I've bought them before... bring them with me... and end up buying more when I'm in the park and it starts raining....

i loved getting soaked! there's just something about walking around soaked from head to toe that makes ya feel like a rebel!! well, maybe that's just me...my mom never liked it when i'd try to get wet in my regular clothes...such as at Donald's boat or the little fountain things at epcot that you always see little kids splashing around in! although, me and my sister would often go to the 'jumping fountains' near the imagination pavilion and try to 'catch' the jets of water. and of course we would always get soaked! no siree, nothing like walking around with your hair matted down and your clothes clenging to you! lol!

LOL! thanks...i usually take that kind of comment as a compliment! i know, i know...i just made myself sound even stranger!
but don't get me wrong though...i don't walk around TRYING to find a way to get wet...that's not what i was saying at all! but sometimes it's enevitable to get wet. all i was trying to say was when it rains, i don't try to avoid it...if i have somewhere i wanna go, i don't let the rain stop me. well, at least i wouldn't if my parents were the same way. when it rains, they hightail it to a ride or store, or some kind of shelter until it stops.

i'm with you. you could get soaked and feel like a rebel or wear a poncho and look like some goober. would james dean wear a poncho? i don't think so. would clint eastwood wear a poncho? only one of those cool mexican ponchos and only so he could hide his guns and shoot dorks in those bright yellow plastic ponchos. nobody who's cool wears a poncho. jimmy, clint and i prefer to get soaked.

I've now been soaked in DL and WDW. Forget the wimpy ponchos. Now that I travel with a wife and child, though, things are a little different. We go
off season, when it doesn't rain everyday. We check the weather in the AM and plan our day around that. We've only been caught off guard once.

We'd never used ponchos until this year. It rained and rained and then rained some more so we had to give in! Two strollers, one wheelchair and five adults, all draped in Sea World blue! The kids have had great fun with them since they've come home - tents/sleeping bags/sleds - they were worth the money!

you're too much, marcia. i know what you're saying, though.
you get older, you choose comfort over being cool. are you at the point yet where you choose to be so comfortable that you embarrass your family when they're with you?
i must admit that i've worn my bright yellow hawaiian shirt with the big, royal blue dragons on more than one occassion. it's so soft and comfy, but extremely obnoxious -- which, i suppose, is only fitting.
