ki4evr Posted June 18, 2011 Share Posted June 18, 2011 Does anyone think board shorts would be comfy to wear through the rest of the park other than Boomerang Bay? Also Sandals or sneakers? Walking around after getting wet from the canyon or congo while wearing jeans or sneakers might not be good. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
teenageninja Posted June 18, 2011 Share Posted June 18, 2011 Board shorts would be good if you are planning on doing water rides. Sandals are a good toughness test. It's pretty hard to walk around all day in sandals, but like I said, if you are planning on doing water rides, probably a safer bet. Either that or bring a change of shoes.

Fire-Beast-OF FEAR Posted June 18, 2011 Share Posted June 18, 2011 Cargo shorts are probably your best bet and sandals are durable and dry quick after WWC or Congo falls. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
IslandAddict Posted June 18, 2011 Share Posted June 18, 2011 I've made the mistake of riding water rides with jeans and shoes too many times. I'm miserable for the rest of the day. Either do what you were thinking, or bring a change of clothes and hit all the water rides at once. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ki4evr Posted June 18, 2011 Author Share Posted June 18, 2011 Thanks and I thought about trying the backyard BBQ but I want to know if anyone else has and what the meal consist of and the quality. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fire-Beast-OF FEAR Posted June 18, 2011 Share Posted June 18, 2011 I have tried Backyard BBQ before and It was a very good deal. The food was very fresh especially the pulled pork. Though be prepared to be alone or with little amount of people. The only complaints I have are there are bees by the pop fountain but they don't sting and the buns are stale but these are all things that are apart of a real backyard picnic.

jcgoble3 Posted June 18, 2011 Share Posted June 18, 2011 If you plan on wearing sandals to the park, make sure they are really broken in. By "really broken in", I mean that the sole should have essentially formed to your feet. On a good broken-in pair of sandals, you should be able to, after they have been sitting overnight, run your hand across the sole and feel depressions in it where it has formed to your feet. These depressions should be especially noticeable at your heels, the balls of your feet, and possibly your big toes as well. Once sandals have formed to to your feet, they can actually be quite comfortable even for walking around for a whole day, but until then, they can be a royal pain in the ass foot.

Diamondback FOF Posted June 18, 2011 Share Posted June 18, 2011 I usually wear flip flops or sandals to the park during the summer Occasionally my feet will be a bit sore, but that could be part of the running I do...and the only other issue is my foot might get a bit irritated from one area on my flip flop, but sandals shouldn't have that issue I would imagine board shorts would be comfy enough. Another option is a thin pair of athletic shorts, which usually dry pretty well...DON'T wear cargo shorts tho! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jcgoble3 Posted June 18, 2011 Share Posted June 18, 2011 ...DON'T wear cargo shorts tho! I can second that. I wore cargo shorts to the park one day in May and ran through all of the water rides about 2:00. The shorts were still wet the next day. I prefer athletic shorts if I plan on riding water rides.

A REAL backyard picnic= Burgers not chicken fingers I made the mistake of wearing a new pair of Sandals to the park once. OUCH. Never again.
