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.
