Year of 100 Questions: #65

[King Triton]

You're going through the parks and all of a sudden it starts raining like crazy and you've got no raingear. You pop into your friendly Disney gift shop, and the ponchos magically appear. In the old days, they were yellow and you'd see a sea of yellow walking around. Now they're clear. Which do you prefer: yellow or clear?

I'll try to post at least one question this weekend, possibly two. Q66 will be in Dining, Q67 in Vacation Planning.

Time for me to start working on the review of questions 51-60. I know there's still a couple of those that are still open, so it'll be posted sometime next week.

Have a good weekend!

I guess if Mickey is on them it doesn't matter, but I'm going with tradition and voting yellow. We actually have some black ones that we might bring to WDW next year.

[beksy]

I went with clear just because I ususally identify the people I'm with by what they're wearing and clear makes that easier!

[4ubie1]

Well technically it is whatever I can get to and on first But I went with clear since that is what we got last time we went. Although I have had both so..

[indytraveler]

yellow. makes the park look more crowded and people tend to leave to go back to their resorts.

[avantgardeinker]

I guess I don't really have a preference, but if I have to choose one or the other, I'll go with the clear ones. Makes it easier to identify your party if you get separated.

167 more days!!

I understand the yellow ponchos are a Disney tradition, but the clear ones are so much more practical.

I had to vote for the clear ones, because we can drape it over the double stroller and the kids can still see somewhat.

Otherwise.... I do like the yellow ones. On a rainy day, its funny to watch the progression of the percentage of people wearing ponchos.

I remember one year at DLR, started the day, kind of misting and no one was wearing them. as the day progressed, the rain got eavier. We went on a ride and when we got off, about 10% of crowd was wearing them. Got on another ride, got off the ride and about 1/3 were wearing them. By mid afternoon, over 80% were wearing the yellow mickey poncho's. It was a crack up.

Another vote for the clear ponchos. The yellow ponchos are just a bit overwhelming in large numbers. I also feel the clear make it easier to find your party an identify people; 1,000s of people all in yellow standing together in the rain , just a little hard to pick out the ones that belong to you!

[BritCody]

I am all about tradition so I voted the yellow. Personally, I would go without a poncho.

[snifflesmcg]

I must be a nut....I go poncho free.

[HallandNash]

Clear for the reason most others gave: It's easier to identify people.

[DizNee143]

i went with yellow..only becuase thats all me and my family have...and we must have like at 15 of them...lol...

[Tynkerbelle]

It really doesn't matter to me - I generally don't bother with a poncho (though I do have a cool orange one from years back)....

I voted for the clear, though - it's more versatile, you can wear it with any color shoes! LOL

[Polynesian Dweller]

Voted for the yellow ones. They make the Mickey stand out better and more fun to see the yellow hordes.

[GrmGrninGost]

Yellow! I love traditional things!

[ibelieveindisneymagic]

Although we don't bother with the ponchos, we just get wet, I have to vote for the clear, at least then we'd be able to find each other in the sea of matching ponchos

[DDuck66]

I like the clear ones because if we need to get something out of the backback, we can see it without uncovering and letting in the rain.

[Anborn]

ponchos? who needs ponchos? we don't need no stinkin ponchos.

[wilshade]

Clear . . . but . . . . I'd probably not get one at all
