I am from California and have been to Disneyland over 20 times. I'm taking my first trip to Disney World this October from 10/7-10/17. I chose this time so I could still be guaranteed warm enough for waterparks and. Evening swims and avoid crowds and humidity of summer. One thing is I've never experienced a thunderstorm up close since they are VERY rare in California and I want to experience one just to see what loud thunder and nearby lightning feel like but not have it rain EVERY day. What are the chances of getting 1-4 CLOSE UP thunderstorms and having the rest of the days dry. I've only heard thunder about 10 times in my life and think I'd get more adrenalin rush from a loud thunderstorm than all the rides put together. Also when is it safe to run around in a thunderstorm and when should I head in a building? I want to walk around in a swimsuit and shorts in warm tropical rain which California doesn't get cuz our rain is cold. I heard the thunderstorms are quite intense in summer but will they be gone by October? I think I'd be disappointed if I didn't at least one but I'd also be disappointed if it thundered the entire time. Do they shut down the pools in lightning? Is October the sweet spot for both thundery days and dry days?
