They remain open if there is rain without lightning. Very rarely, they will close for air temperature reasons, like if the outdoor temperature won't be getting out of the 40s during the day. And of course if there are hurricane warnings, guests will be kept away from the pools.

Disneyland in the Rain Park OperationsDisneyland Resort is open rain or shine and many guests still make it to the parks during the rain because they don't want to miss out on their vacation time. There are a few attractions that will close during rain, but many remain open and Genie+ still works in the rain too.
What are pool hours? Feature or main pool hours are 10 am until 10 pm or 11 pm daily, depending upon the season. (Expect warmer months to see longer hours.) Leisure or quiet pools are once again open 24 hours per day.
So, while rain isn't ideal, Disney does still try to provide some entertainment and with the right attitude, you'll still have a good time. Remember: A rainy day at Disney is better than a sunny day at home!
Can you swim in December? Even though it may be too cold to swim in December where you live, at Disney World the pools are heated which means even if the air is a bit chilly, the pools are still a comfortable temperature. In addition to the pools at the resorts, at least 1 of Disney's 2 water parks will remain open.
The fireworks are never fully cancelled if they were set by the pyro CM's, but can be severely delayed. If there's a ton of rain or very high winds then fireworks can be postponed for hours. It doesn't happen too often, but it does happen.
The truth is, when it is rainy outside, the parks will be a lot less busy. So if you can handle it, you will often find that you can get a lot done during a storm. But, if you prefer to stay totally out of the rain, there are other things you can do on property that are still a lot of fun.
Even if it's drizzling, for the most part, Disney World's outdoor rides and other open-air attractions remain open, meaning that you can still have a great (albeit damp) time. Still, be aware that, for safety reasons, some attractions may have to close during periods of heavy rain or lightning.
Thanks for stopping by to ask a great question! I always try to be prepared for any weather on my Walt Disney World vacations. Yes, umbrellas are permitted in Walt Disney World!
I am happy to share that the Walt Disney World Resort offers firework spectaculars, in select parks, on just about every night of the year, including during the time that you will be visiting! Let's check out your options!
Fireworks are seasonal throughout the year and typically are only shown daily during peak seasons due to the proximity of the Disneyland Resort to the neighbors/businesses in Anaheim. During off-peak days, fireworks are Friday through Sunday. For the rest of the week, projections and music are only shown.
I am happy to let you know that all of the Disney Resort hotel pools are open year round. The only times they close is if they are scheduled for refurbishment, if there is lightning in the area or if it an extremely cold day and in that case, the Disney Water Parks close as well.
All of the Resort hotel pools are heated to approximately 82 degrees, so you only have to worry about getting chilly when you get out of the water. Better have those towels ready! Even in the cooler months, the sun is still warm, so it's always quite pleasant to take a dip in the pool.
You would want to have a wrap or light jacket for the evenings just in case, but there is still a good chance of having shorts weather for some or all your days in the parks. The Disney Resort Hotels heat their resort pools year-round to around 82 degrees (about 28 degrees Celsius).
