Do they close rides at Disneyland when it rains?

There are a few attractions that will close during rain, but many remain open and Genie+ still works in the rain too. Remember safety is the most important factor and some rides may open and close depending on the severity of the weather.



Most attractions at Disneyland in California remain open during the rain, as a high percentage of the rides are located indoors (such as Space Mountain, Pirates of the Caribbean, and Haunted Mansion). However, for the safety of guests and staff, outdoor attractions may close temporarily if the track becomes too slick or if there is lightning in the area. Typical closures include Alice in Wonderland, Gadget's Go Coaster, The Mad Tea Party, and Storybook Land Canal Boats. Additionally, outdoor entertainment like parades and the "Fantasmic!" show are often cancelled or modified for safety. In 2026, Disneyland usually keeps a "Rainy Day Cavalcade" (a shorter, vehicle-based parade) ready to go so that guests still get a bit of magic even when the main parade cannot safely perform on wet pavement.
