Disney World Weather Closures Hit Magic Kingdom Hardest

Heading to Disney World in the summer months? Be prepared for bad weather. Central Florida gets a lot of rain during this time, and when there's lightning, ride closures are common across all parks.

The worst hit is Magic Kingdom, with eight rides closing due to lightning. EPCOT has one closed ride, Test Track, while Hollywood Studios' Slinky Dog Dash shuts down for bad weather.

Animal Kingdom has two rides affected, Expedition Everest and Kali River Rapids, but only five rides in the entire park makes wait times a problem when some are closed.

The example given was on August 6th, where many rides were closed due to rain and lightning. By checking the weather beforehand with a reliable radar app, visitors can plan around storms and make the most of their day.
