Sat 11/17/2012 9:08a | I have been completely soaked on Splash Mountain and had a few drops. I haven't been enough in winter, in enough seats, with different logs weights, to know... how wet does the average and the most wet person get in, let's say, January? I'm thinking it's just better to skip unless you have a poncho or a complete change of clothes available? |

If you don't want to get wet, wear a poncho. But what's the fun in that? ;-P |

Sun 11/18/2012 9:33a | Yep, lived in So Cal for 22 years (annual pass only one year), and never worn a poncho at DL yet. I think this clinches it that we'll just avoid Splash for our winter trip. If it's raining enough to necessitate ponchos on our scheduled date I'm sure my siblings will cancel the whole thing and I'll have to follow suit. |

That is exactly right! Unless you have a full length poncho .. with proper rain boots ... then count on walking around the park, afterward, in wet socks, wet shoes (inside!) ... and wet pants.
The smaller drops inside the main show building always do the most damage. ;) I've learned to place my arms flush against the top sides ... to act like a dam .. because of waters pouring in .. drenching my legs .. to my socks ..and inside my shoes.
The dip-drop into the laughing place ... will get you too! |

Sun 11/18/2012 2:45p | I did fine with a poncho and sat in the front row. A adult poncho does cover me pretty well and i lifted my legs up a bit. When i go i will try to make sure it is at least in the day time. |

Sun 11/18/2012 3:42p | I usually like to sit in back, but they put me in front when I went solo last Dec. and I got wetter than I ever had before on that ride. It was the little nothin' drop underneath the critter on the sidecar that got me wettest! |
