Clear isn't the same

[HauntedGabe]

It is pouring here yet again. I tripped on our old yellow ponchos searching for rain gear and boy was one tiny. Clear isn't the same.

It was like a sea of yellow on those rainy park days.

Yes, I still have some of those. It looks like a Big Bird convention lol But I guess that was the problem. You couldn't distinguish anyone from one another, but i do miss that look. Thanks for the pic!

I put one on on our last trip to WDW in november to ride SpM and I felt like a fool lol everyone walking buy had the new clear ones, and my dad had a clear one that he bought from home. I could curl up and die lol.
Then in DL we didn't have our ponchos and my mom and I got soaked standing in line to see Minnie and the gang

.... what a rainy day that was. Everyone had ponchos and if they didn't they were buying them. I wish I would have gotten one...

I would be thrilled to be able to put on an old yellow poncho and be different from the majority. Unlike the first time I wore one. DH bought it for me and said, "Well, at least I'll be able to pick you out of the crowd". Famous last words since we walked out into a sea of yellow ponchos. We still laugh about that one.
I wore a clear poncho last week. I hadn't looked at it before I left home. I just pulled one out of our stash. Turned out to have "London" printed on the back. A guest made a comment about there not being a park in England. I turned around and said, "But, there is a store in London."

I remember way back I think on our first trip or second trip, we were in MGM and it started to pour so we ducked under a covered area at a restaurant and we saw people trying to hold a poncho above them all and the pour girl in the middle got all the rain that was collecting and pouring through the head hole lol.

One of my fondest memories of my first trip is the sea of yellow poncho at Epcot when it rained the whole day.

We still have a couple of old yellow ponchos from 1997. We don't replace them until they tear and are unserviceable or don't fit the kids as they've grown. We now use a mix of clear and yellow. When everyone had the old yellow ones, you never could tell who was who from the back. Now with the clear ones, I know it is my family in yellow.

We did annual 2 week trips through the years my kids were in elementary school and did our share of yellow poncho days, I never lost sight of my kids, actually I think I had kids that never lost sight of me. DD usually had a grip on the bottom of my shorts, so I didn't get lost.

And did you say that in your Midwestern, Southern or British Accent?

That would have been in my Florida accent.
