What happens if it rains at Magic Kingdom?

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).

Personally, I feel if you are prepared with your poncho, water-friendly shoes, and umbrella, rainy days at Walt Disney World Resort are some of the best. Many folks will retreat back to their resorts resulting in lower crowds. If I had to choose, I would head on over to EPCOT for a rainy day.

Everything is more spread out, so you'd be caught longer in the rain. Based on the usual summer forecast, we'd recommend a plan that includes visiting Animal Kingdom in the morning and EPCOT in the afternoon. Magic Kingdom and Disney's Hollywood Studios each have a fair amount of indoor attractions.

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.

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!)
