While the sun is often shining upon the Disneyland Resort, we do have a rainy day now and then. If you think damp weather puts a damper on a day at Disneyland, think again! Here are our tips for enjoying the parks in the rain.

Pack that Poncho…
…or grab one when you get here! Many Disneyland Resort merchandise locations offer ponchos and umbrellas. If you don’t see them on the shelves, just ask a cast member.

  • Rainy days are perfect for eating soup in a bread bowl at both Disneyland and Disney California Adventure Park. My family loves the Clam Chowder and Broccoli and Cheese soups from the Pacific Wharf Cafe at Disney California Adventure Park. I love the vegetarian gumbo from Royal Street Veranda at Disneyland. Yum! Bring on the rain!

  • I once read a sign on a rainy day at Disneyland…… “Into everyone’s life a little rain must fall. Today’s your lucky day! Best day for me.

  • As someone who loves Disneyland in the rain, I’d add this:. Ride Grizzly River Run or Splash Mountain. It sounds counter-intuitive, but they’re surprisingly fun in the rain.
