How to Enjoy a Rainy Day in Epcot

You can never predict the weather when you travel. Especially in Florida, where it can start raining at the drop of a hat. However, you can't let rain ruin your day at Epcot. Here's your rainy day plan!

Instructions

1. Do not immediately call it a day and head back to the hotel. Sometimes, the rain will be heavy and only last half an hour and the Florida sun will be back out before you know it. Besides, lots of other people could be panicking and leaving the park--this greatly decreases lines. Majority of rides will continue to run unless there is severe thunder and lightening.

2. Stop worrying about how silly you'll look and buy a poncho. They can be easily folded into a compact size for when the rain stops and you don't need it, and can cover you and most of your belonging when it does rain.

3. Head to an indoor location (but be prepared that this is what majority of other guests will be doing as well). The Land Pavilion is a good choice, as there are multiple food places and attractions such as Soarin' and Living With the Land to keep you busy for a bit while the rain lets up. The Living Seas can also provide you with a variety of indoor attractions, from The Seas with Nemo and Friends to Turtle Talk with Crush.

4. Look for lines with covered or partially-covered queue areas. Spaceship Earth and Test Track are good choices, as waiting in these lines should keep you partially (if not totally) dry in the rain.

5. If you have your poncho, and it's not a torrential downpour, continue your touring as planned. As those unprepared for the rain duck for cover, you can continue your stroll around the World Showcase as planned--and probably with less traffic on the pathways!
