You may be surprised to know it can actually be a better experience to visit Disney when it rains! There are things that only happen when the skies open up, which happens pretty frequently.

Right now we are seeing a lot of wet days in the parks, and the key to enjoying the rain is being prepared.
Here are some of our favorite rainy day essentials we rely on to have a good time splashing in the puddles!
COOY Rain Ponchos
Ponchos are pretty much a no-brainer! Keep a small, disposable poncho in your park bag that you can easily whip out when you see those dark clouds rolling in. We prefer these to rain coats because they take up much less space and aren’t as heavy during the hotter months.
We love this set by COOY because you get ten ponchos in a pack, which is probably more than enough to supply your entire trip! Plus, even though they’re all one size, they are designed with drawstrings at the cuffs and around the hood so you can adjust to fit almost anyone.

HEETA 2-Pack Waterproof Fanny Pack
For those who prefer to bring smaller bags into the park, we recommend purchasing a water-proof one. Not only will this protect your belongings during a downpour, but it comes in handy if you decide to hop onto a water ride. Now you won’t have to worry about your electronics getting soaked on Splash Mountain!

These fanny packs come in a two pack so you can share with a family member or friend. There are plenty of color combos to choose from, and each bag is crafted with triple sealing protection that will ensure whatever you pack stays dry. The coolest part is that these bags are semi-transparent and allow you to not only see but interact with your touch screens through the outside of the bag!

Beach Defense Water Resistant Sunscreen
Just because it’s raining doesn’t mean you can skip the sunscreen. Even though the sun may seem hidden, those UVA and UVB rays that cause skin damage still penetrate through cloud cover. Prepare ahead of time by applying a sunscreen that is water resistant!

No sunscreen is truly waterproof, but plenty offer lasting protection even when you’re swimming, sweating, or outside in the rain. One of the most popular options is by Neutrogena. Their Beach Defense sunscreen gives you SPF 70 blockage and will last even while raining for up to 80 minutes before you need to reapply!

Waterproof Apple Watch Screen Protector Case
Even when wearing a Magicband we still like to keep our smart watches on while visiting Disney. It helps us keep track of the time, notifications, and most importantly track ALL that walking! While some smart watches are water resistant, don’t you want to ensure it’s completely protected?Â

Pop one of these waterproof cases on top of the screen and you’ll be all set! Reviewers stated that while other covers they’d use still allowed moisture to seep in, these have a tight seal. They also double as general protection, so if you accidentally hit your watch face it won’t be damaged.Â

Waterproof Golf Baseball Cap
Umbrellas are a bulky item that most people tend to skip when packing for the parks. Another solution to keep the rain off your head and out of your eyes is to opt for a brimmed hat that is waterproof! The water will run right off the slick material instead of soaking in.

This baseball cap is 100% polyester, so it will completely repel rain. It also has a UPF 50 reflective bill so you’re getting sun protection as well! The strap in the back is adjustable, so it will accommodate a variety of head sizes. Get this hat in a solid neutral to fit with many outfits, or opt for this fun magenta color!

Teva Women’s Original Universal Comfortable Quick-Drying Casual Sport Sandal
Tennis shoes and sneakers are a popular choice of footwear for Disney trips because there are plenty of comfortable options, but when the rain hits it’s a different story. One of our least favorite sensations is walking around with wet shoes and socks on. To avoid that yucky feeling, pick out a pair of waterproof or quick drying walking sandals as your next pair!

These sandals by Teva have water resistant rubber soles, and the straps are made of polyester that don’t hold onto moisture and dry off quickly. They have TONS of positive reviews and many reviewers commented these are their go-to shoes for Disney!Â
