Please don't assume or expect that every single day at the Walt Disney World resort will be sunny and... well, sunny. Be prepared for rain and heavy down pours. Now I will say that on some of my 2006 trips to WDW that on the day I arrived the Weather Channel reported that it would be raining every day that I was in town but then the next day brought a whole new Weather Channel report informing me that it would be sunny for the rest of the week, and it was.

But I am always prepared for rain. Well, not really. This most recent trip I didn't take my WDW Mickey poncho because my last trip was sunny all week long. I figured there would be no rain. Boy was I wrong.

It rained about a day and a half towards the end of my trip and on top of the rain all week it was very cloudy thus making most of my pictures not as shiny and/or bright as my previous images I've posted on Micoofy.com. Since I did not bring my WDW Mickey poncho I had to buy new ones for my party and with the adult size running about 12 bucks each... well the more you buy the more you'll be upset at the Magic Kingdom.

Learn from my mistake! My shoes got wet. My socks got soaked. My buttocks area on my shorts were soaked from sitting on Main Street waiting for the Christmas parade.

So now that you've learned why not bring your own poncho(s) from home. You can buy rain ponchos at your local Target/Wal-Mart stores but remember the less you pay for one the less it will protect you from the rain. The WDW Mickey ponchos are a bit pricey but they work due to high quality materials used to produce them and I remained dry there after.

Also, bring an extra pair of socks because your feet will step into a puddle and they will get soaked. Just be prepared for a rain couple of days. Finally, block out those people in your life that are babbling on and on about how it never ever rains 'cause it does!

Check back tomorrow for a flood of pics that will show you how bad it was that rainy, magical night!
