Central Florida and rain go together like Mickey and Minnie!
Especially in the Summer, it’s rare to go a few days without seeing some rain in Disney World. It can blaze through in 20 minutes, or it can last allll day, so it’s best to be prepared either way! You don’t wanna get caught in those afternoon storms unprepared (squishy shoes are the WORST!). Here’s our list of Amazon essentials for rainy days in Disney World!
1. Quick Drying Hat
Let’s face it, sometimes the hood of your rain jacket just doesn’t stay up during a storm, especially in a windy one! That’s why it’s good to have a hat on hand to keep your head dry. This TrailHeads Women’s Race Running Cap is a great one because it will dry quickly if it gets wet!
The hat comes in 7 different colors and is $18.95.

2. Waterproof Hat
If you need a hat with a little more coverage, try out this Einskey Waterproof Sun Hat! It has UV protection too, so it’s also great to wear on those super sunny days (which can sometimes also be the same days you see rain in Disney!).
You can get it in 6 different colors for $16.99!

3. Poncho
If you need something that will cover you better than a typical rain jacket, try a poncho! The disposable ones work fine, but wouldn’t you rather have a heavy-duty poncho that looks like Minnie Mouse and has POCKETS?! Yeah, we thought so. Check out this Adult Hooded Rain Poncho!
It also folds up into a small bag so it’s easier to carry around! Get it for $22.99.

4. Quick Dry Towel
If you do get caught in the rain, you’re going to need to dry off, and it’s kind of hard to fit an entire towel into your park bag! Enter: Flow Swim Chamois. They’re super absorbent, quick-drying, and reusable towels that are only 17 inches long and 13 inches wide!
The towels are often used by water sport athletes — you may have even seen some recently being used at the Tokyo Olympics! These small but mighty towels absorb a LOT of water! Get one on Amazon for $12.95.

5. Waterproof Bags
If you need a place to store your wet clothes after a downpour, these waterproof bags are perfect! They won’t let any mess get out and they actually have two zippered compartments that will keep dry things separate from wet things. They also fold up so they’re easy to store!
Come to think of it, these have so many more uses than just wet clothes. If you have small kiddos you can probably think of at least a dozen things you might need to stash away midday with these! These come in a set of 2 for only $9.99.

6. Waterproof Phone Case
Your electronics need to stay dry when it rains, too, so stick your phone in one of these waterproof phone cases. You can even still use your touchscreen through the case! They also work great if you’re spending a day at a waterpark or going on a water ride in the parks.
Get this pack of 2 waterproof phone cases for $9.99.

7. Compact Umbrella
A rainy day staple! You definitely want an umbrella so you can keep walking around instead of huddling underneath a store entrance in the parks. This SY Compact Travel Umbrella is petite when folded and should fit nicely in the bag you take into the parks. It’s lightweight, windproof, and about 10 inches long.
The umbrella also comes in several other designs and colors! Grab it for $11.59.

8. Extra Socks
It is absolutely awful walking around all day in wet socks. You do not need that kind of negativity in your life! Make sure you bring extra pairs with you so you can change into them if your feet get soaked. These Saucony Ventilating Comfort Fit Socks should also dry slightly faster than your average pair.
Get 6 pairs for $13.71! The style also comes in different colors if white socks are your thing.

9. Stroller Cover
We don’t want baby to get wet during a rain shower! This Anchor Life Stroller Rain Cover should keep your little one dry, and it also comes with a mosquito net (although, there weirdly aren’t really mosquitos in Disney World!). It’s also great to keep your stroller dry if you park it outside while you’re on a ride.
It’s a breathable all-around shield and has a universal fit for $12.99.

10. Waterproof Shoes
Time to talk about footwear! This is a major part of being comfortable in Disney World because, if your shoes aren’t built for the weather, you’re not going to be having too great of a time (at least, we don’t ourselves!). You need a shoe that’s waterproof and won’t slip around in the rain. If that means holding off on your favorite flippy floppies, these Teva Women’s Original Universal Sandals are a great option. Plus, look how fun they are!
You can get them on Amazon for $49.99 or choose from a variety of colors.

If you’re looking for a different style, check out these Teva Women’s Tirra Sandals, which have a little more structure to them.
Grab them for $79.95!

For the guys, there’s also some great options, like these Grition Mens Closed Toe Waterproof Sandals. They have a protective Toecap and will definitely keep your foot locked into place!
They come in a variety of colors, and you can get these for $49.99.

Another style you can opt for are these Camel Crown Mens Waterproof Sandals. They’re open toed and have adjustable straps! They’re also anti-slip, which is great for walking around Disney World, cause some areas can get slick!
These come in black or khaki for $47.99.

For the kiddos, there are these super cute Sketchers Foamies Unisex Guzman Steps! They’re slip-on shoes, so it’ll be easy to get them off of your kids before they run around your hotel room with dirty shoes!
These go for between $24-$29 depending on the size you choose.

11. Quick Dry Shorts
Another item you’ll want to dry quickly if you get rained on are your shorts! It’s super uncomfortable to wear wet shorts around for the rest of your theme park day, and we don’t want anyone to have to go through that! For men, these Little Donkey Quick Dry Cargo Shorts should dry off fast.
These are also great for going on water rides! They come in a TON of colors, too. Get them for $33.99.

For women, these Baleaf 4” Quick Dry Lightweight Shorts should do the trick! Oh, and guess what? They have POCKETS! That always improves a clothing item by about 100 points!
Get these in 5 different colors for $24.99.

12. Hair Drying Scrunchies
Did you know they make scrunchies to dry your hair? If you didn’t, now you do! How cool are these Kitsch Microfiber Hair Drying Scrunchies? Just twist your hair up in one of these and they’ll help stop your hair from dripping everywhere!
These come in a few different colors, but you can get this Palm pattern 2 pack for $13.99.

13. Waterproof Fanny Pack
Sometimes you don’t want to carry around a big park bag for the day, especially if you know it might get rained on. Use a waterproof fanny pack instead like this Syncwire Waterproof Pouch Bag. It has an adjustable waist strap and will keep all your belongings dry while also not putting a strain on your back!
Get this 2 pack for $14.99.

14. Backpack with Waterproof Compartment
If you do need to carry a larger back around, you can always use one that has a special pouch that will keep your important items dry! This Venture Pal 40L Backpack has a waterproof pouch and comes in some super fun colors.
