Considering Florida’s nickname is the “Sunshine State,” you might assume that the weather at Disney World is constantly sunny, perfect, and warm…but you’d be mistaken! 

Even outside of hurricane season, the weather at Disney World is notoriously unpredictable, and at times SEVERE. Such was the case today, when an actual “Severe Weather Warning” was issued for the area. And in case you were wondering what a day like that looks like at Disney, we have the videos and photos from Magic Kingdom to show you! 

While we always do our best to report weather news, and share tips for how to survive rainy days in the parks, it’s always possible to get caught TOTALLY off guard. Big storms can sometimes happen unexpectedly, and when they’re especially serious, you might receive a “Severe Weather Warning” alert on your phone like we did today! 

After a few drops started falling, the floodgates quickly opened and it became a full-blown torrential downpour in Magic Kingdom.

Tomorrowland looked awfully ominous, and eerily deserted! You can see how hard that rain is pounding down.

‘Twas definitely a WET walk to Tomorrowland!

People were quickly seeking shelter wherever they could find it!

The Lunching Pad, with its convenient overhang, suddenly became quite the hot spot!

Just a few puddles…

Kiosks were closed to shield themselves from the elements!

Crowds rapidly began flocking towards the exits by Main Street, U.S.A.!

The inside of Cinderella Castle was EASILY the most crowded spot — wonder why! 

Somehow, even in severe weather, Fantasyland always manages to look crowded… 

But no matter the weather, the castle NEVER ceases to stop us in our tracks! Even if that means our shoes are filling up with water. #worthit 

As we get closer and closer to summer, many more thunderstorms will be coming our way.

So, our shoes feel like water balloons, and many of the kiosks and attractions were inaccessible due to the rain, but that’s what you can expect from a severe weather day in Disney World! Check back with us for more updates from Disney World.
