I agree about the cheap ponchos. I only use them to go on water rides or for an emergency.

But I also prefer an umbrella rather than the heavy Disney ponchos. I think folding up and/or carrying the wet, heavy poncho is much more difficult. And they are a little pricey to buy for the whole family and then toss.
