Orlando Rainy Day Fun

Since we are having rain for the next 10 days or more, I figure that now is as good a time as any to share rainy day activities, some of which I enjoy in Orlando, and usually suggest to my hotel guests.  I hope you find these useful.

Theme Parks

If you are short on time in Orlando and absolutely have to attend a theme park, these are the best ones to visit on a rainy day:

• Disney's Hollywood Studios - Various indoor shows and attractions like Voyage of the Little Mermaid and Rock 'n' Rollercoaster.
• Universal Studios Orlando - Various indoor shows, 3D attractions, and rides like Despicable Me Minion Mayhem and Revenge of the Mummy rollercoaster.
• Sea World - Various indoor show and attractions like Pet's Ahoy and Turtle Trek.

These parks also have outdoor attractions which may temporarily close in severe weather, but you'll at least find various indoor attractions that will continue regardless of the weather outside.  Also keep in mind that you will still need to walk, outdoors, from one attraction to the other.

Do you have your theme park tickets?

If not, you can order them ahead of time at www.OrlandoOfficialTicketCenter.com
