What to do while it rains? Sometimes we duck into a store or attraction, but so does everyone else so the stores especially can get pretty crowded. Mostly we just put up the umbrellas and keep on trucking! We're from the Northwest, so we're used to rain, but do like that it stays warm in FL (as opposed to here, where it can be raining and 35 degrees) so, even if you do get a little wet, at least you're not uncomfortably cold.
Others do the poncho thing; we prefer umbrellas because they're easier for us to fold up and carry (which we do--everywhere--every day--right Annie?). The ones from the Dollar store only cost $1 (duh), and they fold up really small (we can fit 4 in a small gift shop bag, which we replace frequently--all that souvenier shopping pays off). If you prefer ponchoes, you can also get those at the Dollar store in packs of 2 for $1. We also wear crocs (no socks), so feet dry out quickly (I hate walking around in squishy, wet socks and shoes all day).
Only about a month until we can begin making ADR's (come on Sept park hours)! What's everyone thinking about, especially since we'll be using the new, (un)improved (but still mostly free)
DDP? I'm thinking more buffets (we can still get "appetizers" without having to pay more OOP, plus I might just leave a slightly lower tip without feeling as guilty). We're doing Boma at least a couple of times, Crystal Palace, and I really want to try Biergarten this trip (since I pigged out at the F&WF last time and we had to cancel our Biergarten).
.. how's the hubby and the boys ??
Thank you for asking!
You did a great job on them!
