Things to do at Disney When it "POURING RAIN" out.

Things to do at Disney while it's pouring rain out and they are closing the attractions for lighting outages.

Well now you've done it, you've went to "Walt Disney World" in their "RAIN SEASON", yes folk's, we here call it the "TROPICS" for a reason, why? because we stay beautiful here 365 days a year, but we have to put up with this little known season called "RAIN" season, otherwise known as "HURRICANE" season to us locals, and we prepare like anyone else who has been through one or two of these. 
 I personally have 6 of them under my belt, but that is a story for another time, most locals will stock up on some water , we don't give to birds nest whats in the fridge anyway because we eat out so much, now "Cash", you bet, there is a heavy run on Banks and bank machines down here when one of those buggers are coming our way, and you guessed it, there is a constant stream of "TANK- TOPPER OFFERS" at the gas stations across the Florida Region when one is on the approach as well.
 Now me, I like to hoard a small amount of comfort food and a great movie or two, so I'll go to block buster at the last minute and clean them out of some good titles , make my token stop to the booze store< oh yeah kiddies, these storms are worth a bottle of Bourbon you bet ya. Gentleman do prefer Blonde's and so it's said a great Blond Bourbon to sip on and sooth the nerves is "Crown Royal" my personal Favorite.
 After my provisions have been acquired, I head back to the Condo and Tuck in, now for you guys stuck at the parks hoping the rain is going to stop, forget about it.
There is so much more to Disney then sunshine and fairy dust,now in the rain head straight for the exits at the parks, here's why, why put up with delays of your valuable vacation time, when there is so much more to see then standing in lines of people with sweaty rain ponchos on trying to spark up some remnants of conversation while it's blistering you with rain the size of quarters for goodness sakes, when you can be inside one of the most beautiful resorts on the planet. While the kiddies are playing games in the Game room, you and momma are up in the bar getting your drink on and having fun staying dry laughing at all the "TOURISTS" who are getting soaked and thinking back at this little pearl of wisdom, when in doubt get out, if you think the rain is going to last or not? head for the door, oh by the way not so fast! You paid  for that day did you not? now here is the fun part, go into guest relations and demand a refund or a rainy day pass which covers your next days admission, now even if you bought a tour package which covers all your days there if one of those days ends suddenly do to a rain out you get refunded , repeat after me , rain out equals refund, this will help comfort the rain out and pay for those drinks and those tokens in the game room for the kiddies. Oh and that resort, when you head out the front gates at Disney's Magic Kingdom if your there, then head straight for the resorts monorail as that is the one that will take you to any resort you'd like to enjoy for that period of time it is raining which may be for the day or may even just be 45 minutes like most of our showers during this time of year.
Make it a Great Day!
