The Walt Disney World Resort has measures in place to keep its Guests safe during all kinds of weather. However, we at Disney Fanatic would recommend Guests visiting Disney World, or Universal Studios, pack ponchos and have a plan to stay out of the rain–be it coordinating dinner plans during that time or choosing a long standby line over, say, taking to World Showcase for the Flower and . Guests should also prepare for outdoor attractions like Seven Dwarfs Mine Train to temporarily shut down due to lightning proximity as well as some flooding of the thoroughfares.
We will keep our eyes on the weather forecast and will update our readers as more information comes to light.
