What Most People Get Wrong

Showing up in brand-new sneakers, fashion slides, or cute sandals. Universal Orlando guests average 15,000–20,000 steps on multi-park days across Universal Studios, Islands of Adventure, Epic Universe, and CityWalk. Blisters usually hit by lunch — and Diagon Alley cobblestones plus metal-detector lines make unsupportive footwear even worse.
