Hurricanes are a fact of Disney World, especially during Atlantic Hurricane Season, which typically runs from June 1st through November 30th each year.
While no one WANTS to experience a hurricane — or any bad weather — during their trip, there are some essentials that you can have on hand to make any inclement situation a bit more bearable.

Frogg Toggs Are Our FAVORITE Disney World Poncho Option
We have tried A LOT of ponchos at Disney World over the years, and this is BY FAR our favorite, especially for the kind of rainy weather you may encounter during Atlantic Hurricane Season. This poncho — available on Amazon in multiple colors, including this striking hot pink — had several features that we simply adore. The material allowed the rain to slip right off, and between that and the lack of sleeves, we didn’t feel steamed or hot underneath. On top of that, the poncho was large enough that our backpack was able to fit underneath it comfortably, while still keeping the bag and our backs completely covered from the rain. If all that wasn’t enough, the poncho even comes with a waterproof storage bag, meaning we were able to quickly pack it up and throw it in our backpack as soon as the storm ended without worrying about anything in there getting wet. They offer both adult and children’s sizes.
This BAODINI Mini Umbrella can help with the rain… and the sun!
This UV umbrella is made from black glue fabric, which reflects most UV rays, and the black coating on the underside of the canopy absorbs any remaining UV rays, giving an overall UPF rating of 50+, and it can also stand up to wind and rain. With a 40-inch arc and a 35.4-inch diameter, this mini travel umbrella can perfectly fit in your bag while you’re on the go! It folds to a compact size of 6.9 inches and is super lightweight, which makes this umbrella great for travel!
These Shoe Covers are KEY to Keeping Your Feet Dry
One of the worst experiences one can have at Disney World is when a rainstorm moves through and soaks your shoes and socks until they’re DRENCHED…unless you have these waterproof shoe covers. When we first saw these years ago, we weren’t convinced of their effectiveness, but we were WRONG! They keep our feet — and our tennis shoes — mostly nice and dry, even in the rain. We’d also advise sizing up to alleviate any discomfort from the zipper top.
Keep Your Little Ones Dry with this Stroller Cover
This cover securely fastens to your stroller with secure, adjustable straps and snaps. There are large mesh flaps on each side that reduce fogging while keeping kids comfortable and protected from rain at the same time. The adjustable back panels and straps provide for a custom fit, allowing the poncho-like material to fit any size or stroller design.
No one wants to be at Disney World during inclement weather, so these items are necessary to make the best of it. Stay tuned to DFB for more Disney essentials!
