Barefoot at Disney

[rocknroller81]

I hate shoes. Plain and simple.

Eventually, my shoes come off at some point in the day, either at a park or on my resort grounds. Granted it's not for long at the parks, but still feels nice for the little bit.

With the announcement of the new Avatar land, I think I'll celebrate my first time there going barefoot. I'll blend right in with the natives and if the ground glows where I walk, that'll be even greater! They should even encourage it!

Is anyone else like me? Or want to join me going barefoot through Pandora?

I'm not a fan of Avatarland.... But I don't go barefoot at the kingdom as in straight foot. I go my Margaritaville FLip Flops though! Then I pop them off when sitting, relaxing etc.

So I am kind of barefoot. LOL.

What's the phrase? ”Shoes and shirts must be worn at all times"?

 

[ImagineerDude]

Walking around the park...barefoot?? The strollers and tourists stepping on your feet in flip flops is bad enough! But I too hate shoes and the only place I would go barefoot at is at most the resort grounds...and that's pushing it.

No shirt, no shoes, no service.

Yeah parks are tough, but I can only stand it for so long. Resorts are the best, especially the Polynesian

Doesn't blue body paint count as clothing?

Only one way to find out....

Report back with your findings.

I have wimpy soles, can't go anywhere without shows outside the house!

 

[Goofyernmost]

I guess if you like infections and broken bones... go for it. There was a reason why shoes were invented and it wasn't fashion.

 

[disney4life2008]

I am a naturalistic person regarding my feet. I was scolded at HS when I got off RnRC for not wearing shoes and was reported to the manager. LOL

I tried wearing those Vibram shoes in EPCOT. I ended up getting weird looks in the American Adventure that evening when I abandoned those awful things for a wonderful pair of Chucks.

I would NEVER go barefoot at the parks. Do you know how many people spit on the ground at any given time? Then you have to add in boogers flicked, food dropped, snot rockets shot........yuck, not ever going to happen!

But I remember one of the girls on my daughter's cheer team going barefoot at the MK after comps in March of 2012. I can't believe her feet didn't rot off.

 

[HouCuseChickie]

Barefoot...never. Of course, I do have a great love for shoes...so that's a big part of it.

 

[NintendoDS]

One time I would like to not wear shoes or socks is Kali River Rapids. I don't like the chance of getting your sneakers soaked. Other local parks near me let you ride their rapids rides barefoot.

There is no benefit whatsoever to walking barefoot in a theme park.

 

[copcarguyp71]

Barefoot on the beach or around the pool...heck yeah. In a theme park where sticky soda, DoleWhip, apple juice, or any number of other nefarious sticky oozes have been spread around...not so much! Sorry just not my thang!
