Hello All

A question:

I'm going to WDW from December 20-26 and I enjoy being barefoot in sandals. Is it too cold there for sandals during this time and does anybody wear them?

Thank you

I don't know how easily you get cold-

Why not pack an extra pair of shoes and some socks, just in case? :)

Weather is unpredictable and if I were you I would want to be prepared.

Gosh, I thought this was a major crisis question. :lol:

Like Erika said just pack both, that's easy enough. You will propably be fine in sandals.

Now where is the huge important question. :lol:

thanks for the reply but do people wear sandals and can you go barefoot in the parks in sandals. If it gets cold I could wear socks. What about temps and will it get to cold? I would like to wear the sandals the whole time

I don't think you can go Barefoot, do you mean can you wear the sandals without socks... I'm pretty sure the answer is yes, I know I saw people at Islands of Adventures like this. Again I think the wheather will be fine for sandals, it doesn't really get cold like snow wheather in FL so you should be fine. Maybe at night you should wear socks just to keep your feet a little warm... when the sun goes down it does get a little cooler. I honestly see no reason that you could not wear sandals with feet exposure, and even if their is a "rule" somewhere I highly doubt Disney would say anything to you, but again, if you go Barefoot in the parks I'm sure you will have some trouble (although I don't think that is what you mean).

You can wear sandals without socks in the parks- there is no rule against this that I am aware of, and if there is, everyone pretty much ignores it.

I doubt there would be a rule against wearing sandals. As for wearing them with socks...I think that's just rediculous looking. If you don't mind your fett getting a little bit cold then go for it.

I live in Rhode Island and the temperatures lately are in the 40's and I have a friend who wears sandals every day with no socks lol.

Winter weather is very unpredicable at WDW. I have had the pleasure spending my past two New Year's Eves at WDW. Two years ago it was below freezing. Last year it was about 65 and rain. I've alo been when it's 80 degrees. My best advice it to pack for all weather and watch the weather reports before you leave. But whatever you do, DO NOT TRUST THE WEATHER REPOTS ALONE. That's what we did two years ago and frooze to death. And I was born in Buffalo, NY!!!

You really cracked me up with this question! If you are so stubborn and want to wear your sandals all the time, do it! Who is going to forbid you from doing it? :lol:

I freeze when my feet get cold, so I´d be more comfortable with shoes at night, but if you don´t get cold that easily, then carry a pair of socks to wear with your sandals if/when you get cold!

Don´t forget to have a pedicure done! :lol: :animwink:

Thank You all for responding. I have a pair of adidas flip-flop sandals that are quite comfortable. If that's what you wanted to know. please reply with more information.

I would advise against wearing sandals at this time...


It is not "in style" to have sandal-tan on your feet...When it comes back in style, feel free to expose those piggies whenever you want :)

I grew up in FLA and can remember swimming on Christmas Day or having rolling blackouts because everyone was drawing on the power to run their heat. Watch the weather reports. And I hope your feet are tough enough that you won't wear blisters on them by not wearing socks. You're more of a man than I am.

As others have said, it is really hard to say. From a policy standpoint, there won’t be any trouble with getting into a park with sandals (with or without socks) on so don’t worry about that in the least.

Often times we only have around two or three weeks out of the year that are cold all day long but it isn’t uncommon in those few weeks to have the temperature drop well below freezing. The problem is that these few weeks don’t’ always happen one after the other and they happen at different times each year. Today for instance, might not have been a day that a lot of people would have wanted to spend any significant amount of time outside in shorts unless they were doing something incredibly active but it could be warm again by next Wednesday.

Many an early morning or late night, I’ve had to scrape ice off my windshield in recent years and I live closer to the gulf where it should be warmer. With that in mind, except for the few weeks that it is really cold, it usually isn’t all that bad during the day. If you are someone who isn’t bothered a lot by mildly cold weather you should be fine during most days but I would strongly suggest you consider taking your shoes with you to a park and putting them in a locker if you plan to be in any park after sundown because that is when the temperatures become more uncomfortable – especially if you are waiting outside for MK fireworks or Illuminations at Epcot or… Fantasmic and if you go for Fantasmic I strongly recommend you bring something to sit on or invest in one of the bleacher seat pads they sell because those aluminum bleachers feel REALLY cold on colder nights when you are sitting on them. Trust me – your rear and your lower back will thank you when it is time to stand up!

Hello,

I have worn sandals without socks quite a bit in December the two times that I have gone in that month. Sometimes it is cool, but I am a hot blooded person. Don't get that cold that easy. If you get cold easy, you may want to bring pair of tennis shoes and socks. I have also worn shorts more than I Have long pants or jeans.
