Speaking of rain...

How do you keep your family from getting lost in the sea of ponchos in the rain? Someone on here mentioned a sea of yellow ponchos and now I am on a mission to find unique ponchos for all of us so we don't get lost. Considering using a Sharpie to draw a pic on the back of my DSs heads. Anyone have any ideas?

Disneys rain ponchos are now a clear plastic. They use to come in yellow. We have never had a problem finding each other in the rain. I really like the idea of taking a sharpie to the back of sons head. That made me chuckle this am.

We always assume we are going to hit rain on our vacation- so we buy our ponchos at Target, Walmart or some other place for a fraction of the price. These tend to be blue, green, hooded- so they stand out among the sea of Mickey Mouse, Shamu and Universals that you will encounter.

Also- remember to bring extra shoes! When it rains- especially in the spring/sumer/fall- it POURS and the streets flood quickly- nothing worse than spending the rest of the vacation in wet shoes- the humidity really prevents drying and the heat in the dryers is well- warm at best.

I recommend the Disney ponchos. They are heavier and don't cling to you like the Dollar store or cheap ones do. They will also replace them if they rip.

You could buy ponchos with a logo on them. A university or pro sports team that you like. We have Gator ones that we bought here in Gainesville. Just a plain white poncho with the Gator logo on it. That stands out pretty well. I've only seen a handful of other people wear it.

I just bought my son a Spiderman poncho from Family Dollar. Now the trick is to keep him from wearing it around the house.

I recommend buying unique ponchos in advance. I brought cheetah print ones for my DD's 5 and 7, and they stuck out from even far away!
