Always double check. We thought we had everything got a ride to the airport, packed the car got out went to check in waited on line almost 45 minutes before i relized I left my DS suitcase at home. We had no time to go home and get it. So yesterday our first day at disney was spent buying him all new clothes. But i didnt let it ruin our trip we had a great day today at magic Kingdom. The look on my DS face (he is 3) when he saw Mickey and Minnie was priceless. Michelle

Hey Mish, I always type a list of what we are taking and what is carry-on. So there is no confusion at the luggage carousel. With 5 of us, we have quite a haul to bring. I can understand how that could happen though. The same thing happened to my friend, except the airline lost her son's luggage. Another way to avoid that is not to pack all of one person's clothes in one bag, but mix it up. I never do though, I have to have one bag for each person, otherwise I get too confused. Glad you didn't let it put a damper on your trip.

I try to make a list of all the suitcases/items so I can double check that they all made into the car. The other thing I always do is count all carry on items (including car seats and the gate checked stroller) so we can quickly check if we have everything as we get on and off the plane.
