Sometimes It Floods in Disney World — Here’s How You Can Avoid It.

One thing about Disney World that you can almost always count on is the unpredictable weather. 

You know what they say, “a rainy day in Disney World is better than a sunny day at home,” but sometimes, the skies open up and it just starts pouring down rain.  In the past, we’ve seen the Disney World parks flood because of the rain, but sometimes the rain comes down so hard, it can flood parts of the Disney parks!

In case you were wondering what the weather is like in Disney World, the answer is: always changing. The weather can change at the drop of a hat, and it often does. Just because you see sunny skies when you wake up in your Disney Resort hotel doesn’t mean that’s how it will stay!

Sometimes thunderstorms can come on so quickly and without warning that parts of Disney World can flood. This has caused problems for many of the stores in Hollywood Studios for example, as when we stepped into one to get out of the rain during one visit, we noticed that it was flooding!

In the video, you can see Cast Members were pushing the water out of Celebrity 5 & 10. They were blocking off the area with signs that say “caution wet floor” and making sure no one went into the flooded areas.

If you’re in Disney World and a downpour starts, there are a few things you can do instead of throwing in the towel and calling it a day. You can stop and grab a bite to eat, for example, or take the opportunity to do some shopping.

You can also head to an indoor ride or show like the Frozen Sing-Along and wait out the rain there, or you can, of course, just throw on a poncho or rain jacket and tough it out. Outdoor rides will close if there is lightning in the area, but if it’s just rain with no thunderstorms, they will likely stay open.

We have plenty of tips on how to survive the rain in Disney World, too. We especially recommend packing a spare change of socks and even sandals in case you get caught in a puddle — there’s nothing worse than walking around in wet shoes or having to unexpectedly buy a pair you don’t really like.

Not only that, but buying ponchos in advance can save you a bit of money on your trip as well. Disney ponchos can be expensive and they’re pretty flimsy — getting a reusable poncho that can easily fold up and be stored in your park bag can come in handy.
