For those who go bagless, what is your rain strategy?

the ponchos make it so much worse in my opinion

They really, really do. That's why we got those itty bitty umbrellas. We only deal with them if we have to. If it's a day long rain we have light rain jackets but we have been thankful to have our umbrellas for a downpour. We were able to get out of the park and and move around while others were waiting undercover. It's not particularly pretty when my pink hair gets wet so running around in the rain is not something I do if I can help it. Got stuck in a downpour on Splash Mountain (of all rides) last year and it was hilarious

I take a small ziplock bag with me to put my phone in if it starts to rain. If the rain is relentless, then I spring for a poncho.

It depends, if the forecast is for all day gully washers, I have a long clear plastic rain coat with a hood I wear. If it is summer/fall and I know there is going to be afternoon showers, I'll usually carry one of those tiny umbrellas, mine comes in a cover and has a strap that I can hook onto belt loops if I have them, then when it gets wet it can go back in it's cover and not get me wet. I don't like walking around wet because I get cold easy and going in and out of the air condition really gets me, it gets me on a regular day, much less being wet. I always wear sandals that can get wet, I'm not a tennis shoe wearer so I just bring 3 or 4 pairs of sandals and switch out. If it's just a quick shower and I didn't bring anything in, we will either duck in a store or just walk around in it if its a light one. I have been known to buy a Disney poncho, I must own at least 10 of them. I tried the cheap throw away ones that would fit in a pocket and got wetter with one of those on than without and had a hard time keeping the thing down over my shorts so it wasn't worth it.

Hefty bag poncho! Are scissors allowed through security?

I don't bother. But I do bring a hand towel as it is useful.

We cram those Dollar Tree ponchos into our pockets. Most of the time we don't even use them, and jump into a shop or queue instead

You need to be aware though that Disney won't allow you to stand near the entrance of any store. You will need to go in and shop, or they will move you back outside.
