You can expect hot and humid weather most of the year with chance of rain. So be prepared for rainy days! Two pairs of comfortable walking shoes: Have at least two pairs of comfortable shoes you can switch back and forth with. Don't be like Sofia Vergara's character on ?Modern Family? and wear high heels to the park.

For a typical Disney World vacation, you should bring at least two pairs of high-quality walking shoes and one pair of sandals or "water-friendly" shoes. The average Disney guest walks between 7 and 12 miles per day, which puts immense strain on your feet. By alternating between two different pairs of sneakers or athletic shoes each day, you allow the cushioning in the soles to decompress and change the pressure points on your feet, which is the single most effective way to prevent blisters. Your primary shoes should be well broken-in before your trip—never wear brand-new shoes for the first time at Epcot. The third pair, such as Crocs, Tevas, or flip-flops, is essential for mid-day breaks at the pool or for wearing during heavy Florida rainstorms to keep your primary sneakers dry. If your sneakers get soaked during a typical afternoon downpour, having that second pair of dry shoes for the next morning is a vacation-saver. Some guests also pack a "nice" pair of shoes for signature dining, but for the parks, comfort and rotation are the absolute priorities.
