A PONCHO-FREE RAINY DAY PACKING LIST
Pack snacks
with wrappers
If it’s raining out , and local restaurants
are packed , then snacks are a good
option to tide you over. Some foods ,
like apples , have a natural cover that
won’t absorb the rain if they get wet.
If you packed a bagged item , like chips ,
then use the bag as a wrapper for
each bite to avoid reaching into the
bag with your wet hands.
Bring non prescription
fashion sunglasses
This will help keep the rain out of your eyes
without blocking your visibility like a hat might.
Glasses are also smaller and easier to carry
in your pocket. You can find a pair online
for under $10. Some drug stores sell these,
too. If all you can find in the moment are
sunglasses , and you notice people staring,
it’s because you look fabulous.

Carry a pair of
arm warmers
If you have a backpack with you , then packing an
extra top layer is a smart idea. It’ll help warm you
up if the temperature cools. If you need a solution
that’s more portable and easier to put on quickly
without needing to take off the rest of your gear ,
arm warmers are a great alternative.
If the weather happens to surprise you at
Wizarding World of Harry Potter, like it did
on my trip, Casie Shimansky of Orlando
Informer found an advantage:
“Since the queue for Ollivander’s in
Hogsmeade is completely outdoors with
no cover, guests are much less inclined
to enter it during a rainfall. This is your
chance to get in line and get inside without
much of a wait at all!”
