water park lovers...do you wear water shoes?

[Disneyonmymind]

Last time, I wore my Keens, DH wore his Tevas, and DD wore her cheapo water sock/shoe thingies that you get for like $5 bucks at any discount store. Lots of people wore water shoes of various sorts. Plenty of people were barefoot. The yuck factor would get me, even if the pavement wasn't so hot.

I seem to recall taking them off and holding them a few times... It wasn't a problem.

We spent 3 days in the water parks in May, when it was around 82 degrees and very sunny, and there was perhaps 5 minutes in all that time that I might have wanted water shoes (and I have very soft feet). If I had to guess, I would say less than 10% of the people there were wearing anything like water shoes.

If you would regularily wear water shoes to beaches, pools, etc. then yes take them. If you normally like to go around bare foot, then don't.

To me, it just seems like more crap to carry around with you.

I know this is WDW but does anyone worry about leaving their towels/shoes and clothes at their benches while you ride?

In all the times we've gone, probably about 8 water park visits, we've never had a problem. I wouldn't leave anything valuable of course but once we've found our chairs for the day to camp at we come and go and leave shirts, towels, snacks, sandals just like we would at the beach. It's always been fine.

Keens are the way to go. Also agree with the rash guards as the Bottoms are very rough in the wave pools.

For the Body slides I just hold them on my stomach they are good everywhere else.

We do the waterparks almost everyday during our Summer trips for relaxing time.

I did have a good pair of sunglasses stolen from TL a few years back but it was bad communication with DW and myself that caused them to be left in the bag with no one around.Never had a problem with towels or beach bags
