What rides close down when it rains at Disney World?

So, my family and I are going to Disney World from August 28 to September 5. I am aware that it is hurricane season and that it will probably be raining for most of the time that we're there.



I'd like to know what rides stop operating when there's rain.

If possible I'd also like to know what rides stop operating when there is thunder and lightning.



Please include Blizzard Beach and Typhoon Lagoon as well.





Any other tips you may have about Disney World and rain are very much appreciated as well.What rides close down when it rains at Disney World?
first of all, rides still operate in rain. They only close down during lightning/thunderstorms.

and second, just because its hurricane season doesnt mean there will be a storm and it will be raining the whole time. If theres a lot of rain, it usually mean a hurricane is close by. and if there is, the parks would close early.

During lightning/thundersorms, both Typhoon Lagoon and Blizzard Beach close down. all the rides, pools, etc.. they arent going to risk injuring their guests (in the lightning) just to make a little money.



Magic Kingdom:

all the outdoor rides close down (thunder mountain, splash mountain, astro orbiter, dumbo, etc...) also close down: liberty boat, tom sawyer island, and the swiss family treehouse.



Epcot: they close Epcot during rain. thats about it.



Hollywood Studios: im prety sure they will close tower of terror during a thunderstorm because its pretty high up. they wont do any of the outdoor shows (indiana jones, lights motors action!, fantasmic, etc...)



Animal Kingdom: since a majority of the parks rides are outside and involve the animals, this park would be pretty boring to be at during a thunderstorm. Most things close. I would not recommend being there.



you could always head over to downtown disney during a thunderstorm. they have a movie theater and lots of shops/restaurants, so you could enjoy yourselves and have fun while not worring about a closed park.



and bring your own poncho/raincoat as the Disney ponchos run around $8 or so.
Epcot: Only Test Track closes due to rain.



Disney-MGM Studios: Lights! Motors! Action! and Fantasmic are cancelled during rain.



Magic Kingdom: While only a few rides close for rain, the folowing rides will close because of lightening: Splash Mountain, Big Thunder Mountain, Jungle Cruise, Magic Carpets of Aladdin, Dumbo the Flying Elephant, Tomorrowland Indy Speedway, Liberty Belle Riverboat, Astro Orbiter and Swiss Family Treehouse.



Disney鈥檚 Animal Kingdom: Disney鈥檚 Animal Kingdom is not recommended for rainy day traveling due to most of the animal habitats being outdoors.



P.S. Just because it is hurricane season doesn't mean it will be raining the whole time. If a hurricane is close enough to Orlando to be producing rain, you probably don't want to stick around... Afternoon showers are common in late summer but it likely won't rain all day, every day.What rides close down when it rains at Disney World?
All of Blizzard Beach and Typhoon Lagoon will close down their rides for safety purposes if it starts to thunder and lightening.



MAGIC KINGDOM:

Big Thunder Mountain Railroad

Splash Mountain



EPCOT:

Test Track



ANIMAL KINGDOM:

Expedition Everest

Kiliminjaro Safari's (I believe, not 100% sure about that one.)

Primevil Whirl



HOLLYWOOD STUDIOS:

Tower of Terror (Seen it happen before, the building has been hit by lightening before.)
When I went during the rainy season they still kept most of the rides open during a big storm. We rode dumbo in pouring rain! I think all the outdoor rides stop temporarily if the thunder and lightning get too intense. Also the water parks close when lightning and thunder happen, and during the off season they are usually only open select days of the weeks.

Have fun :)What rides close down when it rains at Disney World?
we were there july 2009. all rides stay open unless there is lightning and thunder. the waterparks also stay open during rain. they make everyone get out of the water if it is thundering and lightning. my son and husband were still able to ride the rides at magic kingdom during the rain. trust me, it is nice to be in a rain shower in the middle of summer in orlando. HAVE FUN! ! !
