Rides where you get wet enough for a change of clothes

I'm planning on bringing a change of clothes and flip flops for Kali River Rapids and Splash Mountain. Are there any other rides in any of the parks that get you wet?
 
I don't think splash is necessary to change clothes unless you really hate to be somewhat wet.
Kali it really depends on your position when the raft goes down the hill, but better safe than sorry on that one.
Other than that you will get sprinkled on FEA, Pirates, Aladdin's carpet if the camels are working
 
This will be very subjective and based on your definition of "soaked". To me, the only ride in all the parks that can get you that wet is Kali. Even then, it's totally dependent on where you sit and where the boat hits the water. You'll either stay bone dry or you may get totally drenched. But that's the only ride in all WDW that has that capability.

Splash never really gets you that wet, IMO. Some people say Pirates does. I've been on that ride dozens and dozens of times and never had more than a few sprinkles or a small splash, nothing that would even remotely cause me to consider a change of clothes. FEA can give you a few drops of water too, but nothing of note.
 

I don't think so...Ive never felt the need to change after splash but if the bother of carrying around an extra set of clothes all day is less than the other of being wet for a little while I guess I could see the validity. A poncho is pretty easy to carry around and should keep you plenty dry enough on splash if you didnt want to carry extra clothes.
 
Splash Mountain really isn't that bad. You'll get damp but not wet enough where you're soaking. Kali however is more hit or miss so I would bring a change of clothes for that one.
 
Kali.
More necessary if you ride Kali more than once within a short period, and/or the weather is cold.

I’ve been on Splash where I literally looked like I’d jumped in a lake when I got off. I wish I’d had a change of clothes. I’ve also been on it and been completely dry afterward. There are several factors that go into how wet you do (or don’t) get on that ride. But yes, it’s possible to get completely drenched.
 
Easier to carry around a 99 cent poncho that spare clothes for everyone, IMHO. Plus, you may need the poncho anyway if it rains.

Whatever you prepare for, be prepared to be unprepared lol! I got absolutely SOAKED on POTC once, it totally depends on weight in the boat and luck.
 
I’d suggest the same as others here, just wear a poncho on any ride you’re likely to get really wet on. I wear one on Splash, Kali, and Pirates. FEA can be a kind of wet ride, although aside from one time when I was drenched after that ride (a fluke, I guess...still can’t figure out how that happened), the wet seat is usually the worst part (the bottom of the boat thingy usually is quite wet too). I just put a poncho on the seat and hold my backpack on my lap.
 
Kali is the only one I consider the weather before going on due to the potential of getting soaked. On hot days you are hoping to be in one of the soak seats, but if a cooler day have to think twice about going on.

The other rides mentioned I may have gotten a little wet at times, but never had the experiences others have stated of getting really wet on them.

I also usually wear sandals anyway, as the possibility of having to wear wet, squishy shoes the rest of the day is not appealing.
 
Another vote for dollar store poncho. It works great an you can save it, throw it out or donate it to someone waiting in line. Bring the flipflops, though, if you don't want your shoes to be wet.
 
I only get uncomfortably wet on Splash if the water cannons next to the big drop early in the ride time just right and drench the boat. It's pure luck on that one. A poncho would protect you against that one!
 
If we ride Kali river rapids we are always d ripping wet afterwards.

If I can't persuade my party not to ride-it's scheduled as the last ride in the park.

Btw-got a very very wet rear end first time on frozen ever after;
Never happened again though?!
