Rainy Days?

[mellymouse]

Just wondered - what sort of things do you do in Florida if it's raining lots???
I dont mean showers - I mean rain!!!

Shopping :D We had one rainy day last year so we spent the whole day at various shopping outlets and spent loads of money :D

Go to the parks anyway! Just take a spare set of clothes (we always do this anyway in a back pack) and a rain coat. The parks are dead on rainy days, its a great time to get on every ride in the park without a wait.

Depends how heavy it is

I try and do the indoor stuff - Wonderworks, Ripleys etc

Or shopping. Or chill out in a bar near the hotel.

As dmrevis says, Go anyway! It's much quieter in the parks when it rains and unless it's a cold day, the rain is warm and not that unpleasant. Lightning storms are another thing, of course, but those tend to be brief (30 minutes and they're done).

We agree that shopping, the minor attractions on I-Drive, bars, etc are good choices. If you do go into the parks, Epcot is best for a rainy day, MGM is second best. Believe it or not, another great place for a rainy day (as long as there is no lightning around) are the water parks. You're already wet, and again, it's usually plenty warm even when it's raining. If there is lightning they'll close the park, but just a heavy rain doesn't stop things.

either do the usual and hit the shops, in the parks everybody will have the same ideas so they may get busy or just get wet!its quite fun really or look for a short ride queue a lot of people will head out of the parks
