food IS a theme park
Disney World sells a lot of things. Mickey bars. Bubble wands. Emergency flip-flops. A suspicious number of sequined ears for a place where it rains sideways.

What Disney World does not sell is your actual, carefully chosen, trip-saving stuff.
Taking a toddler to Disney World? You’ll probably have a BLAST, but you’ll want to prepare ahead of time!

The key to success with your little ones is to have patience, go with the flow, and of course, pack properly! We’ve gotten pretty good at that last one over the years, and now, we’re here to recommend our favorite shoes for toddlers to wear in Disney World.
When you’re deciding what shoes to bring to Disney World, you may have done research to hear what other people have said about the shoes they brought.
On Cloudswift Sneakers
For months now, we’ve heard people raving about both HOKA and On Cloud sneakers, and seen them tons in the parks. There are lots of other brands out there, but these are the shoes that consistently get top reviews. If you’re deciding between the two, though, you’re likely looking to only purchase ONE pair, instead of spending money to buy one of each, since they’re both EXPENSIVE. We’ve tried both of them out in the parks extensively, and can now confidently say that ONE of these shoes is clearly more comfortable than the other.
Even if you’re used to walking around for hours at a time every day, there is something different about a trip to Disney World. Maybe it’s carrying theheavy backpack with everyone’s water bottles and souvenirs in it, or the bright, humid, Florida weather, but more likely than not, your feet are going to hurt at the end of your trip — especially if you choose the wrong shoes.

When we’re looking for what shoes to wear to the parks, we try to find ones with the right amount of cushion and support, but also breathable and lightweight to handle all the different hard grounds throughout the parks. We pulled a few of our favorites that are on sale, so you can find the perfect shoe to wear to Disney World, because trust us, if your feet hurt, your whole vacation, you’re not going to have a good time.
Do you have a little one who just loves Bluey? Well, if you have a little one, the answer to that is probably “yes.” Bluey is probably one of the most popular animated characters across the world right now, and the characters are turning up everywhere…even in Disney Parks.

Well, if you do have a child who adores Bluey, we have to tell you about a new Crocs collection that’s dropped: it’s dedicated to Bluey, the Heeler family, and all her friends. And this collection is online right now.
Yes, we know, we talk about shoes a lot. But that’s because shoes are one of the most important thing you can think about if you’re planning a trip to Disney World. That’s because you’ll be walking MILES every day without even realizing it, and your feet are going to take a beating.

Just how much of a beating your feet take, though, is dependent on your shoes. If you wear the wrong shoes, you’re going to feel it. However, if you wear the right shoes, you’re going to be able to keep walking in Disney World, day after day. Well, we’ve got a pair that are 100% the right shoes, and we’re going to tell you about them.
Ok, we know it might sound crazy, but we can’t tell you how many times we’ve gone on a Disney World vacation and panic bought shoes!
Cinderella Castle
There have been too many times when we forget to pack more until we’re sitting on the plane, looking down, and realizing it’s just our Toms/Crocs/flip flops on our feet. If you can relate, don’t worry! First, you’re not alone. Second, because we’ve been there too many times, we have a list of the go-to panic buys that you should grab BEFORE your Disney World vacation!
We’ve tried out SO many different kinds of shoes in Disney World, but we’ll tell you right now — not all shoes are built the same.
