HELPFUL HINT: Skip the Ponchos E-mail

RainIf you visit Orlando during the period from mid-summer to fall, there's a good chance you'll see rain most days. The tram drivers at WDW sometimes give weather reports as they shuttle you into the parks, and you'll often hear them add "it rains here every day."

If you do get caught in a sudden downpour, don't go running off to the nearest shop to buy a poncho. For one thing, the ponchos behind the counter at the parks can often cost 6 or 7 times more than they would at a souvenir shop outside of the parks.

More importantly, you should understand that the daily rainstorms in Orlando usually don't last more than half an hour, so you're really paying to carry around a wet piece of overpriced nylon around all day.

Our advice is to save your money and either wait out the storm at a shop or catch an indoor attraction.
