Best places in Epcot to spend time when it rains
It’s probably going to rain during your Disney trip. It’s Florida. It rains just about every day in Florida. My favorite park for rainy Disney days is an easy one. EPCOT. Epcot is easily our favorite park overall. During our trips most days end in Epcot. Here are my favorite places to hide out during a Disney rainstorm.
Epcot has a ton of indoor rides. And not just indoor rides, indoor spaces around those rides. The Land is one of my favorite places to hide out in a rain storm. The Land has two rides (Soarin’ Around the World and Living with the Land), a movie (Awesome Planet) and a place to eat. You could easily spend an hour or two in here and not be bored. Sunshine Seasons is the quick service in the land and has a ton of tasty options.
If someone in your party has an ECV they will be able to bring it inside and there are a ton of places to plug it in to charge while you roam around the land. Also when it’s raining you are able to bring your stoller up to the front doors. While they are still kept outside they are under a roof and less likely to be completely soaked when you come back outside.
The Seas. The Seas is also a great place to spend time when it’s raining. There is no food option here but you have a ride, a show, an aquarium, a place space and a gift shop. This is also a great idea in the afternoons in the heat of the summer. The Seas with Nemo and Friends is great for little kids. There’s also Turtle Talk with Crush which is a super cute show. Again, you could easily spend an hour or two inside here.
Mexico in the World Showcase. This is my son’s favorite ride (he’s 4). He calls it the “Donald Ride”. The Gran Fiesta Tour is a slow moving boat ride that rarely has a wait longer than 5 minutes. There is also a restaurant in Mexico. My favorite place inside the Mexico Pavillion is La Cava del Tequila. The blood orange Margarita is my favorite.

There are a ton of indoor places in World Showcase at Epcot but the three above have the most indoor things to do in case of a longer rain storm. We have run into Remy or Frozen when it has rained but if you don’t have Lightening Lanes for those rides you are likely to be stuck out in the rain for a few minutes while you wait. You can find plenty of cover in a variety of places in Epcot. Just a warning though. Try not to be between China and Germany if it’s going to rain. I’ve been there as a rain storm has started and there is no place to get cover. I’ve been completely soaked as I have walked the short distance between Germany and China.
What do you think? Where do you hide out when it’s raining?
