Rain boots make the most amount of sense for a rainy day. But at least in my experience, rain boots aren't comfortable.

You won't see princesses around the Disneyland entrance or Goofy ambling down the street in the rain. While the pre-planned character meet-and-greets will still be happening, don't plan on seeing characters just walking around. It does take away a little of the magic (probably mostly for ME!)
