agenda for WDW with 2 wheelchairs if it's rainy

[Artemis Fowl]

We have family friends that are going to WDW on a Make-a-wish trip next week (about 11/13-11/18/2023). They are concerned about all the rain in the forecast.
What suggestions does everyone have for dealing with this situation? What are the shows/character visits/rides?/activities that they should ty to plan to do at each park if it's raining and they have 2 wheelchairs to deal with? Both of the wheelchair bound kids cannot walk at all, even with assistance and one of the kids cannot even sit without assistance, so I don't think very many rides are an option.

Thanks in advance for your suggestions.

Just put on ponchos and keep going. Wheelchairs don't melt, or at least mine hasn't yet.

Most rides run in the rain. You'll want to review whatever info you're given. Many attractions require transferring. A few including Small World allow guests to stay in their wheelchair.

If it's really rainy, they could ride the monorail and look at the Christmas decorations at the monorail resorts.

Any ride, attraction, meet-n-greet or show that is indoors will still run if it’s raining.

The bigger issue would be if queues extend outdoors under the rain, but Wish kids should be OK; the pass they are given will help with queues.

They will need ponchos to cover the kiddos, and you just run between buildings. Yes, you might get a little wet, but Disney World in the rain is still Disney World - just a little bit… damper.

Be sure to have the family read this post - it’s an FAQ that will help answer all their questions.

Make sure you try that poncho at home to see how much it covers. My Dh who used a wheelchair (now scooter) at Disney was surprised how wet he got using a poncho. A poncho lays differently on a person sitting vs standing. Of course, you don’t want it so big that it gets caught in wheels.
