A Complete List of the Attractions that Close When it Rains in Disney World

If you’re going to be in Disney World for more than a couple of days, there’s a high chance that you’ll run into a pop-up storm or some rain during your trip!

Rainy Day in Hollywood Studios

When that happens, some rides around the Disney Parks have to close for a bit for safety reasons. Here are the rides and attractions that you can expect to see close for weather!

While we were in the parks during one of those short rainy times, we took a look at what was closed around the parks! As you might expect, most of the outdoor rides were temporarily closed, but a lot of the rides that are completely indoors stayed open. Here’s what was happening in each park!

Magic Kingdom

Inside Disney’s Magic Kingdom, a lot of rides were down for the rain! We saw Astro Orbiter, The Barnstormer, Big Thunder Mountain Railroad…

Rainy Day in Magic Kingdom

…Liberty Square Riverboat, The Magic Carpets of Aladdin, Seven Dwarfs Mine Train, Splash Mountain…

Rain is almost unavoidable in the summer at Disney

…Swiss Family Treehouse, Tom Sawyer Island, Tomorrowland Speedway, Dumbo the Flying Elephant, and Jungle Cruise all on the list for being closed temporarily! All of those attractions are at least partly outdoors.

Rain in Magic Kingdom

Some that were still open include “it’s a small world,’ Buzz Lightyear’s Space Ranger Spin, Peter Pan’s Flight, Haunted Mansion, and Mickey’s PhilharMagic show!

Animal Kingdom

Over in Disney’s Animal Kingdom, we saw that Expedition Everest, Gorilla Falls Trail, Kali River Rapids, and TriceraTop Spin were all down because of the rain.

Rainy Day

Indoor rides like Avatar Flights of Passage, Na’vi River Journey, and Dinosaur all stayed open, along with a surprise one: Kilimanjaro Safaris! Even though it’s a completely outdoor ride, the safari trucks have canopies and can operate safely in the rain, so that was still open!

Hollywood Studios

Hollywood Studios is a good place to be if it’s raining, because a lot of the most popular rides are indoors! The only one that was closed for the rain was Slinky Dog Dash!

Rain in Toy Story land

Other popular rides like Tower of Terror, Rock ‘n’ Roller Coaster, Millennium Falcon: Smuggler’s Run, Rise of the Resistance, and Mickey and Minnie’s Runaway Railway were still operating like normal!

Sheltering under a bridge!

If you can brave the rain, we highly recommend putting on a poncho and continuing with all your Disney plans! Don’t let a little moisture get in the way of your vacation.

EPCOT

EPCOT only had one ride down as well: Test Track!

Test Track Queue

Soarin’, Living With the Land, Frozen Ever After, Spaceship Earth, and others were all still operating. It’s important to note that a big draw of EPCOT is the World Showcase, where you can walk around to try different food and drinks and see cool architecture from countries around the world. This is still possible in the rain, but it can be a little more daunting and difficult!
