And, with the immense amount of walking you’ll be doing at the parks, you feet will thank you.

Finding Cute Comfortable Shoes for Disney World

When it comes to choosing the best shoes for Disney World, the key sneaker features you should be looking for are:

  • Gel or foam insoles
  • Breathable material
  • Water resistance
  • Snug but comfy fit

You also want to consider whether you have narrow or wide feet. Also if you have very old, very worn-out sneakers, it might be time to retire them and introduce a new pair for your upcoming Disney World trip.  If you do this, I recommend breaking in the shoe at least two weeks before your trip to avoid pain and blisters on your vacation. 

Here are a few notable sneakers that I really like—both for men and for women:

How to Recover Your Feet after a Disney Vacation

When you get back to your hotel room you want to elevate your legs. If possible, try and elevate your legs higher than your heart, that helps reduce swelling as well as aids in circulation. 

You’ll also want to stretch, no matter how painful it is. Before going to bed for the night do some light stretching to help relieve stiffness. Some people may not feel comfortable doing this but if you do, take a warm bath, you can even buy some bath salts from Basin at Disney Springs to create your own spa experience. 

Continue to drink plenty of water. Water isn’t just for the sunny afternoons in the theme parks. Water is essential all the time and you need to continue to stay hydrated to make sure your body is working to its fullest potential. 

My favorite way to recover after a day walking the theme parks is to treat myself to thee Leg and Foot Intensive Massage at Senses Spa at Disney’s Grand Floridian Resort and Spa. This is just one of the many spas and salons on property. This massage is pricy at $135.00 for 50 minutes, but if your child can make a droid, you can treat yourself to a massage. 

You can also add on an extra 25 minutes of foot massage for $50.00. The spa offers many other services as well as the Leg and Foot Intensive Massage, like hair and nail services. Reservations are required in advance for any of the spas and salons on property.
