What rain gear do you bring to the parks?

Dollar store ponchos, carried in our cargo shorts!

Dollar store ponchos here too. Will buy the better Disney ones if it looks more like all day rain. I need to wear good supportive shoes, so tennis shoes with my inserts and they just get wet in a little bit of rain - sometimes I remember extra socks. Again if more rain is expected, I wear something like Tevas, but I can't do those too many days in a row.

None. If a storm happens that we cannot just wait out in a ride/giftshop, then we will buy Disney ponchos. Last trip we had a lot of fun waiting out a storm in Epcot's England.

I wear a Columbia rain jacket. This one has zippers under the arms so it is not as hot as others I have tried. Sometimes the buses and restaurants are cold so I can also wear the jacket there also.

I have a Columbia jacket - very lightweight and works great in cold restaurants too!

If there's only a slight chance of rain I bring a cheapy rain poncho but the rest of my family brings nothing -- they don't mind getting wet in their park clothing (I do). If it's going to rain all day, we bring our Disney rain ponchos. I've considered buying the lightweight rain jackets that fold up small enough to fit in a large pocket, but they're shorter than the rain ponchos and I prefer the longer coverage the ponchos offer.

Agreed. My daughter has a North Face rain jacket, but it's considerably shorter than the Disney ponchos. We had to deal massive all-day downpours last trip, and the Disney ponchos were very effective. We threw our $1 ponchos in the garbage once we saw how bad they were.

Poncho? Rain Jacket (if so, what kind)? Umbrella?

None.

I brought a poncho one time. The poncho was so hot that I started sweating and was just as wet as I would have been had I just walked around in the rain. I was hot and miserable instead of just wet.

We are gamblers. We don't take any raingear at all. We do make sure that we have backup shoes for the next day if necessary though.

Ponchos and a small umbrella
