to dry off with whenever we go inside.

With that said, there have been a few times we spent most of the day in the rain and didn't feel like going out for dinner so we ordered pizza or Chinese takeout and had a very nice time relaxing in the room watching movies. If we're in a hotel with the rooms attached to the lobby, it's also nice to wander around and really take time to look at the decorations. Wilderness Lodge and Jambo have so many interesting things that we often just rush past. The community halls can be fun too. We made tie dyed shirts once, my daughter spent some time in one coloring another time.

We enjoyed going to Splitsville one afternoon. It was a fun way to avoid the rain one day and Pop guests get a discount using one of the on-site bonuses.
