Splash Mtn and Kali in December???

[prestonsmomma]

Should we plan on doing these when we are there in December??? I don't want to freeze all day long. How wet do you get on Splash Mtn anyway. I've been on it but can't remember to save my life.

We've been 2x in December and we go on Splash mountain. I'd think as long as you aren't in the first seat you don't get soaked enough to make a difference even in December.

We've never done Kali....my sister and her family did with ponchos and I don't remember them mentioning getting soaked enough to make it uncomfortable or cold.

It really varies from ride to ride mostly depending on where in the "log" you're sitting & what kind oif splash you get. One time you'll come off soaked & another you may come off just slightly wet if at all, it all depends. I've gone on twice in a row & barely gotten wet the first time, but then been soaked the second. And as far as Kali River Rapids goes, if you get stuck going down the "main" drop backwards you're done lol you will be absolutely soaked!

I think that you'll be fine on Splash Mtn. I've never really been soaked on that ride. Kali is another story. The potential for being completely drenched on that ride is quite high.

If you want to go either wear a poncho or take a change of clothes especially for Kali, Splash nevers gets you that wet but at that time of year i tend to wear a poncho or a jacket that I can take off and let dry.

Last time we went it was several years ago at the end of Jan. It was cool enough for sweat shirts but not cold. My DH and 2 older Dkids did not want to ride Kali because of getting wet on a previous trip. But youngest DS insisted so we rode last, before headding back to the hotel. The raft holds 8 or 10 people, I cant remember exactly, but depending on the way it turns, only 1 or 2 people get drenched but you don't know which seat it will be. If it is you, even a poncho doesn't help. On this particular day, LUCKY ME! I got soaked on the first go round and when we got to the end, the very helpful CM asked if we wanted to stay on and go again. Well what kid is going to say no to that? So we went again but this time, already being wet head to to I was freezing and for some reason the ride just stopped. I thought it would never start giong again, but probabally just because I was shivering. After what seemed like hours (at least 10 min), we began to move. Well, when we got back around to the drenching part, I got it again! Moral of the story; if you don't want to disappiont your kids, take an extra change of clothes and stash them in a locker. That's what I'm doing this Dec.

We went last December and some days were cooler than others. Save some of these rides especially K-rapids for the warm days. We had a few afternoons where it got up into the high 80's.

Hi. We go to disney in January & always ride splash mountain. last January we also rode Kali. The weather was in the high 70s, and I read a tip somewhere. First I brought flip flops (didnt want to be walking around rest of day with sploshy wet sneakers & socks), I rolled up my pants to my knees. We brought along garbage bags- we only cut a hole in for our head (no holes for our arms), and the bag basically covered neck down to knees. We got a little bit wet, but not much. The kids loved it!

Splash is all right, especially if you don't sit in the front of the log.

Kali is another story -- on an almost empty raft in April, my DD got REALLY wet and spent the rest of the day wanting to change her shorts. (And it was a really HOT day)!

I think they change the water levels on SM based on the season. We went in Oct and sat in the front and barely got a splash. We went in July and sat in the front and got a HUGE facefull of water! They must have changed how much water was in the ride, or how fast it was flowing, or something. But, when it was 90+ it was nice to get wet. In Oct it was only 50s, so I was glad to stay dry!

I've never gotten more than a splash on SM. I've never gone on Kali, but the people coming off are soaked sometimes!

 

[Lizziejane]

As others have said, SM isn't much of a problem. Kali, on the other hand, is! We rode it in January, on a very chilly morning. Don't ask why - we're just plain stupid I guess! Anyway, all 4 of us got absolutely soaked. What was neat though was that they had these big "blow dryers" at the exit. A couple of minutes in front of one of those and we were dry and toasty!

Last December when DH and I were there the highs were only low 70's. We went on Splash and asked to sit in the back of the log. We just got sprinkled a couple times. We went right when MK opened and rode twice with only 2 other people on our log, they were in front and their "seats" got wet.

 

[splashmtnman]

we were there last October. During MNSSHP I got completely soaked on splash and it was a little cool that night. The rest of the trip during the heat of the day I barely got a drop of water on me. Go figure! Now on Kali I got soaked every time I have rode it.

We went in December. We wore the cheap dollar (or less) ponchos we bought before the trip and threw away. Well worth it.

A few years ago I got soaked on Splash Mt. I had survived the drop without much damage but there was a backup of logs when we went around the bend and I was stuck for a few minutes next to a waterfall that 'fell' right in my side of the log. You also should remember that when you get in the log you might sit in a puddle. In other words be prepared for anything. I always wear a poncho now, even tho we go in Sept.
