A PONCHO-FREE RAINY DAY PACKING LIST
As my parents and brother ran for cover , I stood there for a moment. Looking
up , through one of the shop windows , I noticed a violin playing by itself. It was a
detail that I hadn’t expected to see. I started to look around and , suddenly , it felt
like the park guests beside me were locals in a town that I was just discovering.
The rain gave Harry Potter World a level of authenticity that I hadn’t expected
to experience until that moment.
When something unexpected happens on vacation , you have a few choices.
1. Try to salvage what’s left of your Plan A.
2. Retreat. Head indoors.
3. Go with it.
#3 is easier to do when you plan ahead of time. If you find yourself needing to
navigate a rainy day during the vacation that you’ve been looking forward to all
year , here are a few things you can do to prepare.
Wear waterproof
shoes (with good tread)
“If your feet get wet, you’ll be miserable.
Good , dry shoes with a solid tread will
help you walk through a rainy park in
comfort,” advises Robert Niles from
Theme Park Insider.
Wear pants
with pockets
Throw a few zip-lock
bags in there as a DIY
waterproof solution for
your phone.
