Here’s What a Day at Disney World Can Look Like if You Aren’t Prepared

5. MISTAKE: You didn’t pack extra socks.

And you’re at EPCOT. And it’s been raining. All. Day. Long. Your walking tour along the World Showcase Promenade felt more like a walking tour of the Florida swamplands because your socks are drenched, and every step makes a watery “squish” inside your shoes. The sun is just now peering out from behind the clouds, but you’re miserable—who likes walking around in slimy wet socks? And because your feet are wet, they are also cold. And because your feet are cold, you’re cold all over. Now you’re really feeling icky and uncomfortable. “My kingdom for a pair of dry socks!” you mutter under your breath.

SOLUTION: Always, always, always bring an extra pair of socks into the parks for every member of your family. Always—even if the forecast shows no possible chance for rain. Afternoon showers can (and do) pop up any day of the week in central Florida—whether the Weather Channel anchor’s crystal ball said so or not. And even if it doesn’t rain, there’s the chance that your socks will get wet when you enjoy a water ride like Kali River Rapids or Splash Mountain. Those dry socks you brought along can be the difference between a magical day and a miserable day in the parks.

I am a writer and a Mom to four children and two baby shih-tzus. My first experience with the Magic was in 1988, when my parents surprised my brother and me with a visit to Walt Disney World after a short trip to see friends in Georgia. I still hum the tune played during the Main Street Electrical Parade and remember the feeling of excitement from my very first visit. I introduced my husband to the Magic several years ago, and we take our children to the parks every time we can. No matter how many times I visit Walt Disney World, it seems it’s not enough! The ever-changing experience only gets better with each trip, and I’m thrilled to share the Magic with others, as well as some of the tips and tricks to getting the most out of the Magic with each visit!
