We always pack flip flops when we go to AK and change into them and put our sneakers in the bottom of the stroller. We also grab our ponchos and put them on when we get close to the front of the line. Last time I was 2 ponchos short (I thought the ones from the dollar tree were a 3 pack, but were only a 2 pack) and DH and I had to halfway share with the kids. We definately got soaked. Would have anyway since our side of the boat got the good soaking all the way down our backs and into our seats. Wont be riding next time since it will be the end of Dec. and this past time I was so uncomfortable after getting off and having wet clothes for so long.
