Should you bring ponchos to Disney?

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.

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.

Ponchos… The rain can blow in and you are fighting the wind. Plus, umbrellas are intrusive to the people around you. Also, if it's a really rainy day you can just wear the poncho all day without having to hold your arm up in the air constantly.

We recently bought some ponchos for $9.00 (of course, that price is always subject to change). It's a bit expensive, so planning ahead and bringing your own could save you some money. I will say that the Disney ones are pretty high-quality and if taken care of, can be used over and over.

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.

While shoes must be worn, there is no specific footwear requirement for attractions within Walt Disney World Resort theme parks, although skates or shoes with wheels are prohibited. I have seen Guests wearing everything from basic flip-flops to stilettos. (Though I do not recommend either of those options!)

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!

Wear layers to the parks everyday. Bring a sweatshirt that is easy to stuff in a backpack or tie around your waist. Or a flannel works just as well! You will probably be seen by at least 25,000 people and you will be taking photos all day long. Don't confuse being comfortable with looking sloppy.

Disney sells high quality ponchos in every one of their shops in the parks for $9. Of course, you can buy a poncho for cheaper elsewhere if you know it is going to rain. If you would rather bring a raincoat along with you, that would also work in protecting against rain.

You Can Bring a Backpack to Disney Parks With 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 like to use a small backpack-style purse or cross-body bag when I visit the Walt Disney World theme parks. Many guests use drawstring-style bags, as well; however, I personally prefer something with separate pockets or compartments. I find it keeps my belongings organized and easy to locate.

Floor-length Skirts or Dresses Make 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!

Depending on what season you go to Disney World, you'll want either shorts or comfortable stretchy jeans/pants. Black leggings are a great go-to for comfort and durability. During the summer months, always opt for shorter bottoms. A note: You do not have to wear only pants/shorts to Disney world!

Frees up your arms: Since fanny packs are secured around your waist, your arms will be free to do other things. No need to remove it: Just sling your fanny pack to the side or your backside when taking a photo or entering an attraction. Disney allows guests to wear fanny packs during rides.

It's likely due to several variables. One factor is that people may be less interested in theme parks. From what we're seeing with our bookings, that pent-up demand has somewhat transitioned to cruises and Europe, Greg Antonelle, the co-owner of Florida travel agency MickeyTravels, told the Journal.
