One thing I have learned to pack in my bag when heading to the parks is a PONCHO! It is not unlikely, depending on the time of year you visit “The World” to be caught in a down pour. Umbrellas can get in the way and are hard to maneuver through the crowds, especially when handling little ones. I purchase my family’s ponchos at a local $ Store or at Publix, which is ALWAYS a must stop on the way to our Magical Destination.

We always hit the dollar store and stock up. Luckily those cheap ones are tiny so you can always have one with you. In my case I need it for Splash Mountain (I swear that ride is out to get me).
LOL! I did the same thing once because my daughter insisted on sitting in the front of the log … the the soaking seat!
We have a collection of Disney ponchos! The kids and I went in September of 2012 and got caught in a HUGE downpour, which forced us to buy park ponchos. Then, my mom found our stash of “cheap” Disney ponchos (from Walmart) in her basement a few months ago. Needless to say, we’ve got PLENTY!
The first time I wanted to buy a poncho I couldn’t get myself to spend the $ ( at WDW) but one trip on our way to WDW we stopped at a near by Publix which had that cute pink one with Minnie for Rebekah.. that was years ago- we still have it! I think it was $5.00… So now you are stocked! – I actually didn’t know Walmart had them – but then again what don’t they have? ;)~Maureen
