Go to a sporting goods store, like Dicks or REI. Or, you can always look online.Pretty much every "Disney travel tip" guide says to buy rain ponchos at home to avoid having to buy one at the parks, but can anyone comment on where you have found them? I've looked at the dollar store and Walmart so far with no luck.
The ones at Epcot only cost us $6 or $7 each and were well made compared to some of the other brands we saw people wearing. Plus, you can keep them as a souvenir because they have Mickey on them.
I was going to say go to Walmart or a dollar store.
I bought ours @ Disney and have found them to be made of a much heavier weight plastic than the Walmart versions which are so thin that they tear easily. We have Disney ponchos that we bring back every trip and are a couple are 10 years old and have had plenty of use. When one finally tears I replace it. I tried bringing a good breathable rain coat and found that the coat is just too short and your legs get wet. The ponchos seem to work best.
Disney will replace ripped poncho's
Huh? They will? Really?
Do you have to show receipt?
What if it is 2 years old?
This would be nice, but they typically last us a few years before they rip.
As long as it's a Disney poncho they will replace it - no matter how old it is. You do not need to show the receipt
We bought rain suits at Big Lots and KMart for trips where we know it will rain all day or really hard. They work great. We buy the clear ones. The jackets alone are as long as a poncho, and it's so much easier with sleeves than the open sides most ponchos have. They fold very small. We even use them on Kali to keep from being soaked in dirty water all day. For light rain days, we carry the .88 ones from WalMart. They are so tiny they fit in your pocket. The problem right now is that those are seasonal at Wal Mart. I did find some at Dicks, but they are 1.99.Pretty much every "Disney travel tip" guide says to buy rain ponchos at home to avoid having to buy one at the parks, but can anyone comment on where you have found them?

I don't think that's true anymore. I was told they quit replacing them a couple of years ago. We bought some in 2009 that were thick but stiff. We bought some more in 2011 and they were nice and soft, but much thinner.As long as it's a Disney poncho they will replace it - no matter how old it is. You do not need to show the receipt
Umbrellas are the things that people have in front of me @ LMA of Illuminations so I cannot see the show or the thing that hits me in the head when the owner of said umbrella is not paying attention since I am much taller than most.
I am not a fan of umbrellas in a crowded theme park.
