I Go to Disney World Every Day, and Even I Didn't Know About These SECRET $3 Ponchos

Unless you’re some kind of packing wizard, there’s a good chance you will forget something on vacation. Maybe you left behind your phone charger or your sunglasses. Perhaps you misplaced your MagicBands. It happens to us all! The good news is that there are plenty of ways to solve this kind of problem, so let’s talk about it!

Swan & Dolphin

Let’s say you forgot your rain gear, and your vacation is turning out to be rainy. Sure, you can always head to Amazon and have ponchos sent to your hotel. But if you’re looking for a quick and easy fix, we know about a SECRET spot in Disney World that will totally hook you up.

Oh no! You forgot your umbrella and ponchos. Now what? You have options. You can 1.) Check your hotel gift shop. 2.) Tap a grocery delivery service to have an umbrella sent to your hotel. 3.) Place an order on Amazon. 4.) Drive to a nearby Target or Walmart. 5.) Visit the Walt Disney World Swan and Dolphin Resort. Wait, what? OK, let us explain that last one.

Walt Disney World Swan and Dolphin

The Swan and Dolphin Resort has a CVS Pharmacy vending machine stocked with all kinds of last-minute emergency supplies and essentials. It’s just down the hall from Java. The prices might be a little cheaper than what you’ll find at your Disney World hotel gift shop, too!

Now, back to our poncho example. Let’s say you find yourself without the proper rain gear on your Disney vacation. Well, you can get yourself a BARGAIN poncho at the Java Bar at the Walt Disney World Swan Resort for just $3!

Rain Poncho

This poncho is pretty thin, yes, but it’s not much thinner than the official Disney ponchos that will cost four times that amount. Is it the world’s best poncho? Probably not. But it’ll work in a pinch!
