This assumption would be right, as the temperatures in the Sunshine State can reach some incredible highs while also being pretty susceptible to rain. In the summer, it is common to see rain every day, and with it, a ton of flooding in the Parks due to the uneven grounds. Speaking of rain, last night at the Walt Disney World Resort, the Parks got completely flooded due to the heavy rain which happened yesterday.
There were tons of videos and images posted online about the flood that happened last night, which you can check out below. Nicholas Card (@JackJohnCard) posted a few videos of Disney’s Hollywood Studios:

As you can see, all of the walkways at Hollywood Studios were flooded with at least four inches of water. On TikTok, PagingMrMorrow (@pagingmrmorrow) shared a few clips of Hollywood Studios as well, calling it “the best day ever”:

In response to Scott Gustin (@ScottGustin), Kelly KACHOwski (@wdwkelly) posted another video which you can see just how deep the water was:

Hollywood Studios wasn’t the only Park affected, as EPCOT also saw tons of rain. Twitter user @MadAbtDisney posted this video at the International Gateway:

This isn’t the first time we have seen floods at the Disney Parks, as drainage seems to be a problem. Sometimes the water gets so bad that Guests can swim right in the middle of Magic Kingdom. While for some, this may add to the magic of being at Disney, others would prefer to stay dry while at the Parks.
Not to mention the fact that some rides like Test Track at EPCOT and Big Thunder Mountain at Magic Kingdom do not operate under heavy weather conditions, such as thunderstorms.
Have you ever seen it flood at the Disney Parks like this? Let us know in the comments below.
Let the expert team at Academy Travel help you plan your next magical vacation to Disney World’s water parks, four theme parks — Magic Kingdom, EPCOT, Disney’s Animal Kingdom, and Disney’s Hollywood Studios — and the Disney Springs shopping and dining district!
While you are at Disney’s Hollywood Studios, you can enjoy Tower of Terror and Rock ‘n’ Roller Coaster Starring Aerosmith on Sunset Boulevard. By the Chinese Theater, Guests prepare to ride Mickey & Minnie’s Runaway Railway. In Toy Story Land, Slinky Dog Dash always boasts a long line with others shooting their shot on Midway Mania or spinning their brains out on Alien Swirling Saucers. Of course, you have to visit Star Wars: Galaxy’s Edge for some blue milk or green milk and ride Rise of the Resistance and Smuggler’s Run!
