The BESTEST, CHEAPEST raincoat is a black garbage bag. Easily folded up for carrying in a back pocket. Make head and arm holes, use as needed, then throw away. Gets strange looks from some people, and envious looks from those that paid $6-$8 for a poncho.
The other posts suggesting off-site rooms are good ones. Get a cheap room with a fridge (you're not vacationing in the room - you're only showering and sleeping there). Something that helps is starting your day in the park when it opens (parking usually opens an hour before the park), then around lunch time go back to your room, eat, and TAKE A NAP. Then you'll be able to go back to the park and last until the fireworks show at closing time.
I was speaking from a purely business point of view, there are FAR FEWER FATHERS THAT ARE HOMOSEXUAL THAN ARE HETEROSEXUAL. To take a FAMILY holiday and make it "GAY" is to take a chance and turn away MILLIONS of hetero-fathers and mothers who do not want thier children exposed to this lifestyle. You can like this lifestyle all you want, but that doesn't mean that everyone else has to accept it and they have the choice. Noone is saying to ban gays from Disney Land, but please tell me what the hell the purpose (EXCEPT TO PUSH IT POLITICALLY AND IN THE FACES OF EVERYONE ELSE) of GAY DAY is?
