Be ready for rain

My hubby had the day off of work yesterday, so we got to go play! We went to Magic Kingdom and I spent the day taking pictures of the parade and fireworks. It was hot and sunny when we arrived, but just like typical Florida weather, it was pouring by the end of the night. This leads me to the

Disney World Travel Tip for the Day:

Just because the sun is shinning and the forecast calls for a sunny day when you are heading to Disney World, it doesn't mean that it won't rain. There is a good chance that you will receive a down pour  at an unexpected moment. So always got to Disney World with rain in mind, and you won't be disappointed!

Here are some suggestions on preparing for rain:

 - Map out and learn where all the indoor attractions are. Each disney park has several indoor rides, shows, and activities.

 - Wear closed toed shoes with traction. Sneakers are great. Waterproof are even better! But stay comfy!

 - Don't wear a thin white shirt.

 - Put your extra clothes (especially Baby's extra clothes) in plastic grocery bags inside of your backpack.

 - Put anything you don't want wet, inside of zip lock bags.

 - Bring a rain stroller cover-up; a wet baby in a wet stroller does not equal a happy baby.

 - Pack ponchos and umbrellas.

 - Don't promise your children a parade or fireworks; those can be cancelled due to weather.

 - If you brought your ponchos and your willing to get wet, take advantage of the short lines. The rides with lines outside and the water rides will drop their wait time quickly as guests head for dryer ground!

 - Large sun hats and umbrella hats are wonderful to have during rain. Even baseball hats and visors can make a difference. If you're preparing to stay and play in the rain, I suggest bringing hats.

 - And most important, be ready for the rain and when it comes, enjoy it! Stay happy and positive! Everybody can enjoy a little dancing in the rain!

I also suggest bringing water proof gear for your camera. There are SOOOO Many options you can buy or put together yourself. My personal favorite rain accessory for DSLR cameras is a rain Camera Coat. You can find camera coats here.

Without rain accessories, I wouldn't be able to capture some of my favorite shots.
