Where are the $1 ponchos?

[Disneyvirg]

I thought I had read that people buy their ponchos before they get to Disney because they cost much less than they charge in the parks. I thought they had said they purchased them for about a dollar at Walmart and Dollar stores. I went to our Super Walmart today and only found $5 ponchos in the camping area. Our Dollar General had nothing that I could find. I don't frequent that store, so maybe I missed them? Did my memory fail me? Has anyone else found $1 ponchos at Walmart?

I got mine at the Dollar Tree. They have a two pack for one dollar. Not the most durable but for that price you can buy several and throw them away after first use.

Got mine at a local, non-chain dollar store. So far it's lasted through 3 trips through Kali River Rapids, 2 days at Sea World, and St. Thomas, US Virgin Islands. So I guess I got my money's worth!
The 2 fers at Dollar Tree seem to be very thin, like the plastic used in dry cleaner bags.

I bought some today at Target for 1.14 each They seemed a little thicker than some of the others I've seen. They had several colors too red green blue.

Just wanted to add that I know the Disney ones do cost more but they can be exchanged if they get a rip or anything in them with no problems.

We traded DDs one in about 6 times one trip as we had them on and off a bunch and she kept pulling on the buttons and ripping them.

We bought some at walmart at the camping section (they had both the more exp kind and the cheapo ones) and then our dollar tree has them 2/$1.00 in 1 pack so bought a couple pks from there as well. We prob have 8 to 10 ponchos for a 8 day trip!

I bought some yesturday at dollar tree. It was near the umbrellas, which happen to be located at the register- kinda like an impulse item. Thought it was odd, but hey I got em. They are flimsy, but I bought a ton to throw out after each use. You get 2 for a $1- one is clear and one is yellow. Good luck finding them.

Thank you guys/gals for all of your help! I went back to Dollar General and searched harder (and asked for help). I found a bunch for $1.25 each. My DD6 was very confused as to why mom needed 16 ponchos. I told her I just like to have them on hand just in case. The kids don't know about our trip yet!

I got a bunch from Target in the camping section. They are made by Coleman and were $1.50 each. They are a little more durable than the ones bought from a dollar store, but my boys do destry them eventually.

We found ours at the same place at Dollar Tree. We buy a few packs. If they get soaked, we just toss them at the end of the night.

id keep looking around. might find them cheap somewhere. best bet is what everyone is saying dollar tree probably holds them.

I bought a 2 pk in the Dollar Tree for our trip in 2007 and they were great. I went back to Dollar Tree and bought another 2 pack for our trip in 2008. We were in ride for KRR and I hear my husband saying "I don't think this poncho is for me." I turn around and it looked like he was wearing the poncho of a 4 yr old. It was soooo funny. They said they were for adults but they sure didn't fit us. Needless to say we got a little wet on the rapids!
Anyway, you may want to open your ponchos from the dollar store just to be sure they are OK.

And just a note about the Disney ponchos: unless they've changed very recently, the ponchos contain latex, so if someone in your party has an allergy or sensitivity, make sure you avoid them!

Just got back from Target. They have $1 ponchos that can fit in your shirt pocket. They also have $1 emergency blankets and Mickey & Minnie coloring books
