What's better-rainy weather and slow or sunny and busy?

[laben594]

We live 2 hours away and we have the option of going tomorrow when it's supposed to rain, or Saturday when it's supposed to be nice. The crowd level is already at a 1 for tomorrow so with the rain I know we won't have to wait in lines, and the crowd level for Saturday is at a 7 but it will be beautiful out. Just don't know how much fun we will have being soaking wet....but I should add we have no kids so we can move around much faster

Any opinions/tips? Thanks

A rainy day at Disney is better than a sunny day at home

I normally don't mind rain but when it rains in January it sucks so depends on the time of year

A rainy day. You'll be able to do so much.

Hmm. Tough call. At two hours away you can go same day. I'm four and a half hours away so require a resort stay. I'm thinking that if you're going for the day, go when it's sunny so you can enjoy the weather as well as the parks.

Rain if you're at MK...most stuff is inside and it tends to be more crowded, especially on sunny days.

Sun if you're at AK, EPCOT, or HS.

Depends on the amount of rain. If it is just a light rain then you should be fine and with a lower crowd it should be pretty nice (sort of like an on/off rain that isn't heavy). An overcast day is no problem. However, if it is a constant downpour (rarely is there from my experience) then it would be sort of awful (annoyingly, this happened this past December, waited for Fantasmic in the rain, they kept saying it wasn't canceled, then at the last minute it was canceled and it rained all night). I also did get a really rainy day in January before, which for whatever reason wasn't a huge deal then and ended up going on a lot of rides.

I usually prefer less of a wait, so as long as it's not crazy rain, I have little issue with it. Especially Magic Kingdom, which is so packed together that there's always buildings to walk in. EPCOT also isn't so bad since you can usually find places to hide out in that are pretty big, and the whole World Showcase.

But it's really up to you and how intense the rain is. Light rain = good. Heavy rain = not so good.

Just looked, it seems like it may be a bit of a heavier rain tomorrow. Could still be worth it. I'm not sure if there have been other rainy days around there lately, so maybe you can base it off that. But with the weather I'd say Magic Kingdom is the way to go.
