When you encounter a rainy day when visiting Disney World, how
do you get the most of your day and not let the rain spoil your
fun? Any suggestions for rainy day activities or parks to visit
at Disney World?
Answers posted to the list:
if it's a gentle rain and no lightning, we go to Typhoon Lagoon.
You don't even know it's raining, you're wet already, and there's
hardly anyone there...

Shopping, movie, dinner or relax at the resort.

Hit the rides. Nothing clears out a park like a rain storm. The
harder it rains, the shorter the lines. If its warm and no lightning,
another favorite is a water park. Already being wet, who cares about
rain!

Unless its an all day monsoon we put on our disney panchos and
keep right on having fun! If it's a monsoon we kick back and relax
at our resort.

On a rainy day I like to go to Epcot - lots of things to do "inside"
there (inside an attraction, a restaurant, etc) Another fun thing
I like to do in the rain is the Safari ride at the Animal Kingdom.
I did this once in a big rainstorm and it reminded me of a scene
from Jurassic Park! (without the dinosaurs of course!) It was fun
driving through the mud on the safari - kind of gave the ride a
more rugged feel.

Last time we hit a rainy day, we went over to Disney Quest and
got addicted to Pirates. Left for our dinner PS (at Boma, I think)
and came back afterwards to continue blasting pirates until about
10:30 or so. I suspect we will make that our regular rainy day activity!

When I went in Dec of 2002, I had a couple of days that did rain,
one day rain lightly all day. That particular day I went to Animal
Kingdom, and I really enjoyed it, cause the animals seem to like
it, most any ways lol. Also the Fast Pass line for Kali River was
at 0, so was able to get on with no problem, they ride cast members
were even letting people stay on for more than one ride! Lots of
yellow ducks (ponchos), which I was one. I was already pretty wet
when I got on the Kali ride so thought cant get any wetter...yea...sure...lol.
I am not sure, but that may have been the day when I went back to
the room, around 2pm, and took a nice warm bath, and then took a
nice nap, then got up and headed to Downtown Disney, and spent the
evening at the Adventures Club...Kungaloosh!

It rains nearly every day when we're at WDW, since we're always
there in August. We're play-it-by-ear kinda folks, so we just go
wherever we feel like going and do whatever's available to do. Of
course attractions with indoor queues are more attractive than standing
out in a downpour for an extended period. If it seems to be an all-day
sort of rain, DisneyQuest or the movie theater at DTD is good choice.
Last week we were there during Charley, and I can't say it had much
of an impact on our trip. Friday was our last full day there and
the parks closed at 1:00 p.m. We had enough time to go to MK and
hit our favorite rides, then just rode out the storm back in our
villa at OKW.
