I’m about to spend three days at Orlando parks next month, and I’d love to prevent something that happens every time I walk the parks on a hot day in Florida: a heat rash on my lower legs. It can be such a bummer! I’ve tried sunscreen, socks with athletic shoes, etc. Any ideas would be helpful!

Cotton and aloe a good combo.
Aloe - good idea to have it on hand!
The good 'ol "Disney Rash", a.k.a., "Golfer's Rash",and officially known as exercise-induced vasculitis. Its a combination of being out in a hot sun while on your feet all day.
Here are some things you can try:

For me, the rash looks much more painful than it really is so I don't do much, and after a couple of days away from Disney, it clears up on its own.
There is a product called "Chub Rub" which is like a deodorant-style stick that you apply to your....parts that...well....rub! We used it on our last trip to WDW and it does what it advertises with a smooth, frictionless glide!
But I have gotten as TwoBits mentioned..."The Disney Rash". It went from my ankles to my knees and looked horrible, but was actually painless. I need to exercise more :D

Cotton is your friend when it comes to that! Avoid synthetic clothing and get some nice cotton shorts not to tight as well. If you do get a rash I use Aloette's visible aid cream before going to bed and typically all good by the morning.
