Do you need a poncho for Disney World?

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.

On a 90 degree Florida day, a nice quick soak might feel refreshing. With the heat, you also get dry faster. If you visit Orlando in the colder months and you ride a big splash ride at night, you might find yourself shivering just a bit. In these situations, ponchos might be more of a benefit.

But, if it is just a rainy day at Disney, the parks will remain open and no rain checks or refunds will be given.

Should I bring a small bag to Disney? Walt Disney World does allow guests to bring a bag with them to every attraction in the theme parks.
