rain jacket

[clori]

I'm going to WDW early May. I haven't been that time of year before and never needed rain coats. I was curious if I get disposable rain coats does it typically just rain one time a day so 1 a day is plenty? I'm thinking it will be too warm to want to carry around something reuseable and no young kids so no need for a stroller/backpack so thinking disposable rain jacket would be easy to throw in a purse.

I’ve never heard of a disposable rain jacket- do you mean a disposable poncho?

Rain can be off on so I would not plan on disposing of it until back at your hotel.

On Amazon you can get a 5 pack of disposable ponchos in several colors for $11 bucks. Take a couple in your backpack. They are small and light. If you use one throw it away because you have a spare in your backpack. I got these but there are many more choices.

I’ve gone early to mid May, there wasn’t a lot of rain. Not daily like summer. Watch the forecast before you go.

We've gone many times late April and early May, we even got married there in early May and I will say that it definitely rains and might do so a few times a day.

If you go the disposable rain poncho route, you may want to throw a couple in your purse per day. As PPs have mentioned, it's just unpredictable. It could rain once, multiple times or not at all. It may also be raining in MK but not in EP etc.

I’m cheap, so I bring a disposable and a ziplock bag. I shake it out and let it dry for a few minutes, then it goes in the bag. Reusing isn’t a problem.

Disposable ponchos are great to have for any type of outdoor activity. The ones they sell online are packed in a small bag so they don't take up much space and are ready to use when you need them. Your choice if you reuse them or toss in the trash once the rain stops. Also depends on what you might do when it rains. At Disney if it is going to rain for hours, most people leave the park and return to their hotel. For a brief shower, you can just do some indoor shopping or search out rides that are protected from the rain. Many of the outdoor rides also stop running if there is a bad storm in the area.

Last time we went in May, it only rained for a short period of time and then was sunny after that.

One of our May trips - it rained every single day except our arrival day.

I have started to take a very small umbrella with me at times (which bag am I taking, going out for a few hours vs. all day, chance of rain, etc.).
