We’ve tried out countless Disney parks essentials to see if they’re really worth your time and money.
Some of them, the answer was an immediate no, while others were just okay. A few we’ve been genuinely impressed by, but out of them all, there’s ONE essential that we will continue to shout the praises of for as long as we can speak. And with how rainy Disney World is, trust is, it’s a REAL essential!
There’s No Better Poncho Than A Frogg Togg Poncho
Disney World is rainy during a large portion of the year, especially during the summer, when lots of families travel to the parks due to school being out. That’s why we recommend bringing a poncho or umbrella with you, and our ULTIMATE favorite is the Frogg Toggs Poncho!
It comes in a variety of different colors, plus its own carrying bag that you can fit it back into after you’ve used it in the parks. That way, it doesn’t get anything else wet in your bag. Genuinely, this is incredibly waterproof, and we’re impressed every time we use it, because water practically falls right off of it.
It makes our rainy days and trips much easier, and we’ve yet to find another poncho or umbrella that we love as much as this one. It’s a worthy investment (but isn’t that expensive to begin with!) because it’ll last you multiple trips. And it doesn’t have to just be used in Disney! Traveling elsewhere and worried it’ll rain? Pack it in your suitcase, and you’ll be good to go.
Be sure to stay tuned to DFB for all the latest and greatest necessities for your Disney World trip!
