Do you need a poncho for Splash Mountain?

Splash Mountain is known for its famous drop that looks over the Magic Kingdom and Kali River Rapids has it drops and waterfalls that are known to get people soaked. If you were to wear a poncho, these would probably be the two that I would suggest. These rides are more focused on their famous drops and spills.

Bring a dry stash of clothes or a towel. Some people (aka, ME) have been known to dry off (as if that was even possible) with the hand dryers and paper towels/tissues in the girls room. That was awkward. Think ahead and stash a set of clothes in one of those trusty waterproof zip top bags!

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.

Sneakers or water like sneakers would be the most appropriate. DO NOT wear heels or sandals. I saw a lot of sandals break and feet slipping around in them. Being on your feet all day you really need to be smart for your feet.

Sandwich bags and spare plastic bags are also useful to keep your stuff dry – and to separate the wet from dry after the rain. You can change to your flip flops or water shoes when it starts raining, keeping your shoes and socks in your backpack, plastic bag or locker.

Jurassic Parks drop is more intense, and way more scary! Most of the drop is in the dark, so it feels really long. The drop in Splash is like 2 seconds, and is nowhere near as bad as in steepness or height.

But I want to reiterate, Splash Mountain is very tame. The only thrill is the drop at the end and it only lasts about one second. So, unless your child is particularly skittish and really scared of most things, I don't see that there would be a problem.
