food IS a theme park
If there’s one thing you shouldn’t underestimate about Florida, it’s the weather. Disney World is probably hotter than you expect, even if you’re from other hot places, because the humidity makes it feel so much hotter than it is. Once you factor in the rain, you realize how big a deal weather really can be.

Because it rains ALL the time, we’ve tested just about everything to help with the rain, and these are our favorite ponchos that actually work.
Listen, over the years, our team has made some major mistakes in Disney World.

You don’t get to be Disney World pros without making a few hiccups along the way, and thankfully, we’ve learned from those experiences. That’s why we’ve rounded up a list of things that we’re NOT doing again in Disney World. If you follow this list, your odds of a successful trip increase exponentially!
We go to Disney World almost every day, which means we’re always on the lookout for new gear and travel essentials that should make it into your park bag.
We wore poncho pants in Disney World
We’ve tried everything from water bottles to rain hats to mobile chargers to neck fans. Let’s talk about rain gear, though. Now, we’ve already discovered that shoe covers and ponchos are VERY handy to have in the theme parks, but what about poncho pants? No, really…those are a thing that exists, and we tested them in Disney World.
We love it when our favorites are on sale on Amazon, and we love it even more when we get to share them with you.

We pulled some of our favorites so you can buy a few essentials before you go to Disney World and save some money while you do it. From stroller slings to rain ponchos, here are some of our favorites you don’t want to miss out on.
I’ve been going to the Disney World theme parks for the majority of my life (over 16 years). For the last 3 years, I have packed the same way for my trips because I have narrowed my Disney packing list down to perfection.
Easy does it!
That’s why I was seriously hesitant to add 3 new items to the list, because I didn’t want to mess with perfection. I was hardcore side-eyeing these necessities until I used them. Now, I’ll never go back!
In Disney World, magic is abundant, and pixie dust is everywhere! There’s also quite a bit of rain, sweat, and tough crowds.

When it comes to packing for Disney theme parks, it can feel like you need to pack 100 things to cover all of your needs, but that’s not how we roll here. When we’re worrying about essentials, we prioritize these 4 items because they have saved us over and over again!
Being in Disney World every day means we’ve pretty much gotten it down to a science. One way we can have a smooth trip is by figuring out what you need to pack that are actually essentials vs. what everyone just tells you to buy.

Here are three essentials you can grab on Amazon right now that will make your next trip so much easier. From battery packs you can keep fully charged, to a rain poncho you’ll be thanking yourself for packing, heed our warning and grab these while you can!
As Disney reporters, we’re in the parks literally every day, so we know a thing or two about park essentials.
Magic Kingdom
Here are five essentials we can’t live without, and once you start bringing them to the parks, you won’t go back!
Summer may be over, but it is still the rainy season in Florida.
Rainy Day in Magic Kingdom
Which means it still rains from time to time at Disney World. While the rain may move some of your plans around, it is better to be prepared for the rainiest of days at Disney World. You don’t want to end up with soggy socks or have to buy an expensive Disney Parks poncho. We go to Disney World every day and have found the perfect rainy day essentials, so of course we are going to share them with you!
Planning a trip to Disney World can be overwhelming. You need to figure out how you are going to get there, purchase park tickets, plan your dining reservations, and so much more.
