Put on the poncho and find a place out to hide for a few minutes it will pass....

Yep. Just wear a poncho for Monday and have a good time. Some of the rides won't go during heavy rain, but most things will keep right on running.

Think of it this way... would you rather be at WDW during thunderstorms, or at work during thunderstorms.

Go to an attraction first that will have an indoor queue and is an indoor ride/show (pretty much anything but Splash, BTMRR, CoP (outdoor queue,) Tea Cups, Dumbo or Cinderella's Golden Carousel.

Step inside a shop (they are all over of course) and try not to buy anything!

If you can, go to DHS on a rainy day, a lot of the attractions are indoor. Embrace the poncho and don't be afraid of getting wet. In fact, play in some rain. Another plus about rainy days is the crowds go down in the park. Don't let a little rain ruin your day!
-
Since they are saying only a 40% chance of thunderstorms, don't worry. This time of year we get the passing storm and it's over quickly. Buy a poncho, if it is a thunderstorm, go indoors. Florida is pretty brutal when it comes to lightning and people outdoors.
Your attention please, the Walt Disney World Railroad is now boarding for a trip around the Magic Kingdom

Poncho all the way. Shop or go into a building. But I had some real concerns when we went in 2008. They were telling us that morning on the news that tornados would be possible and probable. So of course Texas born and raised in it was terrified of them and when we hit main street there was a older Cm standing on the curb near a store and I had to ask him. IF a tornado hits or is coming what or where do we go. He told me.... Mamm you don't worry about a thing. There are doors and places all over this park that will open up and we will assist you in going down underground to be out of harm. Go have a great day and do not worry. WELL.... then all I could do is look and see the nearest duck in place never could figure it out but I sure trusted him...One did hit about a mile outside the park. But I guess we had the hands of God protecting us in the Magic Kingdom.

Don't foret to pack extra shoes in case of getting caught in a storm! Last year we got caught in a huge downpour on our first day there. Our gymshoes were wet for 2 days. With the humidity in Florida, they took forever to dry.

Remember that a lot of shops are connected on the inside, a great way to get from one end of Main St or down the beginning of DHS on the inside. Also, as for shoes, stuffing them with paper towels, newspaper, or washclothes at night really helps **** the moisture out! Be careful of flip flops, though, because they can be very slippery!!!!
Star light, star bright,
first star I see tonight.
I wish I may, I wish I might,
have the wish, I wish tonight.
We'll make a wish, and do as dreamers do,
and all our wishes,
will come true.

I Echo everyone else and say throw on a Poncho and wear sandles and have fun splashing in the puddles while everyone else runs for cover. We don't get thunderstorms in Vancouver BC where I am from so we always just stay out and watch the storm...

It's the WDW newbie again that is coming May 29th and I'm confused about the ponchos. I get that there is going to be rain but don't you get very hot in a plastic poncho?

When it's pouring rain you don't worry too much about getting hot. Just take it off when the rain stops because then, yes, it can get very hot. Also, when you're going at the end of May is the start of the sea breeze thunderstorm season where almost every afternoon a thunderstorm fires up (between 3-5 pm). You do NOT want to walk around in these thunderstorms as they are very heavy on lightning. Just find a place to chill for 30ish minutes until it passes.

Even better then a poncho is for you to invest in a quality rain coat, because they actually breathe and allow you to be comfortable in hot rain.
-
As said above, Unless it is lightening, grab a poncho and go. The crowds die down, lines are shorter, and the rain will cool you off.
