Chance of rain 60%,” and on Sunday, “Considerable cloudiness with occasional rain showers. Thunder possible. High 84F. Winds ESE at 5 to 10 mph. Chance of rain 60%.”

When it’s not raining, Guests planning on a long day outside–be it walking around world showcase at EPCOT or trekking around the lands of Disney’s Animal Kingdom–should be prepared for hot, muggy Florida weather. The forecast shows highs in the mid-to-upper 80s with over 60% humidity.
In regards to crowd forecast, though, it appears to be a half-and-half weekend with Park Reservations available for all four Theme Parks (Magic Kingdom, EPCOT, Disney’s Hollywood Studios, and Disney’s Animal Kingdom) currently available as of 9:30 pm ET on April 29, all but only EPCOT stands available for Sunday, May 1.
