Can you use floaties in Disney pools?

Can I bring my own personal flotation device/life jackets for use at water parks and pools? Yes. As long as they are US Coast Guard / UL approved flotation devices. They are also complimentary and available upon request at the resort pools and water parks.

Unlike flip flops, you can wear your water shoes on the slides and other attractions. You'll also be happy you're wearing your water shoes when it's time for a trip to the bathroom. Bare feet and public restrooms DO NOT mix! Put swim diapers on your little ones.

For most all attractions there, you'll even be able to wear them down the water slides. Do make sure they are true water shoes, however, as flip flops are not permitted on the water slides themselves. I will say that I have pretty sensitive feet but most of the time I don't pack water shoes for the water park.

Last trip (Punta Cana) we brought two from home and put them in our carry-on bag. At the end of our trip we past them on to people we met at the resort..
