Put on those sweat-inducing ponchos and keep going! Last September we ran into heavy thunderstorms a few times during the week which kept us under shelter but we just move from building to building to get places.

NEVER! Unless it's like hurricane or we start seeing actual cats and dogs falling from above, it's Go Time! Time to hit up on those empty outdoor attractions! A few years ago I got to ride Thunder Mountain five times with only a 5-10 minute wait. Everyone seemed to be hauled up in FantasyLand and Tomorrow land! Space mountain had a good Hour and 45 minute wait.
At Epcot, all the attractions are indoors... So, just the normal pace, maybe hit up the Cool Place for a quick dry and a drink before we head for Soarin.
Animal kingdom is the only place that stops us, only because we LOVE the Restaurantosaurus in the rain! So cozy and comforting!
DHS-ToT is amazing in a storm! Adds more spookiness to the atmosphere!

Ditto. When it looked like rain last week, I left Epcot and headed for the pool. It started pouring as soon as I got in, but it was so fun. It was also fun to watch the dripping wet swimmers dart out of the pool, cover their heads and seek shelter.If it's raining..I know what I gotta do...
If that was on sunday the 20th we just statyed at the Magic Kingdom and carried on like normal . It makes us laugh that people will walk around drenched after splash or kali and yet will poncho up and shelter for 15 minutes rainDitto.

We make sure to pack ponchos and we'll go inside somewhere until it passes.

Yes! It was on Sunday. I've always found the afternoon showers to be quite refreshing. It is entertaining to watch how some people react to water falling from the sky.If that was on sunday the 20th we just statyed at the Magic Kingdom and carried on like normal .

We had just got a balcony seat at cosmic rays when it opened up.once we had finished we just took advantage of everyone sheltering to get places quickly.It also thinned out the crowd nicely for the 3 o'clock parade (the sun had come out again by then anyway)

The best time to be at the park or the pool is when it's raining. Once the sun came back out everyone crowded the pool again. So, I got out, took a shower, and headed back to Epcot to eat an early dinner and watch the Starship concert.

Jefferson Starship?
Also, many times when it rains they close the pools, due to lightning.

Yes. Mickey Thomas was the only member of the "original" band. He still sounds great! They opened with "Jane". There was a female singer. She was good, but was no Grace Slick.
There was no lightning on Sunday it waited to appear on my last day and last chance to enjoy the pool. The lifegaurds cleared the pool pronto. So, I had a pina colava and made the best of it.

I would kill to see them in concert! Did they do Alice? Sara? Of course I'm sure they did We Built this City!
I'd be on 80's nostalgia overload....
Our last day was interrupted by lightning also . Our plane was delayed by an hour as they can't load luggage during thunderstorms ...

They did Alice, Sara, and We Built this City. I was in heaven. I think they play every year at the F&G It did rain a little, but it didn't bother me. It was great.
