What Happens if it rains?

late Sept-early Oct 2006

I was interested in going to the first night of MNSSHP and was wondering...I know rain is quite common during that time period so do they still have parade/fireworks during the rain?

Parade would depend on how hard it is raining, they will still run it if it is a light drizzle however, even the slightest rain will cancel the Headless Horseman for safety reasons. As far as fireworks, it generally takes a monsoon for them to be canceled.

We have gone to WDW in the summer months, very rainy at times -- and have almost always seen fireworks in the rain. I think the concern for the fireworks and other pyro shows is usually the lightning rather than the rain. Same with certain rides.

Even then, we once saw Illuminations in a torrential downpour WITH lightning that started up once the show was underway. Our kids thought the lightning was part of the show!

That was my first thought too, but...

As CDS stated at MNSSHP they will only cancel the parade if it is a significant amount of rain, although the Headless Horseman will be canceled if there is any chance it will rain during his run. Fireworks generally go off either way.
