THINGS TO PACK -Let's Pack Together

[3"Mouse"keteers]

As I read this... If you are flying...

Take list on page one. Remove 90% of the stuff or be prepared to PAY the overweight and/or extra luggage charges!

Part of the reason we're driving! lol They won't let me bring half my house with me on a plane!

 

[Melora]

Here is a few off my list that I didn't see on this one:

Boarding passes for the plane if you print them out ahead of time
ADR #'s
Personal towel to take to the pool (nice big one)
Pressed penny stuff
watch (I like this for the plane)
reading book for down time or plane
nail clippers (these go to the park with me too.. nothing puts damper on the day like a dang broken ragged nail)
tweezers
powder, especially for the summer heat
tide-to-go stain remover (also goes in my park bag)
safety pins

Just want to make sure you know you can buy the small hand sanitizer in a twin pack that hooks on your purse or whatever. This year I bought them and it was so easy to use while hanging off something I carried each day. Have a Great trip!

If you have small children.......Long Lines Survival Kit
When the kiddies start getting antsy, break out something from the kit!
Include: bubbles, disney stickers, small toys

motion sickness tablets ( Bonine/dramamine etc)
beach towels/water shoes if hitting the water parks
MORE ziplock bags, for putting your socks in during water rides and whatever else you want to attempt to keep dry
extra card for digital camera...those things are big bucks in the parks!
if bringing an air mattress...remember your sheets and preferably not white like Mousekeeping's
the dishwashing cloths are long gone...I have about 10 left...only because I used to cut them in 1/2 when I took them on vacations. They are great, not sure WHY they are no longer made. I checked the camping stores too...no luck!
If you have your tix already, photo copy them and put the copies in your room safe. If the tix get lost or stolen, show the photocopies to guest services and they will take care of you.

I think they may have stopped making the dishwashing cloths because they are not "green." As of a few weeks ago you could still buy them in large quantities on E-Bay.

I am a habitual tooth brush forgetter. A tooth brush is a necessity in my book.

This is probably the only reason I'm glad we drive to Disney - I hate Driving (DH hates flying so we drive), but it sure does make it easy to take the extra stuff. Especially since we go for over 2 weeks.

 

[MelanieC]

I buy 4 brand new toothbrushes early in the planning stages and throw in my tolietry bag, along with a new tube of toothpaste. I don't touch these - until we arrive in Florida.
That reminds me - I need to start picking up things here or there now for my trip next summer. I try to buy this kind of stuff and throw in my bag. Less last min stuff to buy. It always costs a fortune at the last min. buying stuff you need. I figure getting some of the basics helps.

so sorry if these have already been suggested,

but I suggest Body Glide and a swim towel (the super fast drying ones that swimmers use) to wipe off stroller or yourself after a quick rainshower or wet ride.

Sharpie for autographs!

Just a bit of info that came across my family recently. My aunt got stuck in IAD because of weather. Her cell phone battery died with all the calls from her to my parents and vice-versa. So a word to the wise, pack your cell phone charger in your carry-on in case something happens and you need to charge your phone.

 

[LVSWL]

I would just add that it would be good if that was the NON Drowsy dramamin!
Also, I would take a pair of scissors for the moleskin to cut it. I always cut some pieces and keep a couple in my day bag. That big ole hunk won't do you any good in the park or room if you can't cut it to put on your foot

I figured as much! I'm just a little slow!

 

[Jakesmom504]

Great Idea!

 

[imthatgirl]

not sure if you are still checking this thread but the earplugs are for 2 reasons. 1. many young kids dont find the noise from the fireworks too pleasant and 2. many kids get swimmers ear very easily so ear plugs ward that off.

 

[HenDuck]

I'm going to read the whole thread and then add my own ideas, if any.

Great thread!
