Shoes at DIsneyland

[lovejader]

Hey Board!! I was wondering can we wear sandals like flip flops on the rides or do we have to be wearing sneakers???

DD did as well as WDW.

Now I try to get her ro wear her keens as the toes are enclosed but Disney has Just a Must wear shoe policy not what kind like other places.

There was a similar post on the DL side of this site, and lots of people said they wouldn't wear flip-flops on rides, because they are more likely to fall off. I guess I would go with that for my kids - DS5's flip-flops fly off while he's just walking! But I wear flip-flop style sandals all summer, so think I'll be able to keep them on my feet without any trouble.

CROCS (or Nothings) in big loud colors like pink or lime...whatever. They're SOOOOOO comfortable and the breathe and they dont cause blisters and they never stink and their light weight, and their CUTE. You can walk 10 miles and not even know it!

I've seen people wear flip flops and sandals on the rides at Disneyland, but one has to be careful on certain rides that take you up in the air with no support below. For example, I've seen some people on "Soarin' Over California" at DCA take their flip flops off before going on the ride so that there's no chance of them falling off and hitting someone below them.

That's what I love about my Crocs...I can wear them clog style or use the strap when I'm on rides.

you don't have to be wearing sneakers - we do the flip flop thing too. (actually we each take at least 2 different pairs/styles of shoes and change every day or two so we don't get foot rub in the same spots and blister.)

most rides your type of footwear won't matter much at all. on rides like soarin for example, if you have any type of shoe that is open in the back (does not have a back or an heel strap) they will ask you to take them off as you are sitting in the seat, before the ride takes off. they are sitting there waiting for you when you land and you can slip them back on again.

not sure about other (non WDW) parks that might have the inverted harness type coaters where your feet would dangle. i would have to assume that they have those cubbie hole type shelves where you can slip off your flip flops, tuck them in a cubbie and then recover them when the ride comes back.
