Mobile Rain wear - what is best?

What would be better? A pac-a-mac each, a reusable poncho or several cheapo disposable ponchos? We will have a buggy so will be able to clip them to it or store them? We're going in April.

You can pick up cheap ponchos in Walmart. From your countdown you'll be there in April which is much dryer than the hotter summer months.

We won't be going to Walmart until week 2 as staying on site so if we buy cheap ponchos it will be before we go. But we all already have PAC a Macs which is why I was wondering if we should just take those.

PAC a macs are to hot for Florida. Poundland usually sell disposable ponchos, get a couple each and you will be fine.

Great thanks. I hadn't actually thought about how hot we would be in a Mac if it rains. Disposable ponchos it is.

They do sell them in the parks, and I am sure in Disney if it breaks or splits you just exchange for another one.

Its a much better to use these because as has been said it gets hot in something with sleeves!

We just get wet. We go early May and the rain is warm. There's always plenty to see inside at the parks when a shower comes on.
We tried ponchos but in the hot weather we were as wet with perspiration inside the poncho as the rain outside

We use umbrellas and if it's really heavy all day rain cheap disposable poncho and an umbrella.

we used cheap ponchos that I bought off amazon before we went which worked. I had to buy a baseball cap tho to keep the rain off my face. But if I had a buggy to store things under I would have taken umbrellas. That said I'd take cheap ponchos as well just in case lightening is forecast when you are between indoor activities.
