Does Navi River Journey close for rain?

Indoor rides like Avatar Flights of Passage, Na'vi River Journey, and Dinosaur all stayed open, along with a surprise one: Kilimanjaro Safaris! Even though it's a completely outdoor ride, the safari trucks have canopies and can operate safely in the rain, and it remained open.



No, Na'vi River Journey at Disney's Animal Kingdom does not close for rain. The entire ride experience and the majority of the queue are located indoors and undercover. Because it is a slow-moving boat ride housed in a fully enclosed climate-controlled building, it remains operational during typical Florida thunderstorms and downpours. In fact, it is one of the best places to take shelter during a sudden rainstorm in the Pandora – The World of Avatar area. However, the attraction may close for technical malfunctions or if there is severe lightning in the immediate area that requires the outdoor portions of the park's walkways to be cleared for safety. But for standard "rainy day" visitors in 2026, the bioluminescent rainforest remains open, offering a dry and glowing escape from the elements.

What is this? If you can only ride Slinky Dog Dash once, I suggest skipping it while it's light out and coming back to it after dark.
