We've never ridden Kali before...how do you keep your camera etc dry...is it enough to put it in a ziploc bag to keep it dry...I just am not sure how wet you get on this ride and don't want to ruin the camera...

in the middle of the circular raft is located a storage area for cameras, shoes, bags, etc. that has a plastic cover on it. You might want to wrap your camera in something though just for added protection.

I believe they have lockers right outside the ride...I don't remember though. If they have lockers, I would put it in there.
Thanks for all the replies 
6 days until we are at WDW again!!

There's going to be a dry version as well.. the lines are split up half way down into a blue and a brown line...EpcoTim said:
People in the the blue line will get soaked, people in the brown line will stay absolutely dry...
People in the brown lines will step into special designed rafts which are covered with a canopy and have watertight doors...

After all those drownings on Kali I would suppose that sounds like a good option. I was nearly drowned myself when a wave of water covered me after a large unexpecteddrop. Disney seriously messed up on this ride. I would've sued but I turned out OK!
Don't even get me started on those water squirters that nearly made me BLIND!

The only thing that bothers me about Kali River Rapids is the fact that you can't put your shoes in the center compartment. I understand the reasons why they don't allow it, but I really hate walking around the parks with wet socks and shoes.
I usually wait until the CMs can't see me, and then I store my shoes and socks in the compartment, and then but them back on at the end of the ride.
But I don't have to worry about that this time, because it's going to be extremely hot and I will most likely be wearing sandals.
I've also been thinking about filming the ride, but I don't think I want to risk damaging my video camera.

I recall being completely soaked, or at least nearly soaked, but if you put your feet up on the circular bar in the middle of the "boat" you should be safe. The covered middle portion is pretty safe from water too. Our bags were dry.
I don't think I'd ever try filming the ride, it's really not that visually exciting, but I suppose you could put plastic over the camera with a hole poked in it for the lens.

This is exactly what I did, but my feet still ended up drenched with water. It just depends on where you're sitting.gboiler1 said:
Yeah, it really isn't that exciting. For some reason, I always thought that the ride was a lot longer than it actually is. To me, the queue is a lot more interesting to look at. Don't get me wrong, I love the ride, it's just not worth filming, especially with plastic over the video camera.gboiler1 said:
