Originally Posted By WDWs Future Yeah, our weather is extremely unpredictable! The rain can and probably will come out of no where, and usually in the mid to late afternoon; on a typical Florida day. It is a good idea to carry at least a poncho, or prepare to duck into the nearest giftshop or restaurant! However, if it is not pouring, the shower can be a nice way to cool down Keep a watchful eye and ear out for thunder and lightning..just because you cannot see it doesn't mean you're not in danger. My Mom and I have lots of fun pointing out lightning rods througout the parks, its pretty amusing ;P

Originally Posted By Crazy4WDW I have to laugh when I'm at WDW and the forecast says rain. Usually, it's a 20 minute shower. Here in Pittsburgh, when we have rain, it rains from morning until night, and sometimes for days. I'm always waiting to see animals walking down the street two by two . . .
Originally Posted By danyoung One thing to take advantage of is that most people aren't familiar with the 20 minute shower pattern. It starts to rain and they race to the exits. Just find a place to hunker down and enjoy the rainfall. 20 minutes later you'll have the park practically to yourself!
