Be warned - they are cheap. Very easy to rip. But because they are so cheap, I would buy a couple of extras. You will still save money over what they cost in the parks.
I also get mine at the Dollar Store. $1.00 for a pack of two. I buy several packs and we wear them once or twice and then toss. It is really hard to fold up a bunch of wet ponchos and stuff them in the back pack once the storm has passed.

I get mine in the camping section of walmart as well. 88 cents apiece. I usually will not use one unless it's an actual rain. Sprinkles never hurt anyone (well unless you're the Wicked Witch anyway). I use to carry a ziplock to put the wet poncho back in, but then I figured out that I've never used more than one a day anyway and now I just carry one and toss it when I'm done. The only problem I've ever had with the cheap ones is that for some reason they don't fit my head well and they tend to slide off. in 2011 I just put my baseball cap on top. This year I just held the sides of the hood together the one time I actually had to put it on. I'm probably going to experiement with a clip for next time.
I bought some really nice Totes brand ponchos at Publix grocery store. They were about $5.99 but high quality, seem very similar to the hgh priced Disney ponchos and will certainly hold up better than the dollar store ones.
i got cheap ones at target in the camping section. i used this one one and had to toss it. it worked but moved a lot in high winds (i used it at the grand canyon in a rainstorm, oddly enough it didnt rain in disney prolly b/c i had a poncho). i also got a nice totes one at target in the women's accessory dept near the umbrellas.
Kroger had some Breast Cancer ponchos on clearance this week for a little over a dollar, they looked thick and much better than the dollar store ones, but well, can't get the hubby to wear a pink poncho. But for the girls it might be nice!
Thanks for all of the responses- looks like I should head to the camping section. We are planning to just use them on rides like Kali and splash. Thanks again!
