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.

Wearing our poncho pants
Okay, for starters, rain is going to happen in Disney World, and you want to stay dry. So on the surface, poncho pants seem like a great idea. So we got this eight-pack of blue and clear poncho pants, but y’all…the material is SO thin. We’re talking produce bag thin.

Another problem with these pants is that the leg is not open. It’s sealed. The legs are long enough to fit someone at least 7 feet tall, so you’ll want to cut the pants to length before you use them. However, they could be sealed so you can wear them over your legs and your shoes, but we really don’t think the plastic would last if you had them wrapped around your shoes.

Once you’re wearing the pants, they will certainly keep your legs dry, but that comes at a price. The price is that these will make your legs sweat because they are HOT. Plastic doesn’t breathe, and you’re going to be losing a lot of water weight when you’re wearing them. This doesn’t make them ideal for wearing in Disney World.
They don’t breathe
So you have to ask yourself…do you want your legs dry or sweaty? Considering these could dehydrate you pretty quickly, our vote is for wet legs. However, you can always try them out for yourself!

I imagine this device is hot. It would be good on water rides. One half of my bottom got soaked on Tiana’s attraction and then I had to drip dry. This device would be great on Kali River Rapids. Shoe covers and a poncho are essential. I use a special poncho for scooters.
