One of my favorite experiences was with my daughter a few years back. Everyone had left but us and we rode the Matterhorn at midnight. Three times! The last trip we pulled off our hoods and just let the rain beat on us. Good times. |

Totally.
Also not a big fan of wet collars (drives me nuts), so in the rain I spend more time protecting my neck than anything else (that, and my shoes...puddles, UGH!).
I also enjoy going to the parks in the rain. Love it when the crowds thin out, and it's just as much fun if not more imho. The only downside is that all the outdoor shows get canceled. That's a bummer.
Sorry to go off topic a bit, but I gotta say that on overcast days or rainy days..for some reason, DisneySea looks even cooler (something to do with the park having a bit of a "dark" vibe to begin with, with the giant volcano and all that). |

There was a story on one of these sites, probably LP, of a couple who went to DL on a rainy day. He sat in NOS and didn't see another person for 20 minutes. Talk about having DL to yourself. |

Then it clears up, but enough of the day is gone that attendance STAYS low. So you end up with a nice sunny afternoon and dry evening, but minimal crowds.
I've been lucky enough to have a day like that on each of my last few trips. It rocks. |
