PS - flights were good, hotel was nice.  We ate well.  Stayed healthy.  Very much to be grateful for. 

I heard about this.  Were you able to enjoy any of the park?  I went to Disneyland and California Adventure more than 10 years ago.  I had fun and enjoyed the differences between those parks and the Florida parks. 

We still had a lot of fun.  But the rain made it pretty exhausting after a while. 

I've been to the Florida parks when it has rained.  The difference is that in FL, it rains HEAVY for a while and then stops.  This rain was different...it was heavy and never stopped.  While we had fun still, it was sobering to think that there was flooding in the area.  Hopefully, everyone in the area and their property are all ok. 

 

I'm glad that you made it safely and enjoyed the trip.  It's so rare to have this type of rain in Southern California that it would be impossible to plan around.  I authorized my staff to tele-work through today regardless of their schedules (we've remained hybrid since COVID.)  We're definitely waterlogged after several straight days of heavy rain. 

Awww man, sorry Rick. I am glad you still had fun, I mean that's the way to be, right? Accept the circumstance and don't let it stop you! Don't let it rain on your parade....er....well you get what I'm saying 😁

Exactly.  We were together, we were adjusting and managing.  It could have been much worse!  We saw several people that were very upset about it to the point of tears.  It is understandable, but what can you do?  Roll with the punches, baby. 

 

Yep, roll with the punches it is when it comes to rain during a visit to these parks.  I went for the Food and Wine Festival in EPCOT and it started to rain and it just didn't stop.  I put on my poncho and walked around to see what I could.  Since the rain was not relenting, I decided to see if I could get into the Space Restaurant.  Sure enough, there was a short line and I was able to get in in 30 minutes.  Had a nice time in "space" and when I left, the rain had stopped.  By then, most people had left the park due to the rain, so there were no lines on the rides and I was able to still enjoy the rest of the festival.  🙂
