Best Places to Escape the Rain in Disney World
You may have seen the recent news stories about the torrential downpours that Walt Disney World has experienced lately so we think it’s time you ought to know… It rains A LOT in Florida.
I know it’s quite a shock. If you don’t live there, you think of Florida as just the sunshine state so you expect perpetual sunshine.
The reality is that the sunshine is more like straight fire from the sky and that because of the tropical climate, it will rain about once a day in the summer months.
It’s important to know that Disney does not give out rain checks if it downpours during your vacation. It’s equally important to know that a little water will not ruin your vacation!
Pack your ponchos, umbrellas, and quick drying shoes and we will show you the best places to escape the rain in Walt Disney World!
Dining Reservations
A smart idea if you are planning a Disney vacation during the summer months is to anticipate bad weather by booking a dining reservation.
Typically, the rain storms come in between 3:00 – 5:00. You can expect to spend at least one hour at a table service restaurant, so this is a great way to avoid the weather!
