Recently we experienced one of those gloomy and rainy days at Disney World — well as gloomy as it can be for being at Disney World. If there are storms in the area, certain rides may be closed and this morning we see quite a few that are down.

On Main Street, U.S.A., guests were ready with their ponchos.

Here is a list of rides that were closed during the rainy day at Magic Kingdom. The Astro Orbiter, The Barnstormer, and Big Thunder Mountain Railroad are all closed. This could be due to lightning in the area and many of these are outdoor attractions.

Seven Dwarfs Mine Train, Tomorrowland Speedway, and The Walt Disney World Railroad are just a few more that are also closed.

Let’s head over to Hollywood Studios.

So what should you do if it’s a stormy day at Disney World? There are plenty of things to still do even when rides are closed. You could take advantage of seeing some of Disney’s indoor shows like Festival of the Lion King, For the First Time in Forever: A Frozen Sing-a-long Celebration, or Mickey’s Philharmagic.

It might be a good idea to sit down and eat inside a restaurant like Be Our Guest or Yak & Yeki.
