Rainy Day Options
- Continue with your regular plans: Most Florida showers are brief and manageable. Acquire a poncho for each family member, and remain in the theme park for the day. Indoor attractions will likely still be open, allowing you to enjoy the park without worry.
- Explore your resort: Each Disney World resort is equipped with fun recreational activities. Deluxe resorts, like the Animal Kingdom Lodge, provide enough entertainment to keep you engaged for an entire day. Check activity schedules or consult an on-site cast member for indoor activity ideas.
- Hit the Magic Kingdom or Future World: Both the Magic Kingdom and Future World in Epcot are ideal locations during rainy days. The attractions are close together, minimizing walking in the rain. These areas feature numerous indoor attractions to keep you dry and entertained.
- Take a nap: Schedule some downtime at your resort if clouds loom on the horizon. Disney resort rooms have blackout curtains and temperature control, making it a perfect place for a quick nap while waiting for the rain to stop.
- Plan to see a water park: Surprisingly, a visit to a water park may still be possible. After early morning rain, you can head to Typhoon Lagoon or Blizzard Beach. The clearing weather often makes these parks quieter and more enjoyable.
- Visit Disney Quest: Disney Quest, Disney World’s indoor amusement park, caters to older kids and teens. It is an excellent choice when outside activities are hindered by bad weather.
- Take a ride on the monorail: Utilize rainy days to explore Disney’s monorail resorts. You can shop at the Grand Floridian, dine at the Polynesian, and enjoy an arcade at the Contemporary. Whenever the rain subsides, you’ll be close to Magic Kingdom and Epcot.
- Visit the spa: If rain is in the forecast, consider booking a massage or spa treatment. Planning a pampering session during rainy periods allows you to enjoy the spa while not missing out on other entertainment options.
If the forecast suggests rain throughout the day and you’re eager to explore Florida’s other attractions, don’t hesitate to discover various indoor venues available in the area.
