Kids Crocs 7

Can anyone recommend good walking shoes for WDW and Universal?

I would welcome any advice as to what kind of shoes people have had good luck with at Walt Disney World and Universal Orlando. We are going in a few weeks and we have been before but now our kids are all into the water rides where as they weren’t before. My DH says our good old tennis shoes and socks worked last time and they should be OK this time as well. However, we never had to worry about getting wet before and I really am not looking forward to walking around all day with wet, squishy feet. Also, we are not staying on site so it wouldn’t be feasible for us to go back to the hotel and change. We are especially go to be at Universal Studios and Islands of Adventure because we got the 7 day passes and they have the most water rides.

I’ve worn my normal every-day sneakers at WDW every time I’ve gone. I always go on the Water Rides, and haven’t yet had the squishy shoe problem. On Splash Mountain, the water tends to come at you horizontally, and so it’s really just your face and stomach that get wet. On Kali River Rapids, there is a bar in the center of the raft that you can (and should) put your feet on as you go down the big drop. And that’s really about it as far as water rides at Disney.

Unfortunately, I haven’t been to Universal or IoA yet, so I can’t offer any advice on water rides at those parks.

I have seen many people walk the parks with their crocs, so if you go that route, you won’t be alone at the very least. I would rather strongly suggest you not worry about the “fashionable” aspect of the shoe – remember that (1) you’re never going to see any of the people you meet there ever again, and (2) You will frequently spot 30-year-old tatooed biker dudes wearing Mickey Ears on their heads. Disney is not a place to be concerned with how you look.

The crocs might also be a good idea because they can (if I recall correctly) be worn at the Disney Waterparks as well, to prevent your feet from burning on the pavement as you walk to a slide or wave pool.
