Having a rain poncho is the way to go when you're making the trip to Disney World. Purchasing in advance will ensure that you are prepared and ready to go in the event of a pop-up rainstorm and will save you plenty of money in the long run.

To say it rains often in Central Florida is an understatement. While the cast members put out the ponchos and umbrellas as soon as the rain comes, being prepared beforehand will save you money and is much more convenient. Some prefer ponchos while others, like me, prefer umbrellas.
Most attractions will still run in the rain and characters have lots of clever spots to keep dry and continue to meet Guests. Bring an umbrella and if you have a stroller, an extra poncho or a rain cover will be necessary to keep it dry when you park it.
You'll want hands-free rain gear for yourself when you bring a stroller. Whether that is a poncho or raincoat is up to you. There are lockers in both parks, as well as in between the parks.
Lucky for us, ponchos are available for purchase at Disneyland if it starts to pour. Child-size ponchos go for $10 and adult-size ones for $12. But remember, Mirsa: prices and availability of these items are subject to change at any time.
Ponchos in the parks cost $10 each, and over the course of a vacation, that can really add up. We recommend taking a 10-pack of ponchos (or more) for your group. They're small and easy to throw in a backpack.
Disneyland in the Rain Park OperationsDisneyland Resort is open rain or shine and many guests still make it to the parks during the rain because they don't want to miss out on their vacation time. There are a few attractions that will close during rain, but many remain open and Genie+ still works in the rain too.
Yes, it is worth going to Disneyland in the rain to take advantage of extremely low crowds and wait times. Many locals will clear out of the parks during rain so the wait times will be very low.
You Can Bring a Backpack to Disney ParksWith the exception of a couple attractions, every ride at Disney will have a small pouch for you to stow your backpack, or space at your feet. Your trusty bag can take on all the adventures Disney has to offer with you!
I am happy to let you know that all Disney Resorts Collection hotels provide towels at all pools. If you are visiting one of the quiet pools and for some reason do not see towels, you can stop by the feature pool to pick up some there.
Floor-length Skirts or DressesMake sure your skirt doesn't come close to the ground! They also aren't ideal for going on rides, since different ride vehicles have configurations that aren't comfortable if you have a skirt or dress on. We DEFINITELY wouldn't wear a wedding dress to the parks!
We have seen flip flops prohibited on rides in some theme parks, so does Disney World have that rule? The answer is no. Disney World doesn't have any specific rules about what shoes can be worn and where — except for one!
Proper attire, including shoes and shirts, must be worn at all times. The parks are a casual, family-oriented environment. Ensuring that the parks are family-friendly is an important part of the Disney experience. In that spirit, we ask you to use your discretion and common sense.
Average Disney Parks, Experiences and Products Character Performer hourly pay in the United States is approximately $15.77, which is 41% below the national average.
You can buy bottled water throughout the parks; many vendors also sell Powerade. In the parks, bottled water runs about $3.50-$4, or if you're using the Disney Dining Plan you can pay with a snack credit. There are two places to get water for free: water fountains and Quick Service restaurants.
