Summer is here, and that means summer storms are coming soon! Sprinkles and showers are one of my favorite types of weather for many reasons. For instance, rainy days at Disney can be a magical experience if you know how to make the most of them! While Florida’s weather can be unpredictable, there’s no need to let a little rain dampen your spirits. Here are some enchanting activities to enjoy at Disney when the skies give you a break from the heat.
Brave the Rain and Enjoy Shorter Lines
For those who don’t mind getting a little wet, rainy days offer a unique advantage: shorter lines. As many guests tend to leave the parks when it starts to rain, you’ll find that the wait times for most attractions significantly decrease. Don your poncho, grab an umbrella, and take advantage of the reduced crowds to experience more rides and attractions with minimal wait times. Outdoor attractions might temporarily close during heavy rain, but they often reopen quickly once the weather improves.
Indoor Attractions
One of the best ways to stay dry and still have a blast is by exploring Disney’s indoor attractions. From thrilling rides like Space Mountain to immersive experiences like Mickey’s PhilharMagic, there’s no shortage of excitement to be found indoors.
Character Meet and Greets
Take shelter from the rain while meeting your favorite Disney characters indoors. Many character meet and greet locations are covered, allowing you to stay dry while making magical memories with beloved characters like Mickey, Minnie, and Cinderella.
Indoor Shows and Performances
Sit back, relax, and enjoy one of Disney’s captivating indoor shows. From Broadway-style musicals to 3D movie experiences, there’s something for everyone to enjoy while staying cozy indoors.
Shopping
Turn a rainy day into a shopping spree at Disney’s various retail locations. Explore themed shops and boutiques to find unique souvenirs, stylish apparel, and one-of-a-kind Disney merchandise to remember your rainy day adventure. A trip to Disney Springs is a great idea for a day with showers.
Dining Experiences
Indulge in delicious cuisine and escape the rain at one of Disney’s many dining establishments. Whether you’re craving a quick bite or a gourmet meal, there’s a wide range of dining options to satisfy your appetite and keep you dry as you snack.
Resort Activities
If the rain becomes too heavy to explore the parks, retreat to your Disney resort and take advantage of the many indoor activities available. From arcade games to poolside lounging, there’s plenty to keep you entertained without braving the storm. Even try resort hopping and explore the wide range of resorts Disney has to offer.
Rain at Disney doesn’t mean the end of the fun; it just means a shift in how you enjoy the magic. Whatever you choose, there’s always a way to make the most of your day. So, grab your rain gear and embrace the many opportunities that a rainy day at Disney can bring.
