Practical shoes of Disney
On reflection, my cost benefit analysis failed to adequately quantify the health benefits of a day at Disney.
It’s amazing how much walking you do just standing in a line, waiting.
But you can release endorphins and relax your mind while standing in the ridiculously long queues by playing a game Mrs H invented: “Practical shoes of Disney.”
You see, she noticed lots, and I mean lots, of people wearing shoes that just did not seem practical for a long day with lots of walking. Heels, clogs, knee-high boots etc.
The aim of the game is to spot the most impractical shoes before you reach the front of the queue and get on the ride. I wasn’t quick enough to snap the 8 inch sthillettos or the wooden thongs, but here’s a selection of the winners from across the day:
Slipper girl:
Platform slipper girl:
Speckled heels (imagine putting in 17.2km in these!):
And my personal favourite: the golden gypsy (who despite a full costume, was not a Disney staffer):
Once you add the intangible health benefits, the cost of new shoes, a physio and a podiatrist, maybe going across the ditch in J is actually better value!
