For me, it is really just a matter of having two pairs of good shoes and trading off between them. I usually go back and forth between my athletic sandals (right now, Merrills) and sneakers (usually New Balance). I won't wear new shoes in the park, not because I think the shoes need to be broken in but because I wouldn't want to take a chance on unexpected blisters from friction on different parts of my foot. Especially with sandals, knowing how to adjust the straps for a good fit and understanding how they'll be in hot or wet weather takes a few wearings at least.
But I also think your starting point in terms of walking makes the biggest difference. We sort of "train" for our WDW trips because it is so much walking, just by walking more than usual both in distance and frequency. Disneyland isn't nearly as demanding, but it is still worth just getting in the habit of being on your feet before going.
