I am not sure of the best place to post this, but I think this is the right area.

My girls want princess dresses for our upcoming trip to DLR. I have made them princess dresses for Halloween several times, so we have a few that only need slight modifications to fit/repair. We (the parents) are concerned that the satin dresses will be to hot and bulky in the parks or simply be uncomfortable on the rides and activities. What are your experiences on this?

I have also chosen to make them Snow White and Rapunzel dresses out of alternative spring/summer fabrics. I have the Snow White dresses done and I think they are adorable and the girls are happy with them. I am working on the Rapunzel dresses now. These dresses look so much more comfortable than the satin dresses. We have also had issues with the satin dresses pulling apart when they play in them, so that is another concern at the parks.

I am also going to make a Jasmine outfit, but I am making it out of interlock knit fabric. I hope that it has enough stability to look cute.
 
I have seen all sorts of princess dresses frolicking through the parks, and the bulk of the dresses do not seem to hold the girls back! :) I have also seen the cute, lightweight Disney nightgowns being worn throughout the park - the ones that are princess-y and don't really look like nightgowns, like this one: http://www.disneystore.com/sleepwear-clothes-girls-rose-disney-princess-nightgown-for-girls/mp/1300702/1000224+1000763/

Where I see the most trouble arise is in the shoes! Be practical with the shoes... none of those plastic-y dress-up shoes. Colorful Crocs are a fun alternative! Like these: http://www.crocs.com/crocs-chameleons-carlie-flat/12285,default,pd.html?cid=13Q&cgid=girls-collections
 
Thanks!

I didn't think about Crocs. We really prefer nice supportive shoes for walking all day. My youngest just got new sneakers that are all sparkly, so she is planning to wear those with her princess dresses.

I go the Rapunzel dresses done!
