Mushy sneakers, wet hair, and drenched clothing are just a few of the side effects of a wild Florida downpour. No matter how much you plan ahead and check the forecast, Central Florida weather is notoriously unpredictable!
The rainy Florida weather has arrived!
Ever wondered what it looks like when the sky opens ups and a big ol’ thunderstorm rolls into town? Lucky for you, we braved the storm and have the photos to prove it!
It started out as a normal day at Disney World. Disney’s Hollywood Studios was hustling and bustling, the sky was a little overcast, and we were ready for a nice spring park day! (Or so we thought…🌩️ )
One minute you’re dry…
After we checked the weather forecast, we noticed that Orange county and Osceola county were placed under a Severe Thunderstorm Watch (Disney World is located in both counties). It was time to brace for rain — LOTS of rain!
…the next minute you’re soaked!
By around 4PM, a severe thunderstorm rolled through Hollywood Studios. Pretty much everyone ran for cover or went indoors to avoid the downpour.
The storms have arrived in Central Florida and we might just need a boat to get back to the bus stop! 😳⛈️ pic.twitter.com/iwYwnFm746

In the event of such a large rainstorm, it’s usually best to look for Disney’s indoor attractions and shows that will keep you out of that yucky weather. Now’s not the time for a scenic stroll through Batuu!

If you’re planning a trip to Disney World this spring, don’t forget a poncho! We also recommend bringing a pair of shoes that can survive a little water — no one likes walking around with wet socks.
Bring a poncho or rain jacket!
If you happen to find yourself in Disney World this weekend, good luck and stay dry! In the meantime, stay tuned for all the latest Disney news and park updates.

On March 10th we were at MK in line for Haunted Mansion. What a downpour, luckily much of the line was under cover. A couple behind us lent 1 of their umbrellas to my husband. I had a poncho. The riverboat docked, there was lightning and thunder. On Saturday, March 12th, we had plans for Epcot. Didn’t get there because of a tornado watch until 1 PM. Wasted ticket. I felt sorry for families with MK park reservations.
I’m going to be at the parks at the end of the month. Both my sister from another Mister and I bought Vessi shoes because they a waterproof and dry fast (I’ve tested them out – this isn’t a plug for them). Trying to decide if I should order an inflatable kayak from Amazon to be delivered to my hotel.
We were there that day in Animal Kingdom! I have experienced a lot of downpours at Disney but this one was definitely in the top 3!!
