hmmm..ok let's see. in the camping dept. at wal-mart, we got ponchos for 87 cents each. at the front registers, you should see small bottles of purell (got 2 of those also). also, over in health & beauty in the sample bins, you might find some useful things-i always get the charmin toilet seat covers. if you have children, you might look in the toy dept.-we got glow bracelets and glow sticks for .48 and .88. that's all i can think of right now-enjoy your trip! :wave:

The pancho idea is good too. I am going to do that one next time down. I would also like to add the Brita Fill and Go personal water bottles too. They have a filter in them to filter out the stuff in the water.

The ponchos were a Godsend on our last trip. Stock up on those! We just use them and then throw them away and wip out another if it rains on another day. Much cheaper than the $6 ones at the park!

What about those drink things you put in your water bottles (the water tastes terrible in Disney). I have seen them at Wal mart and I beleive they are made by Crystal Light.
I have toliet seat covers in a small package made by charmin I beleive. Really come in handy!

Blister Bandages! Or moleskin! A must! And don't forget wipes - I love my Purel but a wet wipe is great too! Ziplocs- BIG ziplocs! To keep your camera dry in case of rain!
Have a SUPER trip! :sunny:

Did you guys know that Purell makes wipes?? We love them and use them to clean off tables, dirty hands, etc. They are available in bulk at Costco.
I think they are more effective then regular antibacterial wipes.

One of these to hold park passes, FP slips, and room keys:

They are located in the jewelry section, on the rack with wallets and wallet accessories, and only cost 97 cents. They come in Horizontal and vertical orientation; I prefer the horizontal, because that's the orientation of ID, tickets, and room keys.
I also put a nametag in it so my on-line friends can recognize me in the parks:

Do you tend to buy an lot of stuff while you're at WDW? Walmart has black duffle bags that, when enpty, zip up in themselves to where they are about 2" deep and about 9"x5"...they are small enough to pack in your regular luggage then whip out if you go overboard on souvineers. (We bought lots of breakables, so we put those on our carry on and put our dirty clothes in the duffle bags.) I think they're $9 each.

At the check out they usually have a 9 pck of Clorox wipes, with bleach(about $1 per pack)... call me old fashioned, but I like to clean my resort bathroom myself before we use it.

I also agree with the Clorox Wipes - brought those little packs on our last cruise and loved them. Also agree with the poster about the Crystal Light Lemonaid packs - they are awesome. Made for a 20oz bottle of water (although we don't like ours that sweet so we get two out of one pack) they pack easy and make even the worst tasting water much better. Other companies are now making them and are also available at our local grocery store in the same isle as juice boxes and kool aid mix. We get ours at Sam's - two packs of 30 for about $13.
Have fun!
