Remember "It rains every day in Florida" is a very different thing from "a rainy day" up north. Our rain usually consists of intermittant showers with sunshine in the intervals, not the all day drip our northern neighbors "enjoy". Wear rain friendly clothing (NOT cotton jeans or cotton sox or canvas sneakers) and bring a poncho, and you should be fine. Actually, rain diminishes the crowding and could work to your advantage.

Try to have most of your outdoor fun during the earlier parts of the day. The rain usually comes when the day heats up good, 4 pm or after, if it comes at all. It might come earlier, but not too often, usually. So have your fun early and plan for an indoor option later, like an arcade, mall, or inside certain attractions at theme parks. My personal advice is to plan some days where you all unwind in your room with card games or board games. It encourages family time and de-stresses from the wildness of the day. Still, if it doesn't rain, you can keep on enjoying whatever you're doing! Have fun!

It rains everyday in florida for a couple of hours either in the morn or afternoon. Trust me I know I live a couple of hrs away from Orlando.

That's normal for Florida - it rains or storms every day (usually in the afternoon). You are doing the right thing by keeping up with the forecast - just be prepared for all types of weather and enjoy yourself!! God bless!

Yes but they are not a big deal the roll in fast in the afternoon (between 2p - 4p) drop some water and roll out just as fast. When a shower comes just go inside and eat and enjoy because it cools down the temp for you.

It depends because today was actually very nice. Just keep checking the forecast and plan your to-do's accordingly (indoor things in the afternoon because of rain & outdoor things in the morning) Florida is very unpredictable but I hope you have a good time!

The weather forcasts are usually wrong. Don't worry. They will probably change, but there is a hurricane forming around there, so you may experience some thunderstorms.

Here's the NWS's forecast page for Orlando:

It only goes out 7 days, but forecasts beyond 7 days are pretty worthless anyway...

Yeah, but its usually in the afternoons. Today was gorgeous however. I wouldn't be too worried, just stay tuned to the weather.

You need to think positive, if it rains, late in day, over with. Live on the West Coast, balmy, just have a great time.
