Prepare for Florida Rain Storms While at Disney World
Megan and I have both been to Disney World during the summertime and that Florida humidity is NO JOKE. Plus, each afternoon greets you with a wild rain storm. It’s really no fun to be soaked at the park – unless of course you got doused on Splash Mountain!
We highly recommend an affordable but quality rain poncho for your trip to Florida. I unfortunately purchased cheaper, disposable rain ponchos for our trip to Disney World and the humidity made the plastic stick to my skin! I felt like I was walking Saran Wrap!
