I think I may be overpacking. We're going to be at WDW for 8.5 days. So far I've got packed:

3 pairs of shorts
2 skorts
4 t-shirts
2 sleevless t-shirts
2 long sleeve shirts
1 light sweater
2 pairs of capris
1 pair of jeans
1 Mickey polo dress
2 bathing suits (hate the feeling of putting on a wet bathing suit)
1 formal dress for V&A
1 pair Teevas
1 pair Niles crocks
1 pair water shoes
1 pair heels for V&A
PJ's
Lots of undies (my biggest fear is running out of clean underwear on a trip :eek: )
Wearing on plane - matching sweat suit outfit with pink Tinkerbell t-shirt and Tinkerbell sneakers.

What do you think?

I too tend to overpack. Better safe than sorry. Looks like you have have at least ten outfits. Compared to what I would take that's nothing! When we travel I pack two outifts a day, so for an eight day trip I would end up with at least sixteen outfits. I never, ever wear it all, but it's fun to have choices and a lot of variety while on vacation. Then again, I'm just prissy that way.

Thanks! I do tend to overpack, but I know if I took something out, that would be the ONE thing I wish I had :)

3 pairs of shorts
2 skorts -- 1 should be fine
4 t-shirts
2 sleevless t-shirts
2 long sleeve shirts -- 1 should be fine
1 light sweater
2 pairs of capris -- 1 should be fine
1 pair of jeans
1 Mickey polo dress -- Skip this, since you have shorts & skorts
2 bathing suits (hate the feeling of putting on a wet bathing suit)
1 formal dress for V&A
1 pair Teevas
1 pair Niles crocks
1 pair water shoes -- Skip these, since you have the crocks
1 pair heels for V&A

I have learned from previous trips that I can pack 10 days worth of clothes in a carry-on rolling suitcase. Any more than that, then it's just a waste. I bring 10 days worth of clean socks & undies, but just a few t-shirts, a couple of shorts, 1 pair of pants and water shoes. If I get all my shirts or shorts dirty, there are laundry areas in every hotel.

Doesn't seem too bad to me. You seem to have a pretty good variety of stuff.
