Wrapping it up
Although I see the sun peeking its way through the clouds as I write this, keep DisneyQuest open as an option in case you don’t want to spend a rainy Florida day dodging rain drops. It is a great way to have a lot of fun, while still enjoying that Disney magic. And as the saying goes here in Florida, if you don’t like the weather, just wait a while and it will change.
