It seems USH has raised the bar a little on rainchecks...
Not that Disney needs to over this sort of thing, but it's interesting that one park has gone this direction.

Universal Studios Hollywood's New 'Umbrella Policy'
Singin' In The Rain' Is a Glorious Feeling With World's First-Ever Theme Park Guaranteed Rain Check
PR Newswire
Universal City, Calif. Universal Studios Hollywood removes the barometer from the theme park equation as it introduces its new "Singin' In The Rain" insurance policy to guests and becomes the world's first theme park to offer a guaranteed rain check.
Beginning immediately, all guests visiting Universal Studios Hollywood on a day when the park receives over 1/16" of rainfall will be offered a rain check good any time in the ensuing 30 days.
"Although our park is a great value, rain or shine, and many of our attractions are indoors and sheltered from the elements, a theme park visit is unquestionably more fun in good weather. By introducing our new rain check policy, we can guarantee our guests will have a great entertainment experience," said Larry Kurzweil, president and chief operating officer, Universal Studios Hollywood.
Featuring such unique and ground-breaking attractions as Terminator 2: 3D, Jurassic Park-The Ride, "The Nickelodeon Blast Zone," the world-renowned behind-the-scenes Studio Tour and opening this spring, the new "Special Effects Stages," Universal Studios Hollywood is the world's largest movie studio and theme park.
Universal Studios Hollywood (www.universalstudioshollywood.com) is a unit of Universal Studios (www.universalstudios.com), a part of CANAL+, the TV and Film division of Vivendi Universal, a new global leader in media and communications.
