Flip Flops

[John Kim]

Might be a stupid question, but I couldn't find any answers when searching.
Can I wear flip flops on all the rides at Disney World?
And is there any specific dress code restrictions on rides or in the park?

Thanks!

Yes, you can. I have sandals with a strap over the top and back because they're more long term comfortable. You have to take flip flops off and leave them on the floor for Soarin', but off the top of my head that's the only ride where you have to do something with them.

I wear flip flops basically every time I go to the park. Some people just find them uncomfortable but rules-wise you'll be absolutely fine. I think Soarin is the only ride off the top of my head where you need to remove your flip flops

Just a side note. I wore flip flops once and it rained. I was sliding all over the place and couldn’t walk in them. Seriously it was bad. I never expected that. So now I wear sandals that have a Velcro strap across the top which keeps them in place even in the rain and they have a lot more traction than plain flops. Granted mine were the cheap flip flops.

I like to pop a pair of cheap flip flops in my bag. They take up very little space, and allow me to go on water rides without risking wet feet for the rest of the day.
