Pack some Epsom salts and soak your feet in the bath. Some people swear by gel inserts in their shoes. If there's room in my shoes, I sometimes double-sock my feet. I put a thinner pair on the inside and a thicker pair on the outside.

Getting your feet ready for a Disney vacation requires a combination of physical conditioning and the right gear, as the average guest walks between 15,000 and 25,000 steps per day. At least a month before your trip, start a walking regimen, gradually increasing your daily distance to "toughen up" your feet and build endurance. Crucially, you must break in your shoes; never wear brand-new sneakers to the park, as this is a recipe for instant blisters. Choose moisture-wicking socks made of synthetic blends or wool (avoid 100% cotton) to prevent friction and keep feet dry in the humidity. Many "pro" travelers recommend applying an anti-friction stick (like BodyGlide) to high-rub areas every morning. Finally, practice a post-park recovery routine: elevate your feet at the end of the night, use a tennis ball or a frozen water bottle to roll out your arches, and consider bringing Epsom salts for a soothing foot soak in your hotel tub to reduce swelling for the next day.
