Rainy Day Fun at Walt Disney World Resort
A little rain should never put a damper on a full day of magic at Walt Disney World® Resort, where the fun always shines!
There are always exciting activities, attractions and entertainment for the whole family to enjoy. Here are just a few favorite picks!
Magic Kingdom® Park
- When the afternoon parades at Magic Kingdom Park can’t be performed as planned, Disney friends come out to play in the “Rainy Day Cavalcade.”* This cheery procession brings Mickey Mouse, Minnie Mouse and their pals down the street in antique vehicles, accompanied by a special musical soundtrack and parade performers in colorful rain slickers and galoshes!
- You can hop on a rip-roaring rocket into the furthest reaches of outer space on Space Mountain attraction, set sail on a swashbuckling voyage on Pirates of the Caribbean attraction, and climb aboard a gloomy Doom Buggy on the Haunted Mansion attraction.
Epcot®
