Summer is officially here which means Florida has two types of weather; super hot or super rainy. It can definitely put a damper on your day when the forecast calls for rain and can sometimes call for a change in plans!
Today I wanted to share some fun rainy day activities for you and your family while at Walt Disney World. And honestly, some of these can even be used when it’s just too hot outside to handle it, or if you’re having a rest day.
Enjoy!
Spitsville Luxury Lanes
Splitsville is certainly an underrated activity at Walt Disney World! This bowling alley is truly a destination. We have always had so much time each time we’ve gone here – and the food is amazing. It’s a great way to spend a few hours in the AC and it’s fun for the whole family. Check out my full review of Splitsville here from 2019.
Resort Community Halls
At select deluxe resorts you can check out the Community Hall, an indoor area of the resort dedicated to arts, crafts, and other activities! From ceramic painting, to coloring, to board games, and even DVD rentals – there is something for the whole family! There is a combination of paid and complimentary activities and the Cast Members are always excited to help you out. Check out Community Halls at Saratoga Springs, Bay Lake Tower, Boardwalk, Animal Kingdom Lodge (Kidani Village), Old Key West, and Riviera.
AMC Dine-In Theatre
Want a unique movie theatre experience on your rain day? Look no further than Disney Springs! This theatre has luxury seating plus you can order a full food and beverage menu to get delivered right to your seats. This makes for a fun and unique movie experience you may not have at home.
Take A Monorail Loop
A rainy day can make the perfect time to explore the monorail resorts! Hop aboard the Disney monorail either at the transportation and ticket center, at Magic Kingdom, or at select resorts. Take a trip around the loop and stop at Disney’s Polynesian Resort, Disney’s Contemporary Resort, and The Grand Floridian Resort. Check out the shops, grab a bite to eat, and enjoy the atmosphere. You won’t pay anything to ride the monorail making it a great free activity!
Cirque Du Soliel – Drawn to Life at Disney Springs
The Cirque Du Soliel show at Disney Springs, Drawn to Life, is the perfect rainy day activity that your family will not forget! This show takes the magic of Cirque Du Soliel and Disney magic and wraps it into one breathtaking performance. We had the privilege of going in 2022 and highly recommend it! It was fun for the whole family – toddlers to adults. It’s truly a MUST DO if you have the time.
Plan A Water Park Day
You may see this and think “isn’t this list ideas for things to do on a rainy day?” And my answer is – yes! If you know anything about Florida rain – typically it doesn’t last long. While there are some exceptions – normally storms last a hour or less. And Disney will always close facilities if it’s unsafe for guests, so you know you’re in good hands. Growing up we always went to the Disney water parks when there was rain in the afternoon forecast. This scares many people away and results in a super empty park! If it does rain you can easily wait it out in the gift shop or under shelter. To this day this is one of my favorite pro tips.
