Well, if we're just looking for someplace to stay dry while it's raining, there's nothing like a place where you can wet your whistle.

Among the worst was a downpour when we were at one of the BC area hotels and had a World Showcase ADR. We had no choice but to walk all the way in heavy rain.
A second bad one was a time a member of my family slipped on wet pavement trying to make a bus on the first day of our trip. It was barely raining, but the fall on the sidewalk caused a large cut and a sore ankle that lasted several days.
Best is probably while sleeping at the hotel.
A funny one was back when they projected photos on the castle. WDW said they were daily photos, but it rained that WHOLE day. In all the real photos, people had the wet rat look. About half the photos though were CLEARLY taken on a sunny day, featuring highly photogenic families. It was funny.
(Early 7DMT Photopass videos had the same kinda thing if you rode it after dark: you'd get a video that was half you/night footage and half daytime footage.)

I hate quoting myself, but Rinx's response proved me wrong. I've been caught on the outside loop on Test Track during a downpour and it was pretty rough. I totally forgot about it until I read this.
The best downpour I was ever caught on ride was at Six Flags Great America when I was about 15 years old on the old Iron Wolf coaster which is gone now. It had already rained really hard for about 20 mins, but Iron Wolf was the only ride still going for some reason. My best friend and I got on with his older brother and rode it. When we came back into the station there wasn't a line for the ride due to the continuous downpour, so the attendant let us go 5 times straight, stopping us before each one to see if anyone wanted to get off. Not one person did.
That was a fun coaster without the rain, but soaking wet was a blast since we were already sopping wet on a steamy day...
