food IS a theme park
Lightning struck Cinderella Castle at approximately 6:01 PM on August 5th, sending a loud boom resonating through Magic Kingdom.
Cinderella Castle
The noise shocked Disney World guests, and sent a few scattering. People reported seeing the lightning bolt hit the highest spire of the castle and then seemingly “radiate” down to other spires before dissapating.
It can rain frequently in Central Florida. And when that happens, some rides around the Disney Parks might close temporarily for safety reasons. But does Disney ever close the whole park due to rain? What does Disney do when it rains — and what should YOU do? We’ve got the answers!

Rainy Day Cavalcade
Florida is notorious for the kind of weather that makes folks say, “If you don’t like the weather, wait a minute.” And, while the storms may usually pass quickly, that doesn’t mean that your day in the parks won’t be impacted. We’ve seen days where thunderstorms cause ride closures and even recently saw Disney’s Hollywood Studios flood. And, as we move into the Spring season in Central Florida, we’re bringing you along with us on a REALLY rainy day in Disney World!
If you’ve spent more than a few days in Florida, especially in the summer months, then you’re probably well aware of the fact that it can…weather…from time to time (yes, we totally just made “weather” a verb).
A rainy day in Disney’s Hollywood Studios
Rain is quite common in the Disney World area, as is lightning. In fact, Disney World plans on these storms being a common occurrence with lightning rods set up all around the parks and resorts!
