food IS a theme park
If you’ve been to Disney World even once, you probably know that rain can literally happen at any given moment.
Rainy day at EPCOT
The weather can completely disrupt your day, close down rides, and probably leave you soaked and miserable by the end of the day (although we DO have some tips to prepare for the weather). But what if there is a good side to the rain? What if you could score a HUGE discount, but ONLY when it rains in Disney World?Â
Ever had a vacation with friends or family totally RUINED by rain and bad weather?
Rain, Rain, Go Away
You know the feeling — your socks are totally soaked and squishy from the water they’ve absorbed (yay), your umbrella is a useless stick that’s been blown askew by the wind (awesome), and the outdoor activities you had hoped to try are canceled (joy). If you experienced a trip like that and left it feeling defeated, frustrated, and wishing you could have gotten your money back, we have something you need to know about.
Summer is almost here and that means more people will be headed to Disney World.

Big holiday weekends like Memorial Day, July 4th, and Labor Day, are popular at Disney World. If you are planning a visit during one of these weekends, you’ll want to be sure you come prepared. A lot has changed over the past few years between Genie+, Mobile Ordering and Park Reservations!
One thing you can never predict in Orlando is the weather.
Orlando International Airport
We’ve seen it all. From hurricane-force winds to random thunderstorms to flooding. All of these situations could affect everything from your flight to rides in Disney World. Well, today, a weather event is creating problems at Orlando International Airport, so we want to make you aware of it.
It seems like those April showers are coming in full force to the Orlando area. Recently, the Orlando International Airport was forced to cancel and delay several flights due to severe weather, and now more bad weather is on the way.
Bad weather in Disney World
Between the large hail that we recently saw in Orlando and the damaging winds blowing through Florida, the weather is really acting up right now!
We get it. When you spend so much time and money on a Disney World trip, you want it to be as close to perfect as it can be.
Cinderella Castle
The thing is, sometimes not-so-magical things happen in the world’s most magical place. Rides close temporarily, My Disney Experience has issues, crowds take over the parks, and more. These things could make you mad, and rightfully so. Some people, though, get mad over the oddest things in Disney World.
We’ve seen all kinds of weather conditions in Disney World!
Rainy Day in Hollywood Studios
From extreme heat to surprising cold to hurricane season, we feel like we’ve seen it all. And since Disney World is located in hurricane country, the parks get an excessive amount of rain throughout the year. Because of that, we’ve seen some pretty wild flooding in Disney World, and we’re here to talk about it!
When planning for a Disney World vacation, there are certain things you should ABSOLUTELY do ahead of time.

Making a packing list, planning out your Genie+ selections, and looking at park maps can all help you have a great Disney vacation. But there might be a big thing you are overlooking when planning your trip.

Main Street USA
We’ve seen hurricanes, floods, severe thunderstorms, extreme heat, and even a few cold snaps in the parks. And in general, we’re pretty good about being prepared for all of it! But if you’re traveling to Disney World or Central Florida today, there are some weather-related issues that may delay your plans.
Unexpected things often happen in Disney World, which is why we always tell you to be flexible with your plans.
Slinky Dog Dash
Rides malfunction, animatronics disappear, Donald gets replaced by a plant (we’re still laughing at that one), and rides close. Right now, we’re seeing MULTIPLE ride closures throughout Disney World.
