OK...for those of you who are curious about current weather conditions, here's an update. Apparently, the rains have a predictible pattern & now, I remember this from the last time I lived here. It rains EVERY day. Usually, it starts between 3:00-4:00 & runs for anywhere from 1-2 hours. Today, it started a little early, but oh well...close enough. My suggestion? Use this time to do indoor shopping, dining or possibly other non-WDW indoor attractions (Wonder Works, Titanic, Ripley's, etc.). I swear, I'm going to be boating to work soon.

Thanks for the tip about the weather. We have always gone in the spring or summer and have had really bad weather only two times. We are taking our rain ponchos with us. See you real soon!:)

What is Titantic? What are some other non-disney attractions that are worth the trip in Orlando. I started a thread a few weeks ago wondering if anyone had any suggestions for my parents to go to while we are at Disney next May, but no one replied to my question. We will be there for 8 days, but they only want to do Disney on 4 of those days.

Thanks for any help you can send my way....!:)
