Question about rain in Orlando Florida?

Question

I'm going to Disney World on Wednesday, and will be staying about three days. My fiancee and I had an international trip planned, and that fell through at the last minute. Bummed that we were not going to get our vacation, we decided to make a spur of the moment Disney trip (we live in North Carolina). Well, caught up in our excitement for Disney World, we were stupid enough not to check the weather...and now that I'm looking at it, thunderstorms are predicted for all week.

Anyway, my question is about weather in Orlando. I still plan to go (hell, it's Disney. There are lots of things to do even if it rains!), but I was wondering if we were completely out of luck for the outdoor rides and stuff (Test Track and Mt. Everest are my FAVORITE!).

I had heard that Florida gets a surprising amount of rain this time of year, but it typically moves in and out pretty quickly. I was wondering if this is true, and if there is a chance we will still be able to enjoy the outdoor rides that would otherwise be closed during a storm.

Thank you!

Make sure to arrive as soon as the park opens and do any outdoor rides first.. Generally, Florida does have thunderstorms just about every afternoon this time of year. Usually though, they don't tend to roll in until later afternoon and are usually gone by evening. 
If you miss out on getting on any outdoor rides before the afternoon thunderstorms, you may still get a chance in the evening, but, may not be something you want to gamble with depending on what times the parks close. 
If you arrive right when the park opens, you should have plenty of time to get on the outdoor rides before the thunderstorms in the afternoon..

It rains in the afternoon hard for like 20 minutes and than it clears. Drink lots of water. Were setting records for warmest days and the warmest June and July.
