Questions

[mjal]

We leave next week and I had a couple of questions I'm hoping some people can help me with. You guys are incredibly Disney-knowledgeable around here!

1. What kind of shoes do you wear in the parks? Comfortable, but cool? I'm thinking my tennis shoes will be comfortable, but not very cool.

2. What do you carry your stuff in that you bring into the parks (camera, sunblock, money, medicine, etc.)

Thanks in advance!!

Oh, we won't have any kiddos - just two married couples!

Too bad you are leaving next week, I'd recommend these http://www.landsend.com/cd/fp/prod/....html?sid=4837080296961175080&CM_MERCH=PAGE_2

I'd recommend a Birkenstock kind of shoe - comfortable and cool

And I'd get a very small back pack to carry stuff with you unless you have a stroller then put it in the stroller. I found a small camera/camcorder backpack - and room for a few other non-wet things at Walmart a few months back on clearance.

Our local Sears store carries Lands' End stuff - I'll check there for the shoes. Those look great.
Thanks!

Everytime we go, I always bring about 3 or 4 different pairs of shoes and about 98% of the time I wear my sneakers - really good walking sneakers!!! I have a shoulder bag that I use to take with me to the parks - it is perfect size and it holds sunscreen, a bottle of water, a camera and snacks - not too big as to be cumbersome and not too small that it won't hold the essentials - have fun!!!

I have had 7 seperate surgical prcedures on my feet so I am now an expert on what to wear. By all means even if you have good feet spend the extra money on a good pair of walking shoes. I did for our last trip and had no trouble. However my SIL bought some cute but very cheap tennis shoes and suffered dearly. By the end of our first day she was very unhappy. So much so that she went out and bought good shoes that night.

As far as our bag of goodies, we had: a regular camera, a water proof disposable camera, a bottle of water, breakfast bars that were indivudally packaged for a snack between large meals, a small home made first aid kit ( motrin, bandaids, and a small acewrap, which we kept wraped around the water to keep it cold) and of corse our daily spending money.

Hope this helps!
