Most people go home or wait in line for indoor shows etc..that will take a long time. We do the opposite!! Hop in the ride lines (Esp. ones like Splash that is indoors and out) most outdoor rides will only close if it's lightening.
I agree with this 100% - Disney when it rains is AWESOME!!! The heavy shower will scare away lots of people, and by the time it stops half an hour later, you have much much shorter lines for everything!

Splash Mtn is particularly awesome when it's raining...people automatically think "ew it's raining, I don't want to ride that" but it's so perfect! The line gets much shorter and you barely notice the rain because it doesn't feel any different from the rest of the "wetness" you get on the ride!

Don't worry, you will have a wonderful trip, rain or not. In Florida I have never experienced rain for longer than 30 minutes at a time - no joke! And even if it's cloudy or ominous, that's a blessing...less beating sun and it has the potential to make more people stay indoors.
