Which park if it rains?

[ewasilau]

What do you do in the rain with 3 kids, all under age 5? Is any park better than the others (i.e., has more indoor attractions) in case we have a rainy day? We're doing just a 5 night trip and have 4 full days (and one almost full day), so we won't want to spend a whole day hiding out in our resort (which is AKL - anything to do in the rain there?) . . . . I just checked the 10-day forecast and am a little concerned that our first day in WDW calls for rain . . . (though that day is over a week away).
Oh - and the kids wouldn't have any idea what to do in an arcade (they're too young), so that's not an option.

Epcot by far IMO.

[ParkMan]

Yep - ditto that - Epcot.

I've found that the larger pavilions, longer shows, large number of shots in World Showcase make it a good place to stay out of the rain.

That said - we've found that it's quite possible to brave the rain. All of the parks have enough indoor activities that you can have a very enjoyable day with a good raincoat.

Epcot has a lot of indoor attractions in the future world area. Though some parts of World Showcase preferably need good weather. Animal Kingdom is probably the one with the most outoors stuff so probably best to save for a nice day.

You could always do a waterpark on the basis you'll be getting wet anyway. Though we never tried this so I'm not sure if it works.

Weather at WDW seems to change quickly though, even if you get a storm it seems to blow over fairly quickly and you can go back to what was going on.

absolutely EPCOT!

[DisneyGlutton]

Epcot for the reasons mentioned above and then MK b/c a lot is packed in a small space. Depending on how heavy the rain is though, I agree that it is worth braving no matter where you are as it'll thin out the ride queues (though the shows and such will probably be more crowded).

Epcot,

even if you go around the world, Most attractions are inside

I prefer MK because of the above mentioned thinning of the lines. We were at MK one year in Jan. when it rained and we had complete roam over the entire park. No lines on any rides, it was a blast.

Another vote for Epcot

[jensantuit]

I would say with the ages of your children MK would be the place to be. In Sept we had a rainy day at MK and we just put on our ponchos and had a great time (with a DS 4 and DS 2). There are a lot of inside rides in Fantasyland, there's the Country Bears, the Tiki Room, POTC I could go on. I would invest in some pochos and maybe a stroller rain cover. We got lots of comments on ours last year, asking where we got them. They were a life saver. The weather changes so quickly down there that hopefully you will be pleasantly surprised with no rain. Have fun.

[Cheloconnell]

A vote for MK. We have been there several times with the kids in the rain. It practically clears out. It is the only real time we can do Fantasyland in about a hour hopping from ride to ride. The lines are practically none and most rides are walk on's, so if you are looking to get a lot done with the kids, this is the place

Because of the ages of your kids, I would say MK. You would be outdoors between attractions but there's more to do to keep the kids' interest there. Epcot is great too but it would probably not keep the kids occupied nearly as well and a number of the FW indoor attractions may not be appropriate for children the ages of yours. DHS would be my third choice and I'd avoid AK all together unless it's just a light drizzle - not much is covered there and it's long distances between what is. I highly recommend a stroller covers - we had one and it was an absolute lifesaver a number of times and my DDs liked that it was clear so they could sit all warm and dry and still see where they were going.

If you really want to stay dry go to epcot every single attraction is inside. If you don't mind getting wet go to another park and hope for smaller lines

[Figaro]

I always tell people wear a swimsuit to the parks. It's Florida, it rains every day. While everyone else is huddled under cover, wear a swimsuit, get wet, and enjoy the empty park. I always wear my swimsuit and sometimes a rash guard under my shirt. If it rains, I put my shirt in my backpack and keep on trekking with a rash guard on. Also... MK would probably be your best bet. You can hop rides one next to each other and navigate thru shops.

[Imagineer1981]

but with Kids, Epcot could also be the most boring place on Earth for the kids. I think MK is always good

[jakeybake]

I would also say MK too.

[jakeybake]

or epcot because there are a lot of indoor rides

[Pop Centurion]

I think MK would be best also because of the kids.
As mentiomed, Epcot may be too boring for them.

[cindchan]

I'm putting my vote in for Epcot as well. Most of the rides are indoors. and World Showcase is just enjoyable to walk around.
