We’re in the market of trying all the “viral” items we find online that people say you need for Disney World or Disneyland trips, solely because we need to see if that’s ACTUALLY the truth, or if you can actually save some money and forgo grabbing whatever it is.

Silicone Waterproof Shoe Covers
We’ve tried some “essentials” that are far from it, and we actually recommend you stay far away from them, but we’ll also be honest and say there have also been many that we DO feel are necessary, even ones that we thought would be a total waste. In fact, one of the ones we were most skeptical about was those silicone shoe covers we saw go viral on TikTok. We thought they’d be totally useless, but alas, we were proven VERY wrong.

It rains a LOT in Disney World, especially during the summer season. We often talk about how important it is to bring umbrellas and/or ponchos into the park, because the last thing you want is to be soaking wet for the remainder of a Disney World day. It may not seem that bad, but when you’re all wet, and then you walk into a restaurant or ride with BLASTING AC? Yep, you’ll regret it almost immediately.
Rainy Day in Magic Kingdom
While clothes can dry out decently quickly, especially on hot days, shoes and socks are a different story. While some people can walk around the parks in open-toed shoes all day and not have issues, we do recommend sneakers for the support they provide. When those get wet, though? That’s a recipe for blisters, and those can quickly ruin the rest of your trip. That’s where the Silicone Waterproof Shoe Covers come into play, and though they look silly, we can say firsthand that they DO help.

Shoe Covers!
All you have to do is put these on over your shoes and zip them up! If you’re in between shoe sizes, we recommend sizing up, just to be on the safe side, to ensure the zipper on top can close entirely. We put them on during a downpour in Magic Kingdom, and after just about 10 minutes, when we looked at our reporter, who didn’t have them on, and compared the dryness of our own shoes to theirs, we knew these were golden.

Easy to put on!
Now, if it’s raining particularly hard and you’re walking against the rain, meaning the rain is rolling down your legs towards your feet, that’s where you may notice some drops slipping through, so they’re not completely foolproof. However, they will save your socks from creating blisters that will hurt with every step for the rest of your trip, and we think THAT is a massive win. This way, too, you can still walk around the parks while it rains instead of hiding inside or under an overhang.
We’ll be sure to keep you updated on all the latest Disney World news and help you plan/pack for your trip, so stay tuned to Magical Guides!
