Trying to make sure we don't leave anything out when we pack.

Thanks so much for the quick response. I'm probably going to bring plastic ware, plastic/styrofoam cups and paper plates.

What about napkins, papertowels???

[BillPA]

No longer do they have napkins, but plenty of paper towels.

[SleepyatDVC]

I would bring the napkins but skip the plastic/paper cups, plates and utensils. Use the real stuff. That's what the dish washer is for.

There's also a fairly detailed listing in the new Member Guidebook that everyone should have (or will be) received.

See pgs 71 - 72

Why would you go to the expense and trouble to bring paper plates when you can have real utensils available and as much automatic dishwasher soap as you want? Puting dishes in the dishwasher is no more work than throwing away paper plates and certainly better for the environment.

[GAIL HAYDEN]

dianeschlicht,
I totally agree with you!!!! Save the paper for picnics ( I don't even use them then), save a tree. ;)

[Figaro30]

Sorry, but we decided to bring all paper stuff. I don't want to be loading a dishwasher while I'm on vacation and neither does my mother, father or husband. We all decided against using the real stuff. Besides, it's no trouble for us to take them. We're driving down so we can put whatever we want in our car.

[SleepyatDVC]

Figaro30,

JMO, but bringing all your own stuff kind of defeats the purpose of having a full kitchen. :)

Believe me, if you do use the kitchen at all, you'll wind up using the dishwasher. Pots & pans & cooking utensils aren't disposal and since you'll wind up washing those, what's a few more plates and cups! :p

But since you are driving, just throw them in the car. No harm, no big deal, it's there if you need it (paper cups are handy by the pool). Just be prepared to have to throw them back in the car on the way home. ;)

Have a great trip!

SleepyDVC...I hear what you're saying. But we didn't necessarily buy into DVC because of the kitchens. We bought into DVC because we would be able to bring people with us and have a really nice size room. While it's nice to have the option to cook, etc. to us it's only an option, not a definitive selling point.

Although this is my first trip "home" maybe I'll feel differently about it when we're there. But for now, I don't forsee us running the dishwasher not even 1x. And definitely not doing ANY cooking except for the english muffins and bagels in the morning. I'd rather eat out everday and pay. ;)

[dianeschlicht]

I guess I would look at packing disposables as more "work" than loading a dishwasher. No need to put the dishes away, just reuse them out of the dishwasher. Since the dishwasher is right next to the garbage bin, it would be the same action unless you plan on leaving the paper plates where they lay.

[Figaro30]

All I know is in my house, me and DH see the loading and unloading of the dishwashing as a pain in the tush. We'll each ignore it to see who can win out and which one loses to do the unloading/loading. LOL!! It's quite an adventure in my kitchen! Sometimes I just end up washing by hand to avoid loading. Call us weird I guess. :D

You're more than welcome to be our Acting Loader/Unloader while we're on vacation though. Just let me know!!

[dianeschlicht]

LOL! It's a deal! Do I get the hide-a-bed?!:D

[Figaro30]

Better yet...you can stay on the couch in the livingroom. That way you'll be really close to the dishwasher!!!!

[Caskbill]

This has been a fun thread.....

I'm betting with Diane that once you're there, you'll want to eat off of regular plates.

When you get back Figaro, please post back as to how your trip went, and especially whether you used the dishwasher or not.

Have a great trip! :bounce:

[dianeschlicht]

Lol! I meant the couch in the living room! I take my job seriously you know.:D I figure it is a cheap price to pay for an extra Disney fix!:p

Have a great trip!

[Figaro30]

Thanks everybody for the well wishes!!! I'll be sure to have an update on the dishwasher saga when we arrive back home!! We'll see what happens! :D

[DebbieB]

Since we don't have a dishwasher at home, I consider it one of DVC's luxuries!:)

[dianeschlicht]

Are you back yet, Figaro? Can't wait to hear if you DWed or not!

[Figaro30]

LOL....Diane...I haven't even left yet!! We're leaving Thursday am at 4:00am. We won't be in WDW until Friday at Noon.
We'll be arriving back in NY on evening of December 2nd.

However, I just ordered some food for OKW to deliver to the room and 2 of the items I ordered were 1 doz eggs and bacon. So....It seems like we will be washing at least a frying pan. Don't think we'll run the dishwasher for this though.

I'll let you all know when I return back home on the 2nd. :D

[GAIL HAYDEN]

If you are considering using the fry pan for anything, I suggest something along the lines of a spray or SOS/Brillo to make clean up easier. Those pans are difficult to clean.

[SleepyatDVC]

Gail,
Thanks for the reminder about cleaning the pan!! Eggs are the worst to clean!


Figaro30,
Let us know if you ever use the dishwasher!

Another idea is to use every cup/dish in the cupboard, load it in the dishwasher as you use them (just like throwing into the trash), and leave it for housekeeping to run the dishwasher when you checkout. Maybe leave a small tip for housekeeping for turning the knob?:) Personally, I would run the machine myself before walking out the door.

Have a great trip!

[dianeschlicht]

FYI, the OKW pans are REALLY bad for sticking! I'de rather run the dishwasher than clean one of those pans!:D

HAve a GREAT trip tomorrow!

[dianeschlicht]

I'm going to bump this up so Figaro sees it on returning home!

[dianeschlicht]

Just bumping so Figaro sees this on returning home tonight! Can hardly wait to see if you DWed!:D
