Has anyone ever dealt with a complete WASH OUT with rain?
Trying to not to read too much into a 2 week out forecast, but Accuweather can project out our trip now (Days 1-6 of a 7 day stay) and the forecast is straight-up RAIN (not scattered/isolated/afternoon TStorms, but RAIN) for EVERY DAY!!
Don't mind an afternoon storm (in fact, I welcome it...we have ADRs most nights around 5, 530...aka, storm time), but will be severely disappointed with flat-out rain all day. Although I guess lines would be shorter? Waste of SAB, though...
We were there in August, 2008 for Tropical Storm Fay. THAT was a wash-out We were there for 7 days and it would fluctuate from torrential downpours to drizzle (even some periods of no rain at all) and tons of wind for the last 5 days of our 7 day trip WDW tried to accommodate their resort guests by adding early opening to certain parks in the event that they had to close any parks (there was wide-spread flooding in Orlando, but WDW fared ok) Ponchos were useless as the winds would just blow them up and the rain would pelt your clothes....
Even with the miserable weather, we had a fantastic trip! We still hit the parks and rode what we could...
Weather forecasts change so much, esp. if it's more than a few days out. I know when we were there a couple of weeks ago, I got all excited that the week-long forecast called for a mere 10-20% chance of thunderstorms. Once we were there, that changed to 40-60%, but we still only ended up with 2 afternoon/evenings of rain out of 7 days There's still hope!
