Great TR! Sounds like you brought home some magical memories.

I know you were wearing crocs when you went on Soarin. Are those the shoes that gave you a blister? I had the opinion (from the DIS) that crocs wouldn't do that to you.

Thanks so much for the detailed report!!! You guys did so much.

I appreciated it b/c we(me, dd, dd , dm and maybe dh) are leaving Saturday and still dont know if dh is coming. He might have to stay home due to work. THis was our"family" trip we have been so looking forward to it.
I know we will still have fun but I will be really sad if DH doesnt go.

But....

I told him if he can't go we will just have to schedule another trip- even if it is a short one!

Thanks, everyone!

I have plantar fasciitis and wear my crocs all of the time at home. I've worn them on local weekend trips and have never had a blister. Then, I took them to WDW. My PF was great! It didn't act up even once. But I got 2 blisters. That was totally unexpected with my crocs. After the blisters, I switched off between the crocs (PF support) and Tevas (a little better for my blisters).

Both of my kids wore crocs. Ds had no problems at all. Dd developed one hot spot (not a blister, though), on the top of her foot where the shoe rubs against your foot. I used Body Glide on her and had her switch to Tevas for a day. She was fine after that. She did finish up the trip with crocs.

Now that I'm home and my blisters are healed, I'm back to wearing my crocs. No blisters, and all is well with my feet. I do plan on wearing my crocs to WDW again. They are great for PF, and other than the blisters my feet did not ache for the whole trip. Next time I will use Bodyglide all over my feet with the crocs.

I discovered that the first aid stations at the parks will give you moleskins and band-aids if needed.

Here is a picture of us with our crocs:

Notice my lime green Baggallini. I love that bag! It is just the right size for bringing into the parks. And it was comfortable to wear. On MNSSHP, I switched over to a backpack and that was so uncomfortable. I was glad I had to use the backpack for only that one night. I'll be bringing that Baggallini to WDW again!

Day 2 The MAGIC Kingdom!

I was scared to get on Space Mountain, but I sucked it up and went on for the sake of the kids. I had the following 3 thoughts in my head during the ride:

1. I will become the next Disney heart attack statistic.
2. How far away is the nearest Lenscrafters? Ds' glasses must have flown off his face by now!
3. When is this ride over!?
