15 Best Shorts for Disney World – Comfy AND Stylish Shorts!
If you’re looking for the best shorts for Disney World, you’ve come to the right place. In this article, I’m not only going to share my picks for the best men’s and women’s shorts, but I’ll also explain what it is about each pair of shorts that really makes them worthy of your money!
Women’s Shorts
Let’s begin with a paid of shorts made from both cotton and spandex.
XinYangNi Comfy Cotton Beach Shorts
These shorts are made out of cotton and spandex, so they are soft to the touch while offering a little stretch, which is definitely nice to have when you’re walking, snacking and hopping on and off of rides. If you prefer a little more length, check out the knee length (bermuda) version of these shorts, as well.
Style: Drawstring
Price: About $9.00-$13.00
Quality: 8/10. For the price, the quality of the fabric is great. The ends of the drawstrings may fray a little bit.
Why I Like It: Comfort and colors! These are so soft and I find them to be so comfortable. I’ve ordered multiple pairs, so I’ve got lots of color options during my time in the parks. The pockets on these are also pretty deep, which I appreciate. These are personally my favorite shorts to wear in the parks!
Willit Active Shorts with Pockets
The description of these shorts alone is a pretty good indicator that they are definitely the pair that will quickly become your “utility” shorts and be great for anything! Lightweight, 4-way stretch, moisture wicking and soft to the touch make these a great pair to consider.
Style: Active
Quality: 9/10. Reviews are fantastic here, but some may not like the thicker waistband.
Price: About $22.00-$24.00
What I Like It: The color choices and “quick dry” fabric. It’s Florida…it will rain! So I love that these will dry fast. Plus, the moisture wicking material is never a bad idea, especially if your travels take you down there in the summer.
