Magic Kingdom does close a lot of attractions in the rain. They include Tomorrowland Speedway, Tom Sawyer Island, Festival of Fantasy Parade, Pirates of the Caribbean (only if there is flooding in Adventureland). In addition, they will close attractions for lightning in the area (but not just rain).

If the rain isn't heavy and there isn't danger of lightning, our best advice is to put on a poncho and keep moving! Indoor attractions will be open, and the lines typically get shorter during rainstorms.
Magic Kingdom has a special alternative to keep the magic alive when it's raining (and if there's no lightning in the area). You'll have to check out the Rainy Day Cavalcade that features characters riding in vehicles down Main Street, alongside dancers in rain gear.
When inclement weather strikes (especially when lighting is in the area), the following rides can close at Magic Kingdom: Astro Orbiter. Barnstormer. Big Thunder Mountain Railroad.
That said, don't expect Magic Kingdom or Disney Springs to be ghost towns just because of a few rain showers. Many guests will simply take their fun inside instead by going on some dark rides, seeing a show or getting something to eat.
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.

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!
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.
While a rainy day in the parks is better than not being in the parks, I understand the choice to reschedule. Disneyland tickets are nonrefundable. If you have tickets with theme park ticket reservations, you can go in and cancel those reservations or just let them be.
You Can Bring a Backpack to Disney ParksWith the exception of a couple attractions, every ride at Disney will have a small pouch for you to stow your backpack, or space at your feet. Your trusty bag can take on all the adventures Disney has to offer with you!
Epcot is the best because there is only one outdoor attraction in the whole park, Test Track. Other than that, every ride will remain open and running during rainy weather.
Does the Monorail Run in the Rain? Thankfully, the Monorail that connects Magic Kingdom and Epcot and a few Disney resorts, should continue to run in the rain. It's actually a great option to consider if you don't want to be in the parks when it's raining.
If you think that the day you will be in the parks is just too risky to try because of the rain, you can always try and rebook your Theme Park Reservation and change the date of your ticket. You will be able to do both from your My Disney Experience account online or your My Disney Experience app.
Tickets and packages at Walt Disney World Resort are nontransferable and nonrefundable. However, while you cannot cancel or get a refund for tickets or packages, you may be able to change the date of your unused tickets.
