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?
Disney World vacations are COMPLICATED!
So many things to organize and think about: booking flights, finding the right hotel, getting your park tickets, park pass reservations, making dining reservations, and learning how to navigate My Disney Experience and decide if you need Genie+ or not. Wouldn’t it be nice if Disney just made it easy? Well, we can’t control Disney, but we can help you navigate these decisions and suggest some items to make sure you bring with you to help your vacation be even easier!
Despite whatever tale you may have heard about a dome stretching across Disney World that allows the powers that be to control the weather — it, unfortunately, isn’t true.
Rain in Hollywood Studios
That was never clearer than on a recent evening when EPCOT guests spotted what appeared to be some sort of funnel-shaped cloud forming over Spaceship Earth. So, was there really a tornado at EPCOT recently? And, what if you’re stuck in severe weather while you’re in Disney World? Luckily, we’ve got the answers.
It’s hurricane season, and that means it’s VERY stormy in Florida.

During the summer months, we often see storms nearly every afternoon, and those can put a damper on your plans if you’re traveling to the theme parks. At Disney World, many outdoor rides will close with lightning, as well as a variety of outdoor entertainment options. But what about if it’s a travel day? In that case, you might want to be prepared for some delays.
It’s no secret that Florida weather can be wild!
Put on those ponchos!
When you’re visiting Disney World, you may have to be prepared to face everything from extreme heat to overwhelming humidity to heavy winds…and that’s just in one trip! It rains quite a bit during hurricane season, and sometimes we find that the rain causes some issues in the parks. That’s exactly what happens frequently in Disney’s Hollywood Studios!
Uhhh…Disney World, are you okay?!
Partners Statue
The rain and heat we’re experiencing around the resort today happens every now and then. But on top of that, we’ve got huge amount of closures, cancelations, and delays we’re seeing?! It seems like everywhere we look, something new is down. We honestly don’t even know where to start with this list of struggles today (as it’s quite long), but let’s just jump right in.
Unfortunately, not all moments are “magical” moments in Disney World.
Disney’s Animal Kingdom
Over our MANY years visiting Disney World, we’ve had a lot of unexpected problems pop up in the parks. From ride closures to illness to bad weather to lost belongings, if it could go wrong, it probably has at some point or another for someone on our team! And from all that experience, we’re sharing the seven problems you probably didn’t see coming in Disney World…and how to fix them!
No matter how much planning you put into your Disney World trip, there’s likely to be a hiccup or two.

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!
