Just a passing storm. We are local (2 miles from the MK castle) and it was intense for about 15 minutes. Its pretty much passed through now and you should see things start up again.
I was wondering the same thing. It wasn’t just outdoor rides that are closed. At Epcot Soarin, Spaceship Earth, Test Track, FEA, and Mission Space are all showing closed currently.
We were at Animal Kingdom during the storm and yes, almost every ride (indoor and outdoor) was closed for a while. The storm came and went pretty quickly but it was a strong one.
We were in line for Test Track and the cast members announced lightning had hit a substation that knocked out power to the ride. Test Track would have to be reset and tested and the delay would be longer than just waiting out the storm. They gave us fast passes for the inconvenience.
