1. You NEED to Wear Shoes

When heading to the Disney World pools, the concrete and walking paths can get HOT! You’ll take about 10 steps outside before you regret that you went barefoot. I know it might seem like you don’t need shoes at the pool, but you absolutely should wear them to save yourself some serious pain.

4. Don’t Forget Your Shirt!

While you might not need it in the pool itself, you might want to go inside the hotel store or quick-service restaurant while you’re by the pool. Shirts and shoes are required for guests going inside of a Disney World hotel, so be sure to pack them in your pool bag.
