I’m not in the mood for another tournament poll yet, so we’ll do a nice lighthearted one again this week!

:blush::wink:

What do you usually do when it rains at WDW? (select up to 3)

  • Poncho + sandals = Let it rain!
  • Hide out in the gift shop till it’s over
  • Take refuge in an indoor show / ride
  • Push up that ADR
  • Stay in / go back to my hotel room
  • Stake out an outdoor ride so I can be first in line when it reopens
  • Head to the pool
  • Take a ride on the Skyliner
  • I get soaked – oh well :man_shrugging:
  • Other (comment below)

If anyone has a better idea, I’m all ears! (heh)

Poncho up

But let me tell you if that becomes the overriding theme for your trip it becomes far less adorable.

I would poncho up in certain situations, but if it’s going to be quick I’ll hide out. If it’s going to be a complete washout with a river running through the park I’ll exit completely.

Rain is seriously the biggest damper on a trip, far more than sunshine and humidity, IMHO. It’s ok if it’s just for a bit in the afternoon, but it can ruin your day if you’re unprepared. (As I learned the hard way! :rofl:)

No pun intended??

Yes, the odd shower is one thing. An all day downpour is unmagical

LOL I totally didn’t think of that.

My caveat to my answers is that if it is lightning, I’m hanging out in a store or a shelter. Otherwise, poncho up, get soaked, and keep going.

One trip in May (maybe 2018?), it was cold-ish and rainy for every one of our 4 park days. It was alternating drizzle and hard rain continuously all day. I think the sun finally came out on our last day. We went through a 10-pack of ponchos from Amazon and I had to buy a hoodie in the parks that I wore in the mornings every single day. At least I can easily identify all the pictures from that trip!

Oh darn, another poll I can’t vote in. There was no rain during both of our week long trips.

:man_shrugging:

Maybe I’ll do a hypothetical vote :thinking:

Also, the difference between light rain and heavy rain can lead to a different answer.

All depends on the volume of rain and what’s left on the agenda.

If it’s louder is that better or worse?

Jealous eh? :laughing:

I’m waiting for Jeff’s approval to make a hypothetical vote. Jeff wants me here. He loves everyone. So there. :rofl:

Is the Skyliner option a test? Don’t they close that down in bad weather? :thinking:

I thought the same about the heading to the pool option.

I’ve been on it when it’s just raining. It’s when there is lightning in the area that it 100% will shut down.

If there is lightning, yes. If it’s just rain, not necessarily.
